We had such an enjoyable stay here. It’s very quiet and secluded so you will need a car if you want to get out around the island, however the place the Inn is in is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views and a very secluded beach. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. Highly recommend!

Disliked: Amenities
They said there was no breakfast or lunch available upon check in, but then changed their story after a day or two. Unfortunately the nearest restaurant was 30 miles away. We were far out in the boondocks and had to drive to Marsh Harbor to eat. We were the only guests in this hotel. The food was good once we discovered it was actually fully available days later. There was NO beach access nearby. We checked out after two days and relocated to Marsh Harbor. Although the hotel had a two day Cx policy, Expedia refused to honor that arrangement and charged us for three days even though the hotel management agreed to only charge us for two days. Expedia had some cockamamy excuse that they couldn't contact the hotel. I won’t be using Expedia anytime soon.

Great Place to Unwind

Located in the quiet residential community of Schooner Bay 27 miles south of Marsh Harbor, this inn is a haven for future incoming residents and visitors to Abaco. The accommodations and chef are first class and we immediately were catered to in every way. A rental car is a must.

A Hidden Gem

What a beautiful place! We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with The Sandpiper Inn. Located a short walk from the most beautiful sandy beach we’ve seen and on the other side, crashing waves and a pretty beach full of conch shells and sea remnants. Our meals were truly delicious, 5 star quality food prepared beautifully. We would love to return!

Tranquility Defined

If you are looking for a "get away from it all" peaceful vacation with walks on a quiet beach and swimming in the ocean this is the place for you! The service was outstanding and the staff were extremely attentive. The food was prepared to prefection and we enjoyed the local cuisine. Renting a car is a must if you want to explore outside of Schnooner Bay Village. Although there is internet, bring your own entertainment as it is truly an unplugged experience. We spent an entire week there and loved it, very relaxing!

Stayed for 5 nights and 6 days. The chef was amazing! The room had a view! Close to the beach as well! our food was delicious every meal! The chef taught us how to pick and open up coconuts, he even surprised us on our last morning with chilled fresh coconuts to drink. It was a perfect send off! We will make sure to come back in the future. I recommend this place, be okay with no Wi-Fi! Enjoy your stay!

300 a night with no television, and no internet

This was a terrible stay. 300 a night with no television in room, no internet (technically has internet but poor and non existent), cell servicr is terrible in area sonyou cant use your cell either. And to top all that off when we bought breakfast one morning a lady told us we cant eat our food in the room. Utterly ridiculous!

This property is located in a beautiful setting. The plantation style setting and rooms were very comfortable with a harbor or ocean view. The food was delicious. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We loved to walk the trails and beautiful beaches. One access to the beach had paddle boards and kayaks for your usage. This is a place to enjoy the stunning setting and nature.

This is a great old style Inn if you’re looking for a place to unwind. It’s part of a gated community focused on fishing. You need a car to get around but there is a beach within walking distance. The restaurant was the best part of the resort as our dinners were really wonderful and the staff were very nice. There are no tv’s, which we didn’t mind and no mini fridge in the rooms, which we would have liked.
