We've done exumas a few times. It's really incredible. Try to rent a place in February Point, especially if you are renting a boat.
Rent a house with a boat dock.
Rent the boat from Brown's Marina (they let you keep it over night).

Recommended places:
-Man O War Cay (catch it at low tide, unbelievable sand bars) Pack a lunch and ice chest.
-Chat n Chill (most popular, but most crowded. Get the conch salad) Great beach.
-peace n plenty (next to chat n chill, less crowded, good lunch, and great drinks) Great beach.
-snappy turtle (great lunch and view)
-Blue hole for snorkeling (just to the left of snappy turtle in the hurricane hole)
-Hoopers Bay (swim with turtles, take some cabbage or lettuce)
-Blu on the water (can get there by boat or car, but dock is a little tricky, across from Man O War) More upscale restaurant. Great Food and view.


There are some other great places to the north and south, but I would not recommend going by boat. Hop in your car and explore!

Enjoy

I did exactly this. I rented a 17' Boston Whaler from Minns Water Sports and took the family out to a different sandy flat and reef everyday. The boat is kept at their dock every night which was not a problem because we had a house on the beach without a dock. It was one of the best family trips ever. At the time my kids were 11 and 15.
