Welcome to Nautilus By The Sea! Enjoy stepping into the beautiful warm turquoise waters of Hoopers Bay directly from your back door where you will find colourful fish, sea fans and an abundance of other marine life ready to dazzle you. Two stand up paddle boards are provided for you to explore Hoopers Bay, Turtle Beach and swim with the turtles.
The home sits on a small private lane off Queens Highway on 0.75 acres, is 90 feet from the shoreline and has many outdoor places to entertain and relax at the seaside. There is a large deck off the great room under a canopy of trees providing shade all day where you can grill out, dine and relax, or follow the wooden paths to the dock, gazebo and boardwalk along the shoreline. Stop along the way to gently swing in hammocks under the Gumbo Limbo trees. Enjoy laying on sun loungers on our sandy "beach" pit or have some fun playing cornhole while taking in the breathtaking view.
In the evening, enjoy sitting under the twinkling lights of the waterside gazebo and gaze at the amazing stars that fill the sky here in Exuma.
There is a bright and sunny courtyard at the front entry where you can relax in Adirondack chairs and enjoy the peace and tranquility of palms blowing in the wind, birds and beautiful vibrant colored tropical flowering plants of Exuma.
