I only have accolades for both Scott, our host and our fishing guide / property caretaker Randy. Scott was very helpful, communicative and available for any questions and was super quick to respond! The location of his cottage is in walking distance to the airport, situated right on the water with very friendly neighbors. Always a breeze, sandy walkable beach with a double kayak stand-up paddle boards outfitted for fishing, snorkel equipment and Adirondack chairs to take in the views and beach cruiser bikes for exploring the island.He goes the extra mile by setting up a zoom call prior to arrival to map out all the island highlights including markets for basic needs, liquor stores, restaurants offering to make dinner reservations for us at Swains fishing lodge using Harry for taxi transport during our stay.Randy is not only a local expert fishing guide who knows everything about the island but is a really fun guy to spend time with! Always came with a smile a laugh and catered to our every need.By the time we left, a little over a week stay, we knew everyone on the island and they knew us. We’d just say we’re staying at Scotts and they all welcomed us. Not to be missed is Shines local hangout where you’ll find Rochelle serving up cold beers and the best conch salad. They even cooked up our lobster we caught.Randy will always put you on fish - The little island of Mangrove Cay earned its name as “the bone fishing capItal of the world” we’ll definitely be back !
