It's simple living, but it's so close to the water you feel like you're living in a houseboat. The house was very clean and very cool from air conditioning, and we had all we needed for a beautiful week. We especially appreciated Peter, the property owner, and how available he was if we had questions. He was in touch when needed, but otherwise gave us total privacy. The location is perfect for couples getaways, people who enjoy quiet, and anyone who wants to explore Little and Great Exuma. The two kayaks and paddleboard are excellent additions, and very easy to use on the calm water of Hoopers Bay. We especially enjoyed using them in the morning, while the sunrise-lit clouds were coming up over the nearby forested peninsula, and at sunset. The photos on the listing are older, and show a sea wall and porch covering that is no longer there, but in terms of beauty the spot is improved. Smitty's grocery store was well-stocked and very nearby, and the location of the cottage is central to the island, making drives to Tropic of Cancer, Coco Plum Beach, or the kayak/tour entrance to the Lazy River & Moriah Harbor National Park not too long. Georgetown and the Straw Market, as well as the airport, are short drives in either direction. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay- a cooler, beach bags, beach chairs and beach floats (we never used their chairs after trying the hammock floats!), beach towels, plus other beach amenities we didn't use. Thank you, Peter.

First time in Exuma, and this place was perfect for what GF and I needed. Location was great as a grocery store was right there, and pretty central on the island to get to all the beaches. Right on the water with a small sand beach area to yourself. Two kayaks were a nice surprise that we used on several locations. The owner did have a small rental car that met are needs, but be prepared for rough roads to the house and in other areas of the island. If we come back, we will bring our own pillows and bedding, but otherwise, for the price, not much else I could ask for. We werent there to watch tv and play on the internet (though it does have both) but to get out a explore and left happy. Owner was good with contact and helping out

This quaint little house Is located on such beautiful property back in a private cove. The house is small but has everything you need. The view from the back porch is amazing! During high tide the water surrounds the porch. You will have fish and turtles swimming right next to you. Peter was the most helpful and accommodating host we have ever had. He even has a car available to rent wih the house. I highly recommend renting Peter's house.

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful 18 day stay at Sunset Cottage. This was our second consecutive stay at Sunset Cottage and our eight consecutive year vacationing on Exuma. Needless to say, we love Exuma, and our favorite place on the island has become Hooper Bay and Sunset Cottage. As described in my review from last year ("The Best of Exuma" ), Sunset Cottage is ideal for two people, is clean and comfortable, has the most spectacular location, and is hosted by two terrific people, Peter and Rita Burrows. And for those not wishing to rent a car, the cottage is conveniently located a short, pleasant walk from two grocery stores and a liquor store. As we have explored the island on previous visits, we now prefer to spend our time relaxing at Sunset Cottage and enjoying the beach, swimming, using the kayaks and paddle boards, painting, and reading. Except for a couple of visits to see friends who were anchored off Stocking Island, we spent our entire stay at the cottage and loved every moment of it. Sunset Cottage is an ideal place for a couple to relax, spend time together, and to recharge. We absolutely love being there, are very appreciative of Peter and Rita's hospitality, and are always sad to leave. The only thing that helps leaving is knowing that we will be returning again next year. As I stated last year, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Sunset Cottage and Peter and Rita.
