Saint Francis Resort & Marina

Saint Francis Resort & Marina is a rustic waterfront retreat on Stocking Island, George Town, in the Bahamas. The resort presents a rural out-island style shaped by quiet surroundings, simple accommodation and a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere. Its setting suits travellers who prefer an informal island stay over polished, full-service luxury.

The mood is unpretentious and sociable, with a family-oriented character and a focus on personal service. Accommodation is designed for comfort rather than elaborate room features. Options include king bungalows and houseboats, while the bungalows provide a spacious one-bedroom layout, a king-size bed, a walk-in shower, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. Some rooms overlook the Exuma Sound.

Food is available through several stay formats, including bed and breakfast, plans covering all meals and all-inclusive arrangements. The resort’s menus support a straightforward dining experience that fits the relaxed setting, rather than a formal restaurant-led holiday. Meal arrangements can therefore be matched with different styles of island travel, from a lighter accommodation package to a more inclusive stay.

The marina adds a practical boating dimension. Marina slips, mooring information and marina policies form part of the resort’s offering, making the property suitable for visiting boaters as well as guests staying on land. Tours and water taxi excursions are also listed among the available activities, giving the resort a connection to the surrounding waters and islands.

Saint Francis Resort & Marina is suited to adventure-minded travellers, couples and families looking for a peaceful base with a distinctly local, low-key character. It is less appropriate for visitors seeking luxury appointments, extensive resort facilities or a highly structured holiday. The appeal lies in the waterfront location, the simple accommodation, the marina and the chance to settle into a slower island routine.

As a green resort, Saint Francis also places part of its identity around a more environmentally conscious approach. The overall experience remains casual and welcoming, with the emphasis on the setting, island activities and an easygoing connection to Stocking Island.
