We rented one cottage while our friends and 2 boys were in another. I echo all of the positive comments from the other reviewers! Valerie helped us out with so many things, I won't list them all to prevent her from being overloaded!!! The pool is a fabulous way to wind down after a busy day, the 2 person ocean... More

We have just returned from a week at Exuma Vacation Cottages with Valerie and it was amazing! We had fabulous weather, a wonderful host and lots of discoveries. The cottage is rustic, very clean and has all the basics one would need for an amazing week at the cottage by the ocean. The pool is refreshing after a long day... More

We rented a two-bedroom cottage for ~$130/night, with air conditioning and its own kitchen. The cottages come with access to kayaks and a pool in back as well as access to the ocean a 3-minute walk down the hill. Valerie, the owner, is a wonderful lady who made us feel welcome and offered to pick up groceries for us before... More

We very much enjoyed our stay. This self-catering cottage in a quiet location was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation. We really needed some downtime and like to spend time on the water so this fit the bill perfectly. The property is as advertised and reviewed by others so there were no surprises. The owner, Valerie (who... More

I guess there's not a whole lot I can say about Valerie's place that hasn't been said already. We had a wonderful stay and everything was just as advertised (and as we'd hoped). The location is quite a ways from George Town (the center of "action" on Great Exuma) but I'd hardly recommend using that as a consideration. Basically, on... More

I can't really add anything to the other reviews, just endorse them. What you see in the ad is what you get. The situation is idyllic, 300 feet from the water, with a veiw across to the cays. The accommodation is fairly small & basic, (but you won't be inside much) and very clean, with everything that you're likely to... More

My sister and I travelled from Australia and it was well and truly worth the trip! Exuma itself is stunning and I would highly recommend Valerie's cottages as an excellent spot from which to base your exploration of the islands. From the moment I first contacted Valerie prior to our arrival to our 5 am departure 9 days later (Valerie... More

This is the place if you are looking for a laid back place to stay away from any crowd. Valerie is a fantastic host. She picked up groceries for us prior to our arrival. The best beaches are a 10 minute kayak away. Little exuma also has great beaches. Great place for fisherman.

These cabins are not on the beach, but don't let that discourage you from staying here. We had the most incredible time and really appreciated having a quiet, out of the way location to escape to after a long day on the water or in the town of George Town, just a short drive away. You can take the kayaks... More

We just returned from a trip to Exuma, staying at Vaction Cottages in Hartswell. Val is a wonderful host with answers and suggestions that made our vacation fun. The cottage is a nice size and has most everything we needed. I loved the dock and the kayak, a number of times I walked down and saw bonefish cruising the area.... More
