Overview & Photos
Orchid Cottage is a fully air conditioned, bright and lovely Bahamian cottage, on Old Banks Road steps from the Atlantic Ocean beach. It is surrounded by swaying palm trees, beautiful foliage, and tropical flowers. Walk two minutes from the front deck and a magnificent ocean view unfolds.
Upon arrival, our property managers will meet you at the Banana Beach Estates gate. You will be greeted with complimentary Bahamian drinks and appetizers. Our staff is utterly lovely, and they make every effort to make sure you are well taken care of.
The open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen areas allow your entire group to interact during cooking, eating, and family activities. The turquoise and pineapple accents bring a coastal feel to the cottage. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need to prepare your meals and it offers the convenience of a washing machine. The cathedral ceiling gives the cottage an airy feeling. Enjoy the Smart TV with access to your Netflix account or use our Fire Stick with numerous international and local channels as well as FREE Pay Per View movies. Connect to the web by way of free internet.
One bedroom has a queen bed and the second has a king bed, that can be converted into two twin beds. The entire cottage is equipped with ceiling fans along with a/c units in the bedrooms & loft. Beautiful linens, bath towels, and beach towels have been carefully selected to make your stay comfortable. Between the two bedrooms is a coastal three-piece bathroom. The large walk-in shower has sea glass, shells, and pebbles from the Atlantic Ocean embedded in the floor. An additional shower is located outside by the deck.
Enjoy relaxing on the outdoor sectional, drink your morning coffee or sip on an island cocktail, as you listen to the ocean's waves lapping on the shore. In the evenings, the deck is a terrific location to gaze at the infinite numbers of stars in the dark Eleuthera sky. The charcoal grill can be used to prepare the most delicious fresh fish, as the kids play on the grass, or family members take a wonderful walk along our cottage road. Enjoy the tropical location of Old Banks Road, get away from the crowds, and marvel at the variety of tropical flora and fauna.
A short walk along the path takes you to one of the most amazing, pink sand beaches in the world. Bring along the beach chairs and a cooler to enjoy hours and hours of fun. Your first sighting of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean will take your breath away. This incredible beach can be traveled for miles. Spend your day tanning, shelling, wading by the reef, snorkeling, watching the dolphins, boogie boarding, or building sandcastles. A short drive away is French Leave Beach, Twin Coves, the Naval Beach, and the calm waters of Cocodimama. The choices are endless.
Plus, you are only a short walk from Sky Beach Club, with Pascal's Restaurant, Sammy’s swim-up bar, oceanfront infinity pool, hot tub, and resort amenities. And Orchid Cottage is only a few minutes' drive from the lovely town of Governor's Harbour, with its century homes, restaurants, stores, and library.
If you require more space, our three-bedroom house (Shangri-La) is also available. It has an open concept design with soaring ceilings and is located a short distance from Orchid Cottage. Each property offers nice privacy, with large palm trees and foliage between the two. Shangri-La and Orchid Cottage would allow your large group extended space and privacy.

We have been staying at Orchid Cottage since 2013. It's in a perfect location on the island.
The owners give above and beyond to make your stay the very best. The property managers are also wonderful. Always a phone call away. The cottage always smells so clean and fresh.

It is just so wonderful that you have been staying at Orchid Cottage each year since 2013. Not only do we look forward to your yearly visit, but our property managers and all of our staff do as well. We thank you for loving the island as we do and for giving back to Eleuthera's community. We are so very lucky that you have chosen our little cottage to return to time after time and that you stay for an extended period. Thank you for your five star review. We couldn't ask for better guests and we look forward to your visit in 2025!

Our stay at Orchid Cottage was wonderful. Checking in was a bit rough and we had a few issues with our car rental, but after that everything went smoothly. We had our own private beach, the cottage was clean and comfortable. All of the people on the island were very friendly and helpful. The change of pace and the peace on the island was definitely needed and appreciated. Most of the restaurants we went to were great. The food is expensive but of good quality. We enjoyed exploring everything Eleuthera had to offer. Renting a car so that you have full access to the island and checking out some of the wonderful foods trucks is a must!
Manager Responded on 6/18/2024
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Orchid Cottage. As first time visitors to The Bahamas, it's wonderful to know that you enjoyed your stay so much. Our beach certainly feels as though it is a private beach, especially when you can walk for miles and see only a handful of people. Thank you for choosing to stay at Orchid Cottage. We hope that you and your daughter return again very soon.

Thank you for choosing Orchid Cottage for your week respite. We're glad to hear that the front porch became a favourite gathering place and that our central location on Eleuthera allowed for lots of exploring. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

We have had the pleasure of staying at Orchid cottage five times over the years and it never disappoints. The cottage is always top notch spotless when we arrive and we are greeted by the caretaker whom is a seasoned pro. It is located on Old Banks road, which in my mind is the best place to be as it is very quiet and steps away from pink sand beach. The cottage is very comfortable making it a pleasure to hang out and cook fresh caught fish, do some island crafting and enjoy a cocktail.Our three weeks was perfect, but never seems long enough. Until next tyme Island of Freedom. ❤️����❤️
Manager Responded on 4/6/2024
We are so happy that you chose Orchid Cottage as your home away from home for three weeks. It is always a pleasure to have the two of you as our guests. Your love for Eleuthera is evident by your involvement in all that the island has to offer. Thank you for noting our peaceful location, wonderful staff, and cozy cottage. Old Banks Road, coconut palms, and a pink sand beach make it such a relaxing spot. The artwork that you created for us, from beach finds, is so beautiful. Thank you for choosing to stay at Orchid Cottage again. See you soon!

Had the pleasure of staying at Orchid Cottage for the month of February. Place was as advertised. A well-maintained cottage with everything you could need for your stay. Set on corner of Old Banks Road and a gated road. Very little traffic and 100 yards for the ocean. Lachandra is an outstanding hostess. Also rented my car from Lachandra. The entire process was seamless. Is a great location on the island. About 4 miles north of Gov. Harbor. Just a short drive to 1648, Buccaneers, Tippys, The Deck, and gas station, grocery store, and liquor store. A perfect spot for those looking for a place to land at night and regroup for the next day.
Manager Responded on 3/2/2024
It was a pleasure hosting you for your month-long-stay at Orchid Cottage. As a return guest to the island, it's nice to know that you took full of advantage of the amazing restaurants, diving opportunities, and daily visits to our beautiful, pink sand beach. Thank you for mentioning the great job that Lachadra did in taking care of you during your stay. She always goes above and beyond to welcome our guests. We look forward to welcoming you and your wife back to Orchid Cottage next year.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Orchid Cottage. We rarely have solo travelers to the island, so it's great for our future guests to know that they too could enjoy a week away on their own. We're happy that you enjoyed the deck, the cottage, and the beach. If you plan another solo getaway, we'd be pleased to welcome you back to Orchid Cottage.

We love the cottage! We've been staying here since 2013. It is perfect for our needs. Close to the Ocean and GH, which has restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, gas and more. And it's in the middle of the island so not far to go to beaches north or south.
The property managers are the very best. They have become friends over the years. You will not find better owners. They truly want you to have the best experience during your stay. And will do everything
to remedy any concerns you may have during your stay.
The cottage is clean and has everything you need for
meals, sleeping and going to the beach. We continue to recommend the cottage to all our friends and family.

Orchid Cottage was the sweetest spot for our holiday on Eleuthera. Centrally located near Governor’s Harbour we were a short drive from the market, shops and restaurants. The within a 1 minute walk to the beach was awesome. We enjoyed our low tide and Old Banks Road walks. The owner, Shawna, was so kind and accommodating - answering all our questions and providing great guidance and recommendations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Orchid cottage is equipped with all that is needed for a most comfortable stay. Beautiful touches to a space well cared for. Spent a great deal of time on the front porch curled up with a good book listening to the roar of the Atlantic. The beach and the swimming absolutely incredible! Old Banks road is the perfect pathway for a stroll to visit Pascal’s, the neighbourhood bar and grill where you will be welcomed like an old friend! We had a most wonderful time!

Orchid Cottage is a light, peaceful gem. The house is steps from the Atlantic -and you fall asleep listening to the waves. We particularly enjoyed the porch for watching birds, reading, drinking coffee. Governor's Harbor is minutes away. Highlights include the Buccaneer's Club (the best conch fritters) , Island Farms fresh vegetables and bread, Location gift shop, and a day snorkeling and fishing with Big Mac. The house is just as pictured and includes everything you might need. Lachandra was welcoming and helpful. This was our first time in Eleuthera, and we can't wait to return.

We love your description of Orchid Cottage as a light, peaceful gem. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the beach and that you fell asleep listening to the waves.

We hope that you will choose to stay with us again.

The Orchid Cottage was the perfect, cozy and clean place for our 3 days spent in Eleuthera. We were welcomed with a snack, water and cold Bahamian drinks. The cottage is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach that was basically private. The hosts provided beach chairs, towels, snorkeling gear and more! They were also extremely helpful with suggesting places to go, and answering all our questions. We also felt very safe as the cottage is located in a gated community. We had a great experience and would highly recommend. Thank you!

The quick access to our beach makes it possible to enjoy a morning dip in the Atlantic, beachcombing, and soaking up the sun. We look forward to welcoming you back to Eleuthera.

Orchid Cottage and the island of Eleuthera were wonderful. The cottage itself is spacious for a couple or a family with small children and has everything you would need. Perfectly located near to the beach for early morning walks. A rental car is most definitely needed to get around and for adventuring as there is lots to see on the island.

You won't need to bring anything but your duds and plenty of dollars for groceries and restaurants. Guess you have to pay for paradise. O cottage is centrally located mid island so perfect for exploring. Overall Orchid cottage exceeded expections and the people who live here have to be the nicest anywhere.
