"Large clean quiet rooms and friendly efficient staff A bit far from town $50 each way but still recommend "

"We enjoyed our getaway. Beautiful views of bay and ocean. Our room overlooked the turquoise ocean water. What a spectacular way to wake up and fall asleep with sound and sight of waves. Staff was very kind. Family style place-don’t expect luxury here. Rooms are clean and has coffee machine with pods and mini fridge. Wonderful time to chill and let go as it’s a simple island lifestyle. Enjoyed use of kayaks exploring waters and surroundings. ."

"This was our 5th stay at the Cottages and still was a great experience! Cold AC and a comfortable clean bed, great location, friendly staff and easy access by boat or walking through shallow water or by beach to other places. Good WiFi, beach floats, great music (not too loud, either!) good food and lots of relaxation! See you next year!"

"We were looking for something simple and clean with close proximity to the beaches. This was perfect for us."

"Everything was great! Please keep in mind there might be a few things closed after cruise people leaves. They close the pools bars, some restaurants. But the hotel was amazing, the food was great and everything was really clean."

"Enjoyable stay with disappointing experience. We stayed for 3 nights in March 2026. We enjoyed many aspects of our stay. In particular, the friendly staff, and delicious food at Ma Ruby’s. But, we had a very disappointing experience with our reservation and follow- up by the hotel manager. We made our reservation on Expedia in November, 2025. We paid for our room at that time. Upon arrival in March, we were shocked when told our reservation had not been noted. Our room was not available. Fortunately we had our confirmation information from Expedia. We were given another room and told it was an upgrade. The alternate room had a location right next to our bathroom, where staff would frequently hang out and talk. It was very awkward for us. After returning home, and investigating what had occurred, I became aware that the room we were given was not an upgrade, and actually was a lower cost than the room we paid for. I regret that this issue was not addressed by the receptionist, and that we were not compensated during our visit. I communicated with the manager, Juanita, about my concerns. I apologize for not addressing them while visiting. She responded 10 days later. Her message was friendly , she addressed my issues, and offered compensation. I thanked her, and sent our payment information. I have not received the compensation or any further follow- up from the manager, however in the 30 days after my email."

"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."
