About this property

Lo key - Island Gypsy Gorgeous cottage apartment on Cocoa Bay

Island Gypsy part of Lo key cottages. A fully renovated 2-bedroom apartment sitting directly on Coco Bay, Green Turtle Cay, Abaco Bahamas — with a huge covered porch overlooking the water, Starlink internet, backup generator, central AC, and wild green sea turtles swimming just off your doorstep.
This is not a typical Bahamian rental. Every inch of this apartment was stripped and rebuilt from the ground up. The result is a modern, comfortable, properly equipped home base for your Out Island escape — without sacrificing the barefoot, unhurried pace that makes Green Turtle Cay one of the most beloved destinations in the Bahamas.
Bedrooms: 2 | Bathrooms: 1 | Sleeps: 4
Building: Solid concrete construction
Climate: Central air conditioning throughout
Kitchen: Fully equipped, modern finishes, dishwasher
Laundry: In-unit laundry room — washer and dryer
Internet: Starlink satellite — fast, reliable connectivity
Power: Backup generator — no disruption during island outages
Outdoor Space: Large covered porch directly overlooking Coco Bay
Views: Unobstructed Coco Bay bay views
Why Coco Bay / Coco Bay is the jewel of Green Turtle Cay. Its warm, shallow, impossibly clear water is home to a resident population of wild green sea turtles that guests encounter regularly from shore and while snorkeling. Beyond the turtles, the area offers easy access to stingray flats, swimming pigs, bonefishing, and deserted sandbars — experiences that define the Out Island Bahamas and that most of the Caribbean simply cannot match.
We can connect you directly with Captain David Farrington, one of the island's best guides, for a personalized half-day or full-day excursion. It is the single best thing you can do on the island and guests consistently call it the highlight of their trip. Green Turtle Cay is a picturesque island that stretches 3 miles long and half a mile wide, making it easy to explore on foot or by golf cart.
Accessible only by water taxi from Treasure Cay ferry dock — and that's exactly the point. You leave the noise behind the moment you step on the ferry. Coco Bay is the island's most beloved stretch of water, famous for its resident population of wild green sea turtles that swim freely in the shallows just off the shore. Stingray encounters, swimming pigs, and world-class bonefishing are minutes away by boat.
We can connect you with Captain David Farrington for a half-day or full-day boat excursion covering the sea turtle sanctuary, swimming pigs, stingray flats, and snorkeling spots that most visitors never find on their own. A Note from Your Host
Lo Key Cottages has been welcoming guests to Coco Bay for years. We are an owner-operated property and we are genuinely invested in making your stay exceptional. Whether it's a restaurant recommendation, a boat referral, or insider knowledge on where the turtles are gathering this week — we are here and we are responsive.

The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. We did lose power one day due to a strong storm on the island, and the property doesn’t have a generator, so just something to keep in mind. The location is fantastic, right across the street from Cocoa Bay, where you can spot and feed sea turtles in the mornings. It’s also just a quick 5-minute drive to both the Green Turtle Club and the Bluff House. Overall, a great stay!

Lo Key High Enjoyment!

The Lo Key cottage is in a perfect location, right on Coco Bay. Easy access to the municipal boat dock and turtle and stingrays. Also, 2 minutes from where we got off the ferry and picked up the golf cart. Host was very responsive!

Great location. Very peaceful stay. Didn’t have enough chairs for everyone to sit at the table on the porch to eat (the only dining area). We only had two folding chairs that were operable. Communication with host was prompt and helpful.

Decompress

After several months of dealing with a hurricane in the mountains, we needed a break. We have stayed at this property in the past and have always found it to be perfect for us. Just the right size with all the amenities we could want. The host has always responded to questions and ensured we had all our needs met. We will be back! Plus, the turtles are a short walk away.

Beautiful Spot

This house has most beautiful view. Only problem is no one on island knows the name Island Gypsy. House is known as Low Key. Took an hour to find someone that knew where we where staying. Beautiful place to stay.

It was hard to find the cottage since the roads have no names or addresses. I guess the island is small enough that everyone refers to the house names, which made it confusing for first timers. But once we found the cottage we enjoyed the location on the Coco Cove where they have sting rays, turtles, and nurse sharks who appear tame! It is a beautiful walk to lovely beaches and much easier golf cart ride.

Unbelievable Lovely Place to Stay

James place, the ground floor apartment of Lo Key Cottage was just about perfect for us. Easy communication. Great price. SUPER clean. Plus, that fantastic screened in porch, a huge very comfortable couch, ample linens and towels, and actually comfortable beds. The location is insane. Quiet and basically in the shores of Coco Bay where’s it’s easy to make friends with stingrays and sea turtles. Absolutely gorgeous. If the only things missing are pepper and towel racks, that’s hardly anything. We’d totally stay there again, though we’d hope for upstairs neighbors with a lighter step;)Five out of five stars. Easily. High recommend!!!

Disliked: Communication
Very comfortable, clean and well stocked home. Outside bathroom needed cleaning or refreshing before check in. Tree limbs obstructed view to sea. Would have liked a standing grill. Only 3 chairs for patio set when we arrived, 4th had to be searched for. Couldn’t turn fans on patio on. Needed candles or repellent for bugs or recommendations for guests to bring with them. While it’s the little things that affect the overall experience I would still recommend this property. Host or caretaker should have emergency number in unit if needed.

Very nice VRBO

Clean and quaint. Great for family, single quasi-private bathroom between bedrooms. We rented only first floor. I believe that listing indicated beach chairs, none were found, but we didn't ask. Owner was very responsive to all of our requests. Screened Porch is very nice, keeps mosquitoes out (but not no-seeums) bring bug spray. Overall wonderful place!
