About this property

PRIVATE BEACH HOUSE -4 BED- 2 BATH - Perfect Beach Cottage !

Nestled privately within our 15 acre Beachfront Compound is our Rental Home we call, The Guesthouse. This is a 4 bedroom beach-home built and designed by us to be comfortable and roomy while allowing guests to enjoy themselves on Long Island without breaking the budget ! We built the guesthouse for our many friends and family to enjoy while they visit us but, whenever it’s available, we like to offer it out for rental.

Here’s a summary of the Main Features of the Guesthouse:

**Elevated to catch the Breeze and View

**WASHER/DRYER IN THE HOUSE !!

**FREE WIFI internet

**4 Bedrooms with queen beds

**Two full baths with walk in showers

**Large fully equipped kitchen with prep-island and dishwasher

**Living room flatscreen TV ...CABLE TV

**Two 14’ x 17’ screened porches

** BBQ

**Outside wash-off showers and footwashers

**Ceiling fans in Every room and on Both Porches

**Great Island Location

**Extremely Affordable Rates

The Guesthouse is Elevated to catch the balmy trade winds and gorgeous views, and is set back a little bit from the beach. Guests absolutely love the nice large kitchen with center prep-island, and everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal or a nice family dinner is there for you !

Adjacent to the kitchen is the first of two large 14’ x 17’ screened porches containing a nice outdoor dining table ready for Six. The stainless steel propane BBQ grill is located right off the porch on the same level for easy grilling in close proximity to the kitchen.

The Guesthouse also features a nice comfortable living room area with a couple of sofas and chairs along with a nice large flat screen TV and Blu Ray Player. The living room has a full size wet bar area featuring a full size refrigerator and double sink along with cabinets full of glasses….you can load this fridge up with ice, sodas, beers and other drinks and keep the kitchen fridge available just for food !

Adjacent to the Living room is the second large screened porch… one has another 6 person table and chairs for your enjoyment.

The Guesthouse’s Four Air Conditioned Bedrooms each contain one queen bed, a dresser and mirror, large shelves and a clothes-hanging area. The two bathrooms feature walk in showers and plenty of hot water and water pressure!

We've got Ceiling Fans in every room and they really move the air ! Normally there is plenty of that famous Long Island Breeze blowing through all the windows, but it’s nice to have the fans there for backup. Of course, all Linens, towels and beach towels are provided.

The Whymms area, where we are located, is a mile off the main road and there are only a few other homes on our 2 ½ mile long beach, so this is a nice private and quiet setting. You can Walk the nice long beach out to Whalehead Cay…...Swim in the gin-clear waters or take the kayaks we have and snorkel around the small cays just offshore…maybe get a conch or lobster! Fish for bonefish right out front in one of the best spots on the island (shh, don't tell anybody!!!). Just 150 feet from the beach, you can walk out to the small little coral reefs that are there and look at the muti-colored coral and all the colorful fish swimming in and around the coral ......It's like having your own little salt water fish tank! The bay in front is fun to snorkel in and, even though it’s shallow, We've spotted octopus, conch, lobster, bonefish and all sorts of other stuff right off the beach in front.

Not only are we Super affordable but we are in a Great location !!!!! Our 15 acre property is located in a quiet area of the island and is centrally located between the attractions in the north and south making it a perfect place to be while visiting. We have almost 400 feet of ocean frontage on a 2 ½ mile long beach and spectacular ocean views that you will not tire of! We live here year round and we want all of our guests to get a good taste of what it's like to live on the island and to experience the island life and the island people……

Come to long island..This is the real Bahamas........Live the dream with us!

About the host

Hosted by George Rathgeber

Host profile image
Originally from Chicago I have found my dream here on Long Island. I built everything here myself. I love waking up to the sounds of the surf and walking the 2 mile long beach in front of the house. Whenever I go back to the states for something I find myself counting the days until my return.

Why they chose this property

The location was critical for me. Long Island is a very long island and if you live too far from the center of it you have a very long travel to get to some of the sites, stores and restaurants. Also, I had to have a westerly view because I love the sunsets and we have them here where we are located. Also I chose this property because it is over a mile from the main road so it is private and quiet.

What makes this property unique

The two Cottages I rent...4 bed and 2 bed...are both comfortable and affordable and allow people to experience Long Island without spending a fortune. Both cottages have everything you will need to enjoy your stay here. They are simply and practically designed and over the years we have had hundreds of guests who have become friends.
