Cozy Cottage steps from Rainbow Bay Beach; Tennis Court

This charming hillside home is located in Rainbow Bay, directly across from the beautiful & secluded Rainbow Bay beach, Eleuthera. This private and fully furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage is situated on 1/3 acre of land surrounded by lush and mature island vegetation with beautiful sea views from the large verandah. The cottage has central air-conditioning and satellite TV, landline phone, WIFI, a cozy living room, dine-in kitchen, dishwasher, charcoal grill, and an outdoor shower. The master bedroom has a queen bed. The guest bedroom has twin beds which can be converted to a king bed.

Key Lime Cottage is ideal for families, couples and honeymooners, and is situated literally across the small road (a minute's walk) from Rainbow Bay's private beach. The beach itself offers sparkling white sand and crystal clear azure waters perfect for shelling, snorkeling and fishing and is a naturally protected cove. Convenient picnic benches, secluded tiki huts on the beach are included as part of the rental. Rainbow Bay also has a private tennis court.

Rainbow Bay offers one of the best snorkeling spots on the island. From the above pictures you can see a small peninsula which juts out into the Caribbean. It is home to many of the island's tropical fish and rays. If you are a snorkeler, you will not be disappointed. From Key Lime cottage, you also have easy access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches.

It is just a mile to the acclaimed Rainbow Inn, which offers some of the best food on the island and live music many evenings. The nearest market for supplies is located just a few minutes away by car if you choose to cook at home in the fully-equipped kitchen. There is also now an organic vegetable farm five minutes to the north from the villa.

Centrally located on Eleuthera, Key Lime cottage is the is the perfect location for exploring the whole island north to south, from Harbor Island to Lighthouse Point, 100 miles of beaches, beauty and history. It is only 15 minutes from Governor's Harbor airport and 25 minutes from Governor's Harbor.

Eleuthera is a very friendly and safe island. It is a beautiful, relaxed destination with turquoise seas, and beautiful sunny weather. Once you come, you will definitely want to return.

Island oasis
This was our second trip to stay at Key Lime cottage...Nice Central location and right across the street from the best beach on the island..This unit comes with everything you will need.. It has a front deck that has a partial cover and is great for hanging out..Very few neighbors at this location , so its pretty peaceful..Down the Queens highway is stores big rock and east/final for food items and places to eat.. We at at Mels and got some food on the weekend from Brendas/Billys BBQ..Make sure you stop by Glass bridge bar&grill for one of the best views and the best conch fritters I have ever had...You might even see a stingray cruising around the bay...Caretakers Brenda and her daughter Lisa, were always helpful in answering our questions and sharing knowledge about island stuff...Yes, gasoline was 6.24 a gallon and food is expensive, but eating out was pretty reasonable..We love this island for the quiet beauty there.. No fast food places, Starbucks or condos lining every beach..You might just be the only one on the beach.. We would stay here again on our next trip...

Short visit to key lime house
It was a nice place. Across from the beach is convenient too. Just about everything you need for a comfortable visit. AC worked well. I would certainly recommend the place. I was ok with the bed but my said she was not comfortable in it at all. Only issues they need to address is they really need a set of new sharp knives and a sink stop that works. Also the TV was not working at all . We had to stream online on our devices the whole trip.

Paradise!
We were looking for a house that was close to the beach with all the boxes checked. Key Lime Cottage did not disappoint. With the beautiful Rainbow Bay beach just across the street and the central location it was the perfect pick! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The communication with the owners was excellent.

As a couple we were looking for a simple, reasonably priced rental walking distance to the breach. This property is just what we were looking for and did not disappoint. It is charming, literally a 1 minute walk out the front door to Rainbow Beach, and everything was as advertised. Brenda was accessible and helped us out with an extra beach chair - thank you Brenda! We would definitely consider staying again.

Great place, walk to beautiful Rainbow Bay Beach.
House was comfortable, beds were fine, really nice deck that had an ocean view. The caretakers were really nice. The only thing we wished they provided were beach chairs. Unfortunately there were none...

Key lime cottage
Der Aufenthalt im Key lime cottage war sehr schön. Das Haus ist mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Die Schlafzimmer sind geräumig und gemütlich. Die Terrasse und der Garten waren traumhaft. Der Rainbow Beach ist direkt vor dem Haus und einer der schönsten Strände. Bei unserem Aufenthalt ging das Internet immer wieder nicht, aber Brenda hat sich direkt gekümmert und bei so einer schönen Insel brauchte man auch nicht unbedingt oft Internet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder ins key lime cottage.
