Cozy stone studio cottage on private pink sand beach
Double Bay is centrally located on Eleuthera, about 4 miles south of Palmetto Point on the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is a two mile stretch of pink sand with coral reefs dotted along the beach. It's a very private area with mostly large estate homes. We have 6 acres of land on the beach which we have left undisturbed except a clearing around the house and a path cut through to the beach.
This newly renovated stone cottage was the first structure on Double Bay. Repotly built as a fisherman's cottage, we unearthed the cottage from the bush, gave it a major overhaul, and ended up with a lovely, modern studio cottage with everything you need and more! The cottage is located toward the south end of Double Bay and may be rented alone or in tandem with Palms cottage. The cottage is surrounded by palmetto palms, with a winding path several hundred feet to beautiful Double Bay. The stone exterior is surrounded by wide covered porches with plenty of space for relaxing, dining, or a secluded outdoor shower. The exterior porches are a new addition to the original stone structure.
The interior is entirely new, from ceiling to floor. Tall wooden tray ceilings enhance the open floor plan. The open floor plan includes a full kitchen, bedroom and sitting area with a separate bathroom. A washer/dryer, air conditioning and ceiling fans are included. Our local craftsman built the kitchen cabinets and most all of the bedroom furniture. Local talent is further evident in the art and furnishings around the cottage. A fully equipped kitchen, all towels, linens and even beach chairs are included with your rental.
We have owned Palms cottage on the same stretch for 20+ years,. The homes are completely separate from each other and totally private. We have put the same care into the construction and will maintain the new stone cottage as we have Palms all these years. We are looking forward to welcoming new guests to share in the beauty of Double Bay

My wife and I had a wonderful week at the Stone Cottage. The beach was beautiful and private, we barely saw anyone. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the mornings with coffee and in the evening after a day on the beach. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. The house was perfect for what we needed and we will definitely be planning another trip back!
Outstanding. Most beautiful setting. The cottage was cozy as described. Very private with all amenities.Microwave,hair dryer,beach chairs,excellent wi-fi,etc…A little bumpy road to get to it and then just perfect..A short walk in a trail thru nature at its best and then the most magnificent scene opens up on Double Bay, a beach that could not be more beautiful. Completely alone withMiles of sandy shore.Ann and Clyde at the Eleuthera Farmwe’re easily reached for any questions. Definitely a must go-back experience
Spent a pleasant week here. Building is new, in great condition, and well appointed. Loved the wrap-around porch and outdoor shower. It is on the ocean side of Banks Rd, but beach is a short walk down a path through the palmettos. Double Bay is, as is the case for most of Eleuthera, very beautiful and almost completely deserted (we saw only a handful of people on the beach throughout the entire week). Very convenient location more or less in the center of the island allowing easy access to points north and south. Be advised that the kitchen contains essentially no pantry staples (salt & pepper, cooking oil, etc), so if you intend to cook at home you should plan to provision everything you think you'll need.
We enjoyed our stay because we wanted to explore the South end of the island. The studio was a good fit. We loved the large porch and hammock. The only problem was construction noise from down the road & workers coming into the yard doe water quite frequently.
This charming house with its expansive wraparound porch was perfect for my wife and me. No traffic, no noise and no neighbors to speak of. You are a short walk down a private path to gorgeous Double Bay Beach, that you will have pretty much to yourself. The grounds are delightful and the outdoor shower and charcoal Weber grill are nice touches. You are 15 minutes from Island Farm which has everything you need, including beer, wine and liquor, and is run by the house manager. A little further is 3Js which has good, cheap takeout. So happy we booked this house. Our flight was cancelled and we had to arrive the next day but we were accommodated with no issues. I would return in a heartbeat.
Where do we begin. The interior of this beautiful studio is very modern with a lovely bathroom, equipped kitchen, new washer/dryer, and comfortable bed. But the size of your living space increases significantly with a private wrap-around porch that includes a fantastic hammock and comfortable chairs and table. The grounds are stunning: beautifully landscaped and maintained. Don't think for a moment that it's a pain to walk to the perfect beach: the walk is spacious, easy, and a soothing preparation for the beach landscape that opens before you. 10 out of 10.
We had great time at the cottage. This was our first trip to Bahamas. Everything was as described. Anne, the property manager was always available and very helpful with any questions. Thanks a lot Anne.
We loved the stone cottage. It is absolutely perfect for a couple. The grounds were kept up beautifully and the short easy path to the ocean was absolutely amazing! The kitchen was equipped very well, we cooked all of our meals. Anne & Clyde the property managers were so nice, answered all our questions and always available by text. We will be back.
We had the privilege of spending 2 weeks of our vacation at ghe stone cottage. Perfect location and everything you would need is available. The beach priceless!!!that sand so soft blue crystal water. The privacy!!! Most days we had the entire beach to ourselves.
Thank you Anne for all your help and hospitality. See you next year.

The cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway. Not far from Governor's Harbor. The grounds and beach are completely private. This was our 2nd stay for our 40th Anniversary and it did not dissappoint. Memorable!
My wife and I are seasoned travelers to the Bahamas. This was our second stay in Eleuthera and first time to the stone cottage. We were more than pleased with everything about the location and accommodations. The house is just as advertised. It's a small bungalow - but well built/equipt and very comfortable. The outside porch is spacious and provides a great space away from the sun. The path to the beach is wide and well cleared. Not good for folks with mobility issues, but fine otherwise. The roads are bad - opt for the SUV rental care. Beach is perfect for long walks and serious chillaxing. Area offers plenty to do with good food options. I would HIGHLY recommend the Stone Cottage as a couples get away, no regrets.
This was our second stay and the property is perfect for a couple. We experienced one day of rain and the covered wrap around porch accommodated an afternoon of reading just perfectly. House is well appointed with dishware and cooking utensils. There were beach towels and some chairs to take to the beach. The beach you will almost always have all to yourself. Only negative was no wineglasses 😊
The Stone Cottage was a perfect quiet getaway for my husband and I. The beach at the house was absolutely beautiful, the water was refreshing and we saw very few people. It’s super close to the Island Farm where we bought most of our groceries to cook. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Had a few Wi-Fi issues that Anne, the property manager, helped us with and was very approachable and gracious. If we ever return to Eleuthera this is where we will stay!!!! Thank you for a real good time!!!
This private property was the perfect solution to our vacation. As we traveled down the road to the property the sun was setting. I feared that we wouldn't be able to explore the outside. As luck would have it, we pulled in the driveway to catch the sun setting on the beautiful landscaped yard.
The house was a little slice of heaven that we were looking for. It was clean and welcoming. The privacy of the location was at the tip of the spear for our relaxation. As we explored the beautifully manicured yard, we found an inviting trail. As we continued further, the crashing of the ocean basically called out to us. The trails end opened up to an outstanding sight.
It was our own private beach, with pink sand and a small Island just off to our left. My breath was taken away by sight of it. The seclusion was just what we needed to connect to each other without distractions.
The host was exceptionally nice and concerning that our stay was at its best. She was very helpfuland was only a txt and phone call away when we had questions. I would definitely book another stay, thank you so much for having us.

We enjoyed this little house so much! It is a very private, secluded location with a beautiful beach. The house is charming and extremely well-appointed! Other than food and drink, there is absolutely everything there that one might need for a wonderful, relaxing vacation. The big wraparound porch is a very comfortable place to read, relax, and have a meal.
The path to the beach is beautiful and well-maintained, although would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues, as it’s a bit hilly and winding. Otherwise, it only takes a few minutes, and the beach is definitely worth the walk!
If read the description and it appeals to you, then you will not be disappointed! It’s exactly as described and pictured.

Why they chose this property
We bought our first property, Palms at Double Bay in 1995. We added the property to the north some 12 years later and discovered a small stone cottage buried in the bush, reportedly the first structure built on Double Bay. We didn't have the heart to tear it down so we contracted with a local builder and completely renovated the cottage, adding porches to the footprint. We are excited to offer this special cottage to guests as we have Palms for the past 20 years.
What makes this property unique
Palms cottage has always been a place of privacy and peace. When renovating the stone house we took great care in retaining its island flavor and the privacy of both homes. We cut a separate path to the beach and have begun a few plantings around the house. The south end of Double Bay is especially private because there are few homes there. The beach in front of the property is all sand and extends into the water on either side. And then there is Double Bay, a beautiful two mile stretch of pink sand.
