Boutique Hotels in Exuma

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.

This house and property could not be more stunning! Our group of 14 (3 families with kids 5-15 yrs) had plenty of space and privacy for all. All 3 of the master rooms had amazing views. The showers and bathrooms are so large that multiple people could get ready for dinner each night. The pool was clean and warm, the ocean is protected in a bay, and everyone took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboard. The outside area is perfect - plenty of lounge chairs, an outdoor living space and dining area. We BBQ'd and enjoyed cocktails many evenings. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, and we were so appreciative of the spring water dispenser for drinking and making ice. All the small things (folks leaving behind extra sunscreen, bug spray, condiments) and things already well stocked in the house (toilet paper, laundry detergent, towels for bath and beach, snorkel gear) made us so much more carefree. The house is in a perfect location - easy to get to Georgetown, so many stunning beaches and other restaurants in the area (Blu was our fave). Communication with the host was great as well - we had to book an unforeseen last night as our flight got cancelled and luckily the home was available to extend our stay. We've stayed in hundreds of homes throughout many years of travel - this was the best one by far! Don't hesitate - book this once in a lifetime home. And if they ever sell - we want to buy it :)
