Great location
Location is right on a private beach. Snorkeling was great right in front. Walk about 150 yards south, and there is a great swimming beach. Small, intimate spot. Grill is a charcoal campground/beach style- worked fine.

Absolutely absolutely wonderful
Beautiful 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.

A little slice of heaven
Our 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!

A slice of Heaven
The 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!

Nice cottage and pleasant stay.
My 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.
The 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!!!

This 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

Very Special Place!
Romantic cottage in perfect location! All the necessities… however larger coffee pot would be nice as we are the type that sip our morning brew taking in the beautiful surroundings. The only thing I wished for was a better mattress, it was soft without much support and pillows need immediate updates. Hoping when we return … otherwise 5stars. Thank you Ken and Adele for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Wonderful Winter Getaway!
We stayed at Pink Sand Cottage for a week in mid-January. Ken had sent us all of the info (plus some) prior to our arrival and was quick to respond with any questions we had - along with some great recommendations which we followed & loved. January is still winter in the Bahamas so we had some windy weather & rough seas but it was literally the exact opposite on the Caribbean side. The central location on the island made it easier to get around to all of the things we wanted to see. Ken was able to set us up with a rental car contact & we had no issues with that process either. Overall, Pink Sand Cottage is a lovely little island spot that has what you need to set down a home base as you explore everything that Eleuthera has to offer (which is a lot)! Close to good food, great beaches, and private enough to make you feel like you are all alone on a little oasis!

This is our second stay at this property and our 6th stay on Banks Road. The location is convenient to fabulous beaches, restaurants, the Island Farm and the Queens Highway. The house is located on a beautiful beach with several areas to sit, relax and enjoy the view. The stars gazing from the deck is amazing. Ken was very helpful and we will definately be back.

Darling beachfront cottage-awesome location!
We love this part of Eleuthera and this rustic cottage was the perfect locale for enjoying the spectacular beaches and sites of central Eleuthera. Just far enough from Governers Harbour to be completely private and yet close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shopping of in-town and the surfing beaches to the north. Great trip!

House is freshly painted and furniture and everything very clean and lovely. Air conditioning worked. We opened windows and had fresh air part of the time. Plenty of towels at the house. We snorkeled off the front of the cottage every day. We did a 2 hour trip with eleuthera adventures that was excellent. We rented car from Suzanne the housekeeper and that worked fine. Password for the internet has changed. Be sure to ask for that. We had to reset the internet several times but it worked fine when we did. Reservations at Tippys Saturday and Wednesday when they have music. Ask for table for 2 with view of ocean. Packing: 2 pair fins at the house are adjustable and worked great. bring socks to avoid blisters. bring shampoo, mosquito repellent, aftersun moisturizer. Mosquitoes were only problem early morning on front porch.

Peaceful Paradise
The views from the cottage were beautiful and listening to the sound of the waves put us right to sleep every night! There was an issue with the internet, but Sue, the property manager, was able to get it up and running the next day. We snorkeled in a few spots around the island and thought that right outside the cottage was just as good as–if not better than– anywhere else we explored. The beach was pretty secluded, but there were people around at different times of the day–sometimes we would be the only people anywhere around and other times there were beach walkers and/or an occasional family in the distance. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the outdoor shower and hammock in the yard!! We highly recommend Pink Sands Cottage if you are looking for low-key relaxation away from the more populated areas.

Although it is right on the beach and very private, it is very worn and needs refurbishing.
The only choice available when asked if we enjoyed our stay was yes or no. In reality, it was mixed. The location on the Atlantic was good and the beach had a great swimming area and there were very few people which was good. However, the cottage is worn and the photos are dated and misleading. The bed, bedding, towels, light bulbs, chaise lounge pads, beach chairs, etc etc all need replacing. Also, the litter on the sides of the road on Eleuthera is disturbing.

My wife and I loved our stay at the Pink Sands Cottage. The property is well managed and we loved every second of our stay on Eleuthera. It was exactly as we were expecting.
