About this property

Romantic Cottage directly on private Double Bay Beach, Bahamas, "Senza Nome"

Double Bay beach cottage is right on the dune, just steps away from the water. Built in the 1940s, it was the very first structure on Double Bay. The porch provides lovely views up and down the beach. A great place to read, have lunch or relax with a rum punch.
The cottage consists of a living room with kitchenette; a bedroom with a queen size bed, bureau and a nook with shelves, hanging rod and hooks; and a small bathroom with shower. There's also an outdoor shower at the back door, thatched Bahamian style.

Perfect Couples Getaway!

This is our second time staying at the Cottage at Senza Nome! We love it. Charming, cozy, rustic and the best ocean views I’ve ever had. Sleeping to the sound of the waves, the beauty of the property and centrally located, this place is close to perfect!

Like your own piece of heaven

We came here to celebrate our daughter’s graduation with her. As soon as we arrived she couldn’t stop saying “wow” and “it’s so amazing!” The views right from the little cottage make you feel like you are in a movie. The hosts were incredibly helpful, checked in on us and gave us great tips on where to go in the area. We felt very safe and at home right away. We will be back!!

Perfect getaway

The location of this little cottage could not have been more perfect. We checked out several other beaches on the island and honestly felt like this was the best! The house is nothing fancy but had everything we needed and was perfect for us. It is a clean, quaint little cottage with a beautiful view of the beach right out the back door. Will definitely be back.

Perfect!!!

Long story short- I booked this property for next year while sitting on the front porch-that's how incredible it was. It is very quaint and relaxing. Long beach (great for walking) sunrise each morning on the beach with my coffee was the best. Hardly any people around, which I found restful. I am not sure how it could be more perfect.

5 star Cottage

We LOVED the cottage and plan on coming again next year. This is an ideal spot for a quiet vacation. Plenty of towels, clean. Tiny bathroom and kitchen (no freezer). Never used AC. We hope that it continues to stay a "cotttage", very rare that something like this hasn't been transformed into a "house". The main house on the property is set back from the cottage, you don't even see it from the cottage. The information the owner gave us ahead of time was very helpful and much appreciated. Having the phone for local calls was great for making reservations. Perfect vacation spot for us. Bring a soft cooler if you have one.

This was our 4th time to stay on the beautiful island of Eleuthera and it amazes us every time. We stayed in both the cottage and the studio and both were clean and stocked with everything you need. The location is gorgeous and the host responded when we had questions. We highly recommend this property!

We have visited Eleuthera many times and love the island! This was our first stay on this side of Double Bay and WOW! The beach is beautiful and very private with incredible snorkeling along the entire stretch. The house was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. All properties were rented out during our stay, but we still had all the privacy we wanted! Loved the charm and history of the place and the central location made shopping, dining, and sightseeing easy. The AC worked great and the bed was super comfy!

Beach tranquility

Loved our stay at Senza Nome! Steps away from the ocean and the view from the porch was fabulous! Enjoyed chilling on the porch listening to the ocean. The beach cottage was adorable. The property manager was wonderful…..she had the internet up and running a few minutes after we arrived. Definitely planning to return.

Ideal Beach Cottage

This is what we have been searching for our whole lives. Rustic, clean, comfortable, well appointed cottage directly on secluded beach. Miles of sand framing azure waters. Grounds are a botanical garden of hundreds of palms. Private setting on a good road convenient to local shops & Gov Harbor. We will be a back for a much longer stay.

Perfect!

We had another amazing stay at this amazing cozy cottage! Words can't describe how much we love this place! The cottage is lovely ~ has everything you need, super clean, comfortable, and private. It's conveniently located to explore the island & nearby to excellent grocery options. The Senza Nome property is beautiful & well maintained & Double Bay beach is perfection. This visit, we had the opportunity to meet the owners - they were so kind & welcoming. We have fallen in love with Eleuthera & while we have stayed at other properties/ areas on the island ~ once we found this perfect cottage ~ there's no other place we would rather stay. We're already planning our next trip & can't wait to return. Thank you!

Ocean Waves

My husband and I loved our stay at Senza Nome, right on a beautiful blue ocean. Everything you need if you decide to cook meals at cottage. Ten bay beach 10 mins away is calm and shallow water and you can walk out along way. Many places to eat close by, great food. We can't wait to visit again!

You can't get closer to the beach than this cottage. From the porch facing the waves, there is total privacy. The mid-Eleuthera location makes everything easy to get to. Ten Bays beach is 5 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Edwards

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to Eleuthera for the past 25 years. My name is Lisa, and in 2014, my parents decided to purchase this house in order to keep visiting the Bahamas regularly and to bring our families together. I currently live in the city of Kitchener, Ontario Canada with my husband and 2 young children. I have loved this island my entire life and visited regularly as my uncle also owns a property on Double Bay. I was ecstatic when we decided to purchase this property and took on the role of managing the VRBO rentals. My family and I visit twice yearly and we love the beach, the quiet and the island charm. My parents also will visit the island for 3-4 months of the year, when they are not travelling all over the world for their work. I also have a brother who is married and together they have 2 young children. Our family welcomes you to the Bahamas! We hope that you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We selected this home as we loved the property itself with its wide beach frontage, open spaces, crooked palm trees and array of plants. The property also had 3 separate living spaces making it ideal for visitors and guests. We loved the main house as it sprawls along the ocean, giving incredible views in each room. With the additional cottage and studio, it has been an incredible space to host larger groups without compromising your privacy.

What makes this property unique

The property is situated on Double Bay beach, which in my opinion is the nicest beach on Eleuthera. Since the property is located mid-island, it is an ideal spot to explore both the north and southern parts of the island. Additionally, the road to the property is in relatively good condition and easy to access (as some properties can be challenging to get in and out of).
