Beach Walk Cottage is beautifully landscaped with hibiscus, bougainvillea, Queen Emma Lilies and Manila, Coconut and Ceiling Wax Palms. The interior is decorated with many tropical paintings done by our family including a mural in the bar area. There’s a screened in porch and a wonderful deck for your morning coffee, evening cocktails or a barbecue. This is the perfect place to meet new friends too! You’ll be amazed at how nice everyone is on Guana.

Great Guana Cay has some of the most beautiful beaches in all of the Bahamas. Beach Walk Cottage is very close to one of the best! We’re a 2 minute walk to the beach and if you get thirsty, Nippers is another 2 or 3 minutes from there! If it’s low tide you should be able to walk miles on the white, sandy beach, sometimes without seeing another person! There’s also some great snorkeling just off the beach so make sure you bring your gear (you can rent it at Dive Guana too).

Wonderful restaurants, from the super casual to upscale, are nearby. Nippers and Grabbers are a 5 minutes walk away. Sea Shore Villas features wonderful home cooked meals. Orchid Bay and Docksiders are a bit further away from Beach Walk Cottage but so worth it! Some of our favorites include: Lobster Salad at Nippers, Seared Ahi at Grabbers, the Carmelized Pear and Gorgonzola Salad at Orchid Bay, and the Buffalo Shrimp & Rack of Lamb at Docksiders. It’s amazing how good the food is on Guana! If you're planning on cooking in, visit Milo at his corner stand for fresh fruits and vegetables.

If you want to explore and don’t have a boat, a trip with Troy at Dive Guana is a must! If you do have a boat, make sure to head up to Spoil Bank Cay (aka Shell Island) for some beachcombing, there are SO many shells. Don’t forget to bring a cooler of Kalik, because you’ll want to spend some time there! Another fun day on the boat would be a trip to Hopetown on Elbow Cay to tour the lighthouse and museum, have some lunch and then spend the afternoon at Tahiti Beach. If you’re adventurous, drive the boat down to North Pelican Cay or the beach at Tilloo Bank and then have drinks and some smoked fish dip at Cracker P’s on Lubbers. Day sails are available with Cruise Abaco. They will even pick you up on Guana. There are so many things to do!

If you’re into fishing, you’ll love Abaco. There's always something to catch. Inside the sea of abaco; bonefish, snapper, and triggerfish. Just offshore, there's marlin, tuna, wahoo, and dolphinfish, depending on the season. We caught all of the fish on our website from a rental boat in just a few trips, but you'll need their permission to go in the open ocean, even if you are an experienced boater.  Be sure to listen to The Cruisers Net in the morning for real time weather and condition reports before you head out. Chances are you'll be ‘home’ by noon with a nice sized fish. It doesn’t get much better than that! There are many good charter captains to take you out for the day as well.

Speaking of The Cruisers Net, it’s a great way to check the weather, hear about restaurant specials, learn about life in Abaco and have a few laughs. Just tune the VHF to channel 68 at 8:15 each morning to hear Pattie’s cheerful voice or click the link to hear it on the internet!

The Abaco Forum is a great way to meet other like minded Abacoholics and learn a lot about the islands. If you'll be on the water, a  Dodge Abaco Cruising Guide is a must with charts, tides, waypoints, and other essential information.

 We’re confident that you will love our little spot in paradise and we’ll do our best to make your trip the best ever!
