About this property

Lo key - Island Gypsy Gorgeous cottage apartment on Cocoa Bay

Experience the beauty of green turtles swimming in their natural habitat right from your front door at Cocoa Bay! Island Gypsy is a premier vacation rental, located on the ground floor of the Lo Key Villa. This spacious 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment offers stunning sea views and is just steps away from Cocoa Bay Beach.

Designed to highlight the natural splendor of Cocoa Bay, a pristine 1.5-mile stretch of soft sand, this location is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and family fishing adventures. Multiple porches and sun decks provide breathtaking views of the white sandy beach and sparkling turquoise waters.

Immaculately clean and professionally decorated in an island-inspired style, Island Gypsy is the perfect getaway. You'll find an abundance of activities and attractions just minutes away.

A leisurely five-minute walk takes you to the Atlantic Ocean, where you can swim, snorkel, and fish among the vibrant marine life on the world’s third-longest barrier reef, located just 200 feet offshore. Alternatively, hop on a golf cart to explore the island, visiting two nearby resorts and discovering breathtaking beaches, bays, and coves. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the historic settlement of New Plymouth, dating back to the late 1700s, where you’ll find charming shops, restaurants, bars, galleries, and a museum.

Though Island Gypsy is a new addition to the area, it's already garnering considerable attention.

Ideal for one or two couples seeking a memorable getaway.

Perfect location

Great location. Very peaceful stay. Didn’t have enough chairs for everyone to sit at the table on the porch to eat (the only dining area). We only had two folding chairs that were operable. Communication with host was prompt and helpful.

Decompress

After several months of dealing with a hurricane in the mountains, we needed a break. We have stayed at this property in the past and have always found it to be perfect for us. Just the right size with all the amenities we could want. The host has always responded to questions and ensured we had all our needs met. We will be back! Plus, the turtles are a short walk away.

Lo Key High Enjoyment!

The Lo Key cottage is in a perfect location, right on Coco Bay. Easy access to the municipal boat dock and turtle and stingrays. Also, 2 minutes from where we got off the ferry and picked up the golf cart. Host was very responsive!

Unbelievable Lovely Place to Stay

James place, the ground floor apartment of Lo Key Cottage was just about perfect for us. Easy communication. Great price. SUPER clean. Plus, that fantastic screened in porch, a huge very comfortable couch, ample linens and towels, and actually comfortable beds. The location is insane. Quiet and basically in the shores of Coco Bay where’s it’s easy to make friends with stingrays and sea turtles. Absolutely gorgeous. If the only things missing are pepper and towel racks, that’s hardly anything. We’d totally stay there again, though we’d hope for upstairs neighbors with a lighter step;)Five out of five stars. Easily. High recommend!!!

Beautiful Spot

This house has most beautiful view. Only problem is no one on island knows the name Island Gypsy. House is known as Low Key. Took an hour to find someone that knew where we where staying. Beautiful place to stay.

Disliked: Communication

Very comfortable, clean and well stocked home. Outside bathroom needed cleaning or refreshing before check in. Tree limbs obstructed view to sea. Would have liked a standing grill. Only 3 chairs for patio set when we arrived, 4th had to be searched for. Couldn’t turn fans on patio on. Needed candles or repellent for bugs or recommendations for guests to bring with them. While it’s the little things that affect the overall experience I would still recommend this property. Host or caretaker should have emergency number in unit if needed.

Very nice VRBO

Clean and quaint. Great for family, single quasi-private bathroom between bedrooms. We rented only first floor. I believe that listing indicated beach chairs, none were found, but we didn't ask. Owner was very responsive to all of our requests. Screened Porch is very nice, keeps mosquitoes out (but not no-seeums) bring bug spray. Overall wonderful place!

Fabulous location, peaceful, clean

What a lovely place. Couldn't have been more perfect. We really enjoyed the screened in porch which allowed us to have the french doors to the bedroom and living room open all the time! Listening to the rustle of the palm trees and the sound of the water and being able to sit in bed with a cup of coffee and look out over the water in the morning and the stars at night was a bonus. We've been coming to the Abacos for 15 years on our boat. No longer have the boat but sitting in this apartment looking out and enjoying the peace and quiet made us feel like we were on our boat! The apartment was very clean and well supplied with everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back.

Perfect accommodations!

The house is very clean and very comfortable. It is right on Coco Beach. 17 steps from the front step to the beach. I was able to watch stingrays, nurse sharks and turtles as well as many fish from the dock just down the beach from the house. It is a very quiet area. I slept so well each night. The beds are very comfortable. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need. All appliances work well and having access to a washer and dryer was a big plus. The view from the screened-in front porch is incredible! You look right onto Coco Bay. There is also an outdoor porch which is fenced with a picket fence for a little bit of privacy, so you can sit in the sun if you choose. There's also comfortable table and chairs in the screened in porch as well as a grill. The owner is incredibly quick to answer any questions that you may have, he is helpful and he is very accommodating. If you need to relax and decompress this is definitely the place! I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful location and place

I traveled with my husband and 2 small kids to Green Turtle. This location was perfect. Coco Bay is great for kids, shallow and warm. We were able to snorkel there as well and saw some sharks and fun fish. We rented a golf cart from Brendals and had fun exploring the whole island. I am glad we stayed on the Coco Bay side, it was nice and quiet. The place itself was great. It was a wonderful added bonus to have laundry facilities. Especially with kids. I hope we get to go back again!
