KeyLime Cottage: Beachfront vacation house, Tropic of Cancer beach, Little Exuma

Located just right of the Tropic of Cancer beach, this vacation home is a relaxing spot for families.

This recently-built house accommodates up to 4 persons and is fully equipped with everything you need.

The great room has an open concept that includes a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining space, a living room/family TV room, and half bathroom.

The beach-side bedroom (king size bed) and the garden-view bedroom (2 full size beds) are both en-suite.

All the rooms facing the beach open on to a patio that contains a dining and lounge area.

A few steps away, a gazebo overlooks the sandy and crystal clear waters.

The property also has 2 outdoor showers.

The property is located on the east end of the Tropic of Cancer beach, away from the main traffic of the beach, making it very quiet.

Kayaks and paddleboards are available if you want to explore further, and snorkeling gear will give you the opportunity to enjoy the colorful marine wildlife.

The beach is safe and quiet, perfect for swimming or sunbathing.

Great House and location
This is our second visit to Key Lime and we just love it! The house is pretty and has a nice gazebo where you can view the water and drink your coffee. Then walk down to the beach in one second. Valerie the owner makes sure you have everything you need. Perfect place to stay for a group of four or small family. You will experience the most beautiful blue water you have ever seen!

The day before we were supposed to go and stay for our eight day vacation tropical storm Debbie came through and the host refused to let us reschedule unless it was within two weeks, which we could not get the time off work and refuse to refund us our money. We would’ve been OK going in October November she stated no I think that is ridiculous to have to pay almost $7000, when an active God passes, I say shame on her and shame on Expedia. We are still fighting it.

Perfect Beach Retreat at Key Lime Cottage!
We had an absolutely delightful stay at Key Lime Cottage! The location was unbeatable - right on the beach with a fantastic covered deck overlooking the ocean. We spent countless hours relaxing there, enjoying the views and the sound of the waves. The cottage itself was charming and fit perfectly with the beach vibe. The appliances were all modern and up-to-date, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Valerie and Pierre were perfect hosts. They were incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. They made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We are already looking forward to booking another stay at Key Lime Cottage! We can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable beach getaway.

Amazing place
We loved the house and the location on the beach. The house was much more spacious than we expected given it is only two bedrooms, and the second bedroom was plenty big enough for our two teens. Tropic of Cancer Beach is beautiful, and our stay was very relaxing.

Beautiful beach and blue water
We arrived from Eleuthera for the men to go bone fishing. Which was a success for them with a few caught. The house was beautiful and modern. Learned the property was off grid with water and electricity, very interesting both worked very well. The Tropic of Cancer beach had exquisite shades of blue. The beach populated during the day but had it to ourselves in the late afternoon. The roads are not great in Little Exuma but loved Santanna’s beach bar and grill.

Best Beach on Earth
The house was perfect for our family of four (parents and 2 teenagers). The location can’t be beat - right on Tropic of Cancer beach. The house had all the amenities we needed, including a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed grilling out and also having coffee on the pavilion looking out at the most beautiful water! Great home and we would definitely stay again!

Absolutely Stunning!
Everything about this property is AMAZING!!! Valerie is very accommodating, responsive and went above and beyond for us when our flight was delayed! The beach is STUNNING! The white sand is powder soft, the water is calm, clear and the prettiest turquoise color you have ever seen. Nice snorkeling just out to the right, the paddle board was super fun to explore the 2 islands out front and there's kayaks as well. The house is updated and spotless! There's a well stocked kitchen, very nice quality linens and nice furnishings. I would recommend renting a Jeep or taller vehicle to get around because the road to Tropic of Cancer Beach is quite rough. We will hopefully get to return soon!! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Perfect Exuma Vacation
Key Lime Cottage was exactly what we expected in a beachfront property. Steps away from a beautiful beach (Tropic of Cancer Beach) with no rocks and nothing but the bluest water you’ve ever seen. Plenty of beach toys to choose from for playing in the water. In the house, there’s plenty of room for a family of four. The beds were very comfortable and the accommodations were perfect. You can easily cook every meal in the kitchen or grill outside and/or go out to eat when you want. Valerie and her husband Pierre are wonderful hosts and we certainly appreciated the hospitality!

Unbelievable!!!
This was one of the best family vacations we have experienced! Once you get to the beautiful Villa on Tropic of Cancer Beach all you need is your food provisions and your bathing suit. Snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking and literally the most beautiful beach in the world. Don’t miss stopping by the food hut located near the main beach entrance where Jackie and Sandy will serve you awesome drinks, burgers and the best hotdog ever! Great host! Great accommodations! Great setting! We hope to come back many times again!

Best WiFi we have had on Exuma
This property had the best WiFi we have had in all our stays on the Exuma Islands (satellite). Solar works reliably; water runs very slow and is sparse; we were told this would change when the new construction next door is complete. In the meantime all cooking and drinking H2O needs to be carried in and filled by hand to the refrigerator supply of filtered water. Prior guests reviews: yes, limited supply of coffee cups (4); coffee maker only makes 4 cups at a time; we could have used a 12 cup coffee maker (USA coffee drinking habits). Cameras: 1 in the garage overlooking W/D, one fish eye by weather instrumentation mounted by oceanfront cabana, one from owners house directed at rental property patio & new construction site. One on front patio covered with blue painting tape; assumed inoperable. New construction next door seems inordinately close; approximately 50% of the forward facing view towards the ocean will be obstructed. Comfortable furnishings, towels & linens are minimal; we refreshed all several times during stay. Beach is relatively uncrowded and a “10” for being picturesque.

Absolutely beautiful ocean view from gazebo. Perfect turquois waters... Friendly hosts, and always available to assist. Very clean which i LOVE! Just too many cameras for our liking. I understand why they are in place but definitely invades the privacy and reason why we got away. Felt we were being watched all the time..so rated 4 for this reason.

The cottage was really more like a home, the space was comfortable and eveything was updated with nice appliances and furniture. Pluses were the comfortable beds, the area with the folding chairs, the gazebo overlooking the ocean, the relatively private beach, the access to paddle boards, kayaks, and the beach was very walkable and scenic. Also, Valerie was wonderful and very gracious and responsive. The minuses were the bugs when the sun went down (make certain all doors are completely closed at night), the extremely bumpy roads, splinters on the deck, and there is a new house going up literally 30 feet from this house (our hosts were very gracious in scheduling workers around our time), but there will be less privacy once that house goes up. Overall, this was a very nice property, very quiet, very private, the beach was very nice, and you can snorkel right off the beach and around the islands nearby.

Amazing time!
We had an amazing time at the Key Lime cottage. It is further from town but we had the beach pretty much to ourselves and enjoyed the quiet. The home is very nice and comfortable and when we had issues (with water pressure) Valerie was there to check it out and give updates. You will want to stop in town at the market to get some groceries as you do not have many options for restaurants on that side of the island and Georgetown is a good 35 to 40 minute drive. Take lots of bug spray! We would definitely stay at this location again.
