Staying at Purple Papaya means you enjoy panoramic views of the turquoise blue Atlantic Ocean and tinted pink sand beach by day and outrageous sunsets and star gazing by night.

**Keep in mind that our neighbors Tippy's close for a period of time in September and October. Please call them for details. Tippy's is also next door to our Purple Papaya cottage, therefore you may hear some island vibes and tunes while outside, (this is of course out of our control).**

**Please also keep in mind that Eleuthera is a secluded island, therefore at times the island may shut off the water, as well as internet or electricity. Water pressure can be low as well, but this is all due to being on a secluded island, so please be patient with us. Any of this issues will not result in the guest getting compensated since this is out of our control**

Heaven on earth!

Purple Papaya is ideal for anyone looking for a place for true rest and relaxation. Great host and the location can’t be beat. It sits on a the most gorgeous beach, easy drive to Governors Harbor, and adjacent to Tippy’s restaurant. The house is as advertised: clean, neat, and modern – with a priceless view. I highly recommend the house and host!

Relaxing Paradise

The property was exactly as described and extremely comfortable. My wife and I stayed for 8 nights and had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We explored the entire island, but the beach and snorkeling right off of the property were some of the best that we found. We would love to stay here again someday!!

OUTSTANDING!

This property is awesome! My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights and it was exactly what we needed. The pictures do not do it justice! We hardly even left the house because we had everything we needed and the best beach right outside our doors! We did go to Tippy's for lunch every day...The food was great and the service was excellent . The house was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Any questions we had, were answered right away and the check in process was great. Tarictia was amazing and did everything to make our stay as care free as possible. I can't say enough good things about her or our stay here! We highly recommend this place and are already planning our next trip back . Thanks for sharing this wonderful property with us!

The Ultimate R&R Vacation!

What an amazing getaway! There are not enough words to describe the tranquility and peace this vacation brought to me and my husband. We barely left the house because it had everything we needed. The infinity pool was incredible and as we looked over the edge the ocean was just a few feet away. We walked the beach everyday and many times we were the only people on the beach. I know it sounds crazy but it is true, I can count on one hand how many people we saw the whole week. When we did leave the cottage, it was to eat out. Here are our recommendations... Da Perk - Marina makes the best french toast in the world! 1648 - Ask for Kelly, she is super sweet and attentive. Also, the beet salad is amazing!!! La Bougainvillea - Ask for Cristano, he was awesome and the food is incredible! Frigate's - they have the best cheeseburger and the view is beautiful. I am actually planning two trips back in 2023! A big thank you to Alissa and Carol for your gracious hospitality. Another big thank you to Tarictia and Neddy, we appreciate you both looking out for our every need. I miss you Purple Papaya...Anne & Russ

About the host

Hosted by Bird of Paradise Beachfront Cottages

We are a family run operation of hospitality professionals.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the land where Bird of Paradise Beachfront Cottages now stand in 2004 on a complete whim with aspirations to eventually build. It wasn't until 2016 when we finally broke ground on three cottages that now sit facing the Atlantic Ocean just south of Tippys. Eleuthera is a special place to us that has always served as a location to simply getaway from it all.
