About this property

Whistling Duck: Private Oceanfront Cottage

New owners in 2022 but the same property manager, and the same great environment that returning guests enjoyed in the past.

Whistling Duck is a romantic one bedroom cottage, approx 600 sq ft. It has air conditioning, and a full kitchen, living room, full bath with an inside shower, plus an outside shower, and a king sized bed. It’s located on beautiful Lochabar Point Beach in Clarence Town, Long Island, Bahamas. Three islands border the harbour in front to protect and calm the water. Wonderful for swimming and snorkeling! Inside French doors open into the bedroom with a connecting bathroom. A private veranda with an attached outdoor shower is accessible from the bedroom. Windows abound with special water views. The covered porch deck leads to a path, and a few steps take you to a covered palapa placed right at the water’s edge.

This cottage has privacy but is within a short drive to well stocked stores and great island restaurants. It is a self caretaking cottage with the option for a fee of daily housekeeping.

Incredible Stay
This was our first time to Long Island. The best decision we made was staying at the Whistling Duck. Before our trip Peter was great with answering my emails. We were greeted by the manager Violet, who showed us around and gave us a lot of useful information. The place is very cozy. Great front and back porches to enjoy the sounds of the water. The gazebo by the water was our favorite place to hang out. We did swim in front of the house when the tide was right. Lochabar Bay is beautiful. A highlight of our trip was kayaking across the bay and around the Blue Hole. The outdoor shower was incredible. Nothing like hearing the waves and seeing the stars. The outdoor clothes line was very handy. The house is well equipped with everything we needed. Visit Erica’s bakery for incredible banana bread and meet this kind woman. The house is centrally located to explore the island. Lighthouse point has great fish tacos. The pig roast Friday nights at Rowdy boys was fun. Gordon’s is a must and about 30 minutes away. North you will find Tiny’s, Chez Pierre and Harbour club around 45 minutes. Thank you Pam and Peter for sharing this great property. We will be back.

Paradise
Whistling Duck was an absolute tropical treasure. The beauty and sounds of the aqua-teal waters and breezes met us everyday and lulled us to sleep each night. Peter was so helpful and accommodating with transportation issues and overall guidance. When we had a huge storm and lost power, Violet the property manager was available to assist and even checked up on us the next day. The house is clean, cozy, quiet, and has everything you need with a porch and deck perfect for relaxing and stargazing. Beach at our doorstep and short walk to the Lochabar Bay nearby. The island was easy to get around and we enjoyed the food and people. This was a very special vacation we won't forget.

Absolute heaven
This house is adorable first off. In perfect condition, extremely clean. The location….you CANNOT explain how beautiful it is here. The beach basically out the front door, the breeze, the view. If you want a place to relax and enjoy a beautiful island with no crowds, this is the island. The hosts Peter and Pam are more than helpful, we did not have a question unanswered. We appreciated them.
