We love to travel, explore and enjoy many outdoor activities - boating, SUP boarding, kayaking, fishing, shelling are just a few of our favourite things to do!
The world we live in spins so quickly, we are always in a rush to get somewhere, chasing the next moment instead of enjoying the moment we are in. Sometimes you need to simply slow down. There are no better places than Great Exuma, The Bahamas or Muskoka, Ontario, Canada to go outside, feel the sun rays, breathe fresh air, do some soul searching and experience an incredible vacation. We welcome you to our slice of paradise where you can relax and unwind and experience your next travel adventure.
We would love to get to know you and help plan your ultimate, unique and unforgettable vacation.
We are committed to providing our guests with prompt responses. Contact us for a direct booking for either of our vacation rentals.

Review: July 2024 Thank you so much for the hospitality. Canuck Palms was perfect for our family of 4. This was our second trip and knew that we wanted a place that was close to cocoplum beach (our favorite). The location is great. 2 minutes to Bowes Convenient Store that we visited often ( we have 2 young kids) and Rolle on the Curve, a take out restaurant that was also visited often. The house was impecable and the communications before and after with the host unbeatable. Canuck Palms has everything you will need. There is a closet packed with beach items ( we contributed with a few baby floaties & toys), chairs, coolers, toys, & snorkeling gear all there! Highly recommend Heather & Brett’s place! You will not be disappointed .
Review: July 2024 Perfect little place. We had a blast! Loved how close the private beach was to the house. We will be back! :)
Review: June 2024 Brett & Heather were amazing hosts. They were quick to respond to our questions and even provided great recommendations. Their home is im a great location but i highly recommend a rental. Would definitely stay here again! We had our 1 year old with us and they had everything we needed for our small family.
Review: April 2024 A super lovely cottage a short walk from the beach with everything you need and more for a lovely Bahamas stay. Given how expensive the Bahamas is, its great value for money, we loved it here 😊
Review: April 2024 It was very nice house, close to where we needed to be, it was very relaxing and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this house to others. Had a lot of family down there in different locations and by far, this house stood out far above any houses we were in. And our son who has been down there each year for the last 5 years was impressed on how nice and clean the house was.
Review: March 2024 Exuma is by and large one of the most beautiful destinations we’ve been to. We were super lucky to book Canuck Palms and will again if we ever come back. Super clean, really easy to get in touch with Heather and Brett, close to the airport and easy enough to get to. Thank you!!!!
Review: March 2024 Awesome!
Review: Easy and relaxed! July 2024
Cozy, homey and perfect for a quiet getaway. Delivers as described. 👍
Review: Canuck Palms! May 2024
Exuma is a beautiful island. The home was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the outside deck. The home owners were very fast to respond whenever we had a question. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Review: Exuma Experience! March 2024
We have had a great stay at canuck palms nice house, golf nearby, good bonefishing, beautiful beaches!
Review: Travelling with children! February 2024
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!). This is truly a turn key vacation spot and we can’t wait to return!
Review: January 2024 Second year at Canuck Palms and it’s a great house. Very comfortable and has all the beach toys. Highly recommend.
Review: Great Stay at Canuck Palms! January 2024 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.
Review: Amazing! March 2024 Our family stayed here in February and had an amazing time! Brett and Heather were the perfect hosts and immediately responded to any requests/questions we had. We toured the island and took in many of the sights and restaurants recommended by them and were not disappointed! The home itself is spotless, well appointed and less than a minute from the beach. You can even hear the waves crashing from the back deck. The island is stunning, with indescribable beaches and views. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us..we can wait to return!
Review: Ideal Vacation Rental! December 2023 From the comfortable beds, the high end linens, the extreme level of cleanliness, the well stocked kitchen and all the little extras like a blue tooth speaker, island cell phone and beach decor, you will feel right at home at Canuck Palms. The outdoor shower is great after a day the beach. The location is very convenient for daily exploring and getting around is pretty simple. Heather and Brent were excellent hosts and recommended some of their favourites spots which is helpful on your first visit to Exumas. We loved our time; check-in and out was very smooth and easy. Hoping a visit to Canuck Palms is now an annual trip!
Review: Fantastic home in a tropical paradise! September 2023 We stayed on the island for a week. The house is very easy to reach and is a two minute walk from the nearest beach. The house is beautiful, very clean and equipped with any utensil (there is also beach equipment). The owners are available 24 hours a day, they respond immediately, solving any problems. We could not have made a better choice and this beautiful home helped make our vacation in the paradise of Exuma even more magical!
Review: June 2024 This is the perfect spot for a getaway. Minutes from the airport and steps to the beach. The owners are super responsive and will make sure the no contact check in is a bliss. Definitely coming back!
Review: May 2024 Absolutely phenomenal - Heather and Brett are remarkable, quick responses and for someone like my husband who is a neat freak and usually cleans air bnbs before we get settled, super clean. Most definitely recommend!
Review: February 2024 Most beautiful Island get-away and cozy home on Great Exuma Cay! Ideal location- 8 minutes from airport, central to everything! Cozy home with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Has ALL amenities needed...for relaxing, cooking and pampering oneself. Great bathtub and shower....a very clean house. Love that it was a 2 min walk to the beach. The hosts were amazing and made us feel very welcome. We were well prepped for our stay...and had no issues! Would highly recommend staying at Canuck Palms!!
