About this property

Romantic Cottage directly on private Double Bay Beach, Bahamas, "Senza Nome"

Double Bay beach cottage is right on the dune, just steps away from the water. Built in the 1940s, it was the very first structure on Double Bay. The porch provides lovely views up and down the beach. A great place to read, have lunch or relax with a rum punch.
The cottage consists of a living room with kitchenette; a bedroom with a queen size bed, bureau and a nook with shelves, hanging rod and hooks; and a small bathroom with shower. There's also an outdoor shower at the back door, thatched Bahamian style.

Short Getaway in Paradise

Senza Nome was the perfect little shack for a romantic getaway. There is literally a pink sand beach at your doorstep ! Everything you would need is provided for, however be prepared to bring drinking water as I wouldn’t recommend drinking water from the tap

Beach tranquility

Loved our stay at Senza Nome! Steps away from the ocean and the view from the porch was fabulous! Enjoyed chilling on the porch listening to the ocean. The beach cottage was adorable. The property manager was wonderful…..she had the internet up and running a few minutes after we arrived. Definitely planning to return.

Ideal Beach Cottage

This is what we have been searching for our whole lives. Rustic, clean, comfortable, well appointed cottage directly on secluded beach. Miles of sand framing azure waters. Grounds are a botanical garden of hundreds of palms. Private setting on a good road convenient to local shops & Gov Harbor. We will be a back for a much longer stay.

Perfect getaway

The location of this little cottage could not have been more perfect. We checked out several other beaches on the island and honestly felt like this was the best! The house is nothing fancy but had everything we needed and was perfect for us. It is a clean, quaint little cottage with a beautiful view of the beach right out the back door. Will definitely be back.

Perfect!

We had another amazing stay at this amazing cozy cottage! Words can't describe how much we love this place! The cottage is lovely ~ has everything you need, super clean, comfortable, and private. It's conveniently located to explore the island & nearby to excellent grocery options. The Senza Nome property is beautiful & well maintained & Double Bay beach is perfection. This visit, we had the opportunity to meet the owners - they were so kind & welcoming. We have fallen in love with Eleuthera & while we have stayed at other properties/ areas on the island ~ once we found this perfect cottage ~ there's no other place we would rather stay. We're already planning our next trip & can't wait to return. Thank you!

Ocean Waves

My husband and I loved our stay at Senza Nome, right on a beautiful blue ocean. Everything you need if you decide to cook meals at cottage. Ten bay beach 10 mins away is calm and shallow water and you can walk out along way. Many places to eat close by, great food. We can't wait to visit again!

You can't get closer to the beach than this cottage. From the porch facing the waves, there is total privacy. The mid-Eleuthera location makes everything easy to get to. Ten Bays beach is 5 minutes away.

Wedding guests

We had the best time staying at Senza Nome while attending a wedding at a venue just down the beach. Our favorite part of every day was opening the back door and spending our time right on the amazing beach. The accommodations were simple but perfect for what we needed as we spent all of our time out on adventures or on the beach.

La "Cabane du Pêcheur" au bord de l'Océan

Magnifique emplacement pour profiter de l'Océan en descendant de la terrasse directement sur la plage et de la Mer (en voiture à environs deux km). Très bien située aussi pour visiter cette magnifique ile d'une beauté époustouflante en partant aussi bien vers le nord que vers le sud. Par son simplicité, "Senza Nome" est un témoin d'authenticité, unique à Eleuthera, et pour pouvoir y rêver il va falloir le mériter ... Félicitations aux propriétaire pour leurs sensibilité en conservant l'âme de ce lieux. Merci Lisa pour votre professionnalisme. S&R

Perfect!!!

Long story short- I booked this property for next year while sitting on the front porch-that's how incredible it was. It is very quaint and relaxing. Long beach (great for walking) sunrise each morning on the beach with my coffee was the best. Hardly any people around, which I found restful. I am not sure how it could be more perfect.

Incredible - like a dream come true

A rustic, comfortable cabin with nothing in front of you except for the beautiful Atlantic ocean. The cabin had everything we could possible ask for - comfortable bed, outdoor shower and amazing hosts. We missed everything and everyone the minute we drove away. We will definitely be back again.

Room with a View

This was our sixth trip to the island and this cottage hands down has the best view of anywhere we have stayed! We love the Double Bay Area and this time there was such a good breeze that we were able to enjoy sitting outside on the porch in the evenings. We spent two weeks at the cottage and can’t wait to return! The cottage is small but perfect for a couple and it had everything we needed to cook meals. The caretaker Clarice was very helpful and the Gardner was so nice and appreciative of some ice and cold sodas when he came to work. If you are thinking about booking this property go ahead and do it! Also if you are hesitant to book based upon the fact that there are two other rentals on the property I say don’t let that hold you back. Both the main house and apartment were rented for most of our stay but we rarely saw those folks. If you book the cottage please pick up some kitty kibbles for the sweet island cats who like to hang out and be loved on!

Can't wait to return!

Senza Nome is a quaint, one bedroom cottage located on Double Bay Beach in Eleuthera. The front porch is an ideal place to watch sunrises over the ocean and you can walk a few steps to the beach to view sunsets over the land. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of the pink sand beach as we rarely saw more than one or two people a day walk by. High tide had great waves, and once the tide turned, you could float on a noodle in the crystal teal water for hours! We had a breeze almost every day, so the bugs were not bad at all! The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a two week stay. We took advantage of the outdoor shower and the AC worked wonderfully! Clarice is a fantastic caretaker and cooked a wonderful meal for us. Lisa is a great host who worked with us when our flights had to change due to weather. We’re already saving money for another visit!

Secluded paradise

This was hands down the best rental we've ever stayed in (across all countries and booking platforms). You cannot get closer to the ocean. The quaint cottage sits right on top of the sand dune, just steps from the water. It's stocked with everything you need for a secluded, self-catered stay in paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Edwards

Our family has been coming to Eleuthera for the past 25 years. My name is Lisa, and in 2014, my parents decided to purchase this house in order to keep visiting the Bahamas regularly and to bring our families together. I currently live in the city of Kitchener, Ontario Canada with my husband and 2 young children. I have loved this island my entire life and visited regularly as my uncle also owns a property on Double Bay. I was ecstatic when we decided to purchase this property and took on the role of managing the VRBO rentals. My family and I visit twice yearly and we love the beach, the quiet and the island charm. My parents also will visit the island for 3-4 months of the year, when they are not travelling all over the world for their work. I also have a brother who is married and together they have 2 young children. Our family welcomes you to the Bahamas! We hope that you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We selected this home as we loved the property itself with its wide beach frontage, open spaces, crooked palm trees and array of plants. The property also had 3 separate living spaces making it ideal for visitors and guests. We loved the main house as it sprawls along the ocean, giving incredible views in each room. With the additional cottage and studio, it has been an incredible space to host larger groups without compromising your privacy.

What makes this property unique

The property is situated on Double Bay beach, which in my opinion is the nicest beach on Eleuthera. Since the property is located mid-island, it is an ideal spot to explore both the north and southern parts of the island. Additionally, the road to the property is in relatively good condition and easy to access (as some properties can be challenging to get in and out of).
