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” (named for Ernest Hemingway, who frequented Bimini and found inspiration here for his sea-faring tales) 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!
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Rainbow Reef. Laundry facilities are available. The cottage offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

The Cottage was fantastic. The Owner had recently done a renovation, and the house was well appointed. We will definitely stay there again. Owner was easy to communicate with by email and everything was delivered as promised.

The house and location was incredible and just as described in the listing. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute, getting up in the morning and having coffee on the dock and enjoying the sunrise! The house was clean, well-appointed and perfect kitchen for the times when we did cook. We can't say enough great things! And when we had a hiccup with the lock - it was figured out quickly! We would most definitely stay again!

This is paradise. We played, swam, floated, snorkeled and fished right off the dock. So many snapper, tarpon, barracuda, rays, tropical fish, and octopus. It was like our own sea world. We also absorbed the island and had great party nights out at the fun local bars. Slept comfortably, had everything we needed. So fun!

Amazing place for family or group vacation. The house is clean and recently updated, lots of space, great kitchen with everything you need to cook. We loved to swim in the bay and got lucky to see stingrays, sharks and lots of fish. Joe was very helpful and always ready to answer any questions

The washer did work we planned on using the washer and dryer as listed in the add. Come to find out it did not work. There was no water for a few hours on the morning of the 3rd, it was an Island outage. Other than that it is a decent location. I would recommend updating the AC unit in the master bedroom and possibly a TV in the rooms.

Not a bad place to say but not the best

It was my first time staying at the property and the highlight of the place is you have a great view of the Bimini Channel with a view of all the boats coming in and out. But at the same time you have to share the dock with 2 other cottages onsite. If you get to use the one that's closest to the house you wont have a big issue but If you have to dock on the outside the waves from all the boats passing by will have your boat rocking against the dock all day. I did not like the fact that just a few steps next door you have another place that is rented so I did not feel comfortable hanging out on the dock with another group of people right there that can hear or see everything your doing. With small children and and a bunch of men on a fishing trip next door it was not ideal. Having no privacy unless inside takes away a lot from the place. Upon arrival the workers had no idea we were coming In so they quickly freshen up the room but the beds had hair and you can tell the the sheets had not been washed. The rooms where nice in size with wall A/C that kept the rooms nice and cold at night. The Location of the place is great as you close to everything. I wish I had known that the property was shared with others because I would have factored that into my decision. My worry about booking here again would be if the people that are rented in the cottages on the same property are not too nice or are a bit rowdy it would ruin your vacation and the place is not cheap either.

Perfect stay

The house was the perfect fit for our large group. It was updated, clean and in the perfect location. We came by boat and the dock was large enough to accommodate 2 boats. No negatives!

Best place in Bimini!

A group of us rented all 3 cottages for a week and it was even better than it looks on line. The views were spectacular and the cottages were so cute and clean. The property Manager was SO fast to respond - set up gold carts for us, dropped off propane when we ran out- just on top of everything! We are already planning our next trip. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
