Absolutely absolutely wonderful
Publié le 30 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayBeautiful pink beach steps away from the cottage. Great snorkeling with colorful, tropical fish and beautiful rocks. We saw a stingray, turtles, and possibly a couple of sharks. There were two cute mama birds nesting on the beach. We got to see the eggs and then the last day the babies after they had hatched. We enjoyed using the kayak and snorkeling gear. The cooler was very convenient and much appreciated. The communication with the property manager was very easy and positive.
We really enjoyed going to the Methodist Church down the road. We also love seeing the Glass Window Bridge. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful- Which you can watch from the front porch. We rarely saw people while on the property, but when we did encounter people on the beach or in the stores, everyone was very friendly. We enjoyed the island farm but hate we missed the cinnamon rolls on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Some things to consider:
Be prepared for mosquitoes/bugs/flys.
Don’t waste your time on Harbor Island. It was a huge disappointment.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay, but apologize for the issues. The homeowner is coming to the island at the end of this month and will address all required repairs, maintenance, and improvements.

A slice of Heaven
Publié le 7 avr. 2024 sur HomeAwayThe cottage was just the right size for the two of us the photos were very accurate. The location was perfect for privacy and the property could not have been any closer to the beautiful beach. We enjoyed sunning on the outer deck overlooking the turquoise water and the cooling calm breeze gently rustling the palm trees above. The wooden staircase from the deck leads the soft sandy beach. This was our third trip to the island so we were familiar with places to eat, grocery and gas station in Governor's Harbour about 20 min from cottage. Our new drop in favorite places with nice outside decks and beautiful views are Tippy’s on Banks Rd and Sunset Inn appropriately named, off Queens Hwy. French Leave restaurant, is pricey but high end romantic meal with views from their deck. Get out and explore the island, the people are friendly and always feel safe here. I recommend renting a jeep or 4 wheel drive vehicle the off roads get bumpy! Thank you Pink Sand Cottage until we meet again!

A little slice of heaven
Publié le 2 avr. 2024 sur HomeAwayOur time at the Pink Sand Cottage was exactly the reset and restorative experience we needed. There were miles of empty beach in either direction for our walks every day, hours of sitting and reading while listening to the ocean, and wonderful restaurants only a short drive away. The bed was very comfy, the outdoor shower a delight, and there was some used but usable snorkeling gear available. Two things to keep in mind if you stay here: 1) the water system is on a cistern so the water is undrinkable. Be sure to stop at either the Eleuthera Supply store or Burrows grocery in Governors Harbor to stock up on drinking water. We went through about a gallon and a half a day for two adults for coffee and drinking water. 2) The no-seeums are out whenever the breeze stops day and night. Our herbal bug repellent was completely ineffective so you'll have to use a heavy-duty spray. It's available at the local stores for a hefty charge ($14 os so), but if you have to buy it there do it! 3) The power goes out on the island quite frequently and there is no generator so consider bringing a car phone charger with you to keep your devices charged. It usually comes back on in a few hours but this happened 3 times in the 6 days we were there. Part of the price of going so remote!
The property manager was very available and responsive so we always felt we had the support we needed. We'll definitely go back!

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay, but sorry the noseeums bothered you. They are definitely not always a problem. They come and go. Here is our advice about noseeums, which you can also find in our FAQs:
If they are present at all, they will come out at dusk and in the evening, so they won’t be a problem during the day. The most foolproof preventative is a pair of long pants and socks, because they go after legs and ankles. The evenings are usually comfortable, so you can wear long pants outside if necessary. Another popular solution is to cover your legs and ankles with baby oil. The little bugs can’t bite through a layer of oil. The bite of a noseeum is not very bothersome, but don't make the mistake of ignoring them. If they are out, as soon as you feel the first little bite, put on your long pants and socks, or your baby oil, or go inside. Otherwise, if you are allergic to their bites, you will wake up the next day with many itchy bumps on your legs.

Nice cottage and pleasant stay.
Publié le 26 avr. 2023 sur HomeAwayMy wife and I enjoyed our 7-night stay at Pink Sand Cottage. We did not use or even turn on the TV, but all appliances were in good working order. The cottage showed some wear but that didn't take away from our enjoyment at all. We did not use the available kayak nor the snorkeling equipment. The snorkeling equipment was high quality but I brought my own. When we were there the surf was a little strong for my skill level and I did not snorkel for long.
On the somewhat downside, there are stairs to the front and rear. Both were a little problematic to our 70+ year old legs. The beach, or ocean side steps do not have a railing. The steps leading to the kitchen entrance have a railing but are rather steep and the first step up is very high. I placed a concrete block at the bottom which made it easier. Although there was a base for a smoke detector, no detector was installed. The welcome letter, from Eleuthera Vacation Rentals stated there was a "pay as you go" cell phone on site, this was not provided and the property manager was not aware a phone was offered.
All things considered we would definitely return; the location is very quiet and the sound of the waves were wonderful.
FYI - we brought frozen meat and other staples to reduce the cost of restaurants and groceries, everything is expensive. We ate out for most lunches though.
Have fun!

Beautiful spot.
Publié le 16 avr. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe house was just right for us. I did not consider that being on the Atlantic side meant a nice breeze most of the time which helped keep the no-see-ums at bay. Also loved the snorkeling right off the beach. A trip to 10 Bay Beach convinced us that we were on the better side of the island. Absolutely beautiful!!!

Finest Slice of Eleuthera
Publié le 3 avr. 2023 sur HomeAwayThis cottage was exactly as we left it last year. There is nothing you need to bring. This property has it all! The best beach is just outside the front door- it simply does not get any better. Centrally located allows easy access both North and South. We will be returning thank you for preserving our dream until we return again God Bless Punk Sand Cottage we have fallen in love again

We love Eluethera and North Palmetto is a great location.
Publié le 29 déc. 2022 sur HomeAwayOne of the best views and beaches in the world. The Family Islands of the Bahamas are unspoiled beauty. It is excellent for travelers who prefer being off the beaten path.
