About this property

Li'l Gecko Cottage - Newly remodeled 2/2 on Guana

Have it all in Abaco. Whether you're a returning or first-time visitor to Abaco, Li'l Gecko Cottage provides the perfect place as your base to explore Great Guana Cay in Abaco, Bahamas.

Newly (post-Dorian) rennovated 2-bedroom (king), 2-bathroom (plus an outdoor garden shower) cottage minutes from the Great Guana Cay settlement. Although not waterfront, easy access to the sea and ocean - with great views of both – from the comfortable living spaces, inside and out. 
The inside, crow's nest and porches are entirely renovated; be aware the gardens are fortunately rapidly returning to their previous lushness. All photos are current, post Dorian, as of July 2022. Guana Cay itself (like all of Abaco) is still in the rebuild process; please reach out to us with any questions about island-wide amenities such as dining, golf cart and boat rentals, etc. (this is ever-changing at the moment). This is our second home of 20 years and has been rebuilt and thoughtfully equipped with love for both ourselves and our guests — with comfortable and private indoor and outdoor living spaces and extensive amenities and appliances. You'll easily find your favorite place to relax and enjoy the paradise that is Great Guana Cay - whether it's our crow's nest with views to the sea and ocean, or our garden oasis full of tropical plants and birds.

Television with Apple TV, a VPN-equipped FireStick, Direct TV, Sonos speakers, whole house filter, full well-equipped kitchen, beverage center with mini fridge, ice maker and sink, both with RO for pure drinking water. 
We have a push-to-start generator. It is easy to use and will run the whole house. We leave it full for your use, and an extra full gas can. This will run the house comfortably for about 36 hours. If you need more than that, you can purchase regular gas at Orchid Bay Marina. (This helps us avoid surcharges for generator use or fuel and you can choose to run it as much or as little as your comfort level - we often just go to the beach if the power goes out)

Be aware that the minimum turnover is set to 48 hours; this can often be shortened - please contact us so we can check with our caretaker about her availability. Likewise, we often block time out for our use, feel free to check with us if your dates are unavailable. We are happy to be flexible with booking and rebooking whenever possible - please reach out to us. 

No children under the age of 16, no pets under any circumstances. No smoking in house or in immediate vicinity of open windows or doors (owner has significant smoke allergies). 1-4 adults in two king bedrooms only. No floor or couch sleeping.  Caretaker will check.

Li'l Gecko, the perfect place to stay
Li'l Gecko was the perfect choice for us (two men visiting the Bahamas for work, no wives this trip). It has two master bedrooms and was a convenient 10 minute golf cart ride away from the job, both of these features were very important to us. Li'l Gecko is tucked away in it's own secluded space. The views from the crows nest are spectacular and the garden oasis is beautiful. The cottage itself is well appointed, very comfortable and relaxing. A great place to come home to after a long, hot day of installing cabinets. Abby (the owner) is awesome, very helpful and always answers emails and questions promptly and thoroughly, we were never left wondering about anything. Gina (the caretaker) was very helpful during our stay. She took very good care of us. All in all a great place to stay, whether it's for work or vacation! Maybe we'll bring our wives next time! But either way we will be back!
Stayed 27 nights in Nov 2023

About the host

Hosted by Abby Jacobs

Host profile image
My parents bought Li'l Gecko in 2002. They rented until about 2015 when they decided to spend more time there. Unfortunately, my dad got sick right about when Hurricane Dorian hit. So, my husband and I managed the rebuild — Guana holds such a special place in all our hearts (we got married at grabbers in 2010) we are committed to the post-Dorian era here. It took us from Sept 1 2019 until May 1 2021 for us to get the cottage livable again, after having to remodel from the studs after Dorian's damage (and power restored) but we are so happy with how it turned out. We never did get my dad back, but it's our little paradise and the improvements we made make it all that more enjoyable for us, my mom, our friends and renters. We hope you agree.

What makes this property unique

The outdoor spaces are a source of pride here. Every day you'll find a new place to relax with a cup of coffee or ice-cold drink and a good book or your favorite tunes, dependent on mood, sun and breeze. From the crow's nest to the lower garden space, we've put a lot of energy into creating a special oasis for ourselves and our guests.
