Property Details of Bahamas Cottage

Pineapple Cottage is perched on a hillside overlooking the deserted pink-sand northern beach (a one-two minute walk away). There are two decks to optimize the living space, offering a panoramic view of the ocean. Its garden is filled with tropical flower trees and tropical fruit trees. Humming birds, finches and other birds frequent the garden. The cottage is situated on a narrow part of the island. So, a short stroll will take you to the 2 1/2 mile beach, the harbor, or the bone fishing flats. Nearby restaurants and grocery stores offer free delivery.

Local Area Details

If you are looking for a great vacation you have found the best place to start. We are dedicated to people who want to have a quiet vacation on a small tropical island.

Spanish Wells is the town on small St. George's Cay. St. George's Cay is just off the northwest coast of Eleuthera. A small bridge connects Spanish Wells to its closest neighbor, Russell Island. The population of these cays is made up of mostly white native Bahamians (many of which are descendants of the first British settlers from the 1600's or Loyalists from the 1700's).

Spanish Wells is a neat and clean little town with most homes sporting a fresh coat of pastel paint. Locals leave their doors unlocked; in this small, tight-knit community, crime is nonexistent. The local language is English, spoken with a somewhat British accent. Many of the people in Spanish Wells earn their living from the sea. These fishermen have the best reputation in the entire Bahamas for their skill at catching crawfish (spiny lobsters).

Spanish Wells has beautiful pink and white sand beaches, and water so clear that you can see your shadow on the bottom. Stretching from Spanish Wells to the northeast tip of Eleuthera is a beautiful barrier reef called the Devil's Backbone which is inhabited with an abundance of marine life. This area is fantastic for snorkelers, and fishermen usually find that grouper and snapper are plentiful in this area. One mile off shore, there's great sport fishing. There's world-class bone fishing on the flats surrounding the island. Boat rentals, golf cart rentals, fishing charters, snorkeling trips, cave tours, trips to nearby islands (such as Harbour Island) are available.

Spanish Wells has two supermarkets, two bakeries (you must try Bahamian homemade bread and Johnny cake), four restaurants (which serve native and American dishes at reasonable prices), a medical clinic, a museum, four variety stores, and you can purchase fresh conchs, fish or lobsters (in season) at the docks or marinas. If you'd like to explore the length of the mainland of Eleuthera there are tour guides available for hire or self-drive cars available for rent. Winter temperatures are generally in the 70's during the day and drop to the 60's at night. Summer daytime temperatures are generally in the 80's and drop to the 70's at night.

Spanish Wells is not a "touristy" island. Arrive as guests and leave as friends. There is absolutely nothing like Spanish Wells in all the Bahamas today.
