We had a serene stay in this modern guesthouse on the water. Very clean and well maintained thanks to the caretakers, Grace and Edward. Grace is an excellent cook and she made us a some killer sandwiches for our day on the water. We rented a boat and kept her on the end of the dock. We could take the boat or our golf cart easily to the Staniel Cay YC. All around - an amazing family vacation. My only complaint was the cost of the cottage was a little pricey. I would consider another stay, but only if they come down on the cost to stay per night.

Fantastic Family Vacation

Best vacation ever!

I have been all over the world and this property is a special hideaway that will give you peace and tranquility like no other vacation locale!! There is no where in the world with more beautiful emerald green water or white sand beaches. Rob and Pam, the property caretakers, are the sweetest and most attentive that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will definitely be going back!!!

Perfect Staniel Getaway

Driftwood was perfect for our family with two kids, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents. The beach area was the best part for kids to play in the sand flats and the variety of lounge chairs was great for everyone. We enjoyed the kayaks and beach toys available and the two caretakers were beyond helpful throughout our stay. A few things to note are that the stairs inside might not be great for real young walkers (under 3ish) and the front deck outside needs shoes so you don't get splinters. The kitchen was well stocked but would be better with an assortment of spices and a decent spatula. We would definitely come again!

Third time is a Charm!

This was our third time staying in this cute little cottage. It had everything that we needed. My grandchildren ages 9, 11 and 14 enjoyed the kayaks, and discovering the marine life that would swim by. We all enjoyed watching the planes come and go. Our host Grace and Edward were always available within minutes. We also enjoy renting a boat and using the dock there at the house. It’s nice to go out each day and explore all the beautiful things. We highly recommend The Driftwood.

Great place and great people

Located on a protected inlet and private beach perfect for the kids to play and swim. A dock for a rental boat gives you access to all of the Exumas depending on your level of adventure. Modern electric, water, Wi-Fi, a/c make it like home. Larger kitchen and living area. Bedrooms are that of a cottage but completely adequate. House has a few details as all do. An ac unit that doesn’t work, but an alternate window unit was installed. Location isn’t too remote but is completely private. Caretaker close by and after a quick island tour always available. Highly recommended. We’ll be back.

Perfect Holiday Getaway at Driftwood Cottage!

We stayed at Driftwood Cottage in Staniel Cay for 8 days over Christmas, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The cottage was a cozy and comfortable retreat, perfectly situated for exploring the stunning Exumas.The host, Alexandra, went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless. She was incredibly helpful with planning and organizing beforehand and super responsive throughout our stay. When the local telco antenna went down on our first day, leaving us without WiFi, Alexandra overnighted a Starlink to ensure we stayed connected. That level of care is rare and so appreciated!The caretakers, Edward and Mary, were outstanding. They were attentive to our every need, bringing ice daily in the morning and offering help whenever we needed it. Their warmth and hospitality added so much to our stay.Exploring the surrounding islands was a highlight of our trip, and Alexandra connected us with Aaron, who rented us a dayboat in good condition. A boat is essential for making the most of Staniel Cay, and this arrangement made it easy and stress-free.Driftwood Cottage was the perfect base for our holiday adventure. Between the incredible support from Alexandra, Edward, and Mary, and the breathtaking beauty of the Exumas, this was a 10/10 experience. We can't recommend it enough!

AMAZING property!!

This property is amazing!! We booked one week (husband, two boys, 5 and 2, and myself) because of the beautiful beach area included.. and enjoyed it so much that we ended up extending our stay another week! The bay area is beautiful and perfect for exploring on kayaks which are provided. Our small boys had a blast swimming and exploring the sand bar at low tide, searching for seashells and hermit crabs, and building sandcastles on our own private beach! I really just can’t say enough about the outside area. It is a dream vacation property! The house is very comfortable and clean as well. The beds are cozy, the living area was perfect for our small family, and the kitchen had everything we needed. On top of all this, communication was excellent! The couple of things we did need, were delivered to us quickly. Aaron, the property manager, was such a help! He is very kind and informative. He helped us find a golf cart when we thought we wouldn’t because of our late booking, and showed us around the island while we waited for them to get it ready. At one point, we let the cart die by the yacht club.. We called Aaron, who was pulling in jet skis at the time, and he was there in 5 minutes to give us a ride home. The next morning, he had taken it upon himself to tow the cart back to the house to charge. He went above and beyond! Our stay at Driftwood was nothing short of perfect. We will absolutely be booking this property for future visits to our new favorite spot, Staniel Cay!
