About this property

Charming safe and quiet beach escape

Pink Sands Beach Cottage is a very charming beach cottage with a direct access to a breathtaking large pink sandy beach. Most of the times you will be alone, and if it gets crowded, you may have a few people around... 2.5 miles of stunning beach. On this part of this beach, at low tide, the ocean is a magnificent turquoise lagoon with very large sand bars.

The cottage is ideally situated. Everything is within walking distance: supermarket Food Fair, Kathy's bakery, Eagle's Landing restaurant, Commonwealth bank, Bahamas Wellness medical center, pharmacy...

This old-fashioned looking cottage gives visitors to Spanish Wells a real taste of island living. Located on quiet Saint George's Cay, this heaven is the perfect place for relaxation, for honeymooners, for a romantic getaway, for retirees who wish to escape from the cold months of winter, for a quiet family vacation...

Spanish Wells offers everything you need: beautiful pink and white sand beaches, and water so clear that you can see your shadow on the bottom. Stretching from Spanish Wells to the northeast tip of mainland Eleuthera is a beautiful barrier reef called the Devil's Backbone which is inhabited with an abundance of marine life. This area is fantastic for snorkelers, and fishermen usually find that grouper and snapper are plentiful in this area. One mile off shore, there's great sport fishing. There's world-class bone fishing on the flats surrounding the island. One can walk around the island, wade for sand dollars on the North beach, purchase the fresh catch of the day from local fishermen, and browse the centuries-old village. Island tours offer a half-day or full day reef fishing, swim with the pigs, diving the shipwreck, cliff jumping, swings in the open ocean, sand bar away from the shore...

Spanish Wells offers several supermarkets, a bakery, several restaurants or take away (which serve native Bahamian and American dishes at reasonable prices), bars and liquor stores, a medical clinic, a museum, variety stores, and of course, you can purchase fresh fish and lobster from fishermen!

Ideal temperatures all year round!

Wonderful Location

You could not ask for a better location. The house is conveniently located to the beach, to the grocery store and pharmacy, to medical care if needed, and to restaurants. The house is comfortable and quiet. The beach and the water are exceptional, both in terms of cleanliness and clarity. An excellent place to spend some time and relax.

Dream Vacation Spot

We loved our time at Pink Sands. Location and beach access were perfect. The house had everything we needed. The outdoor shower is a feature we’ll look for in all of our next rentals…it was amazing. Host and caretaker were very responsive, which is always appreciated. We prefer this end of the island because it’s quieter and less condensed.

House is very affordable, clean, and in a great location just a 2 minute walk from the best portion of the beach. Property owner was very responsive when we had a couple of minor issues. My only feedback is the property needs more / better beach chairs. The 3 ones provided were ok but were dated though the owner did provide an additional one upon request. Also the property needs a beach umbrella

Amazing location and adorable home with lots of extras

We absolutely loved Spanish Wells. The property manager was extremely responsive and easy to work with. The house is much better in person and very well cared for. Spent a lot of time on the front porch enjoying the breeze. The central location was perfect for exploring the island and the very tasty restaurants. We will be back!! The locals are very nice and our kids had a blast too. Great house, great island, just an amazing vacation all the way around.

LOVED THIS HOUSE!!! Great location, House is clean with a great set up, minutes from the beach

The house is fun and beachy, the location is perfect with the beach, grocery store and Papa Scoops. Restaurant / Bars are welcoming with delicious food. The house has peek a boo view of the beach from the upstairs bedroom. The upstairs room was perfect for our 2 college age girls, separate beds with their own space. They loved it. We fished and had great luck getting tuna, dolphin and Wahoo. We found great treasures on beaches all over. We can’t wait to come back and visit Spanish Wells and the Pink Sands Cottage.

Beautiful house!

Pink Sands Cottage is beautiful, and Elizabeth the nicest hostess. You´ll find everything you need at the house and more, to be honest. We didn´t have the best weather (windy and rainy), but yet we find Spanish Wells and Russel Island charming and beautiful. I thought about taking out a star because of the garden... it was in a deep need of maintinance during our stay. And then, on our last day at 8.00 am the garden keeper showed up. I would appreciated he arrived after 10.00 am, our check out time....

Perfect Vacation!

We had such a fantastic time on Spanish wells! Weather was beautiful all week! We came on Christmas Eve and we’re able to wake on Christmas morning to see Santa had found the kids here in Spanish wells. Such great memories made! The house is very clean and welcoming. Plenty of space for 4 children upstairs and my husband and I in the downstairs bedroom. There are two large (Queen) sized beds upstairs along with a roll away cot. Plenty of room for a 14,11,9 and 7 year old. Full sized bathroom upstairs with a tub/shower. Kids loved the spiral stairs. Washer and dryer was a blessing so we could travel lighter. Plenty of extra sheets and bedding. The kitchen had all the items you could need to cook a meal. Plenty of bath towels and best of all 4 beach chairs! The outdoor shower was the best with hot water and was so nice to rinse the sandy kids off after playing at the beach all day. The caretaker at Harbourside rentals was so kind and quick to answer my questions! There is a beach enter ace right across the street from the pink sands cottage. So convienient being so close. We walked up to eat lunch and went right back to the beach. I loved the area of beach we were on, right in front of the most beautiful sandbar. The kids loved taking the kayaks out and and with the sandbar it was nice not to have to worry about them going out too far. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Pink Sands Dec ‘22

Our second time at the property. We love Spanish Wells and we were excited to head back and stay at Pink Sands Cottage again. It’s a lovely quaint house which suits us perfectly and for the most part is clean, tidy and provides everything you need. We did think however, that a few cosmetic updates might now be required especially the kitchen and bathrooms. It wouldn’t take much to have the property looking so much better. Investing in having the front yard maintained would help too. We were a little disappointed that the beach (which was the reason we came back) is not as picturesque as it once was. It unfortunately has a lot of weed in the shallow water and a lot of shrubbery growing in the sand. Obviously that is out of the control of the homeowners but still a negative on our part. Overall none of these issues would stop us from renting again.

Everything was wonderful! Check in was seamless with Ricky. The taxi/ferry service was set up and perfect. House was roomy and cool. We loved the porches and easy easy access to the beach. One thing, we only had 2 bath towels. Santini was able to give us a couple more. Everyone was so responsive to our questions. We will come back to Spanish Wells for sure!

Exceeded our Expectations!!!

We were a bit nervous to stay in the heart of Spanish Wells thinking we would not have much privacy; however, Pink Sands Cottage was perfectly located. It was not only private, but close to the grocery store, restaurants and only a short walk to an incredible beach!!! At low tide, you can walk out to the sand bars. Pink Sands Cottage is very spacious! We loved the french doors and openness of it. The upstairs bedroom is quite large and comfortable with a private bathroom. The decor is cute and very beachy. The amenities were great and the home was clean. Spanish Wells is a great island to visit. It is safe for kids, the people are very friendly and there is much to do. We would definitely stay again!!!

Excellent island vacation!

We had a excellent stay. We loved this house and location was great. It was so nice to have the patio furniture on the upper and lower decks to sit outside and enjoy the view. Was happy to see we had a gallon of fresh water waiting on us when we got there. The house was very clean loved the outside shower had it the best water pressure. I know it would take some time to put together but a list of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores on the island with business hours would be helpful. Could have used some more towels and washcloths for bathrooms. Some nice beach towels would have been great. There were no dish towels.( drying or washing) No dishwasher so this would have been helpful. I did purchase some and leave them. We are big coffee drinkers so a upgraded coffee maker would have been nice. There was a good selection of cookware the only thing could have use a cookie sheet. Made do with the pizza pan. Overall our stay was excellent!!! Just needs a few perks... nice towels, pans, coffeemaker and small appliances. We loved Pink Sands Cottage. ❤️❤️Was a great first time visit.

Best Vacation Ever

I was looking for a place where there were more locals than tourists, a quiet yet friendly atmosphere, close to the beach and ammenities. I got everything I wished for. The location is superb, the locals friendly and willing to offer you a ride or just say hi, the town is walkable with many little shops and areas to explore. There is a fairly good choice of restaurants and nightly entertainment if you want it, although I preferred to prepare my own meals. The beach is 1 minute walk with a great sand bar that I walked every morning once the tide went out. The main grocery store and bank are another minute away. The home was clean and very spacious. Lucia, the caretaker and her son Mark were helpful and accommodating yet not intrusive. Looking to re-book soon.
