About Dave
The owners are the founder and the principal of Venta Prep School in Carp, Ontario. One of the owners will celebrate her 104nd birthday soon. Then she'll be coming to Exuma to get away from the cold for a couple of weeks herself.

Why Dave chose Exuma
I've been a regular visitor to Little Exuma for over 52 years.
What makes this house unique
This home has a unique location. This is one of the very few Exuma rentals located on a paved road. Easily accessible, but still very private, right on the shore with views over the harbor and ocean clear to the horizon. From the Deck you will see some of the most spectacular sunsets imaginable. Many of the most beautiful beaches in the whole world are nearby, as close as 1/2 mile away.

Clean, comfortable, perfect location
We had the most amazing vacation!!! Dave was such a great host!!! The house was absolutely perfect for what we needed!!! Can’t wait to visit again!!!
Excellent Villa to stay
We had a great vacation in Exuma staying in Dave's place, very quiet Villa facing the water, but it's not a beach so you can't really walk into it with bare feet, Dave gave us all the info we needed, really appreciate for his help! Tips for Exuma, rent a car if you want to explorer the island, many great beaches like Tropical cancer, Cocoplum, three sisters etc. Also reserve the boat ahead from Minn's, you will have a lot of fun on the water, and go to Man-O-War sand bar, it's just amazing. Just beware the island has many small mosquitos, bring the repellent!
Great house & great view on beautiful island of Exuma
Went down for a week with my family (wife, parents & sister). We had a great time & found Dave's home to be a great spot.
The house was clean, very pretty, and had a fantastic view w/ great beaches (Forbes Hill & Tropic of Cancer) only a quick 5-10 minutes down the road on the island of Little Exuma. Georgetown was about 20-25 minutes away, airport took us about 40 mins (lots of pot holes on Queen's Highway).
Dave was great! We needed the grill set up and texted him thru VRBO, he had someone over in 15 minutes. Gave great advice on where to go and what to do (Cocoplum Beach during low tide).
We would stay here again. Only bummer was that there isn't a beach out front, its more of a lagoon so you can't walk along the beach. You will have to drive 5+ mins to a beach but the Forbes Hill beach literally had no one else there & was gorgeous (same with Tropic of Cancer, 10+ mins away).
The lagoon area & waterfront would probably be ideal & perfect for a bone fishing group. We wish we would've had our rods/reel to throw out from the backyard, still cool seeing sharks & stingrays swim around.
Thanks again Dave! Great home on a gorgeous island!
Best Vacation
Dave was great in every aspect of planning and booking our trip. House is beautiful and well maintained. Would definitely book again!
View to the flats
Ferry Side is a very nice house set up just right with four bedrooms for a group. If you are a bone fisherman this is the place for you. Just remember It's about a 20 minute drive into Georgetown but close to Little Exuma sites. Dave is very helpful and everything in the house is neat clean and works great.
Unforgettable vacations! Excellent choice!
Our family of 5 together with a friend spent 6 wonderful days at the Exumas. The “Ferry side Villa” was an excellent choice for our stay. The house is immediately after the bridge that connects Great Exuma to Little Exuma and is really close to wonderful and pristine beaches with the best sea color we had ever seen.
The house has a beautiful terrace with great water view. We enjoyed the outside grill as well as cooking and spending time at the house which is very comfortable and well equipped. We woke up and went to bed early in order to enjoy the days during winter time.
I really appreciated all the travel guides and books found in the house to learn about the Exumas, the Bahamas and the Caribbean as well as all the information provided.
We relaxed and enjoyed the different paradisiac beaches: Tropic of Cancer, Coco Plum Beach – a perfect spot for kite surfers and beautiful place to collect sand dollars- and those closer to the house. I would definitely recommend to rent a car. You will need it and it is worth to drive along the island and visit the different towns.
We tasted the Bahamian cuisine: crab salad, fish, conch fritters and rice, as well as the 2 Bahamian beers ‘’Sands’’ and ‘’Kalik’’.
We took a great tour on a motor boat that departed from Great Exuma and were able to meet the swimming pigs, rays and iguanas and visited beautiful beaches and islands. We also met people from different countries visiting the region.
People are very friendly in the island. Visitors to the islands are also very open to chat.
My last words are for Dave and his wife Lorraine. We want to thank them for their warm hospitality, all their information, tips and recommendations on best beaches, restaurants etc. They were ready to help us and answer to our questions or needs. We did as instructed in the welcome letter and bought all the groceries as soon as we left the airport. We enjoyed Lorraine’s passion with photos and had the great opportunity to spend some moments when Dave and Lorraine shared their feelings and experience of living in this distant part of the world. We will treasure this moments forever. The visit to the Exumas and the experience at the ‘’Ferry Side villa’’ wouldn’t have been the same without them! Theyhelped us not to feel so far away from home (Argentina) in these isolated isles. In sum, Unforgettable vacations! We really hope to come back soon. Ines, Carlos, Malena, Maria, Santiago and Tomas.
Map
Some of the prettiest beaches in the world are located right on Little Exuma. It's very possible to spend all day on any of several gorgeous white sand beaches within a five minute drive of the Ferry and not see another person all day. Launch a kayak or start your bonefishing adventure at the edge of the lawn. Nightlife is as close as a 1/2 mile away, or the clubs in George Town are only a 10 mile drive. The new Tropical Breeze restaurant (Great reviews) and the famous Santanna's (legendary gathering place) are just a short drive to the East.
