What a wonderful place to vacation. The views are incredible and the house/location is very safe. The host provided games, toiletries, towels, and all essentials to live in the house. The kayaking was unique. You are only 10-15 minutes away from breathtaking beaches. My only critique is that the back porch needs restrained/refinished. Chance for splinters. The pillows in the house are thin. Overall 5/5 stars.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very nice. Everything was clean and provided everything we needed. It’s a beautiful piece of property the house sits on. We enjoyed the hammocks, the kayaks and the awesome restaurants on the island. The people are very friendly. Only downside was the mosquitoes. There were tons of them. Locals said it’s due to the time of year.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the property, and all the island activities. We appreciate your note about the mosquitoes. Unfortunately, that time of year (especially if there is no wind) can bring more than we’d like, but we hope it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.

The house was great! NEW house with open floor plan was prefect for our family.

Kayaking from the house to our own private beach was the best part of the trip to Exuma! I would highly recommend this location if you like to explore and make your own adventures while on vacation.

Sunset Cove was Heaven on Earth!

We loved our stay here!!! The house was clean and well equipped, but you can also tell it's been well loved :) Judy was easy to work with and very responsive, as are the property owners. Our group of 8 including 4 boys under 12 really enjoyed the kayaks and the cove area! Make sure you bring bug spray because the No Seeums are INSANELY BAD! We can't wait to go back to Exuma again!!!!

Adorable House on Private Beach

With a 16-month old daughter, we were looking for a child-friendly home, and this is it. The house was perfect! Pros: -Brand new, bright and clean. The house is immaculate, modern and perfectly furnished. -The house sits on a private beach. It feels more like a bay than the ocean with small mangroves and a protected outlet right in front. For small children, it is ideal with zero waves and warm, clear, gorgeous water. -The hosts have thought of everything in terms of amenities. There are sea kayaks, beach chairs, beach towels, clean linens, a fully stocked kitchen with appliances, and more. If you're bringing a young child, they even have a Pack & Play, high chair and plush toys on the bunk beds! -The house manager, Judy, is a gem. She is responsive, helpful, and a wonderful resource for anything you may need while you're staying in Little Exuma. She's also a chef, so for a fee, will come cook a delicious meal right at the house. -The location is great assuming you're okay with the remote area of Little Exuma. About a 20 minute drive into George Town and 10 minutes to Tropic of Cancer Beach and Santanna's Resturant (yum), it's super convenient. Con: -One person's pro may be another's con. If you're looking for open ocean and waves, this is not it. We loved the beach, but it is a little rocky with a muddy bottom, but again, for a small child who is playing just on the water's edge, it's perfect. If you want a more traditional beach, Tropic of Cancer Beach is only a short drive away. -The running water comes from a well so it's not ideal for drinking, brushing teeth, etc. We asked Judy to bring us city water which she was happy to do, or you should be prepared to stock up on plenty of bottled water.

We were glad to have you and hope to see you back in the future!

Incroyable !

Dans cette maison vous avez le sentiment d'être seuls au milieu de la nature : plage privée, vue incroyable(même dans la maison grâce aux grandes baies vitrées), calme, aucun voisin ou bruits, juste les oiseaux. La maison est très bien aménagée, chaleureuse, vous vous y sentez tout de suite chez vous. Pour cuisiner en famille, même nombreuse, rien ne manque. L'équipe est facilement joignable et en cas de besoin ils interviennent très rapidement. Et cerise sur le gateau pour nos enfants pêcheurs à la ligne, l'un des meilleurs spots est à 5 mn à pied de la maison😁. Si nous revenons sur Great Exuma, nous choisirons sans hésiter cette maison dasn laquelle bous avons tant de beaux souvenirs.

Great rental

This house was great! Good home for the price. Renovated nicely. You are definitely away from everything being on Little Exuma but that is exactly what we wanted and the price was less than being closer to town. You are on some type of back bay it’s not an actual beach but the water there is always calm so it was great for our 3 year old to play in the sand and water without us having to worry about big ocean waves. It was also great for Kayaking and paddle-boarding. We brought our I-sups and were able to paddle just about every day. The owner was great!! Super helpful and sent us a welcome package with tons of info about the island including restaurants, groceries, water-sports, etc. We reached out to them several times and usually got a response within the hour. The property said it had beach umbrellas but they were missing when we got there. The owner reached out to the property manager and got us some new beach umbrellas delivered to the house the next day. The driveway is super rocky, steep and unpaved. This took us a few days to get used to parking on it. Other than that everything was great. I would definitely recommend this rental based off of how nice it was renovated and having reliable communication with the owner.

Charming at Sunset Cove

If you are thinking about staying at Exuma do it! The water is unreal. Sunset Cove was so fun for our entire family we had ages ranging from 76 to 6! It was perfect for everyone! The drive is a little further than I would like but the charm overrides the drive! We saw several starfish in the water just in front of the cottage. We kayaked to the lazy river and that was so fun. The house is stocked with everything that you need and the manager communicated with us when we had a need.

Paradise

We enjoyed our trip to Exuma and were pleased with everything about Sunset Cove. The house is just as pictured on the listing. Judy, the property manager, was accessible and so helpful. She helped us with our rental car, booking a boat for a day, and booking a fishing excursion. The owner, Will, was very helpful prior to our trip, checked on us while we were there, and followed up with us afterwards. This definitely was the best vacation we have taken as a family!! We will be back!

Beautiful property excellent accommodations

Beautiful property excellent accommodations. As a family we prefer to stay in a more secluded location and this was perfect. We were so close to some amazing beaches, excellent restaurants, fishing at the bridge, and of course kayak exploring the bay area. We saw dolphins, turtles, and many tropical fish. Waking up in the morning and seeing that beautiful view, the pictures do not do it justice. Will and Phil are excellent hosts. We appreciated the recommendations on restaurants and things to do, and the property manager Judy is responsive. The kitchen is very well equipped, The beds are comfortable and towels are high-quality. It is very obvious these are people who care about their guests. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed. Is that enough

Stay at Sunset Cove

Our stay at Sunset Cove was magical. The house was beautiful, clean and cozy, with all of the amenities. And the location speaks for itself. Sublime! Even with a broken leg, we kayaked every day and explored the Cove and Moriah Bay. Our hosts (Phil and Will) could not be more accommodating and responsive. Hope to return next year.
