Thatch Bay Cottage

A three-bedroom cottage set on a ridge above a secluded beach on Little Exuma, built to catch the ocean breeze and the view rather than crowd either. The wrap-around deck is the real draw — it’s where coffee, lunch, sunset, and stargazing all happen, with clear turquoise water in view the entire time. Inside, a stylish, compact layout keeps things simple: a large master suite, spacious dining both indoors and out, and an outdoor shower for coming in from the beach.

Worth knowing: exterior security cameras cover the deck, driveway, and front door (none inside or near the outdoor shower) — standard for a remote, self-check-in property, but worth flagging upfront. Holiday weeks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s) require a 7-night minimum stay. There’s no heating, a non-issue here, and a backup generator plus Starlink internet mean the occasional outage doesn’t end the trip.
