Overview
Cottage, 2 Bed, 1 1/2 Baths, (Sleeps 5)
Green Bananas is a charming Victorian beach front cottage that accommodates one or two couples or a family of up to five. It is located on the southeast side of Lubbers Quarters, a moderately inhabited island in Abaco, Bahamas.
Lubbers Quarters, a relatively undiscovered beauty is a private island tucked between Great Abaco, Elbow and Tilloo Cayes (pronounced 'keys') It Abounds with historic lore from Blackbeard's buried treasure to tales of gnome-like 'Yahoos' who comb the beach looking for green bananas. (Ask any island child.) There are several trails on Lubbers, as well as caves, wild orchids, hummingbirds, small beaches and interesting people.
Lubbers, in the Bay of Abaco, is surrounded by quaint islands, likened to a pastel version of Martha's Vineyard. Nearby you will find fishing and boat building villages, the famous Hope Town candystriped lighthouse, artist colonies and the world renowned Sandy Cay Seapark.

There are several trails on Lubbers, as well as caves, wild orchids, hummingbirds, small beaches and interesting people. A short boat ride away is Cracker P’s, a chef owned and operated beach bar/restaurant, also loved by locals. There is a marked trail that will also take you to Cracker P’s.

About The Owner
I am a Bahamian and live on the mainland of Abaco... Green Bananas is my beach cottage... Where my kids and I spend holidays and weekends.. and now would like to share with you..
The Owner purchased this cottage in 2004
Why The Owner chose Bahamas
Green Bananas is the most unique cottage in the Abacos. Its rustic yet has the finest comforts.. It is directly on the beach but also has a private dock.. You will live on the front porch.. The outside shower is private and delicious... The running lane of boats is just off of the dock so you can sit all day and seagaze. Lay in bed and watch the gorgeous sunrises. Go fishing, crawfishing, conching, cruising, and then come home to Green Bananas and grill your Catch - on the dock...
What makes this cottage unique
Most island homes are either on the beach or have a dock... But not both... Green Bananas is the incredible gem... gorgeous white sand beach... long, simple dock...

Absolutely breathtaking!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property, everything and more than we expected! Cottage is adorable, loved sleeping with open windows and hearing the waves roll onto the beach. Enjoyed coffee on porch in the mornings watching sunrise and romantic sunsets with wine in the evenings.Would recommend to others and hope to come back in future!
The Perfect Getaway!
If you're looking for peace & serenity, Green Bananas is your place! Quaint, quiet and tranquil location in a comfortable and clean cottage with a great dock, private beach and all you need to get away from it all!
Wonderful Spring Break Vacation
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Green Bananas on Lubbers Cay. The cottage was perfect for 4 people, with just the right amount of comforts for an island getaway. The location is ideal, situated across from Tahiti Beach with quick access to places of interest to both the north and south.
Rhonda's level of communication was perfect, and she offered many options to expand our knowledge of the local area. I highly recommend this cottage for an Abaco vacation!
Cheers,
Bret Saunders
A little piece of heaven
Watch the sun rise and see marine life all day long. Lots of fish, sea turtles and even dolphin from the dock. Hang out in the sun all day and head over to the firefly at sunset. 10 min boat ride to Hope Town or just hang on the island at Crackers Ps. This place is great for the couple with a little sense of adventure. Go as a couple or bring some friends you won't be disappointed .
Stunning views topped only by a perfect location with amazingly neighbors
After staying for a week, we had a great trip that definitely exceeded our expectations. The house was super cozy and rustic that was ultimately a great place to stay. My only recomendations is for the owner to instal better shower heads (which were quite poor) and to instal a water filter to make the tap water drinkable.
Never wanted to leave
My wife and I spent 6 wonderful nights at GB. We have stayed at other Caribbean islands, and this was by far the best. The cottage was well stocked with everything needed to cook, plenty of linens, and the beach - the best! Plenty of nearby beaches, snorkeling, and other islands for sightseeing. Oh yeah - and Vernon's key lime pie!!! We will definitely be coming back to GB! The owner was very helpful and accommodating, and offered several helpful ideas.
