Overview & Photos
Cotton & Coconuts is a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home located on Lookout Road in Rainbow Bay. The view looks out over the Atlantic Ocean. The house is a 2-minute walk to Come N Go Beach. Steps leading up to a screened lanai invite you to the front entrance.
Entering the home, the focal point is the spiral staircase to the cupola, which has spectacular views of the North Atlantic. This luxurious home has tile throughout and mini-split a/c units in the main area and in every bedroom.
Bedrooms include the master with a king size Tempur-Pedic mattress, with a full en suite bath. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are furnished with queen pillow top mattresses and share a full bath. Decorated with Island flair, this beautiful home is furnished with all the conveniences. The living area has queen size sofa bed with a 4" memory foam topper, flat-screen TV with Roku, and wireless internet.
The modern chef's kitchen has a granite island with 4 swivel bar chairs. Stainless steel appliances in the kitchen include a French door refrigerator with water/ice maker on front, a ceramic stove top/oven with hood microwave, and dishwasher. The dining area features a 60' glass table with 4 comfortable chairs. Another high top dining table with 4 chairs is located on the screened lanai.

Located on the first floor is the laundry room, where the 1/2 bath is located, as well as stacked Maytag washer and dryer with utility sink.
Our water is collected and purified through an advanced closed cistern filtration/uv light system. Each faucet throughout the house is connected to this system. If water levels are ever low (never have been) in the cistern, we are connected to the Queens Hwy water, which also will flow through our specialized filtered system. This is a paramount solution to having fresh safe water on an island.

Stanley Z. from Brooklyn, NY US recommends this vacation rental.
quite pleasant and mostly effortless. Only issue(s) was the contant power outages, one lasting 10 1/2 hours and no coffee expresso machine ( a minor, minor issue). House was more than adequately supplied and well furnished, quiet. Area lacks any decent restaurants and the local grocery store is a 4 minute drive away.
Manager Responded on 2/3/2023
We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Normally power outages are not a significant problem on the island, but unfortunately there was a fire in the Hatchet Bay electrical plant that week, and so there were widespread power outages. But that is not the norm! There are a dozen excellent restaurants in central Eleuthera, but the island is rural and spread out, and you do have to drive to get to them all.

Stephen L. from Orrville, Ohio United States recommends this vacation rental.
We can't say enough about the wonderful week we spent at C&C. The house was everything the pictures show and more. It is very well equipped and everything worked as it should. The owners, Rosie and Sam are terrific people. We wanted a Christmas house and they delivered. Rosie met us with a bottle of wine and cheese and it just kept going from there.
The house was beautifully decorated for the seaon and is located so that you not too far from everything north central Eleuthera has to offer. This was our second visit and we wanted to see Spanish Wells and Harbour Island on this trip. Rainbow Beach is probably the nicest beach close to C&C,but there are so many others to explore. You need a car - preferably a 4WD if you want to get to some of the harder to reach beaches. There were masks and fins at the house which makes it nice if you don't have your own.
There are stores and restaurants close by.The Rainbow Inn and Mel's Snack Shack both had good eats. The Big Rock General Store had a good selection and is close to C&C. The North Eleuthera Shopping Center is close to NE Airport and has the best selection. The closest thing you will get to Walmart on Eleuthera.
We brought a lot of our food and cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner on the grill and in one of the best kitchens of any vacation home we have ever rented. The water from the tap was better than ours at home. The beds were general, nothing to complain about. The owners are easy to reach and go to great lengths to ensure Cotton & Coconuts has what you need while you relax or find adventure in Eleuthera.

This house was gorgeous I mean it was so clean and beautifully decorated they didn’t show the master bedroom shower in the pics but it is huge like it has the rainfall thing we absolutely loved that. The hostess was such a great help she even brought the kids goodies. So far this was my favorite vacation house �� We would definitely be visiting again.

DAVID B. from HIDEAWAY, TX United States recommends this vacation rental.
The property was in excellent condition, well-appointed, and clean. We especially appreciated the very comfortable mattresses on the beds (we have rented on Eleuthera several times before & finding a property with a good mattress can be rare).
The property manager, Laura, was extremely responsive and helpful with a couple of minor issues we had. The owner's instruction binder was also quite helpful.
Rainbow Bay is a very nice, peaceful, safe community. I particularly enjoyed using the screened porch overlooking the sea to read a book on a couple of rainy afternoons. Proximity to the beaches on both sides was great. Our high-school aged son enjoyed being able to explore the Atlantic side cliffs/ beaches on his own (there is almost no traffic on the residential roads in Rainbow Bay).
We would highly recommend this property to friends and family.

Holly J. from Knoxville, TN US recommends this vacation rental.
We had a great stay at this property. The house is clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the screened in porch and watching the ocean in the distance. You can walk to the nearest Atlantic beach or it is a quick drive to the nearest Caribbean beach for a swim and calmer waters. Beach chairs are provided along with ample towels. The owners, property caretaker, and the rental agency were all quick to respond and helpful. I highly recommend!

Paula C. from Bradenton, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
We wanted a rental property that had good access to beaches both north and south of us. Cotton and Coconuts fit the bill perfectly. The house was well appointed, had a sea view, very clean with all amenities you would want. Both the owners and rental company were easy to contact and deal with for any questions. We were in Eleuthera to beachcomb and though our flight from the US was cancelled and we lost a day, we were always able to contact the owner and caretaker to let them know and they responded immediately. Would highly recommend this property for a great stay.

A guest from Scarsdale, New York United States recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed at Cotton and Coconuts for a week and loved every minute of it. The house is very close to several wonderful beaches, including Rainbow Bay and Surfers Beach. We cooked most of our meals at home and appreciated the large and well appointed kitchen. The rooms were all well appointed, the mattress in the master bedroom was more comfortable than the mattress on my bed at home and we made good use out of the various pieces of beach equipment that the owners provided (floaties, snorkel gear, etc).

The place was gorgeous and spotless! We felt very welcomed and the hosts thought of everything! Any amenity you could possibly need is there. We would definitely come and stay again and I recommend to anyone considering it, trust me, just go! You won't regret it!
