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

Spent a week there. Valerie is very helpful--and genuinely wants her guests to enjoy themselves. The place is well located, about 9 miles drive from Georgetown--close to the water (beautiful views), nearby beaches, and a few local restaurants. Santana's serves the best grouper : ) The pool area is peaceful. The whole place is extremely clean. Highly recommended if you... More

We stayed at Valerie's cottages during our honeymoon, and we had an amazing time! Valerie is very helpful and knowledgeable, and she went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The cottages are lovely - the one we stayed in had a view of the sea, and her property has a dock nearby, which was... More

It is with great hesitation that I write this review about this wonderful location. I only hesitate as I don't want the secret to get out as to how beautiful and relaxing the cottages are because everyone will want to go there. This was a surprise trip for my wife encompassing our anniversary, her birthday and my birthday so we... More

Our trip was about a week and we wanted to stay somewhere secluded and quiet. After reading many positive reviews of Valerie's, we were excited to stay in her cottage. As many people described, Valerie was very helpful, friendly, and respectful. She is very easy to talk to and knowledgeable about everything regarding Exuma. Her cottages were clean, homey and...

Nice accomodations, great pool for relaxing after daily activities. The kayaks were very useful, we used them frequently to access bonefish flats and mangroves and beaches for fishing, snorkeling, swimming, and nature viewing. Active outdoors enthusiasts would most appreciate the activities available. Located in a scenic, quiet, easily accessible setting. Good facilities, good non-touristy island, with plenty of outdoors activities... More

My husband and I stayed here in April 2009 and were so pleased with our decision to do so. Valerie, the owner, graciously welcomed us as soon as we drove in and was most accommodating in helping us with anything we needed. The cottages are extremely clean and comfortable, and have a beautiful view of the sea. The pool is... More

Remote and quiet. A great price. We highly recommend paddling a kayak over to Moriah Cay for a private getaway. Exuma is excellent if you want to get away from the tourist traps and crowds. If you need 4 star hotels and posh restaurants, try another destination. The beautiful water was too cool for snorkeling in late February. Valerie was... More

We were traveling with a group of students and professors who spent time at the Perry Institute for Marine Science and were looking for an affordable place to stay. Valerie's cottages were on the other end of the island and at first a little hard to find in the dark. The cottages are comfortable, clean, and peaceful. The kitchens are... More

We very much enjoyed our stay in our detached air conditioned bungalow with its homely feel.The four or five bungalows was a good number to be sociable if wanted or secluded.The pool was a good size and kyaking to the near by desserted islands was idylic. More
