**Keep in mind that our neighbors Tippy's close for a period of time in September and October. Please call them for details. Tippy's is also next door to our Purple Papaya cottage, therefore you may hear some island vibes and tunes while outside, (this is of course out of our control).**
**Please also keep in mind that Eleuthera is a secluded island, therefore at times the island may shut off the water, as well as internet or electricity. Water pressure can be low as well, but this is all due to being on a secluded island, so please be patient with us. Any of this issues will not result in the guest getting compensated since this is out of our control**

About the host
Hosted by Bird of Paradise Beachfront Cottages
We are a family run operation of hospitality professionals.
Why they chose this property
We purchased the land where Bird of Paradise Beachfront Cottages now stand in 2004 on a complete whim with aspirations to eventually build. It wasn't until 2016 when we finally broke ground on three cottages that now sit facing the Atlantic Ocean just south of Tippys. Eleuthera is a special place to us that has always served as a location to simply getaway from it all.
What makes this property unique
We have traveled all over the globe and believe the beaches of Eleuthera far surpass anything we have ever seen.
