Incredible views and luxury amenities await at Paradise Found. This little oceanfront piece of heaven on Winding Bay in the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas boasts vistas of the sea or the golf course from every room. Charming cottage-style architecture and four suite-style bedrooms make this private villa a wonderful retreat for a family beach vacation or a pretty hideaway for a honeymoon.

Paradise Found opens to a shaded porch overlooking the ocean, where you can sip a morning coffee at the sitting area or try out new recipes on the barbecue and smoker before serving them at the al-fresco dining area. Descend the steps to a deck that stretches out beside the heated pool, complete with loungers and a bar table. There’s a bocce court where you can challenge friends and family and a firepit for evenings of stargazing.

Bright, beachy interiors add to the seaside charm of this Bahamas vacation rental. In the great room, which stretches along the front of the cottage, large windows mean the powdery white sand and rolling blue waves are practically part of the decor. At one end of the great room, the sitting area features classic pieces like a roll-arm sofa, wicker settee and natural-fiber rug, plus playful touches like palm-print upholstery and accent pillows with a seahorse motif. At the other end, the dining area is thoughtfully tucked into a bay of windows facing the water, and the fully equipped kitchen has a large breakfast bar painted a cheery shade of periwinkle.

Each of the four bedrooms at Paradise Found has a king bed and en-suite bathroom; the master suite opens directly to the terrace and two of the other bedrooms also have daybeds with roll-out trundles. In each bedroom you’ll be delighted by Caribbean-inspired touches like four-poster beds, louvered screens, palm motifs on rugs and even lamps, and crisply painted beadboard paneling.

During your holiday, enjoy easy access to the beach a couple of minutes away from the villa. If you’d like to see more of the island, drive to Little Harbour, about 3.2 km away, the village of Cherokee, about 4.8 km away, or the restaurants and shops at Marsh Harbour, 35 km away. At 80 km away, Abaco National Park is just right for a day trip. When it’s time to leave, plan to return to the mainland via Marsh Harbour Airport, 30 km from Paradise Found.
