We really enjoyed our stay in Cherokee! Everyone in the community was very warm and welcoming. The house was perfect for us. It was very clean and well equipped with everything we might need. We enjoyed the local beaches, watched the sunsets on the long dock and had lunch at Pete’s Pub. If you want to stay in a quiet community with an old Bahamas feel to it Cherokee is it!!!

Wonderful second honeymoon getaway

Host was extremely informative about where to go to eat and where to find the best shells! Good information about the local area and beaches, the tides. Bed was super comfy. Plenty of beach towels and bathing towels provided. Clean and comfortable. Easy check out process. Locals were kind and informative. Good local grocery within walking distance. Quiet local community and not far from the airport; 30 minute drive.

Great stay in a Fantastic loctation!

Great place to stay in Cherokee Sound in Abaco. Excellent location in a great small community. Rental has everything you need for your stay. Well maintained and clean. Danette was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. Location is beautiful with the beach and Long Dock a minutes walk away. People were very nice and welcoming. From fresh tomatoes and bananas from the neighbor it was a great stay. With the Cherokee Food Fair and Bakery right there you can be self sufficient. Groceries to meals everything was great and the deserts were fantastic. Highly recommend this location for your stay. Don't hesitate to stay here.

Cherokee Sound Community

Spent 9 nights in the uniquely secluded village of Cherokee Sound. Danette was a great host!! Communication was very good and she checked in with us multiple times through the week. Everything we needed was available. A/C was a big plus. Were in Abacos with a friend Bonefishing and Danette’s place was perfect for group of 2-4 fishing buddies. Will stay here again if we are back in Abacos. Thanks for helping make it a great trip.

Amazing Place

Our stay at Island Cottage was amazing. We were looking for a quiet place to reconnect as a family and the location provided just that. The house was immaculate and exactly as described. The kids really enjoyed their own space in the spacious loft. The kitchen is well equipped and provided for some great family meals. The close location to the beach and the dock was ideal. The blue water and white sand was amazing. Thanks to the limited illumination at night the dock was a great location for star gazing. Danette, the host, was truly responsive and offered some great recommendations. The local grocery store is well stocked and truly convenient. We would definitely stay again. Eric

Fantastic experience

Firstly, I must say that this was one of the nicest rentals that we have stayed in. The home was spotless, immaculate, and incredibly well provisioned. Extremely spacious and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the host provided us with everything that you could possibly need, from beach chairs to towels to condiments to laundry soap, washer and dryer, grill etc…. We felt like we were at home!!! A short walk to an incredible beach. This house sits amongst a very quaint and friendly town, we felt very safe and very welcomed here. We will absolutely be back to Abaco and this will be our number 1 pick!!! The host even let us check out later than normal and was so accommodating to our every single need. Tremendous trip because of our stay here!!!

Peaceful and relaxing

This cottage is so comfortable. Beautiful floors, clean and inviting. We are picky, rarely sleep well away. But with the comfort of the beds, we slept 12 hours straight the first night! Very comfortable, even My Pillow sheets. It was well supplied with spices, though we were glad to we brought salt. 😆 The upstairs worked out perfect for our group and the beds were great too. Oven worked well, huge washer and dryer. Just a short walk to the beach and Long Dock... breathtaking! Host communicated well and quickly. Thank you for sharing your place!

Love this house & location!

The house is as I expected and we were very happy to find it so. The attic is wonderfully set up with 3 beds, extra room and window seats! Great for the kids who also enjoyed the selection of book. The offi e was great for privacy and even has a couch and chair. I used the desk top for a puzzle...closet has a couple puzzles, monopoly and cards which we used all of. Linens were sufficient with extra plus quilts for lounging. The washer and dryer were a nice bonus! Thr house was immaculately cleaned. Kitchen was well supplied also with condiments. We enjoyed some steaks cooked on the grill. We actually didn't have time to use the kayaks which is why we picked this place! Lol There are two stores, one with gasoline. We didn't make the sea shell museum-call in advance to schedule. Quiet town and nice walking to stores and beach. Highlight of our stay was Long Dock!! And there is a beach area too. We found many empty conch and seashells. People all over the island were friendly. Watch for potholes tho!! Definitely a 5 Star vacation!!

Greatly equipped kitchen. Extremely clean property. Good location, easy 3 min walk to beach and long dock. Cute town off beaten path. Fun to go to Pete’s pub (drive). Good fishing off dock and great beach combing. Was stormy when there so couldn’t use kayaks but they looked great. Air conditioning works great. Condiments in fridge; oil and spices in cupboard. Games, cooler, beach towels provided. Beautiful garden and front porch with bbq.

House had everything we could want and Danette was the most attentive host I’ve ever had. She made sure we were aware of a short electric outage and the house was completely supplied with flashlights and battery operated lanterns for an outage. She also kept us informed of special food options in the area

Cozy home in paradise

I celebrated my 40th birthday with a few friends and the location was ideal for relaxation and a little adventure. A nice quiet neighborhood in one of the prettiest parts of Abaco. The house is surrounded by beautiful flowers and landscaping. The house is cozy inside and has all amenities that I needed.

Abaco visit

Enjoyed our stay. Cottage very clean and well appointed. *Initially it took 3 days, to find a shorter access route, not through the narrow roads/cabins. Turn left, by sign saying Car Park. Follow short distance…property on RHS painted blue. Pete’s Pub and Art Gallery… good food and ambience…only open a few days weekly and closes early. Really enjoyed our stay there - just be aware - stairs steep for children and low headroom for taller people upstairs. Caveat: Kitchen/lounge has a glass internal window (curtained on other side) presumably to the attached owner’s accommodation. Curtain/screen… needs to be in Guest side, All else was lovely 😊

Perfect Fit.

House was in immaculate condition when we arrived. For us, a couple, plenty of room. We thought overall, good value for what it rents for. We had to reschedule our rental from the Fall until April due to an unexpected (kidney stones) medical issue with me. The owner had no issue with changing our dates, although it was fairly short notice. That's unlike the expierence we had during Covid with a house we lost money on because of travel restrictions at the time. One of the reasons we rented this house was due to it being so close to the Cherokee flats. Its not directly on them, but a very short walk away. Many days my wife would set up on the beach there and watch me thrash around unsuccessfully on the flats trying to catch a Bonefish. She has observed this scene many times over the years and is quite used to it by now. Thats another great point concerning this house if you rent it. Even if you don't fish, the Cherokee flats are beautiful. And there are a couple of nice beaches right on them. The town of Cherokee itself is pretty cool. The people seem laid back and friendly. Well kept small town, and there is a small store, which is an advantage. No beer or wine there, though. Lastly, Petes Pub is only four miles from Cherokee. Petes is my favorite (and my wife's) place to go to on Abaco. To have it so close to the house was a nice bonus.

Had a grand time in Danette's beautiful rental. She is a very responsive and helpful host. Conveniently located very close to the parking lot and a short stroll to the beach!
