Convenient picnic benches, secluded tiki huts on the beach are included as part of the rental. Rainbow Bay also has a private tennis court.

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.

Rainbow Beach Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.

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.

The Key Lime Cottage/House at Rainbow Beach, Eleuthera Bahamas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am so glad I chose the Key Lime Cottage/House to stay at for my dream vacation to Eleuthera Bahama. The house and location are absolutely perfect in every way. The house is so clean and roomy with two bedrooms, two bathroom's, a great room that includes a large living room, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, with a high top dining table and chairs with french doors that open up to a large front porch balcony with a view of the ocean just beyond the lush greenery.The house is completely surrounded with thick, tropical landscaping giving it complete privacy and it is so quiet and peaceful. The house has central air conditioning and is completely furnished and includes plenty of towels, sheets, hairdryers, beach supplies and the kitchen is fully equipped and has a large refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, blender and a stackable washer and dryer. The house was also supplied with two 5 gallon jugs of drinking water and some charcoal for the outdoor barbecue grill. The house also has a hose at the side of the house for cleaning up after the beach.The caretaker, Brenda had the house so clean and fresh smelling and had placed freshly cut hot pink Bougainvillea flowers in every room of the house. Shortly after I arrived, Brenda came over to check in on me and make sure I had everything I needed. She was so sweet and pleasant and said that she would be available for any of my needs.I absolutely love the location of the house. It is just a one minute walk to the beautiful and peaceful Rainbow Beach which is located on the calm Caribbean side of the island and it turned out to be one of my favorite beaches on the island. The beautiful aqua blue water is so calm and it is as clean and clear as swimming pool water and it is one of the best snorkeling spots on the island with colorful reefs and plenty of fish and sea creatures to see.The north central location of the house is excellent for exploring the island and it has stores and restau

Lovely cottage in Rainbow Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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-aids, beach inflatables and guide books. We used many and appreciated all of these nice touches.
