About this property
Historic Island Retreat on Little Exuma
Welcome to Turtle Creek Inn By The Sea! This is a lovely garden view studio apartment that has a nicely appointed kitchenette with a refrigerator, toaster oven, two-burner cook top, coffee maker, and AC.
The gardens are lush with native trees, fruits and flowers which attract a wide array of birds and butterflies. The property borders on a sweet tidal creek where we have our private dock for kayaking & paddle boarding. The "lazy river" is a 20 minute paddle from our dock.
Activities available include world class kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, boating, and beach excursions.
We are uniquely situated in a location to offer a wide variety of kayaking terrains for all skill levels. There are numerous islands, mangrove marshes and trails surrounded by flats with crystal clear water and an abundance of marine life.
The beaches are a destination in themselves, offering an opportunity to walk, swim, picnic, play, work-out in a natural tidal current, snorkel, or just relax!.
Forbes Hill beach is a 4 minute drive and Tropic of Cancer beach is a 8 minute drive from the Inn

About the host
Hosted by Ronda Good & Steve Cox
We are Steve and Ronda Cox. Our first trip to Exuma, Bahamas was in 2001. We fell in love with the incredible beauty of the sea. That feeling has not diminished after fifty or so trips to the area! The people are welcoming and the island is enjoying prosperity and peace.
It is our life's dream to now live in the Bahamas. We have built a small inn so that we may continue to share our love and knowledge of this watery wonderland and pamper our guests in a unique setting that will let adventure and extreme relaxation go hand in hand!
We have purchased a historic home in the settlement of The Ferry on the island of Little Exuma. A narrow winding road leads to our country abode. The gardens are lush with native trees, fruits and flowers. The property lies on a sweet little tidal creek that we have explored for many years and know very well.
Come to relax. Come to play hard or play easy. Come to enjoy our island hospitality!
Hope to see you SOON!
