Vacation Homes in Long Island

"Jack’s Shipwrecked House was a truly unique stay in a perfect, right-on-the-water location for our family of four. We loved the dock and swings, and using the kayaks to paddle over to the sandbar in the evenings was a highlight. Everything we needed was provided, and the host was very helpful, sharing lots of useful info throughout our stay. We’d definitely stay again!"

"Beautiful location. The resort schedules your trip to and from the airport for you, which makes that part easy. After arrival getting to and from George Town requires some coordination with the water taxi. To get to the beaches on Stocking Island without a boat there are several trails. The trails are not always well marked but fortunately the whole island has cell coverage so you have GPS. The beaches are beautiful, pristine, and you’ll often have them to yourself. It’s a bit rustic but if you don’t mind that you’ll be well rewarded. The staff at the resort are very friendly and helpful. The food at the resort restaurant is quite good, though the included breakfast buffet is mainly toast and cold lunchmeat. I ordered breakfast off the menu most of the time. They have a nice happy hour from 3-5 with much of the menu half off. There’s also a few beach bars on the island accessible by trail or boat with food and drink. The food at Chat n’ Chill is great. The frozen Aperol Spritz at the Coconut Club is refreshing after a hike through the bush in the tropical sun."

"What a wonderful stay at Blue Hues! From initial booking to our last day this trip was a breeze thanks to Rick. Amazing host and an even more amazing home. Breathtaking views, exceptionally clean home and what feels like your own private oasis - our group of 6 ranged from 3-77 and a fantastic time was had by all."

"I was told visiting this house would be like living in a screensaver...they were right. This place is magical. From the lazy river sand bar to the rocking chairs on the patio watching the turtles swim by, it was the most magical vacation we have had. I didn't know this beauty existed. If you want the perfect place to escape and see the most amazing place in a stunning home this is it. Somehow the owners managed to design a home where every bedroom and every window in the living areas all look at the ocean. Cannot say enough about the beauty of this home and location. I want to move here! We will be back."

"The views around the island including the hideaways was just amazing, great staff and clean rooms. "

"Here’s a polished version that keeps your tone but tightens it up and smooths the flow:We loved our 6-night stay at this magical beachfront property in Exuma. The home had every amenity we could possibly need, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cookware and utensils. Everything was immaculate, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. One of our favorite things was being able to relax on the couch with a book while looking out at the ocean.We spent most of our time outdoors, enjoying the crystal-clear blue water and taking the kayaks out each day. One morning, we even spotted a turtle, which was such a special experience.Jack was extremely helpful and provided great recommendations and information throughout our stay. He was a gracious host, and his manager, Kay, made arrival seamless by helping us get checked in and stocking the house with groceries ahead of time—it made settling in so easy.We would absolutely stay at Two Turtles again on our next trip to this beautiful, turquoise-water island."

"Villa was spacious, beds super comfortable. View was beautiful and the beach is stunning. Great location. "

"Baywatch Cottage – Long Island, Bahamas April 2–10An outstanding stay from start to finish. Debbie and Phillip are exceptional hosts. They met us at Stella Maris Airport and escorted us directly to the cottage. Cozy, comfortable, and right on the bay, Baywatch delivers exactly what you're looking for if you want to unplug and recharge.Long Island itself is a gem. Up north: the Columbus Monument, the stunning beach at Cape Santa Maria, and rum punches with Shawn at the Busted Bridge. Down south: Gordon's Settlement, another gorgeous white-sand beach with turquoise water, and great conversation (and rum punches) with Earnest, who knows this island inside and out. In between, don't miss Dean's Blue Hole, the Shrimp Hole, and stops at the Vantage Point (ask for Ash), Dapple, Tiny's, Chez Pierre (excellent meal), Harbour Club, Sou' Side, and Letta's.Bahama Mama Debbie and Phillip will take great care of you. Highly recommend."

"This is a difficult review for me to write because the host is genuinely a very kind and a lovely person, which we truly appreciated throughout our stay. The property itself is in a fantastic location, directly in front of a private beach area with access to pristine water and kayaks available for use. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and it is definitely one of the strongest points of the stay. The screened porch is also a real highlight, you can comfortably enjoy being outside without dealing with bugs, which makes it a great space to relax. However, the unit itself feels quite dated and would benefit from some renovation. The kitchen is very old, and the bathroom is in particular need of repair and updating. The description and photos online do not fully reflect the current condition of these areas. I’ve also added some pictures of the kitchen and bathroom so future guests can make a more informed decision before booking. Overall, there is a lot of potential thanks to the amazing location and outdoor spaces, but the interior would need significant updating to match expectations and fully reflect the listing."
