About this property

Entire place

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

Mainbrace. A Three Bedroom, Two Bath Home Just Steps From The Beach!

Mainbrace was built in the 1970's and renovated to the studs during the Summer of 2015.
It's a charming three bedroom, two bath beach cottage on a large property strewn with swaying coconut trees.
Located "one off the beach", Mainbrace sits behind the dune, so while you can't see the ocean from the house, you can hear it and feel the ocean's breezes. It is just a few short steps * to the nearest beach access and beach chairs and an umbrella are available for your use at the house.
You can view the location on the satellite image below. Click "satellite" and zoom in.
* Want to see just how close the walk is? Check out our "links and video" page for a video of the stroll from the gate to the top of the dune of the beach access!

Mainbrace's bedrooms are configured as such: The "master" queen has an en suite bathroom; the second queen and twin bedroom share the second bathroom. The kitchen is large and fully appointed. There are indoor and outdoor dining areas for 6 - 10 people. AC throughout as well as a whole home in-wall stereo system, cable, wi-fi, free long distance and security.
There is an outdoor shower, a gas grill...pretty much anything you need to make Mainbrace your home away from home.

If you have any questions or require additional info, don't hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to having you!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe. Limited housekeeping is available.

The house looks just like the pictures. It is beautifully decorated with nice Bahamian charm. We like to cook and eat in and the kitchen is very well stocked. It is great to be able to walk to the beach and not have to take the golf cart. It was easy to carry fixings to enjoy cocktails on the beach.

Mainbrace is the perfect family vacation house. It’s close enough to run back if you forget something on the beach. It is beautifully decorated, has every kitchen item you need and inspires you to step back and relax. My two favorite places are the hammock and the outside shower. Trish has great communication and if you need anything taken care of she’s on it, along with her property manager who was very kind and helpful. Every time we leave we start thinking of when we can come back!

Just the Best

My family and I had just the BEST stay at Mainbrace. All the comforts of home in a beautifully decorated, well designed space that’s clearly maintained with love. We went slightly off season and often had the stunning beach to ourselves. Being on the quieter end of the island was perfect for us and anything we needed was just a short golf cart ride away. Lovely owners and caretakers made this an easy and unforgettable stay!
