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 cottage had what we needed and was in a great location for us. We walked on the beach at the cottage every day, it was so beautiful. Tons of linens and towels! We could have used a couple more light bulbs, but we are familiar with island living. Watching netflix was awesome, despite the challenge figuring out how to connect to it. Overall a really lovely stay that we would definitely recommend. ##### Sarah L.

Reviewer Comments: Ottimo cottage situato in posizione centrale , poco distante da Governor Harbour, il plus la spiaggia privata dove però in pomeriggio ho avvistato degli squali. Ho particolarmente apprezzato la cura dei dettagli del cottage, unico appunto, essendo in quattro avrei gradito che il cottage avesse 4 sedioli e per la spiaggia e non due.Nel complesso lo consiglierei vivamente ##### Attilia P.

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! ##### Gia J.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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. ❤️🇧🇸❤️ ##### Marc D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### nicholas m.

Reviewer Comments: 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! ##### nicholas m.

Reviewer Comments: 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.

Mar 2, 2024 #### Orchid Cottage Stay Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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. ##### roger F. Stayed 31 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lauren H. Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adventure in Paradise 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 ##### Lauren H.

Reviewer Comments: 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.

Reviewer Comments: 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 everythingto remedy any concerns you may have during your stay.The cottage is clean and has everything you need formeals, sleeping and going to the beach. We continue to recommend the cottage to all our friends and family. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina S.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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. ##### Tina S.

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! ##### Lisa L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy P., Coquitlam, BC Feb 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Couldn't be more perfect. Exceeded expections. Eleuthera is the perfect island to stay if you like laid back life, the most beautiful pink sand deserted beaches and the nicest friendliest people in the world.(we have visited over 40 countries). Groceries and restaurants very expensive though. Orchid cottage is in a good location for exploring. Exceptional well equipped..you'll find Everything you'll need. The ONLY negative we fou s was that the path to the beautiful beach was too difficult to manage with beach chairs. But we are old and there are so many others to visit.
