About this property

Unique, authentic, exquisite waterfront cottage with a dock.

A unique piece of paradise in North Bimini, “Ernie’s” (named for Ernest Hemingway, who frequented Bimini and found inspiration here for his sea-faring tales) villa has three big comfortable bedrooms, a large open bright living space, and a full open kitchen for big dinner parties, nestled in a lush half-acre enclave. Enjoy our deck right on the water with a small grill. The property has 100 feet of waterfront and a large dock. Includes tie-up for a boat up to about 40 feet; low tide about 40". No canals, no condos. Ernie’s offers an authentic Bimini-island experience outside the resort and the condos, without sacrificing creature comforts and style. A private, gated property steps away from a friendly local community with great restaurants, bars, and stores. If you want a larger gathering with family or friends, we have two other cottages close by on our property (#2875346 and # 2881517). A quick cart ride south to Radio Beach and the attractions of Alice Town. And a quicker cart ride north to the restaurants, casino, and other offerings of Resort World and the Hilton. Enjoy our yoga mats - a great way to start the day watching the sunrise. Starlink high-speed WIFI for Netflix (or checking in at work, if you must). Spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and rising moons are at your doorstep!

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The Cottage was fantastic. The Owner had recently done a renovation, and the house was well appointed. We will definitely stay there again. Owner was easy to communicate with by email and everything was delivered as promised.

The house and location was incredible and just as described in the listing. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute, getting up in the morning and having coffee on the dock and enjoying the sunrise! The house was clean, well-appointed and perfect kitchen for the times when we did cook. We can't say enough great things! And when we had a hiccup with the lock - it was figured out quickly! We would most definitely stay again!

The house is beautiful. The views of the water was stunning. 10 out of 10 recommend. The pictures online do not do it justice.

This is paradise. We played, swam, floated, snorkeled and fished right off the dock. So many snapper, tarpon, barracuda, rays, tropical fish, and octopus. It was like our own sea world. We also absorbed the island and had great party nights out at the fun local bars. Slept comfortably, had everything we needed. So fun!

About the host

Hosted by Shequira Rolle

Joe and Karen visited Bimini before they were married over 25 years ago. After island hopping with their two boys Pete and Sam (now grown) seeking out the best diving, fishing, and boating they finally bought these vacation cottages in Bimini in 2021. The whole family is certified Advanced scuba divers and Joe is a trained free diver. They wanted a place to share with extended family and rent to those seeking warm, stunning blue water and a friendly, local island community.

Why they chose this property

The location of the Cottages at Bimini (Ernie's, Martin's and West Wing) make it a special, idyllic place. It is a completely private enclave for you to nestle into comfortably, but only a stone's throw from the friendly local community with great family restaurants and bars, Edith's famous pizza, Pat & Ebbie's bar & grill, a small liquor store, groceries, and shops. The health clinic is right across the street. A quick golf cart ride south to Alice town will take you to wonderful restaurants, Radio Beach, Dolphin house, and all the attractions of authentic Bimini. Or take a quick right north and in 4 minutes you can experience the restaurants, Casino, and other offerings of the Hilton and Resort World.
.

What makes this property unique

Ernie's, Martin's and West Wing are all newly, fully renovated, with new kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and decks. In addition to partially shaded decks, Martin's and Ernie's also have beach areas to lounge in as you look over the beautiful waters and watch the boats cruise by. The sunrises, sunsets, and rising moons are spectacular. There is nice snorkeling right off the dock, or just stand and watch the fish and eagle rays swim by. We've been known to swim straight out from the dock to grab a lobster and a couple of conchs for dinner. And your dog is welcome!
