About this property

On hilltop with pool. Only 400 feet down to waterfront, dock & kayaks.

Exuma Vacation Cottages: located away from the congestion and noise of George Town. The cottage has equipped kitchen, living room, 1 bedroom, 1 dressing room 1 bathroom and a screened front porch. Ideal for two people, can sleep three.Located directly across from Moriah Harbour Cay, which has been designated a Bahamian National Park. Moriah Harbour Cay has miles of the most beautiful, pristine (and almost always deserted) beaches in the world. Between the Cay and your cottage are some of the best bonefishing flats in the Bahamas.
Next to Moriah Harbour Cay is Man O’ War Cay, which also has miles of beautiful, deserted beaches, with great shelling, snorkeling, and swimming. All of these activities are a short kayak ride away (your own two person sit-on-top kayak is included with your cottage rental). You can kayak through awesome mangrove channels, fish for yellow tail snapper,and bone fish or just relax and enjoy views that very few others can see and appreciate. At the end of the day, relax on your screened porch overlooking the ocean and Moriah Harbour Cay, or have a swim in our 35 foot solar heated fresh-water pool, and plan your next day’s activities.
Your onsite host, Valerie, has resided in Exuma since 1964. She can direct you to and assist you in: finding the best bone fish guide; getting a fishing license, finding the right restaurant and finding island entertainment that you will enjoy; renting a car or boat; exploring the island from Little Exuma to Barraterre; finding secluded beaches; going snorkeling, diving and deep-sea fishing; shopping for the essentials and gifts for the folks at home. She can advise you about all aspects of your vacation experience - travel to and from Exuma, what to bring, what to expect, and how to make the most of your visit to this special place.

The best spot in Exuma.
Valerie is one of those people that anyone is lucky to meet in life. Such a wonderful person and an amazing host. We found the location to be the perfect place to explore everything around the island and beyond. Located right on the Mariah Harbour Cay National Park we had an amazing experience using the kayaks provided to easily paddle around and see the absolute beauty this place has to offer. Only a 15min drive to Georgetown was easy to access boat rentals and water taxis to Stocking Island. Valerie did everything possible for us to enjoy our stay and make us feel safe and comfortable. Thank-you for sharing your amazing place with us. We hope to return again as soon as we are able.

Clean pleasant accommodation
Valerie is friendly, quick to respond to questions and very helpful. Check in was so easy, she even invited us to come early on check in day as we needed to be out of our previous resort by 11am. The buildings are older and the air conditioning unit is pretty loud, but the unit was clean, well stocked and the beds are comfortable. The screened in porch was a lovely relief from the evening insects! The property is a little ways from town, so very quiet. Though the ocean is a short walk away there is really no beach, just an area to launch the kayak. It's well treed so not much view of the ocean either, but lovely foliage, flowers and prolific birdsong. We looked forward to the pool every day, it was such a refreshing end to a salt water day. We also used the double kayak, which was a real treat! Mariah Cay and Crab Cay are easily accessible to even novice paddlers. We saw sting rays, fish and turtles, not to mention beautiful deserted beaches! This property is quiet, clean, and completely adequate for an enjoyable getaway... just don't come expecting a luxury beachside experience.

Great stay!
One of our best trips to Exuma ever! This was our first stay here and we have already planned a return in July. Nothing compares to the peace, tranquility and beauty of Moriah Harbour with it's stunning beaches and sandbars, crystal clear waters and sea life. We took full advantage of the kayaks available to guests. The cottages were clean and comfortable and the owner, Valerie, was a delight and very eager to make sure we had a nice stay. We also loved meeting her sweet dogs, Chica and Bridget. Looking forward to our return in July!!! Thank you Valerie:)

Very affordable quaint clean stay with a pool! We saw a sea turtle right at the dock and more while kayaking. Valerie was very friendly & an accommodating host. Close to Tropic of Cancer beach & Blu Restaurant (our favorite places on the island.) We will be back.
