About this property

Orchid Cottage - Colorful Bahamian Cottage Steps from Pink Sand Beach

Orchid Cottage is a fully air conditioned, bright and lovely Bahamian cottage, on Old Banks Road steps from the Atlantic Ocean beach. It is surrounded by swaying palm trees, beautiful foliage, and tropical flowers. Walk three minutes from the front deck and a magnificent ocean view unfolds.

Upon arrival, our property managers will meet you at the Banana Beach Estates gate. You will be greeted with complimentary Bahamian drinks and appetizers. Our staff is utterly lovely, and they make every effort to make sure you are well taken care of.

The open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen areas allow your entire group to interact during cooking, eating, and family activities. The turquoise and pineapple accents bring a coastal feel to the cottage. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need to prepare your meals and it offers the convenience of a washing machine. The cathedral ceiling gives the cottage an airy feeling. Enjoy the Smart TV with access to your Netflix account or use our Fire Stick with numerous international and local channels as well as FREE Pay Per View movies. Connect to the web by way of free internet.

One bedroom has a queen bed and the second has a king bed, that can be converted into two twin beds. The entire cottage is equipped with ceiling fans along with a/c units in the bedrooms & loft. Beautiful linens, bath towels, and beach towels have been carefully selected to make your stay comfortable. Between the two bedrooms is a coastal three-piece bathroom. The large walk-in shower has sea glass, shells, and pebbles from the Atlantic Ocean embedded in the floor. An additional shower is located outside by the deck.

Enjoy relaxing on the outdoor sectional, drink your morning coffee or sip on an island cocktail, as you listen to the ocean's waves lapping on the shore. In the evenings, the deck is a terrific location to gaze at the infinite numbers of stars in the dark Eleuthera sky. The charcoal grill can be used to prepare the most delicious fresh fish, as the kids play on the grass, or family members take a wonderful walk along our cottage road. Enjoy the tropical location of Old Banks Road, get away from the crowds, and marvel at the variety of tropical flora and fauna.

A short walk along the path takes you to one of the most amazing, pink sand beaches in the world. Bring along the beach chairs and a cooler to enjoy hours and hours of fun. Your first sighting of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean will take your breath away. This incredible beach can be traveled for miles. Spend your day tanning, shelling, wading by the reef, snorkeling, watching the dolphins, boogie boarding, or building sandcastles. A short drive away is French Leave Beach, Twin Coves, the Naval Beach, and the calm waters of Cocodimama. The choices are endless.

Plus, you are only a short walk from Sky Beach Club, with Pascal's Restaurant, Sammy's swim-up bar, oceanfront infinity pool, hot tub, and resort amenities. And Orchid Cottage is only a few minutes' drive from the lovely town of Governor's Harbour, with its century homes, restaurants, stores, and library.

If you require more space, our three-bedroom house (Shangri-La) is also available. It has an open concept design with soaring ceilings and is located a short distance from Orchid Cottage. Each property offers nice privacy, with large palm trees and foliage between the two. Shangri-La and Orchid Cottage would allow your large group extended space and privacy.

Great Location! - central to all parts of the island

Easy to find, I liked the secured gate entry. Easy couple minute walk to beach. We drove to Preacher's cave, Cape Eleuthera and several parts of the island. 5 min. drive to airport, super convenient. Outside foot wash/shower very convenient, cooler, chairs nice so we didn't have to buy or rent. Very quite and peaceful cottage.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Mar, 2026
We are so happy that you loved the location of Orchid Cottage. It's nice to know that you were able to explore the north and south ends of the island and see beautiful Preacher's Cave, Cape Eleuthera and other amazing locations. Being so close to the GHB airport makes travelling to Orchid Cottage so nice - allowing you to begin your vacation sooner! Having our property manager meet our guests at the secured gate is a lovely way to be welcomed to Orchid Cottage. Thanks for pointing our the conveniences of Orchid Cottage, the beach chairs, and the peaceful location of our cottage. We hope that you return again soon.

This was the cutest ocean kissed cottage you could ever hope for. Shauna, the owner is incredibly helpful and responsive. Lachadra, the caretaker of Orchid Cottage is truly one of best people we have ever met. This vacation rental is perfect for people who want to be walking distance to a beautiful, swimmable and expansive beach. We found the "neighbourhood " itself to be friendly and enjoyed meeting fellow Eleuthera lovers everyday at Pascal's or walking on the beach. This location is also extremely private and tranquil if that is the vibe you are seeking.
Walk the soft road to Pascal's for an end of day cocktail. Recommend you take beach for your walk back home!

Thank you for this lovely, five-star-review. We love how you have brought attention to our beautiful beach. It is so expansive, allowing for long walks, beachcombing, and swimming. Our neighborhood is truly peaceful. The area is quiet, allowing for early-morning coffee on the deck surrounded by the sounds of nature. We are so happy that you enjoyed Pascal's and took in the festivities, food, and fun. We hope to welcome you back again very soon.

It was truly a pleasure having you and your family from Germany stay with us. The experiences that you had on the island were amazing! Hearing the excitement in your voice as you told us about swimming with the dolphin on Banana Beach made our day! Going scuba diving with sharks is a memory that you will never forget. Your family certainly took every experience in from day to night. I loved how you and your wife would sit on the deck each night and enjoy the peace and quiet and gaze at the beautiful stars. We enjoyed having you stay at the cottage and feel that we have made new friends. We look forward to your return next summer. Thank you for choosing to stay at Orchid Cottage.

Great location, super cottage!

Perfect location, short path to the beach and short 5 min drive to Governors Harbor. Cottage is really comfortable, 2 great bedrooms and an open living area. Owners are great as well, lots of communication prior to our arrival, so we felt like we knew all the basics before we got there.

Lovely cottage super close to the beach

We loved our stay in Eleuthera. The cottage had what we needed and was in a great location for us. We walked on the beach at the cottage every day, it was so beautiful. Tons of linens and towels! We could have used a couple more light bulbs, but we are familiar with island living. Watching netflix was awesome, despite the challenge figuring out how to connect to it. Overall a really lovely stay that we would definitely recommend.

A great vacation,

Because there was a group of us we used the Orchid Cottage mainly for sleeping and spent time at the Shangri-La. The cottage was light, airy, tastely decorated and self sufficient, The four of us could have stayed there quite comfortably. The property was beautiful and we liked that we could walk to the ocean. The location was ideal, a short drive to Governor's Harbour where we bought groceries, had lunches and dinners and visited the Haynes Library (est. 1897). We drove to both the southern and northern parts of the island exploring the beaches and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Cute, cozy, beach cottage...perfect for relaxing!

We just arrived home from staying at the Orchid Cottage for almost 2 weeks. It was a quiet, convenient location and it was perfect for the 4 of us. It was clean, comfortable and just what we expected from the descriptions and the pictures. We had some issues with the municipality having to work on hydro lines and water lines that caused some inconvenience with low water pressure and no electricity from time to time for the first few days, but the property managers were the best!! They were extremely helpful and responded to our questions and concerns immediately. The cottage has everything you need to have a great vacation. We'll probably be back for another stay.

The cottage is always top notch spotless when we arrive and we are greeted by the caretaker whom is a seasoned pro.

Your love for Eleuthera is evident by your involvement in all that the island has to offer. Thank you for noting our peaceful location, wonderful staff, and cozy cottage. Old Banks Road, coconut palms, and a pink sand beach make it such a relaxing spot. The artwork that you created for us, from beach finds, is so beautiful.
