About this property

Historic Island Retreat on Little Exuma Island

Welcome to Turtle Creek Inn By The Sea! This is a lovely ocean view studio apartment that can be situated with either a king bed or 2 twin beds. It has a nicely appointed kitchenette with a refrigerator, toaster oven, two-burner cook top and coffee maker, and air conditioning.
The studio overlooks a garden lush with native trees, fruits and flowers which attract a wide array of birds and butterflies. The property fronts a tidal creek where we have our private dock for kayaking & paddle boarding. There is a shaded deck which has expansive views of the sea. This is a perfect spot for your morning coffee and yoga. The "lazy river" is a 20 minute paddle from our dock.
Forbes Hill beach is a 4 minute drive and Tropic of Cancer beach is a 8 minute drive from the Inn.

Activities available include world class kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, boating, and beach excursions.
We are uniquely situated in a location to offer a wide variety of kayaking terrains for all skill levels. There are numerous islands, mangrove marshes and trails surrounded by flats with crystal clear water and an abundance of marine life.
The beaches are a destination in themselves, offering an opportunity to walk, swim, picnic, play, work-out in a natural tidal current, snorkel, or just relax!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table. Housekeeping is available on request.
