Bahamas Bliss

Quiet, secluded beach within minutes of three other spectacular beaches. The cottage has everything you need and nothing you don't. Host and caretakers were right there for us, but with everything so nicely set up there wasn't a thing missing. Laundry a big plus. Host's guide to the cottage and island was top-notch. Thanks Linda!

Beautiful Beach Getaway

The Blue Turtle Cottage is a lovely getaway for two. Cozy and clean, and convenient. The house is centrally located and a short drive to Governors Harbour, but still secluded enough. It’s perfectly laid out with everything you would need. Would love to return!

-Beautiful view of Atlantic from bedroom, living area, & deck! -Wonderful breeze, which allowed sleeping without air conditioner on.-Very quiet and secluded. -Easy walk to sandier part of Double Bay beach. -Appreciated having coolers, beach chairs, umbrella, and towels for visits to many amazing beaches. Favorites included Ten Bay (very calm), Twin Coves (good snorkeling), and Light House (play in the waves where Atlantic meets Caribbean!) (Access owned by Disney, but you can walk there from beach just north of it, which is basically just an extension of same beach. No cruise ships when we went on a Sunday.) -N. Eleuthera airport 1.5 hours drive, so recommend flying into Gov. Harbour if able. -Eleuthera Markets: good variety of groceries. Island Farm for fresh produce!-House very clean and comfortable. (The only reason I gave four stars for property cleanliness is because they were in the process of installing a sidewalk in front that leads to another deck area, so there was some debris from that. Looks like it will be completed soon, so shouldn't be an issue for future guests, who will be able to enjoy using it. Franki, the gentleman working on it, was very friendly. Host, Linda, asked if it would be ok if he worked while we were there, and we agreed it was.) -Everything worked well, so we had no need to contact property managers. Linda immediately responded any time I reached out with questions about the area.-Wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfection!

Everything was even better than we had hoped for. This place is heaven on earth. The property is immaculate and beautiful. The reef in front of the property was amazing and full of marine life. Turtles, dolphins and tons of fish. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Blue Turtle Cottage!

What a cute little house! We loved this place. The views are fantastic, access to the beach couldn’t have been better. Owners were responsive. All the comforts of home. The extra things that made it over the top; the bed was so comfortable, the bedside fan I was so thankful they had, and the hammock out back. Pure perfection

Gorgeous cottage on the beach

Blue Turtle Cottage was amazing. Great location in Central Eleuthera right by Double Bay Beach. Ten Bay Beach is just a short drive across the road. Not far from Governor's Harbour and Palmetto Point. So much to do or do nothing and just relax. It was perfect. And Linda was very easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay so much.

Heaven on earth!!

Blue Turtle Cottage was wonderful!! It was super clean, very well stocked with anything you would need for a comfortable beach vacation including an abundance of beach towels and beach chairs & an umbrella. The house has a cistern and a generator which is like gold on the island. Our communication with Linda was always prompt and pleasant. And the property managers (David and Tatjana) were very accommodating. The house is in a great location and is centrally located, which makes it easy to access the northern or southern tip of the island. I would recommend this rental to anyone!!

Perfect Couples Getaway

Absolutely stunning, secluded spot. Very new, well built, solid cottage sized just right for a couple. Best of all, everything works as it should! From the fridge to the A/C (very important to a Southerner!), to the hot/cold water…even the TV! Not that you’ll be spending that much time in there; just a short walk to an essentially private beach. We may have seen a handful of people in a week…and even then we all have more than enough room to keep to ourselves. At night the blackout curtains and very comfortable bed, pillows, and linens provide for a great night’s sleep. Owners are very friendly and super responsive. And no weird checkout vibes, rituals, or warnings. Just simple and easy. Highly recommended and would stay again.

Paradise found

We absolutely loved Blue Turtle cottage, it was so peaceful and the cottage was exactly as described. The beach was amazing, although it is rocky right out front, there are miles of beach to explore to the left and right. We swam using water shoes right out front and found a beautiful cove to the right about 3 minute walk with no rocks. We wanted peace and quiet and Blue Turtle Cottage provided that! Linda was so responsive and provided the most helpful guide, not only for the cottage, but for the Island as well. We should have taken her suggestion for a rental car company! The guide details the Eleuthera Island exactly as it is, in it’s perfectly natural, beautiful, unrefined state. We will definitely return and cannot wait to visit Blue Turtle cottage again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage! Gabe and Tonya

Beautiful Cottage

Blue Turtle Cottage was an amazing place to stay on Eleuthera! The cottage was a perfect size for the two of us and all the amenities were well thought out/placed. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom/shower was great, and we were very appreciative the property was on a back up generator. We got great use out of the Alexa, the kitchen, and the back deck. If there was anything negative to say it would be I wish I had researched the location more closely. It is a bit of a drive to get to the Queen’s Highway and the beach is more rocky than my personal preference however it is beautiful and there is much to be enjoyed. Like anywhere on the island, don’t be fooled by the idyllic back porch and hammock. The bugs will get you! Come prepared with bug spray and you will be set!

Just what we were looking for!

We were so lucky to find the Blue Turtle. We knew nothing of Eleuthera and just took a chance. This property is right on the Atlantic in beautiful Double Bay. I lovely winding driveway brings you to this cute beach front cottage that was big enough for the 2 of us. We wanted peace and quiet, with nothing but the sound of the waves and that's what we got. The cottage had everything we needed including a nice little kitchen and cookware, gas grill and a comfortable bed. We even got friendly with the island cats and that was a treat. Just up the road is Island Farm. A great place for quality meats, greens, coffee and booze. Get your dinners there. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to Governors Harbour for your dinner at The Buccaneers Club. Just a great experience and the Blue Turtle was the perfect place to stay. We will be back!

Blue Turtle is 300 yards from Double Bay beach, one of the absolute best in Eleuthera. The cottage is right above the shore, but there is no swimming there because of a ridge of rocks.The cottage is functional but has issues. No 1 was the cheap synthetic sheets which gave me an itchy rash--I kept wondering how I had so many bites with no insects around and see that synthetic sheets can cause this reaction.The lighting is poorly planned with no light over the dining table and I had to use a flashlight to read the microwave. Terrible toaster. The shower usually gave lukewarm water, never quite hot. The kitchen utensil draw needs organisers.We had a good time because we loved the beach. The property is aggressively priced.

Two Weeks at Blue Turtle Cottage

My wife and I stayed at Blue Turtle Cottage for two weeks as our honeymoon and we loved our time in Eleuthera. The beach in front of the house was absolutely beautiful with pink sand and crystal clear blue water. There are some rocks in front of the house that are partially submerged but we enjoyed them because they created a long tidepool that was perfect for swimming and using as a lazy river, and also broke any waves that were coming off the Atlantic. Make sure you follow Linda's instructions about taking the trash as much as you can and not leaving ANY food out to avoid attracting flies. The backup generator is a huge plus as well since there are frequent power outages on the Island. It came on automatically and we were never without power for more than a moment. We had an issue with the condensation drains on the air conditioners being clogged and leaking, but Linda and her property managers replied fast and had the issue fixed as soon as possible. Linda was great to work with and answered any questions we had about the island. We would absolutely recommend staying at the Blue Turtle Cottage, as it is perfect for two people and the beach is incredible.
