Home away from home!
What a beautiful & cozy place! We loved everything about Brett & Heather’s place. The house is very clean. We arrived for the last part of our trip. As soon as we walked in the door we felt like we were back at home. Our favorite part of the place was how close the beach was…100 steps and you’re there! We spent our last day enjoying the beach while the kiddos played in the water. We only saw 2 other people the whole time we were there. The kids enjoyed the beach toys & the 2 way radios definitely came in handy. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Brett & Heather!

Travelling with children
We just got back from our week long stay at Canuck Palms with our two kids aged 2 1/2 years and 7 months. The accommodations were spotless on arrival and it was stocked with all the equipment you need to enjoy your vacation (including many supplies for kids!). It was great to have access to both a pack n’play and high chair which meant less packing for us and we were pleasantly surprised to also find children’s beach toys and books! The beach was a short walk from the house (not suitable terrain for a stroller but it was so close we didn’t need one) and we often had it completely to ourselves. During our stay the water at the beach was a bit rough and not suitable for swimming with small children but we enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the waves. The house was conveniently located (15-20 min drive) to tons of amazing beaches with shallow calm water for swimming. There were many options close by for food, groceries and gas! We felt very safe in the area and were surrounded by friendly neighbours but had tons of privacy on the property itself. Brett and Heather were EXTREMELY responsive both leading up with the trip and during our stay (they usually responded in under 5 mins!). We did lose power quite a few times during our stay (often for about 30 mins, sometimes longer) and they were quick to keep us updated. This is something to consider when travelling with kids who are on a meal/nap schedule. This is truly a turn key vacation spot and we can’t wait to return!

Great Stay at Canuck Palms
The house was very clean and neat and had a great Bahamas vibe. The check-in process was super easy and communication with the owners was very clear and precise. We enjoyed the easy and short walk to what felt like our own private beach and spent a lot of time there.

Excellent Home
Brett and Heather were very responsive to any follow-up questions we had. The check-in process was very easy. The home is exactly as the photos depict. Spotlessly clean, bright, large rooms, cozy beds. They have thought of almost anything someone may need. You could literally come here without packing anything and have what you need. They have set the bar very high for other VRBO properties. We have stayed three different places in Exuma and by far this has been the best property. Very close to a quiet beach with a scenic walk. When we come back we will certainly choose Canuck Palms. We cannot recommend their home enough. Thank you so much Brett and Heather. Your home helped make an already perfect island vacation that much better.

Better than advertised. Perfect private getaway spot.
Everything that the add listed was there and more. Private, very clean, and everything we needed and many things that we didn’t need but we’re there in case (full kitchen). Owners responded to any questions very quickly. Check in was simple and easy. 2 min walk to beach that had no other people during our stay. Right in the middle of the island, 5 mins from the airport. Clean towels and bedding. We will definitely be booking again next year. Highly reccomend!!!

Perfect piece of paradise
This property was perfect and had everything we needed! It was my third trip to Exuma and I brought my 16 year old daughter and 2 year old son and we were there for 10 days. The home was open and clean and had all the amenities that you need. I loved that they had all you need for the beach! You have to rent a car so that you can explore the island at your own will. There is a book that past guests have written in to give you tons of tips and great places to visit and to eat! Thank you so much!!

Super cute and meticulously thought out villa!
These owners have truly thought of everything. The villa was fully equipped much like your own home. Very clean and well located to coco plum beach and other beautiful beaches. Exactly like the pictures have shown and very timely communication with the owners. We needed a drill to put together a high chair we brought. It was delivered right away and the owners even offered to buy the high chair from us so they could have it for future guests! Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. I even used the hair straightener in the bathroom and it was better than the one I have at home!

Cozy accommodations
This place has all the comforts of home and is just a short drive from the airport, and about half distance from "both ends" of the island. Just across the road is the ocean and a very nice beach but not sure if it is actually accessible w/o passing thru the resident's property (whom we were vacationing with, so wasnt an issue for us). Property was clean, comfortable and just as described.

Wonderful Place!
The accommodations were as exactly shown. The property was quaint and enjoyable both interior and exterior. Very clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable and restful. Only suggestion is its is time for a new sofa--extremely uncomfortable and the lounge cushion section supports have failed. Otherwise--would not hesitate to recommend!
