Availability DetailsProperty Description
Orchid Cottage is a bright and lovely Bahamian cottage on a quaint cottage road (Old Banks Road) steps from the Atlantic Ocean beach. It is surrounded by swaying palm trees, beautiful foliage, and tropical flowers. Walk two minutes from your front deck and a magnificent ocean view unfolds. Orchid cottage is fully air-conditioned.
Our property managers will meet you at the airport and lead you to Orchid Cottage. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with complimentary Bahamian drinks and appetizers. Our staff is utterly lovely, and they make every effort to make sure you are well taken care of. Save on booking fees by reserving through Eleuthera Vacation Rentals and paying the owner directly by check or PayPal.
The open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen areas allow your entire group to interact during cooking, eating, and family activities. The turquoise and pineapple accents bring a coastal feel to the cottage. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need to prepare your meals and it offers the convenience of a washing machine. The cathedral ceiling gives the cottage an airy feeling. Enjoy the Smart TV with access to your Netflix account or use our NEW Fire Stick with numerous international and local channels as well as FREE Pay Per View movies. Connect to the web by way of free internet.
One bedroom has a new memory foam queen bed and the second has a king bed, that can be converted into two twin beds. The entire cottage is equipped with ceiling fans along with mini splits in the bedrooms & loft. Beautiful linens, bath towels, and beach towels have been carefully selected to make your stay comfortable. Between the two bedrooms is a coastal three-piece bathroom. The large walk-in shower has sea glass, shells, and pebbles from the Atlantic Ocean embedded in the floor.
Enjoy relaxing on the outdoor sectional, while reading a delightful book. Drink your morning coffee or sip on an island cocktail, as you listen to the ocean's waves lapping on the shore. In the evenings, the deck is a terrific location to gaze at the infinite numbers of stars in the dark Eleuthera sky. The charcoal grill can be used to prepare the most delicious fresh fish, as the kids play on the grass, or family members take a wonderful walk along our cottage road. Enjoy the tropical location of Old Banks Road, get away from the crowds, and marvel at the variety of tropical flora and fauna.
A short walk along the path takes you to one of the most amazing, pink sand beaches in the world. Bring along the beach chairs and a cooler to enjoy hours and hours of fun. Your first sighting of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean will take your breath away. This incredible beach can be traveled for miles. Spend your day sun tanning, shelling, exploring the reef, snorkeling, watching the dolphins, boogie boarding, or building sandcastles. A short drive away is French Leave Beach, Twin Coves, Naval Beach, and the calm waters of Cocodimama. The choices are endless.
Plus, you are only a short walk down the beach from Sky Beach Club, with its excellent restaurant, Sammy’s bar, oceanfront infinity pool, hot tub, and resort amenities. And Orchid Cottage is only a few minutes' drive from the lovely town of Governor's Harbour, with its century homes, restaurants, stores, and library.
If you require more space, our three-bedroom house (Shangri-La) is also available. It has an open concept design with soaring ceilings and is located a short distance from Orchid Cottage. Each property offers nice privacy, with large palm trees and foliage between the two. Shangri-La and Orchid Cottage would allow your large group extended space and privacy.

Julie S. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
We love the cottage! We've been staying here since 2013. It is perfect for our needs. Close to the Ocean and GH, which has restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, gas and more. And it's in the middle of the island so not far to go to beaches north or south.
The property managers are the very best. They have become friends over the years. You will not find better owners. They truly want you to have the best experience during your stay. And will do everything
to remedy any concerns you may have during your stay.
The cottage is clean and has everything you need for
meals, sleeping and going to the beach. We continue to recommend the cottage to all our friends and family.

A guest from Cherry Hills Village, CO United States recommends this vacation rental.
As we returned for another stay at Orchid Cottage we were impressed with all of the improvements that have been done. The towels are excellent! The little details of dishes, drawer pulls, pillows, flamingo potholders .... everything shows such love and care put into this home. Working with Eleuthera Vacation Rentals is always easy and a pleasure. Quick response time and excellent service. We were just two people and Orchid Cottage met all of our needs. We can hardly wait to return to Eleuthera!
Manager Responded on 4/2/2021

Trent & Lisa W. from La Jolla, CA Bahamas recommends this vacation rental.
Orchid Cottage was the sweetest spot for our holiday on Eleuthera. Centrally located near Governor’s Harbour we were a short drive from the market, shops and restaurants. The within a 1 minute walk to the beach was awesome. We enjoyed our low tide and Old Banks Road walks. The owner, Shawna, was so kind and accommodating - answering all our questions and providing great guidance and recommendations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Orchid Cottage and the island of Eleuthera were wonderful. The cottage itself is spacious for a couple or a family with small children and has everything you would need. Perfectly located near to the beach for early morning walks. A rental car is most definitely needed to get around and for adventuring as there is lots to see on the island.
