About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Unique, authentic, exquisite waterfront cottage with a dock.

A unique piece of paradise in North Bimini, “Ernie’s” villa has three big comfortable bedrooms, a large open bright living space, and a full open kitchen for big dinner parties, nestled in a lush half-acre enclave. Enjoy our deck right on the water with a full-size grill. The property has 100 feet of waterfront and a large dock. Includes tie-up for a boat up to about 40 feet; low tide about 40". No canals, no condos. Ernie’s offers an authentic Bimini-island experience outside the resort and the condos, without sacrificing creature comforts and style. A private, gated property steps away from a friendly local community with great restaurants, bars, and stores. If you want a larger gathering with family or friends, we have two other cottages close by on our property (#2875346 and # 2881517). A quick cart ride south to Radio Beach and the attractions of Alice Town. And a quicker cart ride north to the restaurants, casino, and other offerings of Resort World and the Hilton. Enjoy our yoga mats - a great way to start the day watching the sunrise. Starlink high-speed WIFI for Netflix (or checking in at work, if you must). Swim/snorkel right out front. Spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and rising moons are at your doorstep!

Cannot possibly rate highly enough
As nice as the house looks online, it is much better once you're there. The house is very nice, the view, the water, the location send it over the top. Also the host rep Shequira took very good care of us, and was a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to staying there again in the future. No doubt 5/5 across the board.

Beautiful property in paradise with all you need and amazing hosts!
There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect this home, the owners, and the property manager are! At the time of booking you are greeted with a message from the property owner providing you with detailed information about the property, location, local activities and restaurants, and contact information for the property manager and others that may be able to assist you during your stay. Upon arrival, you pull into a perfectly manicured, secluded lot that is surrounded by a privacy fence and hosts three cottages and a laundry building. We stayed at Ernie’s Cottage. When you walk into the cottage, your breath is immediately stolen by the open view at the back of the house overlooking the ocean. The water is just steps from the back of the house and is crystal clear. During our stay we say many fish, a starfish, and even stingrays just off the dock! The home has been tastefully remodeled with updated light fixtures, bathrooms, flooring, furniture, and appliances. It has all of the convenience of home, including a Keurig (full pot and pods - it does both), large gas grill, small wood grill, BLENDER, oven, microwave, remote controlled ceiling fan and lights, Amazon fire stick TV, dual head showers, wine glasses, cookware & dishes, and soft, comfortable bedding (just to make a few). The property has everything you need and want in a home away from home. Thank you so much to Joe, Karen, Shaquira and Mark for the beautiful property and amazing stay! ❤️
