Overview & Photos

Gallery

Just completed in 2023, Bica Bungalow is a stunning private cottage directly on world-famous French Leave Beach, the most sought-after location on Eleuthera.

Inside, Bica has a master suite furnished with a king bed that faces the sea through a large picture window and a pair of sliding glass doors.
The spacious great room also has ocean views throughout. The kitchen, finished in quartz and stainless steel, is fully equipped with a gas range and oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and all necessary cookware, dishes, and flatware.

The great room opens onto a large oceanfront porch furnished for lounging and dining. Walk across the yard and down a short path and you are on French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand with famously protected water.

Amenities include filtered water system, air conditioning, WIFI, washer & dryer, paddle boards, beach chairs and beach umbrella, and a whole-house back-up generator.

Bica Bungalow is just one mile from Governors Harbour, the main town on the island. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won’t want to miss it.

Nearby restaurant include Bacchus Fine Foods (gourmet restaurant and food store, which is walking distance), The Buccaneer (Bahamian cuisine with Caribbean-Chinese fusion), Tippy’s (international and fusion), La Bougainvillea (international cuisine), 1648 Restaurant (Bahamian cuisine inspired by European influences), and Pascal’s at Sky Beach Club (International cuisine with Bahamian influences), Da Perk (coffee shop and sandwiches),.

LINDA K. from NORWICH, VERMONT United States recommends this vacation rental.

Charming - adorable, totally livable cottage located in the best spot on the best beach. We had everything we needed - comfortable porch, great mattress, functional kitchen with all-new gear, fast wifi, and best of all -- a really beautiful beach just a few steps down the private path. Note -- Bica does have a whole-house generator and that's important on this island. You do not have to fuss; it clicks on automatically if the power flickers or goes off. Likewise, the water is filtered at the kitchen tap so you don't need to buy water or worry about what you are drinking. The owners are lovely and eager to provide any info or help to find what you might like on the island. We will return.

If you are looking for a perfect getaway for two people this is the place. Perfect location on the beach, brand new bungalow with great amenities, close to restaurants and stores. The bed was very comfy, that’s always a plus, kitchen well stocked, our host was very accommodating. Eleuthera is an hidden gem and beautiful island.

Cicely B. from New London, NH US recommends this vacation rental.

The Bica Bungalow is your access to your own little piece of heaven.
The bungalow is fresh, clean, and updated and the perfect place to stay if you want to experience the peace and tranquility of Eleuthera with all the modern conveniences.
Our week long stay there was seemless. We had everything we needed and more.
We will most certainly be back and we are grateful we found this beautiful and very special place.

My husband and I absolutely loved the cottage! It was comfortable, clean, and well appointed. We enjoyed the central location of Governor's Harbour and loved being on beautiful French Leave Beach. The manager was very responsive and helpful. The property description was accurate. We hope to return and highly recommend this property.

A guest from Columbia, MD United States recommends this vacation rental.

We thoroughly enjoyed this new offering on French leave beach. This is a brand new bungalow perfect for two people. The kitchen is well equipped and the house has everything you need. We really enjoyed the back deck and being so close to the beach. Property owner is extremely responsive and very helpful. Definitely recommend and hope to return.
