Yellowbird Winding Bay, Bahamas – The Abacos, Caribbean

Sunset views, easy beach access and luxury amenities make holidays at Yellowbird a dream. Set on Winding Bay in the Abaco Islands, this cottage-style Bahamas vacation rental looks out over the beautiful turquoise water from nearly every room. An open floor plan and three spacious bedrooms, plus a sleeping loft, make this villa an inviting place to spend time with friends and family, but it would also make a postcard-worthy setting for a relaxed Caribbean honeymoon.

The cottage opens to a roomy shaded porch with lounge chairs and a screened-in dining area, all overlooking the bay, plus a sunny private deck where you can perfect your tan. Take the included golf cart to the shared Abaco Club facilities, from an infinity pool and fitness center to tennis courts. You can also borrow water sports equipment from the club, and if you choose to go out fishing, cook up your catch on the villa’s barbecue. In the evenings, enjoy a glass from the wine fridge and share photos of your day via Wi-Fi.

Airy and open, the interiors of Yellowbird have a thoughtful elegance, even as they nod to the oceanfront setting. In the spacious great room, enjoy water views from the striped sofa, botanical-print chair, leather loungers or one of the six seats at the refined dining table. With a generous breakfast bar and polished granite countertops, the fully equipped kitchen is a model of both practicality and style.

Each of the three bedrooms at Yellowbird has a king bed, and two of the three have en-suite bathrooms. In the master suite, you’ll find direct access to a terrace; in the other two bedrooms, the bed can be separated into two twin beds for flexible sleeping arrangements. Tropical touches like bright bedding, beadboard ceilings and dark wood furniture give the suites vibrant personality. If you need more room, a spiral staircase in the great room leads up to a sleeping loft with two twin beds and incredible ocean views.

While your stay at Yellowbird includes the use of a golf cart, the villa also puts you a -minute walk from the beach and a 5-minute walk from the spa and golf course. Adventurous visitors can make the nearly 2-mile drive to Little Harbour, the 3-mile drive to the village of Cherokee or the 21.5-mile drive to the shopping and dining at Marsh Harbour (where you’ll also find the nearest airport). A 50-mile drive brings you to Abaco National Park, where you can stroll through pine forests and spot native parrots in their natural habitat.
