A recent Guest best described our Oasis:
What a stay… turned out to be one of the best vacations we have experienced. On holiday, we seek peace, quiet, rest, tranquility, and natural beauty. Accompanied by exploring and some adventure, this place is a gift! Long Island is Paradise found, and George’s rental suited us perfectly. It’s situated fairly centrally to explore the island. The beach and bay right out front was gorgeous and no one around. We really enjoyed long morning walks, shelling and marvelling at the beauty of the water (bring water shoes or tevas). We like to grocery shop and cook most our own meals and this house was very well set up for that. George was there to answer questions when we had them in his kind and warm ways…we felt very welcome, safe, and spoiled. The place was so quiet in fact, and the bedding so comfortable, we both marvelled at how well we slept during our stay.
We would love to come back asap, and George’s place would be our first choice.
Long Island is Magical.

This is a great vacation cottage located in a good island-centered location for touring the entire island ! Plenty of room for two people but can fit up to four with two bedrooms, each with a queen bed.

Set a bit back from your private beach area sits our TWO bed, TWO bath Beach House ...The ocean is at your doorstep ! Nothing between you, the water and the three mile long beach ! The cottage is spacious (864 sq. ft.) with Fully equipped kitchen and also a washer/ dryer. Two full baths with walk in showers, living room with TV, starlink wifi, A/C, complimentary use of kayaks and more. A VERY comfortable place to vacation. A great place to snorkel also with our own reef steps away from our shoreline.

The Cottage is elevated so you really catch the trade winds. Everyone loves the screen porch in front since it gives you the view of the water and palm trees. Cocktails on the porch at sunset is popular !The kitchen is full size...not a little kitchenette...and fully equipped to prepare whatever you want to cook. It has Full size range and large refrigerator, microwave , blender, mixer etc....plenty of counter space !

Each cozy bedroom has a queen size bed and is air conditioned. A great place to relax after a day on the island. We also have a washer/dryer in the cottage for your convenience (and we'll give you the laundry detergent for free !)

Both bathrooms feature large walk-in showers - Not cramped ! If you are like me you don't like fighting with the shower curtain ! And for further comfort we have Water Pik detachable shower heads ! It's all about making sure you are comfortable so you can truly enjoy your stay with us. You also will shower in PURE RAINWATER that we catch on our roof.

Free hi speed internet in cottage and on the beach !

Come to Long Island..This is the REAL BAHAMAS........Live The Dream with Us !

Special Requests: If you have any special requests please let us know. If you need some groceries, beer, liquor or soda we'd be happy to pick that up for you so it will be ready upon arrival...nothing like a nice cold drink after a day of traveling.
Same thing with arrangements for Rental Cars, Fishing guides, restaurants..whatever !!! We are here to take the mystery out of Long Island so you can have A stress-free stay and pack in as much fun as possible while you are here.

Guest access

Other things to note
SNORKELING: EXCELLENT RIGHT HERE ! We have our own protected coral reef just 180 feet from the beach. There are thousands of fish and other marine life that call this reef their home and it is just a short walk from your beach ! Very unique to have such a sight so close and convenient. In addition to the reef, the Bight offers other things to see as well including octopus, conch, starfish, crab, lobster sponges and more. And it’s all right here at your doorstep !

FISHING: Wemyss Bight is right in front and offers some of the best bone fishing on the island as well as other species. Walk the three mile long beach and try your luck !!

    My husband and I had a fabulous stay at George and Cindy’s rental property. The house had everything we needed to prepare our meals at home. (Love that they had a coffee bean grinder for our special coffee). But the main reason I would give this property 10 stars is the host. He checked on us daily to see if we needed anything and gave us so much information about the island (First-timers to Long Island). We loved talking with both of them and we will miss them. Thank you George and Cindy for an unforgettable stay and I hope to see you both in the future.Denise and Nicklas

    We spent two weeks in George and Cindy's perfect two bedroom rental a few feet from a beautiful beach. The house would be perfect for two couples or two friends as well. Well set up to cook in, and closer to many restaurants. Huge bonus was a shaded screened in porch with a view of the ocean.

    Cindy and George know what it takes to have a great stay: a very functional and clean cottage and lots of towels (!). They are nearby and could respond to all our needs and questions. Thank you both for a very pleasant stay!

    We had 2 families come and 4 of our group of 10 stayed here and it was exactly what we wanted! Cute, very clean, cool, comfy beds, PERFECT location, lovely screened porch. George came over and welcomed us right away and checked in daily via email to see if we needed anything. Check in and check out was super easy. We were so thankful we were able to rent this house and would definitely recommend!!

    From our first enquiry, to day of our departure, our experience with Whymmsical Wish Cottage was fantastic. The property is spacious, airy, bright, very well-equipped, private and very quiet. It is tough duty to walk a couple hundred feet through palm trees to get to a 2 mile+ sandy beach! George and Cindy are a wonderful, hospitable couple and live right next door. Nothing malfunctioned, but it was nice they were right here in case. George has bent over backward, from the moment we made first contact, to make our stay on Long Island one of our best vacations ever. And, he makes a heck of a pizza! We look forward to our next trip back to Whymms!

    I highly recommend this property to anyone planning a visit to Long Island. George and Cindy are amazing hosts. They are great in helping you plan your stay and are very knowledgeable about all aspects of the island.They are fun to be around and make you feel so comfortable staying in their wonderful accommodations that it is hard to leave. The property is located on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Good, snorkeling, kayaking, and bonefishing are just a few steps away. The accommodations are very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We can't wait to go back!

    George made our trip to Long Island well with it! The cottage is literally a place you feel at home. The location is ideal for traveling to both ends of the island or simply staying on the property. Many of the conveniences you would expect for kitchen, bath, and resting. Beautiful views and an amazing reef close to shore. The generosity and helpfulness of Goerge and Cindy makes everyday on the island a “good day”!

    The property is everything as advertised. It is close to the beach with easy accessibility to Queen's Highway and the entire island. George and Cindy are some of the nicest people we've met and were extremely helpful in all parts of our stay on Long Island. They provided both the amenities needed to make our stay easier and pleasurable but also have a wealth of knowledge about the island that only a 17 year resident and a native Bahamian could provide in regards to groceries, beaches, restaurants, snorkeling and more. The 2 bedroom cottage was large enough for us and has all the necessities for your stay whether it be a week or a month or more.. and kayaks, beach needs,, etc are provided. We have already discussed returning next year. Heartily recommend this property if you are even considering it. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, in regards to Long Island, it is beautiful and you have access to both Caribbean and Atlantic oceans within 4 miles of each other and the people are among the nicest and friendliest we encountered in all our travels.

    We had the pleasure of staying with George and Cindy for almost 2 weeks in January and early February. I don't think we've ever been treated nicer at any home rented on HomeAway, AirBnb, etc. George and Cindy treat you like family, always checking in to see that everything was okay, and to see if we needed help with ideas for places to explore, beaches to walk, ideas for fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, and just general information about the the lovely people in place of Long Island. We had a mini medical emergency that led to a midnight call to their house and they were up immediately helping us understand what our options were. Thankfully with their help, the crises resolved and we gave Cindy credit for being a lifesaver! Now if we can just get her to be able to control the weather, she'll have it all (but who can complain about mid seventies and a beautiful breeze; there were just a few days when the weather was a bit windy for fishing). The house is beautiful appointed, well built, clean and uncluttered, had everything you could want in the well-supplied kitchen. We stayed in the smaller of two houses. I assume the other is equally perfectly appointed. Again George checked in regularly to see if we needed towels or if we were missing anything -- pots and pans, a cooler, beach chairs, etc. We did borrow a pizza pan and that was great! George helped us set up a rental car with Stanley who met us at the tiny airport. George had some groceries ready that we requested since we arrived on a Sunday.
