Great Spot
The location of this home is great. We were able to zip around the island to all the spots (Staniel Cay, Pirates Beach, boating, fishing etc). James and Lorraine were great. So informative and friendly. You need to rent their golf cart while you stay here. Take a boat to all the little islands.

Great house
The house is in a great location for everything. It has everything you need while traveling. It was a good fit for my family of 4. The host, James went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything. He checked on us numerous times and was very responsive with emails before we arrived. He was also a great guide for the island. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at The Good Life cottage!
The cottage was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was the perfect getaway for two couples and had everything we needed including a well stocked kitchen for simple meals, beach towels, a wonderful covered deck/porch with seating, and great WiFi for one of us who had to work occasionally. James was a perfect host helping us at the airport upon arrival and providing a golf cart for us to rent. He recommended a wonderful boat captain (Fishy) who took us on a tour to pig beach, thunderball grotto, the sand bar, swimming with sharks, a plane wreck and iguana beach. Awesome experience, thank you James and Fishy!! The property is near the airport and across the street from the Embrace Resort serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The golf cart was perfect for exploring the island, beaches, shopping at the small grocery stores and frequenting Staniel cay yacht club. James and Lorraine were awesome hosts and quick to respond to any questions. We look forward to returning and would definitely recommend The Good Life cottage!

Convenient, clean cottage
This cottage was very clean and had everything we needed to make meals and have a comfortable stay. Staniel Cay is a very small island. This was 45 seconds (yes, seconds) from the airport in a golf cart. We rented the golf cart for the week directly from the owners. Vivian and James were great to deal with and made our stay very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when we return in the future.

It’s better in the Bahamas !!
Absolutely terrific location and home which James takes great care to ensure we were all having fun and had everything we needed. We already are planing to return, hopefully with friends next time. His home is close to everything but it’s fun to rent his golf cart and explore. Also, rent a boat and captain Fishy will take you lots of places you won’t want to miss. Excellent vacation

A perfect way to spend the holidays
This home was perfect for our family of four to spend a tropical Christmas. James picked us up from the airport along with coordinating a golf cart and boat rental and answering other questions. The location was convenient to everything when we preferred occasionally to walk instead of golf cart.

Relax in paradise
The cottage was exactly as described, clean and comfortable and a perfect getaway after a long day on the beach or on the water. James was a perfect host helping us at the airport upon arrival and providing us a map of the island. We rented a golf cart for the week to get around. James cleaned off his bikes for our boys to enjoy a little sightseeing. We did a day trip deep sea fishing and another day tour to pig beach, thunderbolt grotto, the sand bar, swimming with the sharks at compass Cay and iguana beach which was very memorable. There are a couple of small groceries to buy necessities which we got but also ate most meals at the local staniel cay yacht club where they pour generous drinks and have amazing food. We look forward to returning soon! Thanks for a memorable family vacation.

Spearfishing Getaway
Overall house was very well kept, clean and spacious. We were here for a week of spearfishing/diving and were hoping to cook nightly. The kitchen could be better equipped with basics (knives, cutting boards, etc). BBQ available but you must supply your own charcoal... we were thinking this was a propane setup.

Great stay for the price!
This house was located just a couple blocks from the yacht club and marina and it was just a quick jog to the water. We spent all day on the boat so we really didn't miss out, but I kind of missed not having the ocean view while we wound down from the days activities. That is the only downside to this location, but the price was hard to beat. The house was very clean and our host was available and very accommodating.

Great affordable place to stay with friends or family.
We booked this home for 2 couples to enjoy Staniel Cay. It was nicely layed out with 2br and 2 baths. We were pleased with the hoste James that he communicated well before and during our trip and was even able to rent us a golf cart and pick us up at the Airport just a block away. This home was very well kept and clean. It is walking distance from everything because the island is only about a mile long. We chose to rent a golf cart and explored parts of the island we had never been to before. I would stay here again. Not on the beach but we spent our days at several beaches around the island and returned to the serenity of this house.
