Photos and Description of the Great Exuma vacation cottage rental
Studio style cottage with full kitchen, bathroom, Queen size bedroom area

'Sweet Ting' is a lovely guest cottage, situated on a 2 1/2 acre waterfront villa located in Hartswell, Exuma. The studio style cottage has a private entrance and parking area along with wrap around decking. The loft cottage, which is tiled throughout, has 15' high peaked cypress ceilings The kitchen, dining and living spaces are separated by a movable privacy screen. You have a choice of using the air-conditioning or opening up to the lovely island breezes.

At the water's edge, you will find the pristine blue-green gin-clear waters which have made Exuma the yachting capitol of the Western hemisphere. KAYAKS are available for guests, allowing exploration of sand banks of the Bahamas National Trust park at Moriah Harbour Cay which is located directly across from the property Whether you are fishing from the dock or bone-fishing on the flats, snorkeling , or swimming , it is all available by lovely meandering paths from the cottage and through the villa gardens.

The property location is directly across from the eastern end of Moriah Harbor Cay, accessible in minutes by kayaks or the 11' Boston Whaler. The bonefish flats are directly opposite the property and a few minutes more of paddling brings you to the most beautiful, pristine and quite often deserted beach for walking, running or swimming You can also grab the umbrella and some lunch and just spend the day, imagining you are on a deserted island with not a care in the world - your private oasis.

Swimming, snorkelling and fishing are just a few of the things that can be done right from the private dock

of 'Done Reach'. From the hilltop deck, you can view those who enjoy bonefishing, kiteboarding or

kayaking. The 11' Boston Whaler is conveniently located at the dock along with two kayaks. Arrangements

can be made for bonefish guides or kiteboard lessons. If you choose not to participate but to be a spectator,

pull up a deck chair and just enjoy the spectacular view.

The owner of the property welcomes any questions and is happy to be of assistance.

Will be happy to provide French or Italian speaking person with any detailed questions.

'Sweet Ting' Guest Cottage is located on a 2 1/2 acre villa which overlooks a magnificent sight of cays, ocean, wild life and lovely gardens. The guest cottage (feels like a treehouse), is perfect for young couples looking for a romantic holiday getaway or a quiet retreat from life's stress. Artists will find inspiration to write or paint. There is a wonderful view of the sea and cays from the hillside deck, available for the guests of the cottage. From the cottage, a pathway leads to the water's edge for snorkeling, swimming and kayaking or climbing into the hammock with a good book. Directly in front of the property is spectacular view of Moriah Harbor Cay, part of the Exuma land and sea park with pristine deserted beaches. Tennis, scuba diving, kiteboarding to name only a few of the activities available in Exuma. The island center, where all your shopping, banking needs will be met, is located only 9 miles from the cottage.

Other Activities: Bonefishing, snorkeling, kayaking and birdwatching are activiites that can be done right from the property. Kiteboarding is enjoyed within minutes on Moriah Harbor Cay - directly across from the property. From GeorgeTown (9 miles), you can rent a boat which will allow you to explore beautiful Elizabeth Harbor - a must see is Stocking Island, Chat n Chill and also there are some lovely reefs you will want to see.

A most memorable day trip is traveling through the Exuma chain of islands on a chartered boat. It is a fantastic day trip where you will see the swimming pigs and iguanas, swim with the sharks, snorkel Thunderball Cave and enjoy seeing the homes of the rich and famous. While there are all these various activities, some days are just made for lounging on the cottage deck,the hilltop deck, or take the path to the water's edge, where you can fish from the dock or take a snooze in the hammock. It is all available when you stay at 'Sweet Ting' Guest Cottage.

Staying at Johanna Stella's property on Exuma more than fulfilled our expectations and we had such a wonderful time that we have booked to go again next year.
Before our arrival Johanna was informative and helpful, making the booking process easy and answering all of our questions by return. She helped us to decide where to stay for our overnight stop on Nassau and was able to make suggestions for car hire companies and places to buy provisions once we arrived. Johanna is a calm and knowledgeable presence who really contributed to our stay being such a happy one. She also has three lovely animals (two dogs and a cat) who are friendly and wholly approachable; we were sad to leave them.
The house is lovely as it sits within a well-tended garden that slopes down to the sea. There were bougainvillea, hibiscus and lilies all in flower, as well as Casuarina trees which sounded very calming as the breeze blew through the branches. The views really are spectacular; try as we might, it was almost impossible to describe the blues and greens of the water as well as the Milky Bar white of the sand. Sitting in the chairs on the top deck we could watch the tides ebb and flow, and plan our kayaking trips for later in the day. Down at the jetty we could lie in the hammock or step into the clear water to watch the multitude of different fish swimming around us. Every day we would enjoy a walk along some of the tracks across the road from the house and in the afternoon we would have an adventure in the kayaks. We saw dolphins and turtles as we paddled along and liked exploring the little inlets and rocky coves. The beaches across Moriah Sound are astonishingly beautiful and the water is so clear and warm that we could spend hours swimming and snorkelling.
The cottage where we stayed was cool (ceiling fans and a/c), spacious and comfortable. The kitchen area has an excellent gas hob and a microwave which can also be used as a conventional oven; we enjoyed baking bread in it! All the necessary cooking utensils are there and we ate many happy meals either at the table inside or on the deck. Outside we were fortunate to see humming birds come to the trees close by and all manner of lizards on the balcony. The peace and tranquillity are overwhelming and it is a perfect spot to relax and think. There are useful identification books and holiday information in the living area and a television which was fun to watch when we weren't looking at the stars or sleeping!

Sweet Time at "Sweet Ting" Guest Cottage

Sweet Time at "Sweet Ting" Guest Cottage
  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 23, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
Our first visit to Exuma proved to be a very enjoyable one thanks, in large part, to our accommodations at Sweet Ting. I can't speak highly enough about Johanna, Andrew and Maureen; their gracious hospitality exceeded our expectations. Maureen provisioned the cottage with an "antipasta platter" and breakfast goodies for our first night and morning since, after a 12-hour travel day, we wouldn't have had time to do so. Without their guidance we would have never found our favorite beaches on Little Exuma (the "Fort" and Tropic of Cancer), and their recommendation to check out Santana's was spot on. We didn't dine out all that much because we enjoyed the serenity of romantic candlelight dining at Sweet Ting. When we did dine out, we generally chose Santana's. The owner, Dee, prepares your food with love and joy, and who can ask for more than a lobster lunch accompanied by an ice cold Kalik overlooking turqoise seas! "Mom's Bakery" next door was another great find; yummy bread/pastries (chocolate rum cake was my fav)! We also enjoyed the lunch buffet at Exuma Point on Sunday (long drive but fun time).

The site's photos don't do the cottage justice. Lovely landscaping and, while not a "fancy" place, the cottage is tastefully appointed and provided everything that we needed for our one-week stay to include a grill for our dinners at home, and a cooler for our beach excursions. Sweet Ting may not be for everyone as it is located about 20 minutes from the island's main town, Georgetown (you will need a rental vehicle). This did not bother us as the location meant minimal traffic noise (basically no traffic!) and very little light pollution. The stargazing from the hillside deck was incredible! We also enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck listening to all of the birds singing. The two kayaks are a great bonus; Moriah Harbor Cay is about a 20-minute paddle from the dock and you will have a beautiful beach all to yourselves! The water is so crystal clear and, I think, the snorkeling right along the rocky shore by the dock would be pretty decent. Unfortunately, we had cool and windy weather during our visit so didn't get to check that out.

We found the Bahamian people to be so friendly and welcoming, and would definitely recommend Exuma and Sweet Ting to friends. Last but not least the daily visits by Johanna's 4-legged family (Molly, Lucky & Sophie) always gave us a smile. Thank you, Johanna, for opening your home to us. Hope to see you next year!

Wonderful accommodations, clean, nicely decorated. We appreciated the comfortable chairs and bright reading lights, fully equipped kitchen, privacy and quiet area. Very little traffic on the road.
A great set up for a couple, plenty of room to spread out your stuff, store clothes, etc.
Decks outside and terraces near the water provided many seating options.
Johanna was very gracious and helpful. She answered many questions about the island, places to go, shop, etc.
The kayaking and snorkeling from the waterfront was lots of fun, when the wind allowed us to get in/on the water.
Yes, would recommend this rental to a friend.

The Perfect Spot

  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2012
  • Stayed: Apr 2012
We (my boyfriend and I) spent 5 wonderful nights here in late April. Johanna has created the perfect spot; it's extremely relaxing and very comfortable. The views from the property are (we think) unmatched in all of Exuma. It's breathtaking.

Kayaking to the beach across the water was one of our favorite activities; just the right amount of exercise while on vacation! :) The beach is gorgeous and it's amazing to walk around and not see another person for miles.

This listing and photos, as well as all the other reviews, are spot on. We enjoyed Tropic of Cancer beach and spent a great afternoon at Santana's. It's truly a special place and we hope to go back soon! There is no need to look anywhere else; you've found where you should stay!

Thank you Johanna for making us feel so welcome! Hi to Sophie, Lucky and Molly!
Owner's Response: Thank you for the positive feedback. I love hearing when my guests have enjoyed their holiday to the fullest. You have found some of Exuma's best spots. There are still some hidden treasures, so come on back! We will all be looking forward to seeing you again.

Thank you Johanna! Our vacation was five stars... you were the sixth! (Tu sai perche'.)
Our vacation in your cottage Sweet Ting was something special. Meeting you was like going back to somebody we already knew. Your descrete presence was very pleasant as was the welcome from Lucky, Sophie and Molly every time we arrived "home". We are not pet-kind-of-guys, but we loved their company.
The cottage was comfortable and perfect for us. The silence and the peace of your place were so captivating and we enjoyed so much the deck and the view that, as you know, we never went out to eat.
We went around the whole island by car and we selected our favorite spots all south of Hartswell and in Little Exuma where the most pristine and isolated beaches are. We loved the Moriah Harbor Cay National Park where we went several times with the kayaks from our cottage.
It is difficult to describe this place with words. Just... breeze, white sand, turquoise sea and... ourselves.
