About this cottage rental

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 Banana Beach Estates gate. 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.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Orchid Cottage was wonderful. Checking in was a bit rough and we had a few issues with our car rental, but after that everything went smoothly. We had our own private beach, the cottage was clean and comfortable. All of the people on the island were very friendly and helpful. The change of pace and the peace on the island was definitely needed and appreciated. Most of the restaurants we went to were great. The food is expensive but of good quality. We enjoyed exploring everything Eleuthera had to offer. Renting a car so that you have full access to the island and checking out some of the wonderful foods trucks is a must!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have had the pleasure of staying at Orchid cottage five times over the years and it never disappoints. The cottage is always top notch spotless when we arrive and we are greeted by the caretaker whom is a seasoned pro. It is located on Old Banks road, which in my mind is the best place to be as it is very quiet and steps away from pink sand beach. The cottage is very comfortable making it a pleasure to hang out and cook fresh caught fish, do some island crafting and enjoy a cocktail.Our three weeks was perfect, but never seems long enough. Until next tyme Island of Freedom. ❤️🇧🇸❤️

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had the pleasure of staying at Orchid Cottage for the month of February. Place was as advertised. A well-maintained cottage with everything you could need for your stay. Set on corner of Old Banks Road and a gated road. Very little traffic and 100 yards for the ocean. Lachandra is an outstanding hostess. Also rented my car from Lachandra. The entire process was seamless. Is a great location on the island. About 4 miles north of Gov. Harbor. Just a short drive to 1648, Buccaneers, Tippys, The Deck, and gas station, grocery store, and liquor store. A perfect spot for those looking for a place to land at night and regroup for the next day.

My husband and I had an amazing stay. There was a slight mix up upon our arrival and the house was not ready for us when we arrived, but Lachadra came over immediately to help and we were able to stay at the larger property next door for a night which was nice. Orchid Cottage was the perfect size for my husband and I and had all the necessary amenities. We spent our time exploring the island via the rental car provided. Someone met us at the airport with the car and it was extremely convenient and a quick process. We visited Preachers Cave, The Sapphire Blue Hole, The Queens Baths, and several beautiful beaches including Ten Bay which I highly recommend. Pascal’s Restaurant is a quick trip down the back dirt road adjacent to the house which was fun! The best part of the stay was the breathtaking private beach just a couple minutes walk from the house. Crystal clear water, the softest pink sand you’ve ever stepped foot on and awesome snorkeling. We only saw a couple people on the beach the whole week! The beach chairs, snorkeling gear and towels provided were very appreciated. My tips for those who visit Eleuthera for the first time would be explore the island!, bring bug spray (and wear it), and know that it is totally normal for the power to go off several times during your stay (it never lasts too long). Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We shall return
