A unique piece of paradise in North Bimini, “Ernie’s” (named for Ernest Hemingway, who frequented Bimini and found inspiration here for his sea-faring tales) villa has three big comfortable bedrooms, a large open bright living space, and a full open kitchen for big dinner parties, nestled in a lush half-acre enclave. Enjoy our deck right on the water with a full-size grill. The property has 100 feet of waterfront and a large dock. Includes tie-up for a boat up to about 40 feet; low tide about 40". No canals, no condos. Ernie’s offers an authentic Bimini-island experience outside the resort and the condos, without sacrificing creature comforts and style. A private, gated property steps away from a friendly local community with great restaurants, bars, and stores. If you want a larger gathering with family or friends, we have two other cottages close by on our property (#2875346 and # 2881517). A quick cart ride south to Radio Beach and the attractions of Alice Town. And a quicker cart ride north to the restaurants, casino, and other offerings of Resort World and the Hilton. Enjoy our yoga mats - a great way to start the day watching the sunrise. Starlink high-speed WIFI for Netflix (or checking in at work, if you must). Swim/snorkel right out front. Spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and rising moons are at your doorstep! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89640000/89635800/89635789/98c4fa7d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bimini Vacation Apartment - APT#3 Bimini - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=89635789&PinnedHotelID=89635789&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71090000/71087200/71087104/7d10633f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eddy's Beach House Bimini - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=71087104&PinnedHotelID=71087104&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89640000/89635700/89635685/d3719322.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bimini Vacation Apartment - APT#6 Bimini - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=89635685&PinnedHotelID=89635685&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27480000/27477300/27477225/11bcf37e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2/2 CONDO/GREAT LOCATION/NEW 40' BOAT SLIP @ RESORTS WORLD BIMINI BAY!
