Brand New! Private Beachfront Cottage on World-Famous French Leave Beach

Just completed in 2023, Bica Bungalow is a stunning private cottage directly on world-famous French Leave Beach, the most sought-after location on Eleuthera.

Bica Bungalow

We have stayed at many vacation rentals on Eleuthera; Bica is by far our favourite spot! The location is perfect, right on the beach yet close to town and to restaurants. The cottage was clean and well stocked and lovely to have the generator and filtered water. It was quiet and peaceful. Loved it!!

Eleuthera March 2026

Love Bica bungalow and its location. House is very cute, well stocked with kitchen items plus spices, condiments and even some beer and wine in fridge. The hot water was not working when we arrived and a plumber came immediately to fix it on a Saturday evening, great service. The beach is right there and it's by far the best one on the island. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler and fold big chairs, everything you will need for a great day by the ocean. Highly recommend this place.

Bica Bungalow

Bica Bungalow was an absolute dream! It's the perfect getaway spot for a couple, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is fantastic—close to a variety of great restaurants (you'll want to try them all!) and just a short drive to several beautiful beaches worth exploring. The beach right outside the bungalow is a hidden gem—often completely empty—so it feels like your own private paradise. We loved starting our mornings there and then heading out to float in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters after lunch. Kristin and her team were incredible from start to finish, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I can't recommend Bica Bungalow and Eleuthera enough—it's pure magic!

Loved Bica -- perfect for 2!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Charming - adorable, totally livable cottage located in the best spot on the best beach. We had everything we needed - comfortable porch, great mattress, functional kitchen with all-new gear, fast wifi, and best of all -- a really beautiful beach just a few steps down the private path. Note -- Bica does have a whole-house generator and that's important on this island. You do not have to fuss; it clicks on automatically if the power flickers or goes off. Likewise, the water is filtered at the kitchen tap so you don't need to buy water or worry about what you are drinking. The owners are lovely and eager to provide any info or help to find what you might like on the island. We will return.
