"About 700 Bahamian islands are sprinkled in the waters east of Florida, with the turquoise Caribbean on one side and the emerald Atlantic on the other. Of the 14 main islands, Grand Bahama and Nassau on New Providence are where the action is, with Exuma catching on fast and Johnny Depp among the celebrity homeowners."
By Tom Uhlenbrock St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Ah, soothing silence- Arixona Daily Star)

"The idyllic Exuma chain has become the hot new place to invest and live."

The Bahamas Investor February 2007

"The Bahamas' Exuma chain is the hot spot for high end investors. February Point and similar developments have become the catalyst for unprecedented growth and critical change on the main Family islands that have until now lived in the shadow of the fast tourism trade of the Bahamian capital of Nassau and Freeport."

Newsweek May 2007

"In a bid to feed the growing appetite for second homes among U.S. residents, a number of major developers are building luxury projects on far-flung Caribbean islands. Americans have been buying vacation or retirement places for years on well-known Caribbean islands like St. Thomas, Barbados and St. Croix. But the latest wave of building involves real estate that doesn't register on most people's radar - islands with names like Great Exuma, Roatan and Scrub -and is geared toward everyone from small-time investors looking for a bargain to wealthy executives seeking a tax haven."

Wall Street Journal March 2007

"The real Exuma is a do-it-yourself place, best discovered with sand between your toes." 

New York Times

"- Diane Hilliard's TOP PICK Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma at Emerald Bay, Bahamas "At this new property, which offers oceanfront golf and deep-sea yachting, the children's program is complimentary. The Teen Spa has green-seaweed facials and reflexology massages; 5- to 12-year-olds get mini mani-pedis and hair braiding." - "

Travel and Leisure by Robert Maniaci and Emily Shetler April 2005

"The pace of development may be slowing with the world economy, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Continuing progress in our tourism industry shows the Islands of The Bahamas attracting new airlift into the islands with the addition of Delta flights from Atlanta direct to Exuma and Eleuthera. Resort construction grows faster than expected throughout the country"

Vernice Walkine , Director General, Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.

"Exuma is one of the prettiest, most postcard-perfect islands in The Bahamas boasting water and land that appear almost inseparable. Shades of jade, aquamarine and amethyst in deeper waters turn to transparent opal near sandy shores - so exotic that sailors and crews like to stake out their own private beaches. So picturesque and awe- inspiring, wealthy Europeans, Canadians and Americans can't help but build special vacation retreats or retire here."

Travel Daily News

"The Club at Emerald Bay Yacht and Social Memberships incorporate a five-star, full-service private yacht club with wet and dry slip memberships and member-only amenities that rival any exclusive club around the world. While under construction, the private yacht and social club memberships are available at an introductory rate.

Located only 10 miles from Georgetown International Airport, this deep-water megayacht facility is a 24-hour port of entry with notification for customs and immigration. The marina has a 150-foot entrance, 14-foot depth MLW and 800-foot breakwater approach. In phase two, a dry storage area for boats up to 40 feet."
