Frequently Asked Questions ─ What You Need to Know
Where do we buy groceries and supplies?
Most guests buy as much as they are permitted to pack aboard the plane at their last departure point. Contact your pilot to determine weight and size restrictions, which will be based on the number of passengers. If you are coming through Nassau, the grocery store near the airport will box your purchases. Fresh produce, canned goods, and paper products are available in Staniel Cay at The Blue Store, Pink Store or Isles General Store.
After arrival, how do we get from Staniel Cay to Compass Cay?
We will pick you up by boat. Transportation to and from Compass Cay is included in your rental price.
How many people can you accommodate?

Can we eat out?

Use of boats?
Boats, when available for guest use, a $500 damage deposit is needed if using the boat; the dockmaster will check you out on the boat and the outboard engine.

The boats are for complimentary use and do not reflex in the price of your rental villa, and fuel for the boat is purchased by the user.
