Awesome place!

Sheri P. Huntington Beach, California
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Sunny Gecko House was awesome! Chris was wonderful to rent from and very flexible and understanding of our "standy-by" flight status, not knowing when we'd actually make it there. We were a couple families traveling together so splitting the cost of the house made it very affordable and fun to stay together rather than at a hotel. Since the Four Seasons closed a month ago the economic climate has really been impacted and things are very expensive, i.e. scuba diving, food, etc. but we were able to cook mostly at the house (and there is now a BBQ grill) The beach right out in front of the house is amazing and we rarely saw anyone else around. The weather was fantastic and very few bugs for this time of year. Renting a boat at Minn's Water Sports in George Town was our best day, snokeling and relaxing at ChatNChill is a must. Tropic of Cancer Beach is the most amazing beach with little islands that you can swim to and it's a short drive south. We found taxi rides to be very expensive ($70 2.5 miles from the airport to the house) so I'd highly recommend renting a car right from the airport. Everyone is very friendly, nice and helpful, including Antonio, the manager. I'd highly recommend the Sunny Gecko House.

Perfect Vacation Experience

MelindaS Houston, TX
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My husband, 3-year-old son, and I stayed at the Sunny Gecko house for our vacation this year and it was absolutely perfect! The house is convenienty located between the airport and George Town, far enough away from each (only a couple of miles) to feel secluded. We saw maybe 3 people on the beach the week we were there, it was very quiet and we enjoyed being right on the water. We took advantage of the house's kayaks and my son was thrilled to paddle with us on the bay in front of the home. We rented a car to get back and forth into town and also a whaler from Minn's Water Sports. We enjoyed island hopping by boat, spent lots of time at the Chat-n-Chill on Stocking Island, snorkeled the underwater cave areas, and took a short walk to the Atlantic side of Stocking Island to explore the rocky coast and look for shells. We also enjoyed dinner at the Peace and Plenty as well as the Fish Fry. My son especially enjoyed the three rays that came around frequently at the Chat-n-Chill looking for food hand outs.

For about the same price as a hotel, you get more space, amenities, and convenience for your dollar. Chris, the owner, was very helpful in answering my many questions prior to my rental of the property and before we left for our trip. Antonio, the property manager on the island, was friendly and just a phone call away. Having a full kitchen, grill, washer and dryer was wonderful since we were traveling with our young child. I highly recommend the Sunny Gecko for the perfect vacation experience for your family.

My son is still saying, "I want to go back to the other house on the tropical island!" We will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this spot for families looking for a beautiful place to get away and relax.

Picture perfect

Kaliker Reno, NV USA
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The house and location could not have been better. Crystal blue waters 20 steps from the back deck. Traveled in June so had the beach to ourselves, saw a total of 6 people on the beach and no one directly next to us. The house was nicely appointed and very clean, great set up for folks who want to get away from it all. Air conditioning was nice since it was hot and there were some bugs outside in the evening. Chat and Chill on nearby Stocking Island was great fun and the newly renovated Beach Inn was good for lunch and only about a 5 minute drive away. Traveled with wife and 9 year old daughter, both loved the house and the island. Local contact/manager was helpful and checked in to make sure we were all set. Figuring out when to come back next year!

Our winter getaway!

Nel, Bob, Penny & Linda Cape Cod and Western Massachusetts
Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Four of us (all adults) So enjoyed our two weeks at your beautiful house. We saw other houses and knew that we had one of the best on the Island. Bone fishing was the norm this time, but we girls lapped up the sunny deck and wonderful beach for walking. Hamberger Beach is a real winner along with snorkling and beach walking down island. the grocery stores were a bit expensive, but well stocked. The people were so helpful and friendly. our favoite restaurant was Coco Plums up island and a visit to the 4 Seasons for lunch was a very nice treat.( I hope more restaruants open and stay open.) Even driving on the other side of the road wasn't a problem. This year was very windy, but Stocking Island is in the lee, so we never missed a day of sunny fun. The house was very clean, well appointed, and we were spoiled with a dishwasher and washing machine. We really hope to return next year! Thank you for keeping this property well maintained! There was no grill but we made one with concrete blocks on property. Antonio checked in with us and we knew he was close by if needed. We would very much recommend this property!
Owner's Response: We have since added an outdoor gas grill. The grill runs on the small propane tanks which can be purchased at many of the stores on the island.

Sunny Gecko - What a 'GREAT' Holiday!

Jackie Anne England S/W
Review Submitted: February 8, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Firstly i'd like to say....what a beautiful part of the World!
Staying at The Sunny Gecko was everything and more than i'd expected... It's location was perfect for us to explore Great Exuma, and the smaller Islands on organised trips. The facilities provided were excellent and made our stay complete! As for the locaton...i don't think there's anything that could top, walking out of the lounge every morning with the beautiful beach of Tar Bay under my feet (my 4 yr old was in his glory). Our trip on the fly'n' fish was brill and that also goes for the food at the Chat n Chill. Can't wait to return!!!
