The house, which is located on Great Exuma island, in the Bahamas, consists of two separate beachfront rental units, comprised of four bedrooms and one suite in the North Villa with a total of 2200 square feet of living space; and one bedroom and one suite in the South Villa, with 1800 square feet. The house was completed in 2003 and features a separate cottage that has one bedroom and one suite. Eight thousand (8000) square feet of outside decks were added, as well as two additional levels, including an 1800 square foot rooftop “Sky Deck”.

 

One of the most spectacular programs that Cacique produces, begins with cocktails on the "Sky Deck" with live music, just in time to watch the sunset. The civilized party moves to the main dining deck for either a buffet style or plated dining experience, while live entertainers provide background music for the function. Fire dancers, limbo dancers, cuban cigar rollers, straw market vendors, and Cuban salsa dancers crank up the adrenalin one notch as the moon rises over the islands to the east; as the waves can be heard in the background on the beach just a stones throw away, and the gentle ocean breezes cast a spell over the festivities. A surprise arrival of 25 Junkanoo band members in brightly colored costumes, beating a tribal beat on huge bass drums, sends confusion and chaos throughout the party. As the Junkanoo kicks into full gear, a massive commercial fireworks display that has been hidden from the guests; suddenly cranks the heat up beyond the red zone. The experience is beyond memorable and never fails to impress even the most jaded participant, as well as your hosts and providers.... every time, without fail.

 

The house is primarily used for deluxe, weekly, family vacation rentals and is also used for group function rentals, such as The Four Seasons Resort incentive travel clients. Dozens of functions have been completed since opening in November of 2003 with groups ranging in size from as small as 18 to as large as 280. The house features a 2000 square foot main deck, stairs to the mid and upper decks, and stairs to the beach; as well as 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.
