About this property

Cozy Cottage steps from Rainbow Bay Beach; Tennis

This charming hillside home is located in Rainbow Bay, directly across from the beautiful & secluded Rainbow Bay beach, Eleuthera. This private and fully furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage is situated on 1/3 acre of land surrounded by lush and mature island vegetation with beautiful sea views from the large verandah. The cottage has central air-conditioning and satellite TV, landline phone, very fast Starlink WIFI, a cozy living room, dine-in kitchen, dishwasher, charcoal grill, and an outdoor shower. The master bedroom has a queen bed. The guest bedroom has twin beds which can be converted to a king bed.

Key Lime Cottage is ideal for families, couples and honeymooners, and is situated literally across the small road (a minute's walk) from Rainbow Bay's private beach. The beach itself offers sparkling white sand and crystal clear azure waters perfect for shelling, snorkeling and fishing and is a naturally protected cove. Convenient picnic benches, secluded tiki huts on the beach are included as part of the rental. Rainbow Bay also has a private tennis court.

Rainbow Bay offers one of the best snorkeling spots on the island. From the above pictures you can see a small peninsula which juts out into the Caribbean. It is home to many of the island's tropical fish and rays. If you are a snorkeler, you will not be disappointed. From Key Lime cottage, you also have easy access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches.

It is just a mile to the acclaimed Rainbow Inn, which offers some of the best food on the island and live music many evenings. The nearest market for supplies is located just a few minutes away by car if you choose to cook at home in the fully-equipped kitchen. There is also now an organic vegetable farm five minutes to the north from the villa.

Centrally located on Eleuthera, Key Lime cottage is the is the perfect location for exploring the whole island north to south, from Harbor Island to Lighthouse Point, 100 miles of beaches, beauty and history. It is only 15 minutes from Governor's Harbor airport and 25 minutes from Governor's Harbor.

Eleuthera is a very friendly and safe island. It is a beautiful, relaxed destination with turquoise seas, and beautiful sunny weather. Once you come, you will definitely want to return.

Cozy cottage

Even though there were a few hicups, the stay was nice. Plenty of towels, snorkling gear, floats, I left some new ones in pkgs. Parking was not the best. I would stay there again or reccomend it to someone else.

Comfortable, good location

We spent a week here as a family with 2 kids and loved the cottage (and Eleuthera). Spaceous appartment, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, well equipped with all we could need, plus fins, deck chairs, hammock, and just steps away from beautiful Rainbow Beach, always good for a dip in the morning or evening. From here all of North and Central Eleuthera is easily reachable. One of the books at the cottage was very valuable: A catalogue of beaches on Eleuthera provided us with many ideas, and the feeling we would need to come back to see the other 120 beaches ;-)

Paradise!

We were looking for a house that was close to the beach with all the boxes checked. Key Lime Cottage did not disappoint. With the beautiful Rainbow Bay beach just across the street and the central location it was the perfect pick! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The communication with the owners was excellent.

Key Lime Cottage

As a couple we were looking for a simple, reasonably priced rental walking distance to the breach. This property is just what we were looking for and did not disappoint. It is charming, literally a 1 minute walk out the front door to Rainbow Beach, and everything was as advertised. Brenda was accessible and helped us out with an extra beach chair - thank you Brenda! We would definitely consider staying again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Key Lime Cottage in Rainbow Bay was the perfect little spot for our anniversary trip. The house is located across the street from one of the best beaches on Eleuthera. There’s a little trail directly across the street to the beach. You are secluded by landscaping so it feels super private. The home had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.

Sarah and Brenda were responsive and so easy to reach. The place was spotless. Rainbow bay in general is the perfect location to enjoy the neighbourhood and the island. You cannot go wrong with rental. Don’t hesitate to choose Key Lime cottage.

Short visit to key lime house

It was a nice place. Across from the beach is convenient too. Just about everything you need for a comfortable visit. AC worked well. I would certainly recommend the place. I was ok with the bed but my said she was not comfortable in it at all. Only issues they need to address is they really need a set of new sharp knives and a sink stop that works. Also the TV was not working at all . We had to stream online on our devices the whole trip.

I wish they would bury 3.5 % credit card charge ln their nightly cost (the only way you may pay and your charged for it. I must have missed that class in good business 101. It would be kinder and more friendly if VRBO just hide it, we are travelers not cash targets for the cost +++.

Island oasis

This was our second trip to stay at Key Lime cottage...Nice Central location and right across the street from the best beach on the island..This unit comes with everything you will need.. It has a front deck that has a partial cover and is great for hanging out..Very few neighbors at this location , so its pretty peaceful..Down the Queens highway is stores big rock and east/final for food items and places to eat.. We at at Mels and got some food on the weekend from Brendas/Billys BBQ..Make sure you stop by Glass bridge bar&grill for one of the best views and the best conch fritters I have ever had...You might even see a stingray cruising around the bay...Caretakers Brenda and her daughter Lisa, were always helpful in answering our questions and sharing knowledge about island stuff...Yes, gasoline was 6.24 a gallon and food is expensive, but eating out was pretty reasonable..We love this island for the quiet beauty there.. No fast food places, Starbucks or condos lining every beach..You might just be the only one on the beach.. We would stay here again on our next trip...

Island Vibes

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Me and my hubs thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Key Lime Cottage was in a lovely location. I can not imagine another location being better. The cottage was comfortable and supplied with all we needed. We met the caretakers at their Friday/Saturday Bar-b-que and we're the loveliest people. I highly recommend stopping for their food. A major highlight was the locals. Everyone was warm, friendly and delightful to talk to. I loved the relaxed vibe on the island. There were no fast food or restaurant chains in Eleuthera. I loved all the secluded beaches. A busy beach might have had 12-15 people. the views were all breathtaking.We traveled the island north to south stopping at different beaches, Twin Coves, Surfers Beach, Ten Bay, Tay Bay, Rainbow Bay, Tippy's beach, Harbor Island, to name a few. We explored caves and snorkeled and met other vacationers. We ate at Tippy's Restaurant, Harbor Pointe, Delish restaurant, Rainbow Inn restaurant, and several small take out places like DJ's Cafe and Cravings. I would recommend them all.I recommend Eleuthera Island and Key Lime Cottage to friends, family, and strangers.

It is directly across from the Rainbow Bay Beach. We had 1 day where the power was out for about 5 hours but there were plenty of candles & a flashlight. Bottled water was provided. The master bed is very hard, but I made it work. Plenty of linens & beach supplies.

Rainbow beach was one of the nicest beaches we visited and every morning and evening we had it to ourselves. The people at Elieuthera vacation rentals were extremely helpful in helping us find rental car and things to do while on Eleuthera. I highly recommend this company and cottage to anyone looking for a great vacation.
