    We had the best family vacation! The spot was idyllic very comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook in swim and relax.! our property manager was so wonderful. Made sure we were sorted with the boat that we brought and provided support whenever we need it.. the check-in was seamless. They met us and brought us to the house. Wi-Fi was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach.We would definitely come again!!!

    We had a serene stay in this modern guesthouse on the water. Very clean and well maintained thanks to the caretakers, Grace and Edward. Grace is an excellent cook and she made us a some killer sandwiches for our day on the water. We rented a boat and kept her on the end of the dock. We could take the boat or our golf cart easily to the Staniel Cay YC. All around - an amazing family vacation. My only complaint was the cost of the cottage was a little pricey. I would consider another stay, but only if they come down on the cost to stay per night.

    Driftwood was perfect for our family with two kids, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents. The beach area was the best part for kids to play in the sand flats and the variety of lounge chairs was great for everyone. We enjoyed the kayaks and beach toys available and the two caretakers were beyond helpful throughout our stay. A few things to note are that the stairs inside might not be great for real young walkers (under 3ish) and the front deck outside needs shoes so you don't get splinters. The kitchen was well stocked but would be better with an assortment of spices and a decent spatula. We would definitely come again!

    We stayed at Driftwood Cottage in Staniel Cay for 8 days over Christmas, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The cottage was a cozy and comfortable retreat, perfectly situated for exploring the stunning Exumas.The host, Alexandra, went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless. She was incredibly helpful with planning and organizing beforehand and super responsive throughout our stay. When the local telco antenna went down on our first day, leaving us without WiFi, Alexandra overnighted a Starlink to ensure we stayed connected. That level of care is rare and so appreciated!The caretakers, Edward and Mary, were outstanding. They were attentive to our every need, bringing ice daily in the morning and offering help whenever we needed it. Their warmth and hospitality added so much to our stay.Exploring the surrounding islands was a highlight of our trip, and Alexandra connected us with Aaron, who rented us a dayboat in good condition. A boat is essential for making the most of Staniel Cay, and this arrangement made it easy and stress-free.Driftwood Cottage was the perfect base for our holiday adventure. Between the incredible support from Alexandra, Edward, and Mary, and the breathtaking beauty of the Exumas, this was a 10/10 experience. We can't recommend it enough!

    What a wonderful experience. Centrally located in Staniel Cay, Driftwood Cottage is a special location in a protected lagoon where you just walk out the door and you are in Paradise! The service was excellent with Airport pick-up, assistance and daily follow up!

    I've visited Staniel Cay many times over the past 10 years, and have had my eye on Driftwood for a long time. We finally booked it almost a year in advance to be sure we could secure it for our family. It was the perfect location for all of our grandchildren and the adults. We rotated groups in and out during our 8 night stay. The creek was awesome for our grandkids who ranged from 20 months to 14 years old. Having the beach, shallow water, floating pad, paddle boards and kayaks kept everyone busy when we weren't out in the boat. A boat dock is a must for us, which again made Driftwood a great choice for us. The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked which we love as we cook most meals at home while we're there. The beds were comfortable which is important for me because I have arthritis in my back. The kids loved the futon style couches and even chose to sleep there some ninights. Most importantly the caretakers, Grace and Edward are amazing!!! I could write a book about their kindness and efficiency. We are from Texas and were at Driftwood when Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Houston which affected flights for two of our family groups. Consequently, we all ended up at Driftwood for 1 night. Grace and Edward helped us with an extra mattress and bedding. They made sure we had a pack n play for the grandbaby and a gate for the stairs. They live next door so they are available when you need help, but are not intrusive. They are amazing!! ♥️

    This was our third time staying in this cute little cottage. It had everything that we needed. My grandchildren ages 9, 11 and 14 enjoyed the kayaks, and discovering the marine life that would swim by. We all enjoyed watching the planes come and go. Our host Grace and Edward were always available within minutes. We also enjoy renting a boat and using the dock there at the house. It’s nice to go out each day and explore all the beautiful things. We highly recommend The Driftwood.
