Poponi Cottage on pink sand Beachfront Estate

Poponi Cottage was just named one of the 7 best stays in the Caribbean by Wanderlust travel magazine! (April 23, 2019)

Poponi Cottage is a private studio apartment 100 paces from a mile-long, deserted pink-sand beach. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, Poponi is located on the second floor with a garage beneath. Water views are available from the balcony. Poponi Cottage shares a 4 acre beachfront estate with Poponi House. The house and cottage have good privacy from each other. There is great snorkeling off our beach! Two beachfront restaurant/bars are walking distance down the beach: Unique Village, 10 minutes, and La Bougainvillea 15 minutes.

Poponi’s kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, blender, and toaster. The sleeping area is a queen size bed and a full bath with walk-in shower. The comfortable living area has a TV, DVD, cable & WiFi. The double glass doors open to a balcony with chairs, grill and outdoor dining table. There is an outdoor shower downstairs. The cottage is fully air conditioned.

Poponi Cottage is centrally located near the settlement of North Palmetto Point which has several grocery shops, pharmacy and restaurants. The historic town of Governor's Harbour, the main town on the island, is a ten minute drive from the property. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, banks with ATM’s, gift shops, liquor stores, dive shop, bakery, and half a dozen excellent restaurants. One or another of the restaurants/bars will have live music almost every night of the week. You can also buy the fresh catch of the day to grill at home from the town dock.

We love children but unfortunately this house is not suitable for kids, so we do require all guests to be age 18 or older.

Island Time
We truly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was exactly what we expected and provided the comforts of home. It was centrally located on the island. The short walk to the Atlantic was rewarding and the short drive to the Caribbean side of the Island produced equally magnificent views. We would highly recommend this for a couples time together.

We enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay at Poponi Cottage. It was a short, pretty walk to the beach, and we mostly had the beach to ourselves. It was nice to have morning coffee at the sitting area in front of the beach, and watch the surf. We appreciated the outdoor shower for rinsing after swimming. The hosts, Rick and Missy, were very nice. The linens were not allergy free, as they were cleaned with detergent and/or fabric softeners with fragrance and likely other ingredients that irritate sensitive individuals, and that gave us some issue. VRBO needs to have standardized laundry policies, similar to hotels, for the products they use. (We don’t have issues with hotel linens.)

Steps from world-class beach
Enjoyed our stay at Poponi Cottage. The pictures and info on VRBO are very accurate. The beach is incredible and rarely do you see anyone else. Amazing. This studio apt is ideal for a couple. The outdoor deck is wonderful; we had morning coffee there each day. The owners live next door. Don't worry, they do not interfere at all, but were there to help and provide suggestions for the island. Highly recommend this place!!

Off the beaten track
Great get away from it all location. Set back about 100m from superb beach. Further rental house in front. Very helpful and attentive hosts. The cottage consists of one room and bathroom above garage. Although very basic there is a thoughtful comprehensive inventory. Drying line outside but partly shaded and if humid drying beach towels etc. difficult. Would suggest change of these every 3 days or so. Overall we enjoyed our stay and good central base to explore the rest of the island.

Paradise found
We searched online for an island paradise and found it on Eleuthera. Poponi Cottage is exactly as described in the posting! The accommodation is perfect for a couple. The gentle breeze in the evening means you don't need to use air conditioning. The beach is in front of the main house and a 2-minute stroll from the cottage through lush vegetation. The landscaping is well-manicured and invites leisurely evenings on the deck. The private beach is beautiful and sandy, perfect for swimming or lounging. We stayed for 10 days on this trip and hope to make it longer next year. Our host Rick was very responsive to the few requests we had because everything was set up to allow us to have a turnkey experience with just the right amount of privacy.

Beautiful cottage
Poponi cottage is a short walk down the lawn to the beach, which is perfect for walking and wading. During our stay, the ocean was rough on this side, so swimming and snorkeling were better on the Caribbean side if the island. Overall, a lovely property ina great location.

We had an amazing time at the cottage. I can’t speak highly enough about how incredible the location is, the uniqueness of the cottage, and the opportunities for both relaxation and exploration. Missy and Rick have done an outstanding job of the cottage and we loved being there.
