I COULD GO ON AND ON, WE ENJOYED OUR STAY AT THATCH BAY COTTAGE MORE THAT I EVER DREAMED WE WOULD. OUR FIRST TRIP TO EXUMA AND IT WILL NOT BE OUR LAST. IT WAS JUST MY HUSBAND AND I. THE HOUSE WAS GORGEOUS, WE ENJOYED THE PORCH SO MUCH, THE BEACH WAS GREAT, WE SNORKLED AND FOUND SEVERAL STAR FISH RIGHT OUT OUR BACK DOOR, WALKED THE BEACH MANY TIMES, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SUN RISES, THE HOUSE WAS VERY WELL FURNISHED, THE OWNERS HAVE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING, IF YOU NEED IT, THEY'VE GOT IT THERE FOR YOU FROM COOLERS TO SNORKEL GEAR, BEACH CHAIRS, FLOATS, BEACH TOWELS, ETC. WONDERFUL COMMUNICATION AND A TERRIFIC GUIDE TO EXUMA IS PROVIDED! WE CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK! WE LOVED THE SECLUSION OF LITTLE EXUMA!

This off the grid vacation is not for everyone.

This is our third trip to Exuma. We decided to stay somewhere new this time, and decided to try Little Exuma. Thatch Bay was perfect! Beautiful home and location! Beach all to ourselves - didn't see another person while we were there. Total relaxation! The beaches on Little Exuma are perfect (and I think better than great exuma). Its a bit of a hike to get back to Georgetown, but that is to be expected for the privacy we had and was not a concern whatsoever for us. Clean home, well appointed, great communication with the owners. We will be back! Thank you!

Thatch Bay Cottage is a beautiful home with modern amenities. The patio and views can't be beat. Everything you need just outside your door - turquoise water, snorkeling, starfish and soft white sand. Easy to have groceries delivered and enjoy Santanna's just down the road. We had an amazing stay - thank you!

My family and I just spent a wonderful week at Thatch Bay Cottage in Exuma. Simply put, the house is amazing. It truly has everything you can ask for in a relaxing beach getaway. The house was immaculately clean and organized. The layout is very open and spacious, with stunning views of the bluest water you'll ever see! We spent a lot of time relaxing and taking in the breeze and views from the wraparound porch. The garage is loaded with all sorts of beach and water toys and the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with all the accessories you'd find at home. The location of the house offers so much privacy (we ran into the neighbors staying at the pink house up the road only a couple of times over the course of the week). We felt very safe throughout our stay and the locals from the nearby restaurants and businesses were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you to Che and Glen for being such gracious hosts. They are extremely helpful and thoughtful and provide a wonderful guide book on the house and Exuma as a whole. Esther, the property manager, was very kind, attentive and helpful. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Thatch Bay Cottage and highly recommend this property. We look forward to spending another week in paradise in the future.

This home is amazing and..... the view!!! The home is very private and very well stocked. It offers you the use of their kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, chairs, and so much more. We enjoyed traveling the island and exploring the different beaches. Tropic of Cancer and Forbes Hill beach are very close by. It was always so nice to return at the end of the day and be able to enjoy the amenities of the house.

This home can not be beat! The gorgeous views, private beach, wrap around porch....
We will definitely be returning to this beautiful home.
My only suggestion is to be sure you have everything you need groceries/basics before you head to the home. It is pretty far east/south, so you have a good drive to go back into Georgetown.
Definitely go visit Tropic of Cancer beach...beautiful!
Chef Anne prepared a meal for us and it was amazing.
Can not wait to return to Thatch Bay!

Short and sweet. Esther, the local property contact, and her sweet family are amazing. Extremely helpful. The property is beautiful. The home is meticulously maintained. Incredible location - because it's so remote. No one for miles either way on the beach, usually. We will be back for sure

Beautiful house in an idyllic setting. Paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling gear are all top quality. Esther, the house manager, was very responsive to all of our questions. We will miss our morning swims in the ocean.

I love Exuma, this was my third visit to the Island and my first at Thatch Bay Cottage. The house is in my favorite part of the island and was perfect. I could not have asked for anything better. Beautiful home, clean and with everything I could possibly have wanted.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. We will definitely be back ❤️

We recently stayed at the Thatch Bay Cottage and can't wait to return. The house exceeded all of our expectations. Communication with the owner's and property manager was great from the time we booked through our last day. The house is very secluded, which is perfect for what we were looking for.

My family and I visited Exuma mid March and stayed at Thatch Bay Cottage - glad we did! It is a beautiful, well kept, clean, comfortable home with great views and amenities. The communication before our visit and during our stay was impressive. They do provide a guide to Exuma that helped with our decision making. We would highly recommend this property to anybody making a visit to the island.

First of all the owners are really easy to communicate with. They have all the bases covered with an incredibly useful stay guide. The cottage is a private getaway on the South side of Little Exuma. We rarely felt the desire to leave Little Exuma except when we ran out of booze. The pink house is your closest neighbor but not at all too close. Sunrise off the water into the main bedroom was gorgeous. If you want to sleep in bring eye masks as the room gets lit with beautiful sunlight. The sunsets were amazing from the other side of the deck while grilling. You’ll most definitely want to go to Tropic of Cancer beach (beach side grill and cocktails), the Turtle Pond restaurant (Chef Ann is a new friend and will cook in the cottage), Tropic Breeze (the chef is also a new friend) and Santana’s (get the cracked conch). Lastly hook up with Capt Theo for a private book trip. He will cater to what you want to do. We were not interested in the hogs, iguanas, or nursesharks. So we snorkeled a beautiful healthy coral reef. Then went to the sandbar and starfish bay. We Had lunch on Stocking Island at Chat n Chill. We finished our trip swimming with the most beautiful group of green turtles who would almost come up and hug you with their fins.
If you’re not necessarily a “all inclusive resort” type then this is the place for you. I hope you enjoy this paradise as much as we did.

The house was very clean, especially for caribbean standards. The owner and property manager were wonderful at checking in to see if there was anything we needed. The house has 3 good sized bedrooms and a nice open floorplan for the kitchen/ dinning/ living area which was great! We traveled with our 2 year old and the everything was very safe and secure and the beach was nice and flat. Would definatly recomend the property!

Spectacular!
Thatch Bay Cottage was wonderful. Absolutely beautiful home base, comfortable and very clean. We had two days of bad weather and all five of us commented how nice it was to be stuck in such a comfortable and lovely home. This was our first trip to Exuma and we loved it. The beaches are incredible as was the beach/water right in front of the cottage which we also enjoyed immensely. Our original flight was cancelled so we arrived a day late. Che and Glen were excellent to communicate with the entire time; timely/compassionate. Esther the property manager was great as well. We would definitely go back!

A Slice of Paradise
If you're on the fence about booking this house for your vacation - don't hesitate and reserve it now!
Our family of five had the most relaxing week at Thatch Bay Cottage. We were blown away when we walked up the steps to the house and saw the beautiful panoramic windows out to the ocean. The house had everything to make our stay comfortable. It's clear Che and Glen put a lot of thought into the decor of the house and ensuring it had everything to make it feel like home.
The house was spotless when we arrived and beds were comfortable. We took advantage of the two paddle boards and two kayaks - as well as the beach chairs, umbrellas and floats. Make sure you explore the different beaches around Little Exuma. We loved brining the chairs and floats to Tropic of Cancer Beach.
The house book and PDF version that Che and Glen sent over was really helpful. We booked our car with Thompsons Rentals (very easy pickup and return), boat rental from Minn's, and used Chef Anne for a private dinner at the house.
A huge thank you to Esther, the Property Manager. She was extremely responsive to our questions during the stay, and even helped us secure a new boat rental when our original was canceled.
Again, I can't reiterate how great our vacation was at Thatch Bay Cottage. Our memories here will last a lifetime.

I have been to Exuma many, many, many times and know what you need to have it all during your stay - thatch bay cottage has it all. Location, location, location. Situated on a private, shallow and beautiful beach - the views and sunsets are stunning. Che and Glen thought of everything - so the deck is an incredible place for morning coffee, daytime sunning, romantic dinners or dinners with a big group of friends. And the stars at night. Wow. You are located between Tropic of Cancer beach and Santanas which are both must do’s if coming to exuma. Stop at the grocery store before heading to the house - and get all the foods you like to make because the house has a great grill and incredible kitchen with all things. Or have chef Anne come cook dinner for you. Amazing.
For the water- Floaties, paddle boards, kayaks, water shoes - they have it all for your convenience. The inside of the cottage is sparkling clean and aesthetically top notch for those design snobs out there (hi). It’s perfect. I slept great and loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Everything you need in a house is there. We loved every minute of our stay. Would recommend it to even the most discerning traveler. Top notch.

Remote Paradise
We absolutely loved this house! We traveled with our two teen sons so the three bedrooms were perfect size for us to spread out. The house has everything you could need! Full kitchen, kayaks, beach chairs & even a cooler for the beach:) we enjoyed being on our own private beach as the house is about 30min from Georgetown so you just need to plan accordingly. Plenty to do on this end of the island. The wrap around porch paired with all the modern comforts is just what we needed. Can’t wait to return someday:) thank you for sharing this paradise with us! Merry Christmas 🎄

Cozy Cottage with AMAZING views!
Prefect Beach Cottage! really well thought out home, love the porch and all the windows maximizing the amazing views! My family was really comfortable staying here, we would come home from our excursions and immediately go back into the what felt like our own private beach/ocean or spend the evening on the porch listening to the waves crash. We made use of the well stocked kitchen several times due to the location of the home being on little Exuma and most beach restaurants closing early. Which was no big deal, I just recommend planning ahead.
Thank you for sharing your property with us.

The incredible ThatchBay Cottage
We were looking to spend another week in the Exumas after our first time in 2017 and this property made our stay the best yet. It has gorgeous morning and evening views right off the spacious wrap around porch. This home has all the amenities you would need for a week's stay and I cannot recall any issues or complaints. The water on the beach side is shallow and warm with small coral reefs up and down the coastline. Bring your snorkel set or use the 2 provided at the house. We found early to mid-afternoons out there to be the best as the tide runs out. Check out the nurse sharks that hug the coastline twice per day. Also, if you are into seclusion, this house is perfect.
Although it is situated well south of the island, it is an easy drive pretty much anywhere you wish to go. The proximity to Tropic of Cancer beach is excellent and why we chose this property. To me, its one of the most stunning beaches I have ever seen.
The house manager, Esther, was very welcoming and helpful before and during our stay. We were arriving on a holiday and stores were closed. Esther made that apparent to us and offered to pick up groceries for when we arrived. We spent a couple of days in a Boston Wailer rented at Minn's (reserve well in advance) in Georgetown and a day with Sugar Adventures way north of the island. I must say that after all our excursions last week, ThatchBay Cottage was just wonderful to come home to at the end of the day, relax on the Adirondack chairs, and simply breathe in the Bahamas.
Trust me, we did not want to leave. Many thanks to Che and Glen for allowing us to enjoy your magnificent beach home.

It was a DREAM! May 22, 2021
Thatch Bay was absolutely amazing! It was like a Dream! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was amazing, we were sad to leave. From the breathtaking beautiful views to the most relaxing sound you can hear of the ocean. This home was incredible, beautiful and very clean! I recommend it 110%! Property manager Esther was great and very attentive. She followed up frequently and assisted with all our questions throughout our stay, Thank you Esther! If you are looking for privacy, serenity, relaxation and family time, this is the place. We would definitely choose this home to come back to again! Thank you Che and Glen for sharing your beautiful home with us!
