We absolutely loved our stay at the Lake Cottage. The home is exactly as listed, beautiful, comfortable and the location was perfection. My husband and I were looking for a private, relaxing getaway and this exceeded our expectations. The porch and water view was a perfect way to start and end our day and a 2 min walk to a practically private beach with crystal clear water and white sand. And don’t miss out on the 5 min walk to Brea’s seaside grill!. We stayed for a week and would have stayed longer if we could. The host was responsive and very friendly! Highly recommend!! Will hopefully be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lake Cottage Oleander by the Tropic of Cancer beach! The cottage was adorable & Valerie & Pierre were amazing. The location was so quiet & peaceful, plus it was a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. I highly recommend staying here.

The property was exactly as stated. Short walk to Tropic of Cancer beach. Clean and well equipped. Secluded area with no neighbors. Only draw back are the mosquitoes and biting flies which are everywhere on island. A long sleeve rash guard works well till you reach the beach. I would stay again.

Fantastic Time

We loved our stay at Lake Cottage. We had a little hiccup with our check in, but Valerie made it right and made sure everything was great for us. We look forward to staying at other properties with them in the future! Highly recommend this spot for a group of two, you have everything you need to enjoy this beautiful place.

Lovely secluded cottage on a salt lake with easy beach access

This little cottage was perfect in every way! It’s right off of Tropic of Cancer beach with private beach access. Valerie was terrific whenever we had a question. It has its own internet, water, and electric so there was never a power interruption. Highly recommend if you are planning to stay at this end of the island!

Christmas to remember

Valerie met us and took us to the cottage to check in and made sure we were comfortable with everything. The cottage was lovey and every detail was addressed. It was very private. We enjoyed the peaceful setting and sent time relaxing outside in the hot tub and lounging in spa like setting inside. Great time!

Peaceful & Tranquil

Our week stay here was great! Felt off the grid, we did have some storms and still had electricity, water and great wifi/streaming. The location was perfect, loved the quick access to Tropic of Cancer beach. We drove to Georgetown for dinner a few nights and to Hoopers for a beach day and didn’t mind the drive f/ Little Exuma. This house is exactly as pictured and described, had everything we needed. Property was clean and comfortable. Hot tub was a nice perk on the rainy day in. Definitely recommend booking!

Great cottage for two

Pros - Modern, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, great hot tub, plenty of shade on the porch, lots of unusual birds that visit the salt pond, great value for a short walk to Tropic of Cancer beach. Owners are very responsive! Cons: bugs at dawn and dusk can be brutal. Enter and exit quickly so they don’t get in the house! Recommend Brea’s Delight which is at the main beach access for veggie burger (and many other choices of course) and drinks. Enjoy the beautiful blues of Exuma!

Exceeded All Expectations!

We had a wonderful stay at Valerie’s Lake Cottage! The cottage was very cute and simple and we were impressed with the cleanliness of the entire place. We felt right at home right away and enjoyed the jacuzzi and eating our meals outside on the deck. The beach a very close walk and not populated at all, and the water is just beautiful - so so blue - pictures don’t even do justice. We felt very remote & secluded the whole time & it was like we had the place to ourselves! We both highly recommend this cottage to any couple who’s looking to get away for some quality time apart from the busyness of tourists at most vacation destinations!

Idyllic private escape

After 2 long years of Covid, it was our delight to be the very first guests at The Lake Cottage which is a 2 minute walk from the best beach anywhere. Tropic of Cancer Beach has sugar white sands and safe turquoise waters. The cottage is tucked away on an inland salt lake which we had all to ourselves. Though this part of Little Exuma is unspoiled our hosts have found every way to provide luxury whilst respecting the pristine environment: solar energy, reverse osmosis water supply, hot water on demand, great internet for work or entertainment. We enjoyed birdsong in the morning and after dark from our relaxing jacuzzi. The hosts live nearby and are always available and very responsive. Valerie even anticipates things that you may enjoy such as the Tommy Bahamas beach chairs that appeared magically at our door one afternoon! Thank you so much Valerie and Pierre for sharing your gem with us--it was a perfect week?

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I’m a premier host here and super host on another platform. I understand this system. This is to help others avoid a terrible experience.We arrived to find the home wasn’t in livable condition: no running water at check-in, no hot water, and an ongoing pest problem (spiders and ants throughout the bathroom and bedroom areas, including near the shower/toilet and around the bed). The hot tub was also not usable—dirty (sand/debris), surrounded by spiders, and only about 70F.The biggest issue was the host. We messaged repeatedly through the platform and received zero responses. Not “slow” or “poor” communication—no communication at all. With basic utilities out and pests inside the home, we had no workable path to get anything fixed.Location was also misrepresented by the overall impression of the listing. This is not beachfront. It’s in a strange area, tucked behind a large shed and next to a mosquito-infested lake, which made the setting feel uncomfortable and not as expected.We left after 1 night of a 7-night stay because the conditions were not what was promised and there was no host support.Then came the worst part: after we left, the host misrepresented the situation to support, implying the problems weren’t real and shifting blame onto us. We documented the issues and reached out repeatedly. There was simply no way to stay seven nights like this.

Perfect Place!

This little cottage is absolutely perfect! Fresh, clean, & even nicer than pictured. It has everything you need! PROS: Hosts: Valerie & her family are SUPER responsive! We were missing a beach umbrella the first day we arrived & within 10 mins it was delivered! Talk about service! Valerie has thought of everything! She even sends you a house guide once you've confirmed your reservation. This booklet includes all things related to the house along with directions, restaurant recommendations, activities, etc. - she has truly thought of everything! (VRBO owners could learn a thing or two from Valerie!) They even allowed us to use their kayaks at the main house one morning - so nice of them! Location: This location is EVERYTHING! Nicest beach on the entire island! You will not be disappointed. The cottage is a short walk from the beach - less than 5 mins/very close. Kitchen: has everything you need to prepare meals (knives; tupperware; pots/pans; etc.) there was not one thing we were missing. The induction cooktop is perfect; heats up super fast & cooks food evenly. Didn't use oven feature but microwave worked perfect as well. Bathroom: big walk in shower; full size washer & dryer; both which appear to be brand new! Bedroom: King size bed (which was EXTREMELY comfortable) with 2 nightstands Living Room - sofa with lounger & very large smart TV; we were able to watch Netflix/Prime with no problems.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake Cottage. We loved the location - quietly nestled away from a world class beach! We went to Exuma for its beaches, wanting to be away from crowds, and couldn't have found a better spot! Water views of the adjacent salt lake from the cottage were icing on the cake! Valerie and Pierre were very accommodating and friendly hosts.

This is one of the few places to stay for just 2 people, most of the VRBOs in this area are large homes for groups. It is secluded, overlooking the salt pond. Amenities are as described. Walk to the beach is more like 5 min. Sewer smells from toilet are overwhelming. Iron sediments in the water pipes will stain clothes.
