Location: Staniel Cay, Exuma Cays, The Exumas, Bahamas, Caribbean
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 5-6)
Serenity Cottage is a round design with a huge wrap-around deck for enjoying a nap in the hammock, watching the many yachts go by, or catching the "green flash" as the sun sets into the sea. In addition to the full bath inside, guests havean outside shower on a lower deck. Snorkeling gear and beach towels are included. This small island in the middle of the Exumas has world-class snorkeling and diving, a small native village of about 100 friendly people, two great restaurants, an oceanside hiking path...it's a place where people return year after year once they "discover" Staniel Cay. The owner's home, Retreat, the two-story building next to the cottage, is available on occasion for larger family groups (up to 10 people) who would like both the cottage and the house. Retreat has three bedrooms, three baths, laundry, living room, dining area and full kitchen with dishwasher.
Staniel Cay is a small island, where golf carts are "cars." Everything is within walking distance, but a golf cart is recommended, especially for visiting restaurants at night. Thunderball Grotto, where James Bond movies and others were filmed, is right in front of Serenity Cottage...swim in at slack tide and be one with the fish. There are beaches all over the island and in the area, where many islands are totally deserted. Staniel Cay is probably the best kept secret in the Bahamas...because it is so small, not many visitors hear about it. Those who do consider it "their island." The friendly people, good service and tropical atmosphere make it the perfect vacation spot. Air service from Fort Lauderdale and Nassau makes it easy to get to Staniel Cay.
By small boat (optional at Serenity) guests can visit the famous "swimming pigs beach" on Big Marjor's Spot, the protected iquana beaches at Bitter Guana, and the "pet" sharks at Compass Cay, all nearby. Have a picnic on a deserted island or beach or visit the neighboring native community on Black Point. Or...watch the world go by relaxing on Serenity's deck. Whatever you do, your memories will last forever.
