Cute house, amazing location, but needs deep cleaned
This house was in an amazing location. Just a couple minutes walk from the entrance to Tropic of Cancer beach and Brea's snack shack (try the conch fritters and get some frozen drinks!). The bedding was great, and there were plentiful good quality beach towels. The layout and floor to ceiling windows made it feel amazing! Being able to do laundry was awesome. However, the most important thing to me is cleanliness and based on prior reviews I thought it would be clean. Unfortunately, I think attention to detail has been neglected and it is in need of a good deep clean, so that made it hard to relax. There were lots of cobwebs with spiders and there were roaches in the kitchen cabinets. No dishwasher and with the roaches you'll want to wash all your dishes before you use them anyway. The cabinets need a scrub both inside and out. You also can't open the sliding doors and windows for the breeze because noseeums can get through the screens, so that was a bummer, but the AC was great. With a good deep clean and some pest control I would absolutely stay here again, but until those two things are addressed I wouldn't recommend it.

Great house and great beach, but big biting bugs problem.
We wish the house listing or the communication with the owner/ manager would at least mention that this is an issue, so we can be aware and protect against it. Instead, the information sheet indicated that "if you open the sliding glass doors and leave the screens closed there is a great cross breeze". Which is what we did after we arrived, and great breeze indeed, but "almost invisible" bugs (no-see ums) got in the house through the screen mesh and ate us alive, daytime and nighttime. We didn't even know what's happening to us until on a fourth day we met a neighbor and heard for the first time of the existence of these bugs. Needless to say, the first night was the only one of good sleep, the others were marred by constant itching and biting, and we all returned home with arms and legs full of little red bites. Other than that, the owner is very prompt, the house is beautifully decorated and spacious, and the Tropic of Cancer beach is great. The road from Georgetown to Little Exuma is not perfect, but it's manageable. The portion from the Queen's Highway to the house though is in really bad shape, and it's not even paved. The good part is that it is short, maybe 2 minutes. You can make it with a sedan, but an SUV would make it easier. All in all, we had a good time, but the no-see ums really took the shine out of our joy.

Peaceful & Clean Home
We loved our stay at Tranquility Hut and absolutely fell in love with Tropic of Cancer Beach, it truly is the best beach in the area. The home was spotless and larger than we expected. Based on the description we had assumed the house would be a little closer to the beach, but it was still a very short walk. Overall a wonderful, restful stay and we would recommend it to anyone.

Perfect get away
Tranquility is a perfect get away from the busy work life. My wife and I really loved the outdoor space around the house and the breeze in the evening. We used the kayaks to get out to the islands off the beach. This house has everything you need to escape from life for a few days!

House close to the best beach in Exuma
The house was located just a couple of minutes walk away from the most beautiful beach in Exuma. We really enjoyed all of the balconies and close proximity to the beach. The owners were very responsive with any issue we encountered. The house has pretty much everything you need. It is located on a quiet side of the island so expect to drive 30 minutes each way to get to the closest grocery store and gas station. The road going to the house isn't the best (pretty bumpy) but you're only on it for a few minutes before reaching the main road. Outside of this, everything was great!

Nice home with most amenities
It’s close to the Tropic of Cancer Beach, but from what I can tell you have to drive aways to find snorkelling, if that’s of interest. There are two restaurants nearby. We tried Santanna’s and it was quite good. Very quiet!

Great Secluded Spot
Easy check in and check out process. Property was clean and as described on the listing. Be aware that, like many places on Exuma, the road to the property is a little rough. But, it’s totally worth it for the relaxing secluded location with one of the nicest beaches on the island a 2 minute walk away!

The perfect little house
This is my second stay at this property. It is the most adorable little house just a very short stroll from Tropic of Cancer beach - far enough away to be very private but just steps from the beach. The kitchen has everything you need (the hot plate, grill and toaster are perfect, you don't need an oven). The deck is lovely for afternoon novel reading reading and night-time stargazing. The hosts are extremely responsive, and Tina is nearby to help if needed. She dropped everything to take us to the airport when our rental car had a flat and the spare tire was flat as well. If you stay here, say hello to Sandy and Brea at the beach bar, and definitely go to Mom's for the coconut bread and the amazing rum cake!

Great spot on amazing beach
We were there in early March. I was there with my wife and 2 year old son. The place was great. Tropic of Cancer Beach is beautiful. The house was a one minute walk to the beach. It feels like a nice beach house. The island was quiet and perfect for spending time out on the water. When the wind is low, make sure you have the bug spray and oil on your feet, as the sand flies can get you. Great spot!

Tranqulity is stunning, beautifully designed and decorated. The view from each side of the wrap around deck is unique and breathtaking. We felt cosy and safe but also immersed in nature. But please bring bug spray. Do your research on no-see-ums. Lovely 3 minute walk to the Tropic of Cancer Beach access.

A few days of Tranquility
The property is an older home updated very nicely. It was clean and efficient. The furniture was comfortable, as was the bedding. The showers a bit small but appropriate. The Kitchen was compact and a little tricky, but we cooked anything we wanted without incidents. Loved the surrounding deck, great breeze most of the time. Had a bonus kitty cat that was the friendliest and totally fearless. We truly spent our time very comfortably, and for the price, it was a bargain. Thanks Jacquie for sharing your piece of heaven.

Absolutely wonderful property. Great location; very short walk to a fabulous beach (you can see some ocean from the porch), neighborhood felt safe. Kayaks were a lot of fun and there was a lot of ocean life to see snorkeling out front. Property manager was easy and pleasant to deal with and very prompt to reply. Five gallon water dispenser came in very handy! We would definitely stay here again.
