SOLD - NO LONGER AVAILABLE MeltAway Cottage: | House in George Town

1 Bedroom House in George Town
Hello - Meltaway Cottage has been sold and is no longer available for rent from us!
THANKS TO ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS!
We will be taking down this VRBO listing soon.
Welcome to the south side of the island - Exuma’s hidden gem!
Your worries fade away as you pull into the yard and catch your first glimpse of the turquoise water in front of MeltAway Cottage (a non-smoking property). We are located just 8 minutes by car east of George Town in Masters Harbour, Bahama Sound 11 West.
The house is situated directly on the water’s edge across from an expansive sandbar (bonefish flats). Our two-story house has a spacious open floor plan that includes a large, screened porch with seating at both ends. From either vantage point you can greet the day peacefully with your morning coffee/tea and then kick back and relax after your day’s adventures while enjoying a beverage, grilling a steak, and marveling at the spectacular sunsets.
MeltAway Cottage is a fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2-bath home with additional loft space that can be used for sleeping or storage. The house has hurricane proof/low-e windows throughout. There is an air conditioning system in the main living area (kitchen/living room). This system helps to cool down the open loft area as well. Bedrooms have ceiling fans as well as air conditioning. The kitchen has stainless appliances (large French door fridge/freezer, microwave, stove/oven) with plenty of cookware, utensils, and small appliances (coffee maker, keurig, kettle, waffle maker, toaster, and blender). The dining area can seat up to 10 people (6 comfortably at the table when extended and 4 on bar stools at the islands). There is a Weber BBQ for your grilling needs. Ceiling fans in the screened porch help to keep it cooler on those rare days without a breeze.
MeltAway Cottage is connected to city water and has a freshwater cistern available as back-up.
The patio in front of the house has plenty of seating including two lounge chairs; an outdoor hammock and there is also another comfortable hammock in the screened porch.
There are four kayaks available for your use (2 singles and 2 tandem) as well as two stand up paddleboards (SUPS).
We have internet that usually allows for watching Netflix and other streaming channels on the Smart TV. The internet is not as high-speed as you are used to at home, but it is just fine for checking emails and zooming with family and friends. There are several games for the family (Yahtzee, Monopoly, Rummikub and Scrabble). Guests have started leaving books, so we also have a small library.
You will find everything you need for your stay in and around George Town - grocery stores, a fantastic butcher shop (Prime Island Meats), restaurants/bars, liquor stores, bank machine (Royal Bank), gas station and you can purchase local souvenirs at the straw market and other small stores in town.
Exuma offers an abundance of sun, sand, and sea as well as incredibly friendly people. Stretch out on a lounge chair and catch some rays or take a dip in the ocean in front of the house to start your day. Depending on the tide you can walk or kayak to the sandbar across from the house. There is also decent snorkeling along the shoreline so bring your gear.
There are many spectacular beaches on both Great and Little Exuma that are accessible by car (a rental car is a must on the island).
Being on or close to the water is what probably drew you to Exuma. Hop in the kayaks and paddle the shoreline or venture across to the nearby islands at high tide. The sand flats to the west are excellent for bone fishing. You can also arrange to have a guide with a boat pick you up at the house. Renting a boat in George Town (Minns) also allows access to all the beaches of Elizabeth Harbor and Stocking Island. Sightseeing, adventure tours (swim with the pigs, visit the iguanas, snorkel in underwater caves at Thunderball Grotto) and SCUBA diving trips can be also arranged in town.
If you enjoy being active, you can lace up your sneakers and safely walk/run the many roads in our neighbourhood or with the proper footwear explore the rocky shoreline. Folks are friendly so introduce yourself along the way.
If golf is your passion call and book a tee time and head north approximately 16 miles to Sandals Emerald Bay Resort and The Emerald Reef Golf Course (designed by Greg Norman).
In case you are concerned our housekeeping team do a deep clean and sanitize before and after all guest stays at MeltAway Cottage. We are and will continue to be in line with Covid 19 guidelines.
Upon booking, a detailed PDF document will be provided that will give you tips on what to bring, directions to various beaches and contact phone numbers to assist you in booking excursions. We will also be happy to answer your questions if you want to email us.
