About this property

Cozy Cottage steps from Rainbow Bay Beach; Tennis Court

This charming hillside home is located in Rainbow Bay, directly across from the beautiful & secluded Rainbow Bay beach, Eleuthera. This private and fully furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage is situated on 1/3 acre of land surrounded by lush and mature island vegetation with beautiful sea views from the large verandah. The cottage has central air-conditioning and satellite TV, landline phone, WIFI, a cozy living room, dine-in kitchen, dishwasher, charcoal grill, and an outdoor shower. The master bedroom has a queen bed. The guest bedroom has twin beds which can be converted to a king bed.

Key Lime Cottage is ideal for families, couples and honeymooners, and is situated literally across the small road (a minute's walk) from Rainbow Bay's private beach. The beach itself offers sparkling white sand and crystal clear azure waters perfect for shelling, snorkeling and fishing and is a naturally protected cove. Convenient picnic benches, secluded tiki huts on the beach are included as part of the rental. Rainbow Bay also has a private tennis court.

Rainbow Bay offers one of the best snorkeling spots on the island. From the above pictures you can see a small peninsula which juts out into the Caribbean. It is home to many of the island's tropical fish and rays. If you are a snorkeler, you will not be disappointed. From Key Lime cottage, you also have easy access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches.

It is just a mile to the acclaimed Rainbow Inn, which offers some of the best food on the island and live music many evenings. The nearest market for supplies is located just a few minutes away by car if you choose to cook at home in the fully-equipped kitchen. There is also now an organic vegetable farm five minutes to the north from the villa.

Centrally located on Eleuthera, Key Lime cottage is the is the perfect location for exploring the whole island north to south, from Harbor Island to Lighthouse Point, 100 miles of beaches, beauty and history. It is only 15 minutes from Governor's Harbor airport and 25 minutes from Governor's Harbor.

Eleuthera is a very friendly and safe island. It is a beautiful, relaxed destination with turquoise seas, and beautiful sunny weather. Once you come, you will definitely want to return.

Key lime cottage
Der Aufenthalt im Key lime cottage war sehr schön. Das Haus ist mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Die Schlafzimmer sind geräumig und gemütlich. Die Terrasse und der Garten waren traumhaft. Der Rainbow Beach ist direkt vor dem Haus und einer der schönsten Strände. Bei unserem Aufenthalt ging das Internet immer wieder nicht, aber Brenda hat sich direkt gekümmert und bei so einer schönen Insel brauchte man auch nicht unbedingt oft Internet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder ins key lime cottage.

The Key Lime Cottage/House at Rainbow Beach, Eleuthera Bahamas
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: I am so glad I chose the Key Lime Cottage/House to stay at for my dream vacation to Eleuthera Bahama. The house and location are absolutely perfect in every way. The house is so clean and roomy with two bedrooms, two bathroom's, a great room that includes a large living room, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, with a high top dining table and chairs with french doors that open up to a large front porch balcony with a view of the ocean just beyond the lush greenery.The house is completely surrounded with thick, tropical landscaping giving it complete privacy and it is so quiet and peaceful. The house has central air conditioning and is completely furnished and includes plenty of towels, sheets, hairdryers, beach supplies and the kitchen is fully equipped and has a large refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, blender and a stackable washer and dryer. The house was also supplied with two 5 gallon jugs of drinking water and some charcoal for the outdoor barbecue grill. The house also has a hose at the side of the house for cleaning up after the beach.The caretaker, Brenda had the house so clean and fresh smelling and had placed freshly cut hot pink Bougainvillea flowers in every room of the house. Shortly after I arrived, Brenda came over to check in on me and make sure I had everything I needed. She was so sweet and pleasant and said that she would be available for any of my needs.I absolutely love the location of the house. It is just a one minute walk to the beautiful and peaceful Rainbow Beach which is located on the calm Caribbean side of the island and it turned out to be one of my favorite beaches on the island. The beautiful aqua blue water is so calm and it is as clean and clear as swimming pool water and it is one of the best snorkeling spots on the island with colorful reefs and plenty of fish and sea creatures to see.The north central location of the house is excellent for exploring the island and it has stores and restau
