Home away from home!

What a beautiful & cozy place! We loved everything about Brett & Heather’s place. The house is very clean. We arrived for the last part of our trip. As soon as we walked in the door we felt like we were back at home. Our favorite part of the place was how close the beach was…100 steps and you’re there! We spent our last day enjoying the beach while the kiddos played in the water. We only saw 2 other people the whole time we were there. The kids enjoyed the beach toys & the 2 way radios definitely came in handy. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Brett & Heather!

Great Stay at Canuck Palms

The house was very clean and neat and had a great Bahamas vibe. The check-in process was super easy and communication with the owners was very clear and precise. We enjoyed the easy and short walk to what felt like our own private beach and spent a lot of time there.

Great house in a great location!!!

Really enjoyed our stay and exploring all the Exumas have to offer. The house was a short walk to a mostly private beach. We had everything that we needed for cooking and going to the beach. Owners easy to get in touch with and fixed one issue right away.

Perfect getaway

This home was absolutely perfect! We came to Exuma with another couple to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We picked this house because it had two king beds, excellent reviews, and was centrally located to everything. We loved everything about it and hope to come back!!

Cozy accommodations

This place has all the comforts of home and is just a short drive from the airport, and about half distance from "both ends" of the island. Just across the road is the ocean and a very nice beach but not sure if it is actually accessible w/o passing thru the resident's property (whom we were vacationing with, so wasnt an issue for us). Property was clean, comfortable and just as described.

Beautiful Home in Paradise

My friend Danielle and I stayed at this beautiful home for five nights. It was absolutely perfect, clean and had all the amenities a five star resort would offer. The King beds were super comfortable, Linens and robes were provided and we were a two min walk to the beach! Heather was super helpful and answered any questions we had, gave suggestions on places to eat and things to do. I highly recommend this property and I will be sure to recommend it to all my friends.

Better than advertised. Perfect private getaway spot.

Everything that the add listed was there and more. Private, very clean, and everything we needed and many things that we didn’t need but we’re there in case (full kitchen). Owners responded to any questions very quickly. Check in was simple and easy. 2 min walk to beach that had no other people during our stay. Right in the middle of the island, 5 mins from the airport. Clean towels and bedding. We will definitely be booking again next year. Highly reccomend!!!

Excellent Home

Brett and Heather were very responsive to any follow-up questions we had. The check-in process was very easy. The home is exactly as the photos depict. Spotlessly clean, bright, large rooms, cozy beds. They have thought of almost anything someone may need. You could literally come here without packing anything and have what you need. They have set the bar very high for other VRBO properties. We have stayed three different places in Exuma and by far this has been the best property. Very close to a quiet beach with a scenic walk. When we come back we will certainly choose Canuck Palms. We cannot recommend their home enough. Thank you so much Brett and Heather. Your home helped make an already perfect island vacation that much better.

Travelling with children

We just got back from our week long stay at Canuck Palms with our two kids aged 2 1/2 years and 7 months. The accommodations were spotless on arrival and it was stocked with all the equipment you need to enjoy your vacation (including many supplies for kids!). It was great to have access to both a pack n’play and high chair which meant less packing for us and we were pleasantly surprised to also find children’s beach toys and books! The beach was a short walk from the house (not suitable terrain for a stroller but it was so close we didn’t need one) and we often had it completely to ourselves. During our stay the water at the beach was a bit rough and not suitable for swimming with small children but we enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the waves. The house was conveniently located (15-20 min drive) to tons of amazing beaches with shallow calm water for swimming. There were many options close by for food, groceries and gas! We felt very safe in the area and were surrounded by friendly neighbours but had tons of privacy on the property itself. Brett and Heather were EXTREMELY responsive both leading up with the trip and during our stay (they usually responded in under 5 mins!). We did lose power quite a few times during our stay (often for about 30 mins, sometimes longer) and they were quick to keep us updated. This is something to consider when travelling with kids who are on a meal/nap schedule. This is truly a turn key vacation spot and we can’t wait to return!

Perfection!

My husband and I have been to Exuma before and rented a different house, but decided to try Canuck palms being it was a little smaller and came with more, and it was perfect! The directions to the house were so detailed and spot on, and being minutes from the airport we found the house less then an hour after we got off the plane. Loved having the key lock outside, so when you left you knew you would be able to get back in! The house itself was SUPER clean and wasn't lacking in anything necessary to enjoy your stay! The outdoor shower was used well to get the day's sand and stickiness off of us! Great feature to the house! The only complaint I could think of was the sofa in the living room tried to swallow my husband the first day, but made for good teasing the rest of the trip! I won't go on about what to do on the island, because all the research in the world will tell you about how perfect this gem of an island is, but Jim and I will definitely be back, and will have no hesitation to stay here again! PS- when you do stay here- take a night, load yourself with bugspray, turn off all the lights and sit outside on the deck and look up. The amount of stars and satellites above you are astonishingly beautiful and plentiful!!! We stayed out there for at least an hour several times!!!

Great little villa for private relaxation

My wife and I were here in February 2017. We didn't want to pay for Sandals but wanted to be on Exuma. This villa was perfect. Two bedrooms were large, central AC in the house worked well. The wifi was good. We only used the TV for a little bit of superbowl watching. The kitchen is well equipped. A decent grocery store is in Georgetown "Exuma Market". We made egg sandwiches for breakfast every day and had some snacks and lunch meat for beach days. There is a liquor store just north about 200 yards on the main road. They had a great selection of quality snorkel gear and had four beach chairs as well. The outdoor shower was a nice touch. The back deck is very private as well. Great place to lounge and listen to the waves. You can walk to a beach in about three minutes out the back door that was deserted. For navigation, have Google maps on your phone. The GPS will move your dot around the island on the map for you even without cell data. Search for destination on Wifi. Highly recommend going to "Cocoplum beach" at low tide. From the house, turn right onto the main road and drive about 15 minutes. You'll see a place on the left with three roads splitting and keep going straight another minute or so. There's a large blue rectangular trash container and turn right here. Half mile up is the beach on a rocky road. Incredible sand bars, sand dollars, and completed deserted. Also a trip to Little Exuma is worth it for part of a day. Tropic of Cancer beach and the two just north of it along the coast are amazing. Restaurants are slim on the island. Catch a Fire is decent and a good place for a sunset. There is a community of shacks just north of Georgetown that will cook freshly caught fish and is worth checking out. "February point" had a nice restaurant as well. We went there at 11:45a in the car and got to lounge by their pool while waiting for the restaurant to open at noon. Also free Wifi. We did a boat tour with "Four C's Adventures" that was $180 for full day. It included the thunderball grotto, swim with pigs, iguanas, sight seeing private islands and a nice sandbar stop. The marina is off one of the splits in the road to the north. If you like to truly get away and relax in an incredible private setting, this villa on Exuma is for you. If you need to be waited on and lounge by the pool for a week and miss all the incredible sites, then go to Sandals. You CAN bring drones to the island but you have to apply for a permit online before.
