3rd time a charm

Another excellent stay at Fina's.Unfortunately hit a windy period, windy enough to prevent boats getting in to restock the local supermarket but that's a part of island life.Accomodation immaculate as always, upgraded decking which gave us room enough for the whole family to enjoy.And the bonus of Fina taking in a few puppies while we were there.Looking forward to another trip soon

Best host and house

I could not recommend this house and host enough. We have stayed in a lot of places before and by far this is the most charming place. Also she has everything you need that you may have forgotten at home. Beach towel, paddle board, kayaks, floats,spices in the cabinet, blow dryer. She has books and games. You have the best of both worlds. There is shade around the porch and a dick of loungers and chairs. I would love to keep it a secret. It's just to nice not to share.

It's even prettier than the photos!

My favorite part of the cottage was the large covered porch facing the ocean and the well built and extensive deck system over the water. The porch was equipped with very comfortable furniture and the view was mesmerizing. The cottage itself is very sweet, nicely furnished, well equipped and comfortable.

Cozy cottage

This property exceeded my expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a sweet, cozy cottage with all the comforts you need inside and pure paradise outside. Walking out on the Sandbar and to tiny islands were our favourite part. Fina is a very friendly and knowledgeable host and we love her dogs. Only advice- if you fly in and it’s dark- follow Fina’s instructions to get there and don’t use google maps. The roads are terrible and you think you’re driving into no where but trust the instructions! We will be back!

Peaceful and beautiful

We love staying at the Seabiscuit. It was secluded, quiet, and so peaceful there. We loved walking out on the dock and watching the sunsets, kayaking and paddle boarding whenever we wanted, and just basically re-setting ourselves. Plenty of room in the rental, our teenagers loved having their own space in the loft. The roads getting there are rough so be sure your vehicle can handle them. No cable or smart tv log in options so be ready to unplug and unwind. .

Hostess with the Mostest

Wonderful property with a fabulous dock on a saltwater flat. Cottage was tidy and had all of the nececcities one would need. Stellar back porch with fans and a great view. The Wi-Fi worked great during my stay and the AC quickly cooled the unit. The hostess was interesting, engaging and responsive, although I did not need to reach out for any logistical reasons. Listing was accurate and possibly undersells the fantastic view, sunset and dock. There were few surprises as the descrition is fairly accurate. Some things to be aware of, which are mostly mentioned in other comments: Dogs (they were great, but know they are around), roads (not so great, but it was expected), during my stay, there were (3) one person kayaks (which was fine for me), "the washroom", which is an outside locked room next to the garage, (key in desk drawer) holds a treasure trove of goodies, including the cushions for all the outside furniture, snorkel gear, the good paddles for kayak, washer/dryer etc..I had no idea until my last day. After you book, there is also a requirement to leave $125 in cash for cleaning on your departure. I was aware of this before booking from reading other reviews. All and all a fantastic location, hostess, and destination.

We'll be back!!

Unfortunately, we were unable to make the trip this time. We had to dodge Hurricane Milton at first, then an emergency that came up hours before our rescheduled flight and we had to miss our Fall visit. Fina was ever so accommodating, understanding and wonderful as usual!!! She is an outstanding hostess and we can't wait until May to visit again for our third stay at Seabiscuit. It is such a phenomenal cottage and location loaded with everything we need to create a magical vacation!! Thank you Fina, so much, and we will see you in May, or maybe before!! Hugs to the pups!!!!!!!

Amazing little cottage with everything right in your backyard

Some friends of ours had stayed at Seabiscuit the year prior and recommended it to us as an “off the beaten path” place to stay on the island. Were the type of family that is active and enjoys all things water sports, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling etc. Fina’s place has it all, right in your backyard. We felt as if we discovered a very small percentage of the island as we beach hopped some and went over to Stocking Island to the Chat & Chill (highly recommended) but we Wilmer didn’t have to leave the house. We’re a family of four with a 9yr old and a teenager but found the small cottage super comfortable and tons of “living space” to have some alone time if need be. Fina was very responsive and helpful throughout the duration of our stay. The property and views are breathtakingly beautiful with countless options for those who love to fish, snorkel, kayak, swim or just sit and relax on a dock and dive into a book. We will definitely be back!

A gem of a cottage

This is a cute little cottage with an absolutely gorgeous view & access to shallow water 2-4 feet when tides out! Owner has snorkel equipment, kayaks, floats and other supplies for enjoying the water! It’s a bit of an inconvenience to run to the grocery so bring your own food. Kitchen is fairly stocked w most things needed to prepare food. We loved the dock, especially at night when star gazing was great! The visiting dogs are a fun addition! Host is very attentive.

Our Second Visit to Paradise

This was our second visit to Seabiscuit. We didn't think it could get any better, but this time we met the owner, Fina, who is so welcoming, kind and a gem of a host!! We spent lots of time at the cottage swimming, enjoying the covered porch, laying in the hammock and sunbathing on the sundeck. The sunsets are some of the most beautiful we have ever seen!! The cottage is perfect for us providing everything we need, and more, to make our vacation comfortable and special!! We have our third stay already planned. Thank you again Fina, for sharing your slice of paradise with us!!

Amazing dock and views!

What a beautiful piece of paradise. Fina was very responsive to any questions or issues we had. House was clean and well stocked. Air conditioning worked very well. Loved having a washer and dryer. The view from the Large dock is MAGICAL! Fina surprised us and had a Pool set up on the dock for my kids ( 2 and 4 yr old) which they loved!! Ty for that Fina! We had fun w the kayaks and paddleboards. No seeums were a pain per usual but that was expected. Lots of little critters but such is island life. There was construction happening next door but we were gone exploring for most of our stay so it wasn't a huge deal for us. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Bahama bonefishing

Excellent stay. It really is a special spot, Fina. Every time I looked out the deck towards the water…peaceful. Having access to the waterfront was really great. Kayaking, swimming, fishing right out the door Loved the deck. House had everything we needed and more. Lots of extras. Could be more glasses and bowls. But we had enough. Can’t wait visit again.

Our Seabiscuit experience

Our family had an amazing experience at sea biscuit cottage. Everything is exactly as it says it is and more. The view from the cottage and dock is beautiful. Kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling equipment to use or you can simply walk out to the sand bar if you wish. Highly recommend. Fina is an excellent host.

First Time in Exuma

Overall we really enjoyed our first visit to Exuma. The property has some things that have been neglected and its not as fully equipped as other places we've stayed at but its super cute, clean and the dock is just as amazing as it looks in photos. My favorite part of the day was watching the sunrise with coffee from the end of the dock. We saw sea turtles, a stingray, starfish and tons of little fish right from the dock. We kayaked out to the sandbar at low tide. Water is so clear and perfect temp for taking a dip at high tide. We loved the daily visits from the pups across the road. The roads are certainly rough getting to the property. We had a jeep so it was manageable but by the end of the trip using those roads twice a day to go anywhere was getting annoying. The bugs are also no joke. Thankfully we had breezy days most of our trip, which kept them at bay, but those couple calm mornings brought out the biting bugs so make sure you have long sleeves/pants and bug spray or baby oil. All in all the water, weather, beaches, and views were perfection and Fina's place is such a cute little slice of this island's paradise.

Incredible place and wonderful host

Fina was a wonderful host and loved on our kids and family. The sea biscuit lodge is great and right on the water. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and perfect location. The road in is bumpy which is normal in Exuma but very different from what we’re used to from Toronto. Just take it slow and it’s all good. We swam with sharks, rented a boat in the harbour (which was so fun) went diving and also hung out with the puppies. Thanks again for a wonderful time Fina!

Awesome place to stay

Fina was an extremely helpful, friendly host. The house over all was clean and had a very home like feel. We loved this cozy beach house on the water. The back yard was amazing too. It had a beautiful deck and had beautiful plants surrounding it. We had some friendly pups come see us in the mornings, Fina’s dogs are lovely and we are so happy we got to meet them. We really enjoyed the Sea Biscuit and we will be coming back again!
