About this property

Ocean view cottage on a quiet beach just minutes from swimming pigs

*Our property and island was NOT affected by Hurricane Dorian*

Escape to this tropical paradise nestled at the edge of the ocean. Experience full relaxation and privacy in the comfort of an island-style, yet modern cottage. The view from each window is breath taking and so is the pristine beach just outside the front door. Lounge on the wrap around deck to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, watch a Bahamian sunset or simply stargaze at nights while grilling your favorite catch. A full kitchen with appliances and utensils along with a washer and dryer adds to the convenience of your stay. After a day of adventure with the nearby world renown swimming pigs or tamed sharks, iguanas or simply snorkeling the famous James Bond, Thunderball Grotto or fishing, and sightseeing, turn in at nights to a comfortable queen size master bedroom with a private bathroom and a twin guest room with its private bathroom - all designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.

Amazing cottage & Lovely hosts!

This is an amazing cottage with unbelievable views and access (via private path) to a beautiful beach. The hosts are gracious, thoughtful, and accommodating. You couldn't ask for a better setting on Staniel Cay. You will need to rent a golf cart to enjoy this location and to get around--which was so much fun and a part of the charm of Staniel Cay! Our family greatly enjoyed our stay!

Second stay at Harbor Blue and we will continue returning. We love everything about this place! The layout is perfect with each bedroom having its own bathroom and patio sliders.

My family of 4 had a wonderful 5 night stay at this cottage. It's on a great spot on the island with gin-clear water and a powdery, white sand beach. The communication with Sophia was top-notch, she answered questions quickly and thoroughly. We had a little maintenance issue and it was handled right away, the same evening! Don and Sophia are the nicest hosts with true Bahamian hospitality. I look forward to hopefully visiting again soon.

Blue Harbor Cottage

We had a fantastic stay at a lovely cottage. The location is stunning and the hosts, Sophia & Don, are fabulous. You won’t go wrong if you stay here, the island is extremely easy to get around with lots of activities or just chilling on the deck enjoying the view.

Beautiful location perfect home

You cannot find a more beautiful view from a deck. The location is amazing with a swimming beach that is almost empty of people most of the time. You can see turtles and stingrays when snorkeling from the beach. The house has everything you need and is very well taken care of. The owners are helpful and we are incredibly grateful that we were able to stay in their home.

Absolute Heaven

I almost hate to be honest about this amazing cottage because I'd like to keep it a secret for my family! The location of this quaint 2 bedroom/2 bath can't be beat, though you will need a golf cart to get to the grocery stores and restaurants. Your deck is perched above stunning turquoise water and you can hear the waves gently lapping and lulling you to sleep at night if you leave the sliding doors open (there are screens to prevent any bugs from entering). There's a short walkway to a beautiful little beach (Pirate Beach), but be careful, currents are very strong in between the cuts in the Exumas, like a powerful river. The best time to swim is slack tide---that's 30 minutes on either side of high and low tide. Thankfully it's pretty shallow so you can plant your feet. It's obvious by the change in water color where it's deep and where it's shallow. Haven't seen too many fish while swimming here, but I think that's got a lot to do with the strong current. There are better snorkel spots in other places around the cay. This is a peaceful paradise, perfect for unplugging and living Pura Vida. There is AC and Wi-Fi if you need it. No question, we'll we back.

Stunningly Beautiful

My wife and our 2 teenage boys had an amazing stay on Staniel Cay at the Harbor Blue Cottage. The house was spacious, clean, and with brand new modern appliances and air conditioning. The view from the deck of small bay off Pirates Beach was stunningly beautiful. There's a small path down to the beach itself which is semi-private and delightful. Many of the previous guests in the sign in book had been there before, and we can see why. It will be hard to go anywhere else in the Carribean after this!

Paradise

There is not enough words to say how much our family (2 adults and 2 teens) enjoyed our stay. Sophia was full of information and helped make sure our time at Staniel Cay was perfect. Don made everything seemless once we arrived. We are grateful for both of them and their wealth of information. The rental was comfortable and provided everything we needed for a homebase during our week of adventures in the Exumas. We hope to be back sooner than later, especially if it involves a big hug from Don. Thank you guys 💙💛 - The Moore Fam
