About this property

Observe the green turtles at your door step on cocoa bay.

Lo Key Villa is a fully renovated, two-floor, 4-bedroom private compound sitting directly on Coco Bay, Green Turtle Cay, Abaco Bahamas. It is the combination of Island Gypsy (the ground-floor apartment) and the penthouse apartment, rented together as one exclusive private villa.
With two self-contained floors each boasting spectacular direct Coco Bay views, a private garden, direct beach access, Starlink internet, backup generator, and sea turtles in the water just steps from your door — this is the definitive Lo Key Cottages experience for families and groups of up to 8.
Both floors were stripped to the concrete and rebuilt from the ground up. Modern kitchens, dishwashers, in-unit laundry, central AC, and high-end finishes throughout. The ground floor porch of Island Gypsy sits right at water’s edge overlooking the bay, garden, and beach. The penthouse-level upper floor commands panoramic elevated views across the full sweep of Coco Bay. Exceptional views at both levels — no matter which floor your group claims, everyone wins.

*Bedrooms: 4 total — 2 per floor
*Bed Configuration: 1 king + 2 twins per floor
*Bathrooms: 2 — 1 per floor
*Sleeps: Up to 8 guests
*Layout: Two fully self-contained floors, each with separate living space, kitchen, bathroom, and covered bay-view porch
*Building: Solid concrete construction
*Climate: Central air conditioning on both floors
*Kitchens: 2 fully equipped modern kitchens, each with dishwasher
*Laundry: In-unit washer and dryer on both floors
*Internet: Starlink satellite — fast, reliable connectivity throughout
*Power: Backup generator — no disruption during island outages
*Outdoor: Private garden + direct beach access to Coco Bay
*Views: Spectacular direct Coco Bay views from both floors — ground floor porch overlooks the bay, garden, and beach / penthouse level commands panoramic elevated bay views
The Two-Floor Compound Experience
Lo Key Villa works exceptionally well for multi-generational families and friend groups because the two-floor layout gives everyone space without separating the group entirely. The ground floor is the activity hub — kitchen, living space, and a porch with spectacular bay views that flows directly into the garden and out to the beach. Kids and adults move in and out to the water freely throughout the day. The upper penthouse floor is the retreat — elevated panoramic views, open bay horizon, sea turtles visible from the porch, and the best breeze on the property.
Both floors enjoy spectacular direct views across Coco Bay — the ground floor porch sits right at water's edge with the garden and beach in front of you, while the penthouse floor above opens up the full panoramic bay horizon. The views are different at each level, and both are exceptional. The group shares the garden and beach; each floor keeps its own rhythm.
Why Coco Bay
Coco Bay is the jewel of Green Turtle Cay. Its warm, shallow, impossibly clear water is home to a resident population of wild green sea turtles that guests encounter regularly from shore and while snorkeling. With Lo Key Villa's direct beach access, your group is in the water within minutes of dropping your bags.
Beyond the turtles, the area offers easy access to stingray flats, swimming pigs, bonefishing, and deserted sandbars. We can connect you directly with Captain David Farrington for a private group charter — a full-day excursion covering the sea turtle sanctuary, swimming pigs, stingray flats, and hidden snorkeling spots. For a group of 8, a private charter is the best value and the best day on the island.
About Green Turtle Cay
Green Turtle Cay is a small, laid back island in the Abaco chain, accessible by water taxi from Treasure Cay. There are no traffic lights, no chain restaurants, and no crowds — just golf carts, open water, and some of the friendliest locals in the Bahamas. New Plymouth, a short golf cart ride away, is one of the most charming colonial settlements in the entire Caribbean. The island moves at its own pace, and after about 24 hours, so will you.
Getting Here: Fly into Marsh Harbor via Nassau or direct from select US cities. The water taxi to Green Turtle Cay runs regularly and takes approximately 20 minutes.
A Note from Your Host
Lo Key Cottages is owner-operated and we are genuinely invested in making your group's stay exceptional. Restaurant recommendations, boat referrals, grocery provisioning tips, real-time turtle spotting intel — we are here, responsive, and happy to help make this the trip your group talks about for years.

Beautiful location and scenery

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful VRBO! The location is absolutely stunning, especially the peaceful sunrises each morning. The owner was very responsive and helpful throughout our visit. The only recommendation we’d make is to consider adding a generator, as we experienced a few power outages during the week. Otherwise, a great place for a family getaway!

Fantastic Location

Beautiful views from the upstairs balcony of Coco Bay! We all enjoyed being able to walk across the street to the beach and see the turtles, rays and nurse sharks. The washer and dryer was great! Beds very comfortable.

Lovely escape

Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant . Everything we needed was provided. We loved sitting on the upstairs porch and watching the sunrise over the beautiful bay. Walking on the beach, seeing turtles and rays and stargazing in the dark were bonuses! Laundry super useful too.

Great location to feed turtles at Coco Bay. Visit Syd's for some squid and they will eat out of your hand. Gillam Bay was perfect for beachcombing and we found everyone on the island to be friendly and helpful. House was great for our family of 5.

Great Location

My parents were in the upstairs apartment, which is very nice! We were in the downstairs apartment...not quite as nice, but still a great place. My only complaint was the downstairs bathroom doors didn't offer much privacy! Otherwise...great location and nice, comfortable rental. Would definitely recommend!

Cons- No beach chairs, no ceiling fans on porch, weak water pressure. We have stayed at numerous houses over the years, this was one out favorites. Thanks James (owner)

Lo Key Villa

I stayed at Lo Key Villa for a week over New Years with my wife, mother and 3 year old daughter. The location of the property right next to Coco Bay is stunning with amazing views and the beach just a few steps away. It would have been great if the house had included a kayak or paddle board to take advantage of this! The house is in good condition and is effectively two individual self sufficient homes, one upstairs and one downstairs, which was ideal for our situation. The local property manager was responsive to any questions or issues we had and check in was simple. Where the house fell a little short was in cleanliness on arrival and the wifi connection being poor. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come back.

Beautiful location

Place is great as it was previously with a beautiful view. Only issue was the downstairs plumbing was constantly backing up. Went to town and bought a plunger and still backed up so contacted property person listed. Said she would send someone but continued. Her response when seeing downstairs was I hope you don’t have a “shi**y evening. Thought that was a little rude. But owners are great and accommodations are perfect otherwise.

Beautiful view from the second floor . We had two families , one stayed downstairs and one had the upstairs. We loved Green Turtle Cay , go see the singrays and pigs !

Excellent getaway

We were able to rent the entire house which nice to separate from the little one for awhile. Full kitchen/bathroom on both floors along with patio was excellent. Quiet. Across the street from the bay which is great for snorkeling and cooling off. Nice location, not to far from town and centrally located. Easy parking for golf cart.

Lovely vacation experience!

True to the listing, beautiful views and great location. We rented both units. We enjoyed our stay very much. Upstairs unit gorgeous porch view. Pack lots of bug spray! Snacks! Sunscreen. We loved seeing sharks, starfish and sea turtles and exploring GTC. The upstairs air had trouble keeping up and was quite warm even at night during our summer stay. Otherwise, everything was fantastic for us.

Another Wonderful Trip to Lo Key

My wife and I spent another great, long weekend at Lo Key this past spring. This was our third trip to GTI and our third stay at Lo Key. Between the location, the view, and the layout of this villa, its really hard to beat and we are planning our next stay already. We've done two trips using only the top floor unit and one trip with family where we had the whole villa. Both times, everything was perfect. Jim does a great job with upkeep and making sure that his guests are taken care of. Whether just a couple or a group, there is plenty of space and everything is updated. It's more than we ever could have asked for.

Host profile image
Hi, I’m James from Miami!
I’m the owner of Lo Key Villa, a spacious 4-bedroom private compound (combining the Penthouse + Island Gypsy) right on beautiful Cocoa Bay in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas. Just steps from the pristine beach where friendly green turtles, stingrays, and nurse sharks swim right up to you.
I love sharing this peaceful slice of paradise with guests — whether it’s a family getaway, romantic escape, or group trip. I’m here to make sure your stay is relaxing, low-key, and unforgettable, with everything you need for a true island experience. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Why they chose this property

"Coco Bay is the heart of Green Turtle Cay. The water is impossibly clear, wild sea turtles are your neighbors, and the pace of life here is unlike anywhere else. I built Lo Key Cottages here because I wanted guests to experience the very best this island has to offer — right from their porch."

What makes this property unique

"Brand new gut renovation. Direct Coco Bay beach access. Sea turtles outside your door. Starlink internet and backup generator. Two fully self-contained floors with spectacular bay views at every level. There is no other property on Green Turtle Cay that offers all of this in one place."
