Welcome to Turtle Creek Inn By The Sea! This is a lovely garden view studio apartment that has a nicely appointed kitchenette with a refrigerator, toaster oven, two-burner cook top, coffee maker, and AC.
The gardens are lush with native trees, fruits and flowers which attract a wide array of birds and butterflies. The property borders on a sweet tidal creek where we have our private dock for kayaking & paddle boarding. The lazy river is a 20 minute paddle from our dock.
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!.
Forbes Hill beach is a 4 minute drive and Tropic of Cancer beach is a 8 minute drive from the Inn

    I absolutely loved my stay at Ronda & Steve's place. I truly had everything I needed in this nice private room. Impeccable bathroom with a nice bed and clean kitchenette. Ronda and Steve have been amazing hosts, so kind, very responsive and always happy to chat about little Exuma or life in general. Steve’s cooking was delicious.There are no words to describe how peaceful and relaxing this place is. I have cherished the special moments spent in Ronda’s beautiful garden, kayaking in the Moriah harbour cay, the spiritual connection with the beautiful surroundings and the mangrove. Exuma is not a place to hike, but definitely a great spot to enjoy kayak, while discovering the wildlife of the Moriah National Park and the beauty of the beaches. With Ronda kayak’s expertise and patience, I was able to enjoy my daily kayak trips and I had a blast spending a week there. I would definitely rent again if coming back to Exuma and would highly recommend this place for a peaceful break while looking to relax.

    Ronda and Stephen were great hosts. The accommodations were clean and just as expected from the reviews. So close to some great snorkeling beaches. Firm bed, air conditioning worked great. Hot water for showers. Filtered water for drinking. Ate at jeans, good burgers.

    Fantastic property. Very quiet, secluded. Direct access to the ocean without being right on it. 20 minute kayak paddle at a relaxed pace and you're there. Rhonda and Steve are very accommodating and down to earth.

    Amazing small inn tucked away on Little Exuma. The grounds are beautiful with a wonderful garden and deck over looking the mangroves with Moriah Cay in the distance. Perfect location for exploring by kayak. I can't express enough how much I appreciate Ronda and Steve's hospitality.

    Rhonda and Steve made us feel so welcome and comfortable. She shared her garden, the creek, amazing food and recommendations. The highlight of our trip was kayaking with her, and Steve could not have been more gracious and generous. We can’t wait to come back!

    Steve and Ronda were extremely nice and helpful hosts on site. I stayed for a week in 2 different studios and enjoyed both. Gems: The property with fruit trees and flowers. The boat shed top deck/lounge with amazing 180 degree view of sea, mangroves, creeks. Expedition quality kayaks (perfect for exploring bays, estuaries, beaches) and gear in excellent condition. Well informed kayak quide! Nice relaxed breakfasts. Location: quiet, great stars, away from bustling Georgetown. Near gorgeous beaches. The scoop on local ways and places. The cheerful studios: just big enough for 2 people, well stocked kitchenette. Good beds. And just a number of little extra touches that brighten the visit and place. Their water is tasty and filtered. And you don't need a Jeep to get to their location or around Exuma. My Honda Fit didi fine, driven carefully.
