"Second time here. We really enjoyed it"

"We throughly enjoyed our stay here! The location is a little remote although the proximity to one of the best beaches is ideal! We did not do enough meal planning ahead of time (our fault). The grocery stores or restaurants are not going to be what you are used to in the US. Supplies are limited and restaurants will straight up close when they are out of supplies. Having a teenager with a protein oriented diet and another one with a gluten allergy presented its issues. There is a grill on property but we found out the hard way, no gas.I read some other reviews about the lack of seating. We only had 3 travelers so it wasn't a big deal for us but with any more than 3 there is no dining table, only a love seat to sit in downstairs plus 4 barstools that are not in great condition. I guess you could pull in some of the fantastic beach chairs from the shed if you needed a seat but I can see why it could be a problem.We did everything we could, the travel time to Exuma Water Sports is 1 hour plus. Totally worth it though, swimming with the pigs and the half day tour was awesome. Rent a boat at Mimm's for a day, it was the best. We rented a Jeep from New Berlies as a suggestion from the owner and it was perfect. Took the top off to tool around on the one day it was windy while we were there. Also, the close proximity to the great beach caused us one minor issue, all the beach guests filled up our trash can with all their trash (not a house issue at all!)"

"We were looking for an uncrowded, quiet and quaint lodging option. Wonderful staff, beautiful walks on the beach, incredible room views and the Blue Conch restaurant is delicious. Recommend a car to explore island. Staff arranged taxi to GGT and Emerald Bay Marina. Highly recommend if you are NOT looking for big resort vibe."

"The homes location is close to George Town , yet has the feeling of being a private island, with nearly a soul in sight for the days we were here. The house itself was clean and well equipped for our family of 4. The views were spectacular. The waterfront was perfect for kids. Bambi and Doug were great hosts. "

"great property! Staff were super nice and helped us book our full day excursion to the pigs, sharks, sandbar, and more. Having the splash bar restaurant on site was great to come back and end the day conviently and uniquely for dinner. beach side cottage was great, although we only had a partial ocean view and if I were to book again I might choose the more affordable cottages on the other side of the street.

"If you’re daydreaming about ditching crowds for empty beaches and that crazy blue water you see in postcards, Stocking Island in the Exumas is your spot. And trust me, you’ve gotta check out Saint Francis Resort. Picture this: You walk into your room, fling open the balcony doors, and BAM—the ocean slaps you in the face (in the best way). Miles of perfect sand, zero people. They’ll even boat you to secret mini-islands where it’s just you, some coconuts, and maybe a curious seagull. Swim with pigs? Check. Glide with stingrays? Yep. Watch your kids lose their minds over starfish and sand dollars? Absolutely. It’s like someone dumped a NatGeo documentary into your vacation. Pro tip: Bring waterproof phone cases. Your Instagram will thank you. Leslie picks me up from the airport. Then Chacho zooms me across water so clear you’ll question reality. Desmond hands me a rum punch before you even say "hello." Chef PG is a wizard. His mahi-mahi?Tastes like he caught it that morning (he probably did). Lobster so juicy you’ll lick the plate. And that conch salad? You’ll try to recreate it at home and fail miserably. Eat it every day—it’s the law. Mr Wang and Marie? Legends. Want a private beach dinner? Done. Kid wants to fish at sunrise? They’ll find a rod. This isn’t just a trip—it’s the story you’ll annoy friends with for years."
