About this property
Palm Cottage - 3 Bedroom Beach Cottage just steps from the beach
This Historic Bahamian home is ideal for couples or families alike. Situated on a hill overlooking the turquoise waters, it comes equipped with an outdoor shower, outdoor dining & grill, and kid friendly items like a travel crib, plastic kitchenware, games and toys. It features an eclectic collection of local artwork and is only a few minutes from beautiful North Side Beach, restaurants and shopping. The large garden has a wide variety of plant life and tropical fruit trees.
The space
Nestled on the tiny island of Spanish Wells, Palm Cottage is the perfect getaway for travelers looking to enjoy the pristine beauty of our islands in a tranquil setting. This charming heritage site was constructed of resilient Abaco pine in 1920. Guests will have access to the entire home, including a master suite and guest bedroom on the ground floor, and a spacious guest bedroom with half bath on the upper floor. There is an open plan kitchen equipped with everything you need for cooking and grilling, a cozy living room for reading and relaxing and, of course, WiFi. The expansive garden is full of tropical plants and is yours to explore.
Take a tour of Palm Cottage on HGTV's series 'Bahamas Life', June 2020, Season 5, Episode 5: "Buying a Piece of History."

**Covid-19 - Cleaning Measures**
I have adopted some new policies to ensure I am providing the safest possible environment for you and your loved ones during your stay. I follow an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance. Here are a few highlights:
I sanitize high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknob.
I use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies, and I wear protective gear to help prevent cross-contamination.
I clean each room using extensive cleaning checklists.
I provide extra cleaning supplies (including disposable paper towels, disposable gloves, multi-surface cleaner, disinfectant wipes or spray, antibacterial hand sanitizer and extra hand soap), so you can clean as you stay.
All linens are changed between guests, washed at the highest temperature setting and thoroughly dried before storage.
I comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines.
I hope that these measures will put your mind at ease throughout your stay, however if you have any questions about my cleaning practices please don't hesitate to ask.

About the host
Hosted by Dede Brown
My name is Dede Brown. I am a Bahamian, born in Freeport, Grand Bahama and raised in Nassau. I am a freelance artist practicing in the mediums of painting, sculpture, installation and photography and have been self employed since 2010. I have lived in Spanish Wells, Eleuthera since 2018 and I love it!
Why they chose this property
My two sisters and I purchased this property together in early 2019. We love the family islands of The Bahamas and wanted to invest in a property that reflected the old island charm that we grew up with and have always cherished. Palm Cottage has a lot of soul and character and is the perfect home for us to nurture, make our own and to share with others.
What makes this property unique
Palm Cottage is a very unique property on Spanish Wells as it's one of the few original homes still on the island. It was built in 1920 from Abaco pine, a very durable and resilient hardwood. The foundation is in pristine condition and the rooms are quite spacious. The property also has a large garden, with many tropical fruit trees and plants.
