Property Description

Orchid Cottage is a fully air conditioned, bright and lovely Bahamian cottage, on 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 the front deck and a magnificent ocean view unfolds.

Upon arrival, our property managers will meet you at the airport and lead you to Orchid Cottage. 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 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 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 a/c units 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. An additional shower is located outside by the deck.

Enjoy relaxing on the outdoor sectional, 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 tanning, shelling, wading by the reef, snorkeling, watching the dolphins, boogie boarding, or building sandcastles. A short drive away is French Leave Beach, Twin Coves, the Naval Beach, and the calm waters of Cocodimama. The choices are endless.

Plus, you are only a short walk from Sky Beach Club, with Pascal's Restaurant, Sammy’s swim-up 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.

We enjoyed our week respite at Orchid Cottage. The place was lovely and well equipped. The front porch was a lovely place to gather to start and end the day. Location was great to explore north and south. Would definitely stay there again.

    Thank you for choosing Orchid Cottage for your week respite. We're glad to hear that the front porch became a favourite gathering place and that our central location on Eleuthera allowed for lots of exploring. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

nicholas m. from United States recommends this vacation rental.


The Orchid Cottage was the perfect, cozy and clean place for our 3 days spent in Eleuthera. We were welcomed with a snack, water and cold Bahamian drinks. The cottage is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach that was basically private. The hosts provided beach chairs, towels, snorkeling gear and more! They were also extremely helpful with suggesting places to go, and answering all our questions. We also felt very safe as the cottage is located in a gated community. We had a great experience and would highly recommend. Thank you!




  • Manager Responded on 2/1/2023


    It was wonderful having you stay at Orchid Cottage. We are so happy that you felt safe and well taken care of during your stay. Our staff loves to provide complimentary snacks and cold Bahamian drinks for our guests. After a long trip, we want you to feel relaxed and welcomed. The quick access to our beach makes it possible to enjoy a morning dip in the Atlantic, beachcombing, and soaking up the sun. We look forward to welcoming you back to Eleuthera.

The Orchid cottage is equipped with all that is needed for a most comfortable stay. Beautiful touches to a space well cared for. Spent a great deal of time on the front porch curled up with a good book listening to the roar of the Atlantic. The beach and the swimming absolutely incredible! Old Banks road is the perfect pathway for a stroll to visit Pascal’s, the neighbourhood bar and grill where you will be welcomed like an old friend! We had a most wonderful time!




  • Manager Responded on 2/1/2023


    It was lovely having you stay at Orchid Cottage. It's nice to see that you enjoyed all that the cottage and island has to offer, taking advantage of the beautiful beach, Pascal's Restaurant, and Old Banks Road's tropical surroundings. We take great care of the cottage, and our staff is dedicated to making it a comfortable get-away for all of our guests. All of the linens, bedding, and towels are chosen to provide a relaxing stay for everyone. Thank you for leaving a beautiful piece of your artwork. I'm most certain that our future guests will enjoy your island creation. We look forward to welcoming you back to Orchid Cottage very soon.

    Thank you for choosing to stay at Orchid Cottage with your family of four. The beaches really are amazing, and our central location does make it easy to explore north and south.

Orchid Cottage is a light, peaceful gem. The house is steps from the Atlantic -and you fall asleep listening to the waves. We particularly enjoyed the porch for watching birds, reading, drinking coffee. Governor's Harbor is minutes away. Highlights include the Buccaneer's Club (the best conch fritters) , Island Farms fresh vegetables and bread, Location gift shop, and a day snorkeling and fishing with Big Mac. The house is just as pictured and includes everything you might need. Lachandra was welcoming and helpful. This was our first time in Eleuthera, and we can't wait to return.

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.

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!

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.

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!
