Serenity and Spectacular Sunsets At Your Private Beach | Cottage in George Town
2 Bedroom Cottage in George Town
Tortuga House, located on beautiful Great Exuma in the islands of the Bahamas, is a private and picturesque cottage offering a taste of the “old time Bahamas,” the way it used to be, but with all the modern amenities you need for a relaxing and comfortable vacation. Tortuga is located on the less developed, south shore of the island (but still only about 15 minutes from town), where a “busy day” means that one or two small boats may pass by the property on their way to local fishing spots. (Don’t worry, they won’t see you in the outside shower, they’re too busy looking at the beautiful, blue water!) If the pace of life is too hectic, and you need a place to escape and get back in touch with your family, with nature and with yourself, you’ll love Tortuga!
Tortuga includes two comfortable bedrooms, a single bathroom with shower, and a comfortably furnished, open concept living room/kitchen/dining space. Our gorgeous granite table seats 5 comfortably. We have a variety of puzzles, games and books for family fun, and -- while we have deliberately not included a TV at the property -- with Starlink wifi internet access, you can stream your videos or watch our family friendly DVDs on your computer on the rare rainy day.
Listen to the waves and the breezes through our palm trees from the ocean front queen size master bedroom, while a second couple or two children enjoy their own twin bedroom (which can be converted to a king). Tortuga's kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need if you want to prepare your own meals, including a full range with double oven, full size refrigerator with ice maker, and a dishwasher. A gas grill is provided for outdoor cooking. Adjacent to the living room is a fully furnished, screened sunroom with another dining area, sofa and chairs, leading out to a nicely landscaped yard fronting two small and completely private beaches, including a gazebo and pergola with a hammock for all day relaxation. A private, outside shower is convenient for washing off the salt and sand after your day exploring the island. Lounge chairs and a 1- 2 person kayak as well as a stand up paddle board round out your options for enjoying the property.
The waters of the south side are more shallow and generally calmer than the Atlantic side of the island. Entry from our beaches is gradual and you will find that you can wade out for long distances. Snorkeling around our seawalls and along the shoreline in both directions can be fantastic during higher tides. Sitting in the gazebo, you may see a passing turtle, barracudas, rays, and sharks.
There are few places on the island like Tortuga, where you can enjoy both inspiring sunrises and incredible sunsets! Because of our location, looking off to the west at sunset, you will feel like you are at the edge of the earth, with no other houses in sight. Even our neighbors on the south side tell us that Tortuga has the best sunsets on the island! Previous guests have described their time at Tortuga as "the most relaxing vacation we've ever had." Truly a unique property to enjoy your stay on Great Exuma!
