Sunset Cove, Sunset Cove - Oceanfront Home with Kayaks for Lazy River!

Sunset Cove by Exuma Exclusives – a 1,400 sq.ft. beach house in Little Exuma - is an oceanfront home with a private beach area, which is perfect for kayaking and snorkelling.

NOTE: This home no longer has two double kayaks - we have replaced the two double kayaks with 4 single kayaks (for a total of 8-10 single kayaks).

Situated with a captivating view of Little Exuma’s iconic bridge, Sunset Cove is a quintessential seaside cottage that encourages unfettered days of holiday enchantment. Its charming atmosphere is accompanied by kayaking adventures in an ecofriendly haven of saltwater biodiversity. Sunset Cove has the secret ability to convince its guests to linger longer, learn more and to savor each sunset.

The property is on the quiet side of the island in an area called the Ferry with endless stretches of clear, quiet waters. This area boasts some of the most incredible sand bars and beaches in the Bahamas. Take your entire party in our kayaks to explore the and bars and wildlife as you'll be a 15- minute kayak ride away from Moriah Cay/Harbour and the Lazy River Sand Flats. Even on windy days, the waters of the Ferry Harbour remain calm. Bring a picnic and park the kayaks on a sand bar to enjoy endless stretches of sandbars that emerge at low tide.

First time to Exuma?
You’re in for a treat! There are so many things to experience in Exuma and the Cays - there is something for everyone. Our guests’ favourites include exploring the gorgeous beaches with crystal blue water, visiting the famous swimming pigs and iguana island, swimming with sharks, sea turtles or sting rays, snorkelling, diving, fishing, kayaking, golfing at a world-class course, enjoying a beach-side picnic, indulging in fresh local seafood, and so much more!

Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide:
Upon booking, all guests automatically receive our curated Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide to help you save time planning your dream vacation. This complimentary package is carefully crafted to answer (almost!) any question you may have around planning your trip, recommended activities, restaurants, or points of interests, cost expectations, and the island in general.

Customer Service:
By booking an Exuma Exclusives home, you can be confident you’ll receive the highest level of customer service before, during, and after your trip to Exuma. Our expert local property management teams can assist you with any aspects of your stay including, but not limited to: grocery delivery, chefs and local caterers, rental vehicles, excursions (such as visiting the swimming pigs!), babysitting services, fishing recommendations, and any other local recommendations or assistance you need. They have a wealth of knowledge about the island and are committed to ensuring you enjoy all Exuma has to offer - hassle free.

Important things to know when planning a trip to Exuma:
- Renting a car is highly recommended. Almost all of our guests rent cars for the duration of their stay and it is the best and easiest way to explore the island. Additionally, Exuma is unlike other islands - golf carts are not a typical form of transport on the main roads.
- Protect yourself from the unpredictable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip that protects against any unexpected travel disruptions or delays. We’d be happy to recommend specific providers.
- Thinking of a boat rental? Boat rentals on Exuma are typically daily rentals only (no overnights). Therefore, it may not be necessary to pick your house based on the presence of a dock. If you’re bringing your own boat and your property doesn’t have a dock, please identify your closest Marina (beginning of description).
- Plan ahead: Restaurant reservations are recommended for peak seasons, particularly for large groups!

Other Rules:
No parties. No exceeding guest count on property. Minimum 7-night stay over peak or holiday seasons and/or weekend to weekend bookings. Christmas (night of the 25th) and New Years Eve (night of the 31st) cannot be booked together, except for stays of 14 nights or longer. Instant bookings are subject to 24-hour review to ensure adherence to house rules. Note: A 1% non-refundable processing / administrative fee will be due for all cancellations. If rebooking to future dates, this fee will be waived.

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.

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.

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

Gorgeous, peaceful location with so much to do
The house was perfect for our family! The house is well equipped with everything you need inside and decorated beautifully. The pictures of the surrounding area do it no justice! Its one of the most beautiful locations I've ever stayed. We debated as a family whether it would have been better to be right on a major beach or in this house and we all agreed that this house was way better. You can drive to many beaches within 5-10 minutes. But if you stayed there you would never venture out on the kayaks to explore the lazy river (a huge favorite with us) and all the amazing natural wonders. We saw turtles, sharks, rays and dolphins while kayaking! We will definitely be going back!

Sunset Cove
Adorable home. Beds super comfortable. Kitchen conveniences of home so we were able to cook most meals. Thank goodness for airport concierge who was able to reach out to our house manager, Judy, once we landed. We didn’t even think that we wouldn’t have WiFi at airport to text. Judy was very helpful and attentive. Kayaking was great on the calmer days especially when the wind shifted and pushed us home. The only stressor was we lost all power on our last day and unable to reach anyone about it. We weren’t able to wash the towels or run water or flush toilets. So that was a bummer on our last day. Once I was able to get a text through to Judy, she said she knew and was ok with everything. Santana’s was AMAZING! Tropic of Cancer beach was another gorgeous spot to spend the sunny days. Definitely recommend renting a car and Judy will hook you up with that too.
