About this property

Bird of Paradise Beachfront Cottages can show you a new way to vacation. We bring the amenities of home to your own private beachfront oasis. Enjoy sleeping on one of two king size beds and lifting your head up to see pristine ocean staring back at you. Cook your own meals in our fully stocked kitchen including electric range, numerous utensils, and cookwares as well as full size washer and dryer. You can even choose where to bath, either inside or alfresco in the ocean side shower. If you've had to much sun and the air conditioning is more your speed feel free to lounge on the couch and watch some TV on our flat screen. Cool off in the private splash pool while staring out to find the cruise ships as they slowly pass by in the distance. Staying at The Shooting Star means you enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and world famous 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**

Perfect Getaway

The house was just perfect for what we were looking for! I think the only thing closer to the beach is getting on a boat! The property itself was well equipped, clean and looked like the images. The location was perfect for us as well. I am sure there are busier times, but our first couple of days, were saw maybe 10 people walking on the beach. It got a little busier, but our experience was the quiet we were looking for. Tippy’s restaurant was a 30 second walk away and we ate there several times and have no complaints there either. Tarictia is the property manager and stopped in when we arrived to show us a few things to know. She was very warm and welcoming. We didn’t have any issues with power because they now have their generator. We couldn’t use WiFi for a little while, but who cares when you have beautiful water to mesmerize you!

Perfect spot ~ Great rental

This was our first time to Eleuthera and we all agreed that we chose the right spot for us. The beach is the prettiest one we visited. We kept taking time to visit other beaches and then regret it a bit because this beach is wanting for nothing. Just an absolutely gorgeous blue water, white sand location. Having Tippy's right there is a plus. The rental is not too far from Island Farm for fresh food, Governors Harbor where you'll find the Buccaneer Club, The Frigate, Bacchus Fine Foods, Da Perk, Burrows grocery - just everything one needs is not far. We did not cook very much but everything is on hand if you decide to. The beds are comfortable, the decor is adorable, the water must be rain water because it is lovely, and we were able to watch sports (I didn't realize we'd have cable) so my family was happy to catch playoff football. The house if I had to put it a few words is cute, comfortable, & convenient. There were the typical few moments where we were reminded that island life is out there on the edge of civilization so we had a power interruption, we lost internet a few times and water one time (something needed to be reset) but all of this is just a fact of life. None were long term or big issues and I wouldn't say it really affected our stay. We will be back. We enjoyed our stay that much. If you're looking to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries you could do much worse than this. The owner & property manager are super accessible and helpful.

We are a family run operation of hospitality professionals.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the land where the Bird of Paradise 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 the famous Tippys. Eleuthera is a special place to us that has always served as a simple getaway.
