Beautiful quiet gem of a place. Rare find
Steve and Ronda were extremely nice and helpful hosts on site. I stayed for a week in 2 different studios and enjoyed both. Gems: The property with fruit trees and flowers. The boat shed top deck/lounge with amazing 180 degree view of sea, mangroves, creeks. Expedition quality kayaks (perfect for exploring bays, estuaries, beaches) and gear in excellent condition. Well informed kayak quide! Nice relaxed breakfasts. Location: quiet, great stars, away from bustling Georgetown. Near gorgeous beaches. The scoop on local ways and places. The cheerful studios: just big enough for 2 people, well stocked kitchenette. Good beds. And just a number of little extra touches that brighten the visit and place. Their water is tasty and filtered. And you don't need a Jeep to get to their location or around Exuma. My Honda Fit didi fine, driven carefully.
