Bougainvillea House is a private, beachfront, air conditioned, villa; located on Great Exuma Island, in the Bahamas, 200 miles south of Miami, Florida. It is a secluded, exclusive, deluxe, waterfront home that is used as a weekly rental property for families, weddings, corporate retreats, and commercial photo shoots. It is also used for day or evening corporate functions for the Four Seasons Resort groups as small as 18 or as large as 300. Function catering is normally provided by The Four Seasons Resort, which is ten minutes away. Entertainment, décor, transportation, and destination management is available from various destination management companies (DMC’s).

Bougainvillea House Villa consists of two separate beachfront homes that can be combined together for larger family groups. There is also a separate garden cottage, which is available for additional capacity. Tommy Bahama furniture and linens are featured throughout. The North Villa has four bedrooms and one suite, four and one half baths, an entertainment room, living room, dining room, and kitchen; with a total of 2200 square feet of living space, which can accommodate up to 10 adults.

Additional beachfront rental homes are available within walking distance to the North and South of the Villa, if additional capacity is required.

The outside decks offer an additional 8000 square feet of outdoor living space; which includes an 1800 square foot rooftop “Sky Deck”. The Villa was opened in December of 2003 with a six month contract to provide deluxe accommodation for members of Exclusive Resorts Corporation, based in Denver, Colorado. Functions, events, and weddings have been held on a weekly basis, ever since. The house features a 2000 square foot main deck with seating capacity for 180 guests, outdoor stairways to the mid and upper decks, and two stairways to the beach. There is also a catering area and a stage. In 2004, the property was commercially landscaped to a resort standard, a stone entrance court was added, and the property was repainted.
