About this cottage rental

Pink Sands Beach Cottage is a very charming beach cottage with a direct access to a breathtaking pink sandy beach. Most of the times you will be alone, and if it gets crowded, you may have two to six people around... 2.5 miles of stunning beach. On this part of this beach, at low tide, the ocean is a magnificent turquoise lagoon with large sand bars.
The cottage is ideally situated. Everything is within walking distance: supermarket, bakery, restaurant, bank, doctor, pharmacy...

This old-fashioned looking cottage gives visitors to Spanish Wells a real taste of island living. Located on quiet Saint George's Cay, this heaven is the perfect place for relaxation, for honeymooners, a romantic getaway, a quiet family vacation or if you just want to get away from the world for a while.

Spanish Wells is prosperous, clean, safe, and beautiful. Spanish Wells is a neat and clean little town with most homes sporting a fresh coat of pastel paint, a real island getaway. Spanish Wells is reminiscent of an idyllic Cape Cod fishing village with swaying coconut palm trees and bright bougainvillea as background.

Spanish Wells is one of the most quaint, clean, and prosperous islands in the Bahamas. It offers a rich history and old world and out island charm, and, yet, is very civilized. Spanish Wells is the envy of Eleuthera, The Bahamas, and even the region. It is part of the well known Eleuthera island.

The population is predominantly white native Bahamians, many of which are descendants of the first British settlers from the 1600's or Loyalists from the 1700's.

Spanish Wells offers everything you need: beautiful pink and white sand beaches, and water so clear that you can see your shadow on the bottom. Stretching from Spanish Wells to the northeast tip of mainland Eleuthera is a beautiful barrier reef called the Devil's Backbone which is inhabited with an abundance of marine life. This area is fantastic for snorkelers, and fishermen usually find that grouper and snapper are plentiful in this area. One mile off shore, there's great sport fishing. There's world-class bone fishing on the flats surrounding the island. One can walk around the island, wade for sand dollars on the North beach, purchase the fresh catch of the day from local fishermen, and browse the centuries-old village. Island tours offer a half-day or full day reef fishing, swim with the pigs, diving the shipwreck, bridge and cliff jumping, sand bar away from the shore...

Spanish Wells offers several supermarkets, a bakery, several restaurants or take away (which serve native Bahamian and American dishes at reasonable prices), bars and liquor stores, a medical clinic, a museum, variety stores; and of course, you can purchase fresh fish and lobster from fishermen!

Ideal temperatures all year round: Winter temperatures are generally in the 70's during the day and drop to the 60's at night. Summer daytime temperatures are generally in the 80's and drop to the 70's at night.

The home was appointed perfectly with everything needed for a visit. Full kitchen for any amount of cooking. The main sitting area is spacious and has wonderful passthrough from front to back yards. Plenty of light and breeze. Large upstairs space with additional beds and view of the beach. Owner was very responsive to needs.

We loved our time at Pink Sands. Location and beach access were perfect. The house had everything we needed. The outdoor shower is a feature we’ll look for in all of our next rentals…it was amazing. Host and caretaker were very responsive, which is always appreciated. We prefer this end of the island because it’s quieter and less condensed.

Elizabeth's house was clean, roomy and nice place for the three of us to stay on Spanish. Nice location right off the beach. Easy to get around the island with golf cart.

You could not ask for a better location. The house is conveniently located to the beach, to the grocery store and pharmacy, to medical care if needed, and to restaurants. The house is comfortable and quiet. The beach and the water are exceptional, both in terms of cleanliness and clarity. An excellent place to spend some time and relax.

Pink Sands Cottage is beautiful, and Elizabeth the nicest hostess. You´ll find everything you need at the house and more, to be honest. We didn´t have the best weather (windy and rainy), but yet we find Spanish Wells and Russel Island charming and beautiful. I thought about taking out a star because of the garden... it was in a deep need of maintinance during our stay. And then, on our last day at 8.00 am the garden keeper showed up. I would appreciated he arrived after 10.00 am, our check out time....
