About this property

Peaceful Waterside Eco-Friendly Guest House on Stocking Island

A pavilion at the highest point on the property, 65 feet, offers a panoramic view of Elizabeth Harbor, the neighboring islands, and open waters of the ocean. Looking down on the beach directly behind Kevalli House, you can see a very rare stromatolite reef, thought to be one of the oldest forms of life on the planet and known to exist in just a few places in the world. At low tide they form beautiful natural soaking pools along the shore, which can be quite a relaxing place to enjoy the crystal clear waters.

The Kevalli House Guest House is a newly renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath house located on the eastern side of the property. The house provides a peaceful, private waterside living experience for long or short-term rental. It is ideal for a family of four with a large living space and full-sized kitchen, but is also a great spot for a couple's get-away. The house has an airy, screened-in wrap around porch and sun deck with closeup views of Exuma's famously crystal blue waters. There are several places to enjoy an evening of outdoor dining, a relaxing afternoon, or a morning meditation in the sun. Beautiful recycled cedar was used on the interior walls creating a casual island living feel and freshness.

Walkways from the guest house lead you through beautiful natural foliage to the pavilion and the covered beach deck and beach gate. On the very front of the property is a 200 foot long fixed dock which provides access to the cove. This protected body of water features two of the famous Bahamian blue holes. Mystery Cave is considered one of the best snorkeling spots in the area and is within snorkeling distance of the dock, or you may choose to use some of the kayaks or paddleboards that are available. Great snorkeling is also found 'ocean-side'. A floating dock provides access for small boats.

Kevalli House is a very eco-friendly choice. We are 99% solar-powered and meet our water needs by collecting rain water. We try to limit our impact on the environment as much as possible by using environmentally-friendly cleaning products, recycling, reusing, and reducing. Our paths are lit with solar-powered lights, fans and island breezes keep our rooms cool, and numerous windows catch evening breezes very effectively.

A 20 minute cab ride takes you from the airport to the government dock in George Town where the water taxi picks you up for the ride to Kevalli House. In George Town there are numerous businesses, including a well-stocked grocery store, car rental, boat rental, straw market, library, and a nice variety of restaurants. The Bahamas has over 300 sunny days a year, crystal clear warm water, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, one of which is right in the backyard of Kevalli House.

Kevalli House is the best choice for a tranquil island experience, with all of the comforts and natural amenities Exuma has to offer.

Paradise
The beach on this island truly is one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. The swimming and beach walks there are world-class. The house was spotlessly clean and comfortable in all ways. The caretaker was friendly and always available to answer our questions. It was altogether a great vacation. Would give six stars if I could.

Amazing views
Norman is an amazing property manager, location is great if you have a boat or just plan on relaxing on the beach. Lots to do in the area for swimming snorkeling etc. Could use some updating, sharp utensils and maybe a 4 slice toaster. We had lots of water and the trails are amazing through the property. 1 of the best views at the top of the hill.

Great Week
An unbelievable experience. The island property is so unique in that it sits with views of the harbor but you have full beach access only a couple minutes walk. You're only a 10 min boat ride to Georgetown but can enjoy your privacy as well. We were there to spearfish and the dock facility at the house for our rented boat was great. Norman, the property manager was very helpful. The house was a bit rustic but comfortably met all our needs. Can't recommend Keavli house enough.

Simply Magical Experience
We just returned from a fantastic stay at Kevali House. My wife and four children (ages 11-18) stayed in the guest cottage: 3 bedroom/2 bathrooms. Stocking Island is a remote paradise 1.5 miles from Exuma. The property is gorgeous. The guest cottage sits just above the water level on a quiet cove. A 0.1 mile sand path leads to the back side of Stocking where unspoiled beaches await you. The cottage has the feel of a rustic cabin, off-the-grid. Great outdoor space with screened in porches that wrap around the house. There are no cars, no roads, and no people. Pictures FAIL to highlight the beautiful setting. There are no stores on the island. It is necessary to take a boat to the grocery store on Exuma; this was all explained to us in advance and we loved the adventure. Kayaks were available for use; we were out there every day. Norman, the property's caretaker, was very friendly and super helpful. We rented a boat for two days and docked it at Kevali. We highly recommend this eco-friendly spot. Great family memories!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Cronin

Host profile image
Bob Cronin is the owner of Kevalli House. After retiring from an active business life and many years of the cruising life, Bob fell in love with the beautiful waters of Exuma and the extraordinary property he calls Kevalli House. Over the last 6 years Bob has been working to renovate and restore this unique property.

Why they chose this property

The Exuma Islands of the Bahamas have the most beautiful crystal, clear waters Bob has come across in all his travels. Exuma is a safe community and very welcoming to visitors. Stocking Island is pristine and remote, yet is conveniently located 1.5 miles from George Town, Great Exuma. Direct flights from Nassau, Florida (Miami and Fort Lauderdale), Atlanta, and Toronto make Great Exuma and Kevalli House very accessible.

What makes this property unique

Kevalli House has direct, private access to both Elizabeth Harbour and a beautiful, sandy 2.5 mile long beach. Views of the water and ocean breezes are found everywhere. Kevalli House was originally developed in the 1960s with sustainability in mind. The property is entirely off the grid, with solar and rain catchment systems. Native trees, amazing stonework, and the numerous hues of blue in the sky and waters provide a backdrop or peace and tranquility.
