Key Lime Cottage Delight!

Frank Charbonier recommends this vacation rental.
The overall experience in our Eleuthera vacation and our stay at Key Lime Cottage was terrific. Key Lime Cottage was a very nice play to stay in. Nicely detailed, plenty of room for my wife and I. We loved having breakfast each morning on the veranda. Also, the very short 500 ft. walk to Rainbow Beach each morning was super cool. We also liked that the location of the cottage was central to many of the places north and south that we ended up going to each day. But also, we spent two of our 10 days rig

Absolutely loved our stay at Key Lime Cottage. Felt right at home. Great location, easy walk to beautiful beach, central location for exploring other beaches and towns. Well furnished home, quick response to repair hot water issue. Caretaker Brenda and her team were lovely and did a great job.
Loved the front porch with sun or shade.
Spent a very relaxing week here. I don't hesitate to recommend it.

Very nice, we would come back anytime. Sarah was quick with all correspondence. Brenda and Lisa management staff were helpful. I wish they would bury 3.5 % credit card charge ln their nightly cost (the only way you may pay and your charged for it. I must have missed that class in good business 101. It would be kinder and more friendly if VRBO just hide it, we are travelers not cash targets for the cost +++.

The Key Lime Cottage in Rainbow Bay was the perfect little spot for our anniversary trip. The house is located across the street from one of the best beaches on Eleuthera. There’s a little trail directly across the street to the beach. You are secluded by landscaping so it feels super private. The home had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.
Amazing!

Once in a lifetime experience. Eluthera is a magical place. Rainbow bay is one of the best beaches on the entire island. Incredible snorkling for beginners, small coral reef heads and loads of life along the rocks directly off the beach, in both direction.
The cottage has all the amenities you could need for a stay, as well as loads of useful items like beach towels, a freezer bag, headlamps, etc...

Myself & my young daughter came back to the island for our 3rd trip. The house is beautiful. It is directly across from the Rainbow Bay Beach. We had 1 day where the power was out for about 5 hours but there were plenty of candles & a flashlight. Bottled water was provided. The master bed is very hard, but I made it work. Plenty of linens & beach supplies.

We visited for 5 days. Generally a great place to stay for a visit. Minor maintenance issues were the only inconveniences. While there the TV and Toaster was not working, and the cottage had no sharp knives to cook with. Hopefully these will be addressed with their ongoing maintenance. I would highly recommend a stay there, the beach across the street also makes it a great location.

Keylime cottage was perfect. My wife and I stayed for five nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was clean and spacious. Rainbow beach was one of the nicest beaches we visited and every morning and evening we had it to ourselves. The people at Elieuthera vacation rentals were extremely helpful in helping us find rental car and things to do while on Eleuthera. I highly recommend this company and cottage to anyone looking for a great vacation.

Easy to relax into vacation mode at Key Lime. Very clean and comfortable cottage. Beautiful calm and clean beach with snorkeling off the point. Less than a minute walk to the beach. AC works well in each room. Kitchen well stocks with cooking pots and pans. Located about 15 mins from GHB. Great location to explore both North and South Eleuthera. Rental Car is a must. Plenty of beach and bath towels. Bring shampoo and buy any kitchen staples and coffee.

We stayed at Key Lime for 6 weeks Jan/Feb. it was an amazing experience. We loved the location. We spent a ton of time on Rainbow beach which was just steps away. The cottage was extremely comfortable and came equipped with everything and more!! Sarah and Brenda were responsive and so easy to reach. The place was spotless. Rainbow bay in general is the perfect location to enjoy the neighbourhood and the island. You cannot go wrong with rental. Don’t hesitate to choose Key Lime cottage.

Visiting Eleuthera and staying in a community like Rainbow Bay was new for us. The neighborhood is nice, complete with amazing bay, tennis court, and easy access to the Rainbow Inn. We loved snorkeling at Rainbow Bay as well as the incredible sunsets from the beach. We used this stay to explore points north and especially enjoyed spending time at the newly renovated Cove for a day. The house has everything you need down to the last thoughtful detail such as 5-gallon drinking water jug, plastic wrap, band

We stayed in Key Lime Cottage for two weeks. It had everything we needed and worked perfect for our family of 4--two teenagers. The location is great--walk across the street and you are on one of the best beaches in Eleuthera. Also close to a great grocery store-Tony is a nice guy and has good prices. The unit was clean and the beds were comfortable. AC worked great as did wifi. The dryer quit and the owner had a new one in the next day-incredible service! The outside shower was wonderful and the yard was k

Me and my hubs thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Key Lime Cottage was in a lovely location. I can not imagine another location being better. The cottage was comfortable and supplied with all we needed. We met the caretakers at their Friday/Saturday Bar-b-que and we're the loveliest people. I highly recommend stopping for their food.
A major highlight was the locals. Everyone was warm, friendly and delightful to talk to. I loved the relaxed vibe on the island. There were no fast food or restaurant chain

Birger Hoppe recommends this vacation rental.
We spent a week here as a family with 2 kids and loved the cottage (and Eleuthera). Spaceous appartment, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, well equipped with all we could need, plus fins, deck chairs, hammock, and just steps away from beautiful Rainbow Beach, always good for a dip in the morning or evening. From here all of North and Central Eleuthera is easily reachable. One of the books at the cottage was very valuable: A catalogue of beaches on Eleuthera provided us with many ideas, and the feeling we would need to come back to see the other 120 beaches ;-)
