Sunrise by the Sea

Sunrise by the Sea sits inside Treasure Cove, a gated, 24-hour-secured residential community at Nassau’s eastern tip, with the ocean literally at the back door. Four bedrooms and five beds sleep up to eight, and the interior’s sea-toned decor leans into the setting rather than fighting it — most rooms have a water view.

Kayaks and snorkeling gear are included, so the “back garden” is really the open water just past the patio. A fully equipped kitchen and dining area make it easy to cook rather than eat out every night, and a backup generator keeps things running through a power outage. Palm Cay Marina and Beach Club is under five minutes away for a restaurant, beach bar, and live music when staying in gets old.

Worth knowing: a rental car is essential here — it’s a 7-minute walk just to get out of the Treasure Cove gates, buses are scarce at this end of the island, and taxis add up fast without a car of your own.
