Overview & Photos
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.

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
Perfect spot!

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.
Cozy bungalow on the beach.
