Hidden Turtle Cottage - Green Turtle Cay

Hidden Turtle Cottage is 100% operational and ready for your visit.

The Hidden Turtle Cottage on Green Turtle Cay is nestled into a hillside steps away from Coco Bay and the Sea of Abaco. This secluded, comfortable house has a large fenced in yard which is nearly surrounded by a canopy of native trees. It is located within a two minute walk to the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and the Sea of Abaco.

Hidden Turtle Cottage is well appointed with the modern amenities that one would expect to include satellite and smart TVs and Starlink internet service. This metal roofed, spacious elevated home allows you to enjoy entertaining with the open concept floor plan. The breakfast bar defines the kitchen area where meals can be prepared on modern appliances.

Your privacy is assured with both bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. One bedroom has a large comfortable king sized bed with the second bedroom appointed with two equally comfortable twin beds.

All of the rooms of the house have large sliding doors that can be opened to enjoy the tropical breezes and sounds of the island. No need to worry about bugs either! The doors open onto a fully screened wrap around porch. New "solar shade" screens help to reduce the heat of the sun while maintaining views and the 64” fans will keep the breeze flowing.

Out on the screened veranda you will find a 6 place table setting perfect for al-fresco dining as well as a sitting area with an outdoor sofa and chairs that are perfect to read a good book on or to reflect on the island day that you had.

New furniture as well as an enhanced UV water sterilization and filtration system has been installed.

The cottage also boasts an automatic backup generator that restores power to the home within 15 seconds of the main electricity grid going out. In addition to the automatic generator, the house is fed by cistern which ensures you will have no service interruptions during your stay.

Hidden Turtle Cottage is close to all the activities that the north end of the island has to offer. Take a quick walk down a tree lined path to swim with the turtles on Coco Bay. The Green Turtle Club & Marina, with their pool and world famous “Dollar Bar” as well as Brendal’s Dive Center are just a 3 minute walk away. From your golf cart, a quick trip around White Sound brings you to The Bluff House featuring the Tranquil Turtle Bar with their picturesque beach. Lounge by the water with a cool drink and watch the boats traverse the Sea of Abaco or enjoy a tasty treat from the new Boat House restaurant located at the Bluff House.

Ride into historic New Plymouth Settlement on the south end of the island and explore the rich history that the island can share. Meet some of the friendliest folks you will ever come across as you meander through the narrow streets. Watch for the kids! They will no doubt be outside running around enjoying all that island life has to offer.
Don't forget to stop by Pineapples or Sundowner's to catch the sunset and swing by Miss Emily's for the original Goombay Smash.

Boat rentals can be arranged and there is free public dockage for your use on Coco Bay. Offshore and flats fishing guides are available.

Please note that this house is a ONE rental unit as the downstairs area is simply a storage area at this time –

Approximate distances:
Coco Bay Public Dock – 300 yards away
Ocean Beach – 340 yards away

NOTE: For those visitors who are wondering, many of the homes and businesses on GTC were significantly damaged during Hurricane Dorian. Those who love the island have been working long hours to repair, rebuild and rejuvenate lives and properties, moving forward together.

Many of your favorite businesses are back up and running!

Great house and Location
The house is close to the most beautiful beach (short walk) and public boat dock. The house itself is comfortable and clean with a well equipped kitchen. I cooked our catch most nights and it had everything I needed. Would love to stay again soon.

Great Rental
This is a clean and comfortable rental. All the amenities are there! The screened in porch was a great place to hang out, and the rental is only a quick walk from the beach. Mark was excellent at communicating with us, and even called to let us know when the ferry stopped running for a day. Margaret showed us to the rental and was there to help us with anything we needed. We would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Great home for family of 4
We had a great vacation at Hidden Turtle Cottage. The owner was very helpful and available to answer several questions we had come up during our stay (like a recommendation for a boat mechanic!). The house was equipped with all the necessities and then some. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would recommend it! Thank you Mark and Kelly for the use of your home it was lovely!

Great stay at Hidden Turtle Cottage
Hidden Turtle was just perfect for our short stay and had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive to questions, and the caretaker Margaret was amazingly helpful and gracious. We especially loved the spacious screened porch, where we enjoyed all our meals. The kitchen is well-appointed and the grounds are lovely and well maintained. The location is great with just a short walk to the beaches. The cottage has a nice welcoming feel and we had a great time there.

Perfect
Hidden Turtle Cottage was exactly the place I needed while on the cay for my daughter’s wedding. It was a peaceful home base that seemed completely secluded, yet I could drive a cart to the Club in less than five minutes. It was easily that close to Coco Bay as well! Mark checked on us to make sure we were settled in, and the caretaker, Margaret, was just a text away. The cottage itself was spacious, spotless, and well-laid out, and the huge screened-in porch was a peaceful place to relax in the evenings. We cant wait to go back! Thank you, Mark and Kelly, for the perfect place.

Peaceful Retreat
Mark, Kelly, and their caretaker Margaret went above and beyond to ensure we had a welcoming experience encapsulating the real Bahamas. Their home was clean, bright, open, airy and modern. They were responsive and considerate of all our needs, including bringing our groceries to us from the store. We have stayed at quite a few VRBO’s on Green Turtle Cay and this house was one of our favorites. The location near Coco bay and the Ocean beach was perfectly private, but easily accessible. We Will Definitely Rent There Again!

PARADISE
Not only is the island paradise, so is the property. The best way for me to describe it is complete serenity. The property was so beautiful, clean, and I felt comfortable and at home from the second I walked in. The beds were even extremely comfortable. The location is perfectly centered between town and the Bluff house marina where we kept our rental boat. The front porch was my happy place. I spent a lot of time enjoying the amazing view and listening to the sounds of nature. We will definitely be back and would love to stay again. The owner was very responsive every time I sent a message and was so helpful in answering questions to prepare for our trip since it was our first time. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

1st visit back since Dorien
We were so excited to be able to return to GTC, and Hidden Turtle provides us with the perfect location to dock the boat and enjoy Coco Bay. This was our 1st trip over to see our daughter who recently moved there to start Benthic Adventures with Ricky North and Christian Levarity, being able to spend time with them, see the amazing progress made with rebuilding, visiting with local friends, and spearfishing was good for the soul. Mark was so accommodating and during Tropical Storm Isaias he kept in regular contact to help ensure we had everything we needed. The caretakers Josh and Julie were fantastic and available if needed. I would highly recommend renting Hidden Turtle if your looking for a clean and comfortable house with easy access to the ocean or Coco Bay.
