We'll be back!!
Unfortunately, we were unable to make the trip this time. We had to dodge Hurricane Milton at first, then an emergency that came up hours before our rescheduled flight and we had to miss our Fall visit. Fina was ever so accommodating, understanding and wonderful as usual!!! She is an outstanding hostess and we can't wait until May to visit again for our third stay at Seabiscuit. It is such a phenomenal cottage and location loaded with everything we need to create a magical vacation!! Thank you Fina, so much, and we will see you in May, or maybe before!! Hugs to the pups!!!!!!!

Amazing little cottage with everything right in your backyard
Some friends of ours had stayed at Seabiscuit the year prior and recommended it to us as an “off the beaten path” place to stay on the island. Were the type of family that is active and enjoys all things water sports, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling etc. Fina’s place has it all, right in your backyard. We felt as if we discovered a very small percentage of the island as we beach hopped some and went over to Stocking Island to the Chat & Chill (highly recommended) but we Wilmer didn’t have to leave the house. We’re a family of four with a 9yr old and a teenager but found the small cottage super comfortable and tons of “living space” to have some alone time if need be. Fina was very responsive and helpful throughout the duration of our stay. The property and views are breathtakingly beautiful with countless options for those who love to fish, snorkel, kayak, swim or just sit and relax on a dock and dive into a book. We will definitely be back!

A gem of a cottage
This is a cute little cottage with an absolutely gorgeous view & access to shallow water 2-4 feet when tides out! Owner has snorkel equipment, kayaks, floats and other supplies for enjoying the water! It’s a bit of an inconvenience to run to the grocery so bring your own food. Kitchen is fairly stocked w most things needed to prepare food. We loved the dock, especially at night when star gazing was great! The visiting dogs are a fun addition! Host is very attentive.

Our Second Visit to Paradise
This was our second visit to Seabiscuit. We didn't think it could get any better, but this time we met the owner, Fina, who is so welcoming, kind and a gem of a host!! We spent lots of time at the cottage swimming, enjoying the covered porch, laying in the hammock and sunbathing on the sundeck. The sunsets are some of the most beautiful we have ever seen!! The cottage is perfect for us providing everything we need, and more, to make our vacation comfortable and special!! We have our third stay already planned. Thank you again Fina, for sharing your slice of paradise with us!!

Amazing dock and views!
What a beautiful piece of paradise. Fina was very responsive to any questions or issues we had. House was clean and well stocked. Air conditioning worked very well. Loved having a washer and dryer. The view from the Large dock is MAGICAL! Fina surprised us and had a Pool set up on the dock for my kids ( 2 and 4 yr old) which they loved!! Ty for that Fina! We had fun w the kayaks and paddleboards. No seeums were a pain per usual but that was expected. Lots of little critters but such is island life. There was construction happening next door but we were gone exploring for most of our stay so it wasn't a huge deal for us. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Excellent stay. It really is a special spot, Fina. Every time I looked out the deck towards the water…peaceful. Having access to the waterfront was really great. Kayaking, swimming, fishing right out the door Loved the deck. House had everything we needed and more. Lots of extras. Could be more glasses and bowls. But we had enough. Can’t wait visit again.

Our Seabiscuit experience
Our family had an amazing experience at sea biscuit cottage. Everything is exactly as it says it is and more. The view from the cottage and dock is beautiful. Kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling equipment to use or you can simply walk out to the sand bar if you wish. Highly recommend. Fina is an excellent host.

First Time in Exuma
Overall we really enjoyed our first visit to Exuma. The property has some things that have been neglected and its not as fully equipped as other places we've stayed at but its super cute, clean and the dock is just as amazing as it looks in photos. My favorite part of the day was watching the sunrise with coffee from the end of the dock. We saw sea turtles, a stingray, starfish and tons of little fish right from the dock. We kayaked out to the sandbar at low tide. Water is so clear and perfect temp for taking a dip at high tide. We loved the daily visits from the pups across the road. The roads are certainly rough getting to the property. We had a jeep so it was manageable but by the end of the trip using those roads twice a day to go anywhere was getting annoying. The bugs are also no joke. Thankfully we had breezy days most of our trip, which kept them at bay, but those couple calm mornings brought out the biting bugs so make sure you have long sleeves/pants and bug spray or baby oil. All in all the water, weather, beaches, and views were perfection and Fina's place is such a cute little slice of this island's paradise.

Incredible place and wonderful host
Fina was a wonderful host and loved on our kids and family. The sea biscuit lodge is great and right on the water. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and perfect location. The road in is bumpy which is normal in Exuma but very different from what we’re used to from Toronto. Just take it slow and it’s all good. We swam with sharks, rented a boat in the harbour (which was so fun) went diving and also hung out with the puppies. Thanks again for a wonderful time Fina!

Awesome place to stay
Fina was an extremely helpful, friendly host. The house over all was clean and had a very home like feel. We loved this cozy beach house on the water. The back yard was amazing too. It had a beautiful deck and had beautiful plants surrounding it. We had some friendly pups come see us in the mornings, Fina’s dogs are lovely and we are so happy we got to meet them. We really enjoyed the Sea Biscuit and we will be coming back again!

Heaven on Earth
Seabiscuit was everything I had wished for and more! This beautiful cottage has everything you could want for an awesome vacation. The amenities are far beyond what I have experienced here in Exuma. We didn't get to meet the host, however her cohosts were outstanding providing assistance, information and anything we needed to know. The cottage inside is loaded with towels, linens, dish cloths, blankets, soaps and a few more extras were not used to being provided at a rental house which was a huge bonus. Also, inside is just wonderfully set up to make your stay perfectly comfortable. The air conditioner worked flawlessly along with the electricity that has a back up generator. The couch and chairs and bed were all very comfortable. The shower was nice and had plenty of hot water. We didn't need the upstairs; that also was adorable and perfect. We used the covered porch daily. It had nice plush furniture, fans which were priceless with the heat, and an gorgeous view. There is also a hammock for use! We barbequed dinners too. The sundeck and dock were big extras to play around on, watch the sunrise and sunset, stargaze or watch marine life swimming by. There is also a plethora of water toys. The washer and dryer worked flawlessly as well. If you are looking for a tranquil, beyond beautiful and peaceful get away, you have found it! The local people in Exuma are friendly and kind and after lots of Caribbean vacations, I have finally found my heaven on earth!! Thank you Seabiscuit!

Cute Cottage on Water
Lovely location with a beautiful view of a sandbar. Forget BBQ dinners as BBQ is rusted beyond use. Be prepared for power outages as we experienced 5 over out 12 day stay. Make sure you bring a flashlight as the cottage only provided two candles. Wifi is intermittent. Oven does not work and one burner of stove does not light automatically. Be prepared for no water when workers at adjacent homes power wash. Low water pressure and flow in general. Patio doors could not be left open because sliding screen was broken. Other door was taped shut. Be careful using outdoor shower as wooden board is loose with screws protruding. Use caution entering ocean from dock as rocks are sharp and wooden ramp is at precarious angle. Despite all of these issues we enjoyed our stay.

Seabiscuit Cottage
Seabiscuit is as advertised. Great cottage for a couple or family with kids. Fina is a great hostess. Responds immediately to questions and requests. The pier over the water is wonderful. We spent lots of time there reading and enjoying the views. We saw turtles, stingrays and one shark swim by the pier. The water behind the cottage is shallow. At low tide you can wade or kayak across to the HUGE sandbar. we did both. Other people in houses nearby walked on across the sandbar to Mosquito Cay (maybe a mile) It is said to have a nice beach on the other side. The sandbar itself looks better from the pier than it does up close. It is underwater enough of the day that some sea grass goes on it and it is pot holed not smooth sand. Still it is a wonderful thing to say you did. A few things to be aware of… The cottage is in a failed housing edition. Houses along the ocean are wonderful but the roads to get to them from Queen’s Highway are not maintained and are maybe worse than we’ve experienced on any Bahamas island. Rent a Jeep not a Honda Fit like we did. You will have sections where you are almost rock crawling. Power outages are real. The cottage doesn’t have a generator so if it happens during the night, you’re gonna get warm inside. Another house is being built next door. The noise of the workers reduced some of the tranquility Seabiscuit inspires. We enjoyed our stay and the water and beaches on Exuma are some of the best you will ever see.

Peaceful Oasis
This cottage is off the “beaten” path. It’s a beautiful and peaceful oasis. The road is very Rocky, but our small rental car made it up and over and thru the wooded area many tunes without a problem. We did think we were lost a few times, but we Became quick locals. You’ll need to ask for the hidden laundry room key, but the laundry room has all the snorkel gear you need for an awesome snorkel ride near the beautiful long and private pier. Breathtaking views. No sand, but beautiful rocky cliffs. I would definitely stay again and rent a jeep for the excursion.
