COTTAGE DESCRIPTION;
Our cottage is an affordable alternative to the ever increasing prices of short term rentals on the island. However the affordable price does not lack and upscale rental experience. The unit is a modern and chic, clean and bright in mostly white color tones, It is a brand new duplex completed in November 2025 with an upper and a lower unit. Note you are renting the UPPER UNIT. Eleuthera is a sleepy island, less traveled than other islands, so most likely there will be no one staying below you. It is a local Bahamian road with only two other friendly families. It is just off the Queen's Highway so it is very easy to get in and out. Some rentals are 15 - 20 minutes on horrible roads and that is not the case with us. The upper unit is open and airy with fun Caribbean colors and lots of windows to let the natural outside light come into the interior. It had beautiful tile floors and an open floor plan. It has free StarLink Satellite Wi-Fi with a very strong signal for your laptop or cell phone so you can work from the cottage and because it is Starlink you are not offline when the local provider goes down. There is a nice 50" flat screen Smart TV with built in 3000 channels int he MBR. The king size bed is very comfy with a high quality 12" memory foam mattress. There is a lovely fully functional kitchen to cook and is stocked with everything you need for full meals at home. Note there is a 4 burner cook top, but not an oven. In place of the oven is a combo counter top unit of microwave / air fryer / toaster oven for all your baking needs. There is a NutriBullet for smoothies or frozen Margaritas. There is a separate living area with a couch off the kitchen and there is exterior deck space with two chairs and a small table for morning coffee and breakfast. You can see the ocean from the second floor in the distance. As an added bonus you will have two full sets or snorkel gear and a charcoal grill is provided. We have both city water and a water cistern so you always have a back up water source if the city water goes out which at times it does on the island. We offer free trash pick up twice per week for all guests. The unit is furnished with some unique items like an Air Diffuser and a foot massager, etc. We provide roughly lots of photos with captions so you can really visualize the entire rental property.
SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY;
Unlike the 95% of rental properties that are owned by foreigners, this property is owned by the Rolle family who are local Bahamians. So the funds you are spending goes right back into the local economy versus being wired to some foreign bank account which we think is pretty darn awesome top help the economic state of an island in need.
PETS AND SUPPORT ANIMALS:
Please note we do not accept any pets, emotional, support or therapy animals due to extreme allergies/health related issues in our family.
ELEUTHERA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE;
If Miami Beach or Vegas is your thing we respectfully suggest you pick a different destination. Eleuthera is a sleepy island with some flaws; bad roads, dated infrastructure, there can be power / water / internet outages and the occasional gecko on the wall. The trade off is going back in time 75 years to an unspoiled gorgeous island where you will explore the most stunning beaches you have ever seen and have them usually all to yourself. The seafood is fantastically good. The people are warm and genuine, crime is very low and the vibe is super chill. We love it and so do 95% of our guests since 2004 when we began renting on the island.
