Location
Located on Green Turtle Cay, you’re just a boat ride from local restaurants, beach bars, grocery stores, and beautiful beaches. There is no land access to the cottage. The ferry will drop you off right at the cottage dock. If you are not cruising, you will want to rent a small powerboat so that you can get to the shops, restaurants, resorts, and neighboring islands, or even venture out to the reef as sea conditions allow.
A Note on Updates
Shore Leave is currently undergoing thoughtful updates as we continue to enhance the space. While everything is fully functional and ready for your stay, you may notice small improvements as we work toward our vision for the cottage.
