About this cottage rental
New owners in 2022 but the same property manager, and the same great environment that returning guests enjoyed in the past.
Whistling Duck is a romantic one bedroom cottage, approx 600 sq ft. It has air conditioning, and a full kitchen, living room, full bath with an inside shower, plus an outside shower, and a king sized bed. It’s located on beautiful Lochabar Point Beach in Clarence Town, Long Island, Bahamas. Three islands border the harbour in front to protect and calm the water. Wonderful for swimming and snorkeling! Inside French doors open into the bedroom with a connecting bathroom. A private veranda with an attached outdoor shower is accessible from the bedroom. Windows abound with special water views. The covered porch deck leads to a path, and a few steps take you to a covered palapa placed right at the water’s edge.
This cottage has privacy but is within a short drive to well stocked stores and great island restaurants. It is a self caretaking cottage with the option for a fee of daily housekeeping. Long Island is a family friendly island and is very safe. It is known as one of the best places in the world to bonefish.

We’ve always wanted to stay at this property, and we’re so glad we finally had the chance. The property is beautiful, and both the Duck and Pelican cottages are wonderful. They’re thoughtfully stocked with just about everything you could need, including very nice kayaks. While unfortunately we didn’t get to meet Peter and Pam, they made sure we had everything we needed for an awesome stay. Such a special spot on a beautiful bay.

Our third trip to Whistling Duck. Still one of favorites in the Out Islands for a couple.

Looking for a "hut on a deserted beach," we found Long Island delivered the peace we craved, while the Whistling Duck cottage far exceeded expectations. It is well-equipped, comfortable, and beautifully landscaped by a weekly gardener. Tip: bring binoculars to watch the marine life and marina traffic.Pro-Tips for Long Island: * Provisioning: Since goods are shipped in weekly, stock is often low and prices are high. We used Shan Wilson for pantry pre-stocking and pre-prepared meals. Her service was invaluable and highly recommended. * Water: The cottage uses a rain cistern. Conservation is vital, and while there is a kitchen filter, we preferred bottled water for drinking. * Transportation: A 4x4 or SUV is essential if you plan to explore. Side roads to the beaches are often impassable for standard cars.The Experience:The location is the true highlight—just 25 steps from a private beach cabana. We spent every morning on the porch watching rays swim by. While the trade winds are lovely, be prepared for midges when the breeze drops.Owners Peter and Pam are excellent hosts. Peter provides detailed arrival info and consistent weather updates via email. This property easily earns its 10/10 rating.

We wrestled with leaving this review as we definitely plan to return and don't want to have to jockey for reservations! BUT, the hosts are wonderful and highly communicative, and Violet is an absolute gem! We stayed here 2 weeks after hostoric Hurricane Melissa passed through. Our trip did not go as planned, thanks to a gale force warning that was in place all week, as well as unexpected issues not related ot the cottage but the cottage itself was phenomenal and a welcome home base as we navigated our way through the week. Our flight off the island was cancelled, with no available flights until the next day, and Violet graciously allowed us to stay another night, otherwise we would've been sleeping on the floor at the airport! We are eager to return and experience Long Island when there isn't weather and supply issues & will absolutely be staying at Whistling Duck when we do!
