Avis Beautiful Beach Eco-Cottage on Stocking Island

The property was amazing and the caretaker, Norman, was wonderful. He was very helpful, took us back and fourth to main island whenever we wanted to go. We were able to tie up to the dock, which was very helpful for us. The property could use a little bit of maintenance but otherwise was really nice.

Our host was excellent with help on things to do and places to go. A little limited on amenities but the location makes up for it. We had the beach to ourselves and loved having our morning coffee at the upper gazebo looking over the ocean.

House was clean and and very nice. The only thing that this property needs more of is fans. The evenings were a bit muggy and hot, so a few more fans would have been nice. Norman is excellent, always there to taxi you to town and full of great information. We will be back!. Bob was very responsive with all our questions, great to do business with. Thanks for everything, great memories for our family!

We had an amazing time staying on Stocking Island. As my kids (ages 11 &13) said, all the things we wanted to do from snorkeling, hiking, swimming, paddle boarding to climbing a tree were all right at our fingertips and we could do without having to rent an item or drive to it. That was a huge bonus! Kevalli House was a clean, wonderful property with amazing views -- we loved climbing up to the Pavillion! And a bonus was the ping pong table at the Cottages -- I don't think my kids asked for screen time once while staying at Kevalli. Bob was a knowledgeable and kind host! We loved him sharing his home and Stocking Island with us. As Bob says, this is definitely a place to be independent, which we loved, but we had to be organized too, especially with meals. The kitchen we had was simple, and we were able to get good food supplies from George Town, but going out to a restaurant took some planning. It was lots of fun to kayak to Chat and Chill and see/feed the stingrays.

Ok. I am at a point where I want to experience real. Meet real people and do real things. This is one of those places. Dave took us in a dingy to st Francis for open mic night. Snorkel from the dock. Talk to people from all over the world that have a passion for boating like Philip and Bridget that shared a bottle of wine with us on our last night. The house is comfortable. Lots of room to spread out. Groceries, bone fishing and scuba are a $15 taxi ride away. The property and it’s surrounding wilderness are stunning. 300 or 400 ft takes you from the Atlantic side to the harbor. We make it a rule not to return to the same place twice. We will come back here.

We had a lovely time at this very comfortable cottage. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was roomy & the grounds & pavilions provided amazing views and access to the beach. The trails around the island are so fun to explore! The things I see that could be improved: *provide more than 2 bath towels per room. The island is damp and the towels were a bit musty by the end of the trip, even hanging them on the line to dry. *provide a small boat to get to Chat n Chill or Georgetown or some of the other beaches on the island since access is very limited from Kevalli by foot (Norman was great to help us when we needed a ride, but we would have gotten to do more had we our own boat) We used the kayaks and paddle boards provided but several days were very windy and this made it very difficult to get anywhere. *an electric coffee maker would be nice (we had a press and it was ok, but a coffee maker would have been better) We loved the cottage and the island and Norman was always helpful when we needed a ride or anything at all. We would come back here again for sure!!
