Summary: Loved our stay in our quaint cottage! Located about midway on Great and Little Exuma, so made a great base for our travels across the island, and we went point to point throughout the week. Dock and kayak was great fun (turtles!). And the pool was a great refresher after days on the beach.Host Miss Valerie was so sweet and helpful. Island had a short power outage on first night, and she went above and beyond to provide us with power from generator. She was very responsive and friendly to any question. Bridgit and Chica were friendly dogs.The island itself is spectacularly beautiful and water views are stunning! Some of the best beaches in Caribbean and often had them all to ourselves (in late May)!

Summary: My husband and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful location. It was private and incredibly peaceful. We enjoyed kayaking almost every day, and we saw tons of wildlife. Valerie was by far the best host we have ever stayed with. We stayed for two weeks and we could have stayed for two more. If you are looking for privacy in paradise, this is your place.

Summary: Valerie is absolutely the best host!!! What an amazing place to stay! My wife and I stayed at one of her cottages for a week and couldn't have been happier we picked this place. The location was perfect: half way between George Town for shopping/eating and the best remote beaches on Little Exuma, and easy kayak access to the Lazy River. The cottage itself was quaint and simple yet had everything we needed. The screened porch was our daily morning coffee spot with a peaceful million dollar view overlooking Moriah Harbor Cay National Park. One of the property highlights was the solar-heated in-ground pool. After a day of salty beaching, the pool was very refreshing. But the #1 most memorable thing about staying here was Valerie. We planned to arrive on a Sunday evening and Valerie let us know that the stores would be closed. She offered to pickup groceries for us ahead of time. We had fresh fruits, some breakfast items, wine, and beer waiting for us at the cottage upon our arrival. Throughout the week, Valerie periodically checked on us to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. She lent us a few sundry items, gave us great advice on places to visit (she's been a local since the 60's), and engaged in pleasant conversations. Sure you could pay more for a swankier vacation rental but you wouldn't get this level of charm and hospitality. My wife and I both felt like we were visiting our favorite aunt in paradise and can't wait to come back again!!

Summary: The cottage was no frills but had everything we needed and was nestled in a quiet area surrounded by native vegetation and many types of birds. The screened in porch and pool was perfect for relaxing too. The pier is a few feet away with easy access for kayaking or watching the green sea turtles from there. Valerie is a top notch host and ensures that you have everything that you need. Thanks again Valerie - we had a great time!

Summary: A most wonderful and relaxing stay in Valerie’s cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean and lacked for nothing. Quiet, safe, and well located location. We enjoyed the amenities and used the kayaks to get over to Moriah Harbour Cay and the unpopulated beaches. Valerie made sure we lacked for nothing and was a wealth of local information. Best of all, her dogs were our daily visitors.Thanks for everything, we hope to return someday!

Summary: My husband and I spent a week at this cottage. We agree that this was one of the most peaceful, restful vacations we have had, due in large part to the cottage and its owner, Valerie. It is outfitted with everything we need, but if we asked for anything Valerie very quickly took care of us. The cottage is small but very cosy, and we found the bed to be quite comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the beautiful screened in porch. We look forward to returning - hopefully next year. The pool is wonderful, and we enjoyed kayaking from the private beach. Thank you for everything, Valerie!

Summary: We had a delightful stay at this small cottage, which despite its age, provided all the necessities for a comfortable retreat. The location was absolutely perfect for our adventure-filled getaway, offering easy access to nearby beautiful, secluded beaches! While kayaking to the nearby Cays, we saw sting rays, turtles, and sharks! The host was incredibly accommodating and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. If you're looking for a cozy escape with basic necessities away from crowds and fantastic outdoor opportunities, this cottage is an excellent choice!

Summary: Valarie is the sweetest host! She checked on us every day to make sure we had what we needed. The cottage was cute and perfect for the two of us. We had everything we needed to cook meals. The power went off a few times which is common for the island, but the cottage stayed nice and cool the entire time. My husband who is always hot never complained and actually turned the AC up a few times because it was working so well! The location was great for seclusion and quiet! The kayaks were a wonderful amenity and we saw many turtles, fish, and a few sharks while touring Moriah harbor. There were 2 turtles who hung out in the private Bay Area every day which was so cool to see!! We didn’t use the pool but it looked beautiful and very clean. We were a short drive to little exuma and not too far from Georgetown. We would happily stay again!!!
