Vacation rentals near Hatchet Bay Cave

Imagine sweeping seaside views from your cliff top deck, crashing waves, salt air invigorating your skin, gorgeous dark night skies, peace and quiet, and getting back in touch with nature. Now add a solidly built home with comfortable beds, clean & spacious bathrooms, ample kitchen, and lots of windows to take in the views. The home is on solar and that came in very handy one day during a planned island power outage- we were able to turn on the solar power to protect the food in our fridge/freezer. Also, the air conditioning was really nice to use in the dusk and dawn hours when you need to close up the home to avoid the "no see ums" getting inside. The rest of the time we loved opening the windows and turning on the ceiling fans to bring the fresh air inside. And be sure to get up early to catch the beautiful sunrise from this wonderful home/property!We'd also recommend renting an SUV through Robert Thompson (aka Mr Bones Car Rental). His wife, Tiffany, runs Daddy Joe's Restaurant in Gregory Town. Be sure to enjoy thier fresh delicious food and don't miss Taco Tuesday with live music! And when our departure flight was canceled last minute, Daddy Joe's provided us with a clean, comfortable room for the night. We felt well taken care of for sure.Thank you, Mark and crew, for a wonderful, memorable stay!

Ed and Dan were fabulous! I took my mom on a trip to get her very first passport stamp! We had a wonderful time! The kitchen is well stocked work just about anything you could possibly need. It was incredible to be totally unplugged from life in the states for a week! It was an incredibly relaxing environment! It was very clean and well appointed in every way! Ed answered my many questions during the planning phase promptly and thoroughly! Dan met us at the house and ran us through the ins and outs. We really enjoyed the location of the property as it is centrally located in the island. Rainbow Beach(5 mins away) is lovely with fun snorkeling near the rock jettys. Thank you Ed for sharing your stunning home with us! Memories to last a lifetime!

The views and breeze were wonderful. The bed and linens very comfortable. The information packet provided made it easy to get around. 4WD for the drive and other roads is a must. We felt home away from home with the pups and would love to try to get them back with us. The house could use a few updates but was a very comfortable house. It was also in a great central location to go north or south. We would definitely stay again at Palm Bluff!

I can't imagine a property with better views on the island. See the water from every door and window. Very well appointed. Couple of brief power and wifi outages, but nothing bothersome. Beach had a fair amount of seaweed a couple of days because of the way the winds were blowing, but we raked a little spot. Enjoyed the kayaks and snorkeled right from the shore. Half day tour with Uncle Rob's was a highlight. Central location on the island, though everything was a bit of a drive, so a good vehicle is a must. AC worked well, though the breeze was so nice we just opened the windows a lot. Didn't have bug problems, again due to the breeze. Screened-in porch was a great addition! I miss the beautiful water already.

Property is beautiful and secluded. As people before have said, it is best to have a higher SUV type vehicle, the hill before the parking spot is a pretty good hill. House is perfect, off grid, quiet and had everything we needed. We didnt use the AC but had no issues with anything being off grid. Water access was easy for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling (go right from the stairs for shallow water and left for deeper water and more fish/coral). If you are looking for a laid back vacation this is the place for you, if you are looking for resort type living pick another island. Thank you Petagay for everything and we hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed our stay at Salty Coconut immensely. It was our second visit so clearly we very much like it. A beautiful location and facility. The facility is a little small but perfect for two people. Much privacy and tranquility. Highly recommended. We will return.

Out of all the rental properties myself and my wife have visited, the Turtle House is at the top of our list. From the moment we booked, our host/hosts were immediately helpful, responsive, and considerate of our needs and questions. I never factored in the importance of a truly gracious host, but boy did this property change my thinking. Mark, the primary host listed for this property, was traveling during our stay, and we had the delight of being greeted by his partner/wife Susan. She was by far the most accommodating and personable person that we have ever met in regards to out of country traveling accommodations. Both Susan, and Mark, went out of their way to ensure we had the knowledge, confidence, and insight, to explore Eleuthera as if it was our own familiar stomping grounds. Coming to the Bahamas, or any country outside your own can be an intimidating experience at first. Let me just say, any and all queries or concerns were IMMEDIATELY resolved. The home was so clean, you could eat dinner off of the floor. The property so perfectly nestled amongst the palms and greenery, that you feel as though you are lost in the jungle (in only the best of ways). Their private beach, and rooftop deck offer the best view of the sunset that you could imagine, with gin clear waters just beyond your doorstep. Don’t bother booking a turtle excursion, as less than 500ft down the beach is a literal sea turtle sanctuary, where dozens of turtles call their happy home. The perfect stay.

Lisa also! You hit jackpot with these lovely ladies! There kindess made our trip so much more! Treated us like family! I named Brenda the mayor! Billy was also so kind.
