About this property

Ocean view cottage on a quiet beach just minutes from swimming pigs

*Our property and island was NOT affected by Hurricane Dorian*

Escape to this tropical paradise nestled at the edge of the ocean. Experience full relaxation and privacy in the comfort of an island-style, yet modern cottage. The view from each window is breath taking and so is the pristine beach just outside the front door. Lounge on the wrap around deck to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, watch a Bahamian sunset or simply stargaze at nights while grilling your favorite catch. A full kitchen with appliances and utensils along with a washer and dryer adds to the convenience of your stay. After a day of adventure with the nearby world renown swimming pigs or tamed sharks, iguanas or simply snorkeling the famous James Bond, Thunderball Grotto or fishing, and sightseeing, turn in at nights to a comfortable queen size master bedroom with a private bathroom and a twin guest room with its private bathroom - all designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.

Blue Harbor Cottage
We had a fantastic stay at a lovely cottage. The location is stunning and the hosts, Sophia & Don, are fabulous. You won’t go wrong if you stay here, the island is extremely easy to get around with lots of activities or just chilling on the deck enjoying the view.

Beautiful location perfect home
You cannot find a more beautiful view from a deck. The location is amazing with a swimming beach that is almost empty of people most of the time. You can see turtles and stingrays when snorkeling from the beach. The house has everything you need and is very well taken care of. The owners are helpful and we are incredibly grateful that we were able to stay in their home.

Stunningly Beautiful
My wife and our 2 teenage boys had an amazing stay on Staniel Cay at the Harbor Blue Cottage. The house was spacious, clean, and with brand new modern appliances and air conditioning. The view from the deck of small bay off Pirates Beach was stunningly beautiful. There's a small path down to the beach itself which is semi-private and delightful. Many of the previous guests in the sign in book had been there before, and we can see why. It will be hard to go anywhere else in the Carribean after this!

Amazing cottage & Lovely hosts!
This is an amazing cottage with unbelievable views and access (via private path) to a beautiful beach. The hosts are gracious, thoughtful, and accommodating. You couldn't ask for a better setting on Staniel Cay. You will need to rent a golf cart to enjoy this location and to get around--which was so much fun and a part of the charm of Staniel Cay! Our family greatly enjoyed our stay!

Paradise
There is not enough words to say how much our family (2 adults and 2 teens) enjoyed our stay. Sophia was full of information and helped make sure our time at Staniel Cay was perfect. Don made everything seemless once we arrived. We are grateful for both of them and their wealth of information. The rental was comfortable and provided everything we needed for a homebase during our week of adventures in the Exumas. We hope to be back sooner than later, especially if it involves a big hug from Don. Thank you guys 💙💛 - The Moore Fam

Sunsets, Beach, Privacy, Water-front Porch, and Ample Space
Very nice two bedroom, two bath, full kitchen home, with full wrap-around porch, the back side right on the waterfront, steps away from Pirate's Beach, usually with no one there but you and yours. Could not be more happy with the host, caretaker, property, appliances (even a washer/dryer), and support. Property owner can reserve a golf cart for your stay if you wish. Will certainly ask to stay there again.

Magical place
From the time we landed until we departed, we had an amazing time. Amazing cottage with spectacular views. We had everything we needed and when we had an issue with the golf cart, Don was very quick to help us and we were on our way again. Just love this small island with an amazing community.
