Mary R. from Cincinnati, OH United States recommends this vacation rental.


Me and my hubs thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Key Lime Cottage was in a lovely location. I can not imagine another location being better. The cottage was comfortable and supplied with all we needed. We met the caretakers at their Friday/Saturday Bar-b-que and we're the loveliest people. I highly recommend stopping for their food.

A major highlight was the locals. Everyone was warm, friendly and delightful to talk to. I loved the relaxed vibe on the island. There were no fast food or restaurant chains in Eleuthera. I loved all the secluded beaches. A busy beach might have had 12-15 people. the views were all breathtaking.

We traveled the island north to south stopping at different beaches, Twin Coves, Surfers Beach, Ten Bay, Tay Bay, Rainbow Bay, Tippy's beach, Harbor Island, to name a few. We explored caves and snorkeled and met other vacationers.

We ate at Tippy's Restaurant, Harbor Pointe, Delish restaurant, Rainbow Inn restaurant, and several small take out places like DJ's Cafe and Cravings. I would recommend them all.

I recommend Eleuthera Island and Key Lime Cottage to friends, family, and strangers.

Frank C. from Valhalla, NY US recommends this vacation rental.


The overall experience in our Eleuthera vacation and our stay at Key Lime Cottage was terrific. Key Lime Cottage was a very nice play to stay in. Nicely detailed, plenty of room for my wife and I. We loved having breakfast each morning on the veranda. Also, the very short 500 ft. walk to Rainbow Beach each morning was super cool. We also liked that the location of the cottage was central to many of the places north and south that we ended up going to each day. But also, we spent two of our 10 days right there on Rainbow Bay Beach just relaxing in the sun, wading in the clear waters and snorkeling. The local team as well as the owner and management team was always super responsive. A really terrific vacation. Thanks so much!

Absolutely loved our stay at Key Lime Cottage. Felt right at home. Great location, easy walk to beautiful beach, central location for exploring other beaches and towns. Well furnished home, quick response to repair hot water issue. Caretaker Brenda and her team were lovely and did a great job.

Loved the front porch with sun or shade.

Spent a very relaxing week here. I don't hesitate to recommend it.

Karen W. from Grovetown, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.


The Key Lime Cottage in Rainbow Bay was the perfect little spot for our anniversary trip. The house is located across the street from one of the best beaches on Eleuthera. There’s a little trail directly across the street to the beach. You are secluded by landscaping so it feels super private. The home had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.

Michael H. from Burlington, ON Unknown recommends this vacation rental.


Very nice, we would come back anytime. Sarah was quick with all correspondence. Brenda and Lisa management staff were helpful. I wish they would bury 3.5 % credit card charge ln their nightly cost (the only way you may pay and your charged for it. I must have missed that class in good business 101. It would be kinder and more friendly if VRBO just hide it, we are travelers not cash targets for the cost +++.




  • Manager Responded on 1/29/2023


    We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We agree completely about the credit card fees. Next time please ask us about paying by e-check, which would enable you to avoid those fees completely!

A guest from Punta Groda, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.


The Rainbow Bay beach is in a very protected cove. Its calm when other beaches are rough. Easy walk.

House was as represented, could use a bit of updating. Outside shower was great after coming back from swimming. The deck is very comfortable on hot afternoons when there is a breeze, you can hear the ocean, but only a sliver of water shows above the vegetation between house and beach.

Plenty of grocery stores, restaurants and beaches to explore north and south of this location. Prices were double what we were expecting for food, both in restaurants and grocery stores, the good news was there were no shortages.

My husband and I stayed at Key Lime Cottage for 21 days in April. The house was perfect for us! It is simple, well maintained, clean and right across the road from one of Eleuthera’s best beaches. The caretakers, Brenda and Billy Stubbs are so wonderful and helpful, the owner was also very nice. This was our 5th trip to Eleuthera and WE WILL BE BACK! We hope you get the chance to enjoy it too!

Well situated near Rainbow Bow Bay beach, one of the most beautiful and best swimming and snorkeling beaches on Eleuthera. Very clean and comfortable home. Well maintained with two bedrooms and two baths. Local management was very friendly and helpful. No problem with check in or check out. Home is in the nice neighborhood of Rainbow Bay and about five miles from the town of James Cistern which several small grocery stores.
Would stay at Key Lime Cottage again.
