Sand Dollar Beach Cottage is located on the beautiful island of Black Point in the Exuma Cays. The many islands of Exuma are home to a variety of popular attractions including the original Swimming Pigs. Sand Dollar Cottage is situated on a hill above the beach and has deck on both sides of the property giving guests a beautiful view of both the Atlantic Ocean, and the shallow Bahama Banks, when the tide goes out it is a beautiful Sandbar appears. This picturesque scene is perfect for taking beautiful photos. The rental home is within walking distance to all of the local activities, restaurants and stores whilst also giving visitors the perfect amount of seclusion they may require. There are two direct options of getting to Black Point with no hassle. You can fly into Nassau Bahamas then take Flamingo Air or Titan Air from Nassau direct to Black Point Exuma. Alternatively, you can fly Makers Air from Ft Lauderdale Florida into Staniel Cay Exuma. If you choose to fly into Staniel Cay however, there is a fee to transport you from Staniel Cay to the cottage. If you want to experience the various attractions of Exuma, you can do so by booking a private boat tour with us during your stay. Some of the sites seen on the tour include the world's famous Swimming Pigs, The Exuma Land & Sea Park, Swimming with the Nurse Sharks, Sandbars, The Thunderball Grotto, Iguanas, Rachel's Bubble Bath, and a variety of snorkeling sites. We also have boat rentals available with sizes ranging from 17ft Boston whalers to 23ft Contender. Golf cart rentals and bicycles can also be rented as a means to get around the island.
This is a beautiful property away from the busyness of life. Rent a golf cart or bring a scooter.
Great place to get involved in the local culture. The residents here are super nice and welcoming. Ida is great host. The properties are super clean and as advertised.
It was a great property. Comfortable. Accessible and Ida was an amazing host!
I loved the people! Loved the food. Lorraine’s daughter is an artist, her shop is in the airport. Loved the little airport. The views are breathtaking. Ida and her family take care of a golf cart and boat excursions. Exumas is my favorite place. I always return. If you just want to relax and enjoy the island, best place to go. I can’t say enough great things about Black point. I’ll be back to bring candy for the children. Side note the steps to beach are not for bad knee’s Thank you to everyone I meet
We had an amazing time during our stay at one of Ida’s beach cottages. Incredible views front porch and back!! The cottage itself is cozy and clean with great air conditioning and everything we needed to make meals in the kitchenette. Food on the island is quite expensive so we definitely recommend flying in work as much as you can!! But we really enjoyed visiting the local groceries and the restaurants on the island. The golf cart rental is highly recommended, we used it everyday and had a blast exploring this incredible island paradise!! Also, we had the perfect day on a boat tour with Terrin, he took us to several top attractions around the Exumas and it was spectacular!!! Thanks again to the Patton family and we sure hope to return some day!!
Great experience with the whole process and property was perfect
We spend 7 nights, the property is amazing, the pictures do not do it justice. IDA the property host will go above and beyond to make sure that you have everything you need, from excursions to golfcarts she got it covered. We highly recommend that you rent a golfcart for your entire stay. We had so much fun exploring the island with ours. After this stay we spend a couple of nights in a exclusive luxury resort at three times the price and we both agreed that we enjoyed our stay so much more at this Black Point property.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Ida was great and helpful. The location was beautiful and right on the beach. We would return in a heartbeat! Couple of things to know: The location is remote so it is important to rent a golf cart or bikes. There were no light poles close to the house and challenging to get home at night by bike because of this. The groceries on the island are pretty limited and expensive - grocery stores only accept case (they do accept american dollars). There are only about 5 restaurants on the island. Getting there you need to catch a local airline like Flamingo Air from Nassau.
Beautiful place! Everyone was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend!
This is our second time to stay in Blackpoint at Ida Patton's cottages. There isn't enough words to describe our stay. The cottages are perfect in every way from the furnishings to the amenities and the cleanliness. Every view out of our cottage is breathtaking, from the Atlantic dark blue out the front door to the turquoise Caribbean Sea out the back door. Simply heaven!!! Ida is such a joy to be around and she works night and day to ensure that all of her guests are happy. We love Blackpoint for so many reasons, the first one being the people on Blackpoint are the friendliest people I have ever encountered! They genuinely want you to be there! Fresh fish is abundant whether you go to one of the restaurants or hire a captain to take you out and catch your own. We cooked in the cottage and had our own fish, conch and lobster prepared at the restaurants. We never grew tired of the abundance of fresh seafood in the Exumas. We have become close to so many people on the Island From Ida, Captain Dorane (AKA adopted son) a Diver Extraordinaire, to the local restaurant and store owners. We are already planing a couple more trips back to Blackpoint! We truly can't get enough!!
