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.

We were truly looking forward to the stay on Stocking Island but in the end it was not for us.We were grateful for Allison and Norman’s responsiveness and kindness throughout and when we decided to leave early, Allison handled it with integrity; The location is somewhat isolated with access to food, beaches, and activities that depend on coordinating a water taxi (50 RT) from Great Exuma or renting a skiff at 300/day. The taxi does not run on a set schedule and stops at dark, which made meals and daily logistics a bit complicated. (kayaking might be an option but it was a chilly/rough seas during our stay).We rented a skiff for a day (loved Minn’s), the highlight of our trip, but at least for us, consistent boat access is essential to fully enjoy this location.The open windows, harbor views, covered deck, and fresh breeze were lovely. However, the cabin itself is weathered and in need of maintenance and updates; which I was told is in process. You can walk to the beautiful and wild Atlantic side, watch the sunsets from the covered decks, and there is a hiking trail to Coconut Club for a lovely day by the Caribbean. Beyond that, beach access is limited without a boat.In the end, we found ourselves spending more time coordinating transportation and meals than relaxing, which led us to shorten our stay.This property may be a great fit for travelers seeking true remoteness, boat-based access, and a true cabin by the harbor feel.

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!

Secluded and relaxing with many things to do if you wish
My husband and I spent three nights at Atlantis before traveling to Stocking Island. What a different experience! The flight to Exuma airport and taxi to Georgetown are easy. We stopped at Exuma Market for groceries and a nearby liquor store before making the trip to Stocking Island. I highly recommend doing this. The water taxi service is easy from Government Dock (we were there around 11AM), and our driver had no issue locating Kevalli House. The manager Norman met us and was very helpful throughout our stay.
The island is peaceful and very secluded. There are other guests and people docked in the harbour, but the beach was often "just ours". This isn't a luxury property, but the house is unique and impressive. Two king beds and very comfortable sheets and pillows were a treat. There are also two bathrooms and two additional twin beds. We made several meals ourselves on the outdoor grill (screened in porch is great at night due to mosquitoes).
Things to do: relax on your porch which is harbour side (sunset side). 5 minute walk to the Atlantic beach side (images of the ocean are 5 min walk away, images of harbour are right off your house). It was VERY windy during our stay, so we found the beach better than the gazebo which was just a wind tunnel. Bring flashlights if you want to check out the ocean at night (stars everywhere!) Get a hiking map from Georgetown or download. Paths are semi-marked but I'd label them as a more adventurous hike versus easy. Kevalli House provides kayaks, snorkel gear, and flippers. The Blue Hole is right off the house (people come from all over for this, so it was very cool to have right by us). Norman can take you into town if you want to book any other tours/trips or rent a boat from Minns. Everyone is very helpful, so don't let the boat ride to and from Georgetown keep you from booking this place!
Meals out: Sunset kept us eating a bit earlier than usual. We went to the Pig Roast at Chat N Chill. This is a kayak ride away or a hike. BLU at Lumina Point is also a kayak ride away or a longer hike down the beach and past the mangroves. We opted for a late lunch - open 11AM-4PM and then reopens at 6PM for dinner.

Awesome
Had a great time, super relaxing and just beautiful. Bonus was that the house had an extra bedroom and bathroom than what was listed. If you're looking for total tranquility, this is the house for you.
