This charming heritage site was constructed of resilient Abaco pine in 1920. Guests will have access to the entire home, including a master suite and guest bedroom on the ground floor, and a spacious guest bedroom with half bath on the upper floor. There is a open plan kitchen equipped with everything you need for cooking and grilling, a cozy living room for reading and relaxing and, of course, WiFi.

**Covid-19 - Cleaning Measures**
I have adopted some new policies to ensure I am providing the safest possible environment for you and your loved ones during your stay. I follow Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance. Here are a few highlights:
I sanitize high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknob.
I use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies, and I wear protective gear to help prevent cross-contamination.
I clean each room using extensive cleaning checklists.
I provide extra cleaning supplies (including disposable paper towels, disposable gloves, multi-surface cleaner, disinfectant wipes or spray, antibacterial hand sanitizer and extra hand soap), so you can clean as you stay.
All linens are changed between guests, washed at the highest temperature setting and thoroughly dried before storage.
I comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines.
I hope that these measures will put your mind at ease throughout your stay, however if you have any questions about my cleaning practices please don't hesitate to ask.

This was our second trip to Spanish Wells.. This home was absolutely precious.. great central location approximately 2 minutes from beach with beach views through most windows in the home.. front and back porches were so nice in morning and evenings.. grill was nice to have for afternoon grilling! The island is so beautiful, and has so many fun things to do. Locals are some of the sweetest in the Bahamas also! Dede was excellent with communication and check in/check out.. made everything so simple and stress free. Hope to return again next year!
Property is very centrally located with all ammenities close by. We walked to the beach everyday which was litterally down the street. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Dede was also very easy to communicate with.
Great house and location. Enjoyed every minute of it.
We have been coming to Spanish Wells for several years and this is the first time we stayed at Palm Cottage. The owner Dede met us at the dock and showed us the way to the house. It's a wonderful place that is just as the pictures represent. The pride of ownership shows as it was clean and very nicely decorated. Back deck was a great place for evening dinners. We will be back to stay again.
Very clean, very comfortable, close to the stunning beach and busy with real life harbor.
Dede’s property is wonderfully located close to the beach and the dock. I fished on the dock numerous nights and caught a variety of species. The house has wonderful decor, and it felt very cozy. The kitchen had all the utensils needed to prepare meals for the family. Dede and Candida helped us with any questions and concerns that we had as well. Our daughter felt very comfortable and enjoyed cooking meals with us. Our friends who are native to Spanish wells also enjoyed the rental as well. Thank you Dede for sharing this spectacular home with us. God bless :) From the Filipino-American family with love.
Lovely place. I will definitely come bath.
