About this property

Brand New Cottage on Banks Rd, Steps from Famous Bch, Walk to Restaurant/Bar

Welcome to The Simple Life! This brand new cottage, just completed in February of 2023, is a two minute walk down a deeded path to spectacular pink-sand Poponi Beach, which is one of the most sought-after beaches on Eleuthera. There is excellent snorkeling right off our beach. Bring your snorkel gear!

A three-minute walk down that beach takes you to La Bougainvillea boutique resort with its excellent beachfront restaurant and bar. Simple Life is located on the prestigious Banks Road, the most desirable location on Eleuthera. A six-minute drive takes you into Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, with stores and restaurants.

The Simple Life Cottage features quartz countertops in this modern kitchen equipped with an apartment size refrigerator, oven/range and microwave. It is fully equipped with a coffee-maker, toaster, cookware, dishes, and cutlery. There is a separate laundry room with a washer/dryer.

The bedroom features a king bed, walk in closet and a full en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. The living room also has a pullout sofa. Both bedroom and living room open onto the lovely broad veranda. Glimpses of the ocean are visible from throughout the cottage and veranda.

Amenities include backup water tank, air conditioning throughout, WIFI, washer/dryer, a TV with Netflix, beach umbrella, cooler, gas barbecue grill, and fans in every room.

Tranquil Anniversary Escape
We last visited Eleuthera 40 years ago for our honeymoon. Yes, there have been some changes, however it remains a destination for unspoiled beaches. The Simple Life Cottage was the perfect place to experience this. Watching the sunrise in the morning and seeing a million stars at night. Magical watching fireflies in the nature landscape. Also enjoyed the surprising visits from a friendly Potcake. White like a ghost, as quick as she appeared she would disappear. Explored the history and culture of the neighboring town, be sure and visit Governor’s Harbour for the Friday night fish fry. Thank you for sharing your little slice of Heaven on Earth.

Palmetto Point Ideal Location
We had a wonderful week at Simple Life which is in an ideal location in Central Eleuthera. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I loved seeing the sun rise from the kitchen window and set from the back porch. Easy access to a beautiful, unspoiled beach was a huge plus. We appreciated the beach chairs, towels, and umbrella that Simple Life provides. We cooked many meals at home using the outside grill and kitchen appliances. La Bougainvillea is a short walk down the beach where we enjoyed dinner and drinks. We are huge fans of Island Farms which is a 5 minute drive away. Love the access to fresh produce, fruit, prepared foods, wine and homemade bread. One of our favorite beaches, Ten Bay, is 20 minutes away. Heading into Governor's Harbour is easy as well. Overall, we highly recommend Simple Life and its beautiful location in Palmetto Point.

Simple Life Vacation Experience
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: We had a wonderful time during our stay on Eleuthra. The Simple Life Cottage was very comfortable, well stocked and just steps to Poponi Beach. Misty was very helpful, and when we did contact her, she responded quickly. We enjoyed meeting and visiting with Gary, the owner, who happened to be visiting while we were there. We would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay on the island.

vacation at Simple Life Cottage
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: The cottage was very well maintained. The location was just off of Banks Rd which made it accessible to all points of interest. We loved that the cottage was near the beach but very quiet and dark at night for sleeping and viewing the night sky. We highly recommend The Simple Life Cottage!

Beach Paradise
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: Our stay was, overall, delightful. The beach is just perfect and it’s only a two-minute walk. The cottage is simple, clean, and new. It’s wonderfully isolated but if you need some civilization, you can take a five-minute walk down the beach to La Bougainville to sit at the bar and each fish tacos. It’s ideally located; 10 minutes from the Island Farm and downtown Governors Harbor. Misty, the property manager, answered our texts quickly when we had any questions about the cottage or things-to-do.
