"We enjoyed our getaway. Beautiful views of bay and ocean. Our room overlooked the turquoise ocean water. What a spectacular way to wake up and fall asleep with sound and sight of waves. Staff was very kind. Family style place-don’t expect luxury here. Rooms are clean and has coffee machine with pods and mini fridge. Wonderful time to chill and let go as it’s a simple island lifestyle. Enjoyed use of kayaks exploring waters and surroundings. ."

"This was our 5th stay at the Cottages and still was a great experience! Cold AC and a comfortable clean bed, great location, friendly staff and easy access by boat or walking through shallow water or by beach to other places. Good WiFi, beach floats, great music (not too loud, either!) good food and lots of relaxation! See you next year!"

"We were looking for something simple and clean with close proximity to the beaches. This was perfect for us."

"Prepare for itching bites Baby oil does NOT help at all. Off worked best, unfortunately. We arrived at the tail end of Regatta so the availability of many food and daily items was a challenge. We did bring one suitcase full of snacks so it got us through ok. This is a paradise property and location but you should really stay at least 2 weeks for full appreciation of all Exuma has to offer. We hope to return and would stay again at Aqua Vista."

"I stayed at Exuma Palms Resort and had a very good experience. The resort is still being completed and should be fully finished in about six months — it’s clear it will be a beautiful place. Even though not all rooms are ready yet, ours was very nice and comfortable. The amenities areas were in great condition. The only limitation was that the restaurant and breakfast service were not fully operational yet, but it wasn’t an issue at all thanks to the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. It’s already a lovely place, and in a few months it will be truly spectacular. Definitely recommended."

"The house and property are amazing with a few minor issues that with the price of the house shouldn’t have been there. A few bedroom doorknobs falling off, the AC units were difficult to control and locked with a code we had to request mid week, and the dish washer broke. There is also advertised water and ice maker in the fridge but the water was turned off to the fridge so it didn’t work. They pushed back on delivering ice but ultimately agreed. These are small things that did not hurt the overall property but given the price, they should be fixed. The location was great for snorkeling, kayaking, and the pool was amazing. We ended up not using the dock as the boat rental we talked to said it wasn’t suitable for keeping a boat overnight. Overall it was an amazing experience and the island is worth exploring. "

"WOW!!!!! Is all I can say!!! This place is unbelievable. Has everything you need. From floats to grills. It is a seculde paradise. The property owner and Kay was awesome to work with. We had even forgotten a shot glass Kay went get some for us. So nice to deal with them. The views are amazing and the house were very comfortable. Thanks again guys. Will be back. "

"This property has serious issues. First and most important are the serious plumbing issues. Most of the the bathrooms have problems with the water pressure. Some to to point that they are not functioning properly. The maintenance man literally shut down one of the bedrooms we were using because of the problems with the bathroom. We had to move the guest out to share a bedroom with another guest. Three of the bathrooms did not have enough pressure to wash the soap out of your hair. When we complained the butlers said they had been reporting the issues to the owners but getting no results. The only had one of the swimming pools with the heat turned on. The outdoor lights for the only table that would hold our entire group did not work. We were told it would take two weeks to fix it, only a call to VRBO got the needed repairs. Both of the freezers in one house had big holes in the bottom of the refrigerators so the butlers kept towels on the floors 24/7 to keep us from slipping and falling from the melting ice."
