Historic Island Retreat on Little Exuma

Welcome to Turtle Creek Inn By The Sea! This is a lovely garden view studio apartment that has a nicely appointed kitchenette with a refrigerator, toaster oven, two-burner cook top and coffee maker. Forbes Hill beach is a 4 minute drive and Tropic of Cancer beach is a 8 minute drive.
The gardens are lush with native trees, fruits and flowers which attract a wide array of birds and butterflies. The property lies on a sweet tidal creek where we have our private dock for kayaking & paddle boarding tours.

.Activities available include world class kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, boating, and beach excursions. We can outsource deep sea fishing charters and bonefish flats fishing excursions.
We are uniquely situated in a location to offer a wide variety of kayaking terrains for all skill levels. There are numerous islands, mangrove marshes and trails surrounded by flats with crystal clear water and an abundance of marine life.
The beaches are a destination in themselves, offering an opportunity to walk, swim, picnic, play, work-out in a natural tidal current, snorkel, or just relax!

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.
