Cozy Cottage Perfect for 2

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit in the cottage. Everything we needed was accounted for and the close proximity to SCYC for meals was super convenient. Theo met us at the airport with a smile and got us all situated in the cottage before leaving us be. The golf cart is added bonus for seeing the island, highly recommend adding it to your reservation. (One small note for future renters- the grocery stores have limited hours daily and that’s especially true on a Sunday. Unfortunately we could not purchase coffee filter or ground coffee when we landed. It’s not a keurig machine, it’s a Mr Coffee drip machine so plan ahead if you like your coffee in the morning )We loved communicating with Theo and Anita during our fabulous stay- thanks for everything and hope to see you soon!"

Beachfront Villa with swim-up pool bar, spa, and pickleball court

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best property and experience that I've ever had. We are hosts of a luxury property as well so we have high expectations of what an experience should be for a guest. Jane (owner) and her team (Monique and crew) were absolutely fantastic. The team met us at the marina to help us transport all of our luggage and brought us directly to the home. We received a very detailed tour of the property and were told that they would help with anything we needed during our stay. The property itself is simply stunning. The views are absolutely epic, the court is stocked with all of the paddles, balls etc. that you would ever need and the pool is terrific after a day on the water. The home is incredibly well stocked and includes a separate icemaker that comes in handy for fishing and making frozen drinks! The bedrooms are beautiful and all of the decorations are up to date and in great condition.The home had COLD AC. So many places throughout the Bahamas struggle with that, not this place. That was a pleasant surprise. The team came to tidy up each day and answered any questions we had immediately. A wonderful place, with wonderful staff. They even helped us transport all of our luggage back to the boat when checking out. Perfect stay."

House sits high and gives beautiful views and refreshing breeze.

Secluded Private Beachfront Villa on Staniel Cay in Exumas Bahamas

10/10 Excellent

"I can't tell you enough how gracious and fabulous Chet and Brooke (the hosts) are. They welcomed us at the door with freshly baked Sourdough Bread, built a fire for us one night and were incredibly helpful with everything. Wade the manager was fabulous as well navigating any of our requests and queries. As for the property its simply incredible. We were a family of 8 (with a nanny) and everything was perfect. The views spectacular and we kept saying we felt we were on a yacht it was positioned so perfectly. The children spent their days scampering over the rocks and beach picking up shells whilst the adults sat back and gazed out across the beautiful turquoise waters. You simply must stay here if you visit Staniel Cay."

Incredibly clean. And honestly bigger than it looks in the listing.The pictures don't do it justice.The hosts were about as nice and communicative as it gets. They nailed it every step of the way.We're already looking to rebook for next year.Loved this house. Can't recommend it enough."
