Before going into a detailed description we want to share some things we often get asked about. it's highly recommended you get an international day plan. (i.e. AT&T charges $15/day and each additional member on the plan pay 50%) since you will be exploring the island during most of your stay. We have a private trail from our property down to the beach below and also easy access to main trail just past our property. We have an attached optional apartment that sleeps 2 and can be used in conjunction with the main house, just ask for a cleaning fee. We DO NOT rent the apartment to another family during your stay for privacy. We also offer a special discounted SUV rental rate for our customers through our car rental guy and if he doesn't have what you need we have additional contacts in our trip planner.. The roads in Eleuthera are poor, bumpy and dark, but that is part of the island experience. We cannot allow any pets, service or therapy animals due to severe pet allergies in our family. Also note that there some boardwalk style platform steps you need to walk up to get to the villa from the driveway. There are security cameras on the exterior premises used as a deterrent and precaution. There is very little crime on Eleuthera with petty theft being the most common though very rare.


Eleuthera Villa is a fantastic, elevated beach setting with stunning vistas. One vacationing family described it as “Something out of the movie Castaway in the South Pacific,” and we couldn't have said it better. Most people do not realize the Fiji-style elevations in some parts of the island, and our property boasts several stunning, elevated views. There is a really cool private Gilligan's Island type tropical trail that snakes its way through the lush foliage down to the beach. There is also a private bench sitting area that literally hangs over the ocean. Couple that with a stunning vantage point and a world class beach located right at the property, and you have one of the premier rentals on Eleuthera. Nowhere on the entire island (or any Bahamian island) is there such a breathtaking vista as what we have.

Most people walk up on to our upper deck for the first time and just stand there in awe for a few moments before realizing the rare beauty of the place. The different shades of color in the ocean you see from our deck are truly mesmerizing and seem more like a painting than real life. The upper deck is our favorite spot for sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails- the views are just stunning. If you are into Yoga there may be no better place on Earth than our upper deck to do your thing. Yoga mats provided.

The air conditioned villa was completed in early 2017. The main house has three bedrooms (one bedroom is a loft) with one King bed in each bedroom and two queen beds in the loft. Plus there is an optional air conditioned apartment with one queen bed which brings the property total to four bedrooms and five queen beds if you choose to add the apartment.

You will find beautiful craftsmanship and wood work with nautical ceiling fans and 16 foot high open-beam vaulted ceilings throughout. The home has everything you need for a comfortable stay including a large, open-style kitchen is that well equipped for cooking at home. There is an outdoor grill for your fresh fish, conch and lobsters. There is a dining table and center island bar area that seats eight people. Each bedroom features comfortable King beds with excellent mattresses. Our living room furniture consists of2 full sized couches, 1 chair and a coffee table all in a tasteful, island-style decor. The villa is bright and open and because of the elevation it gets great trade winds which means cool temperatures at night and fewer insects. If the wind is blowing on the top deck you can move down to the shaded porch area or the grotto overlooking the Atlantic with an 8' bench which faces towards Harbour Island. Each room hosts a great view whether it be the aquamarine shades of the ocean to the east or the deep green hillside to the west with its magnificent sunsets. We have multiple furnished decks to enjoy. Most decks are open to the sun but one is covered if you'd like to get some shade. Our deck space adds up to a combined 1000 square feet. There is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off after a beach day or bathing under the stars at night if you choose.

The grounds are landscaped with cashmere zoysia style golf course grass, orchids, flowers, exotic plants, numerous coconut palm trees and stone walls. For nature lovers one of the neat things we get to enjoy is the government owned jungle nature preserve that borders our property. It is filled with lush foliage, birds and wildlife. We have a resident (pet) bird called a Yellow Crowned Night Heron who usually hangs out on our decks. At quiet times of the day you can listen to the music of numerous bird species, including many humming dirds, talking to each other. You also get to see both amazing sunrises and sunsets from the property due to the elevation and its position. The setting is very peaceful, private and unique in that we have the jungle and the beach in the same place!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PROPERTY:

Eleuthera Villa and the attached apartment are the main living structures of the property. It is located way up the main driveway about 300 feet from the road along the top of the ridgeline over looking the ocean. We have a guest cottage called The Surf Cottage which is set down lower on the property nestled into the jungle. The cottage and villa are completely separate and have their own driveways and boardwalk entrances. The guest cottage has it's own trail to the beach which connects to the main trail. We have one neighbor to our north and no immediate neighbors to the west or south. The ocean is to the east. If you wish to inquire about renting the guest cottage out in conjunction with the main Villa and apartment just ask.


We have recently added Starlink internet and its a success. We are also fully solar which is a big deal. Power outages are common on Eleuthera. Typically happens weekly but we no longer have to deal with that as we are one of only a few on the island that are completely off the grid. We highly recommend getting international day plan with your carrier for cell phone use. (AT&T for example charges $10-$15/day unlimited and each member on the plan 50% off of that price)

As far as location, we are just 2 miles from Gregory Town and 3 miles from Hatchet Bay with lots to do from restaurants and bars to adventure trips and exploring caves, blue holes and everything in between, plus all the stuff you need like grocery stores, gas stations and liquor stores are all nearby. Warning: if you are not familiar with Eleuthera the roads are not the best. Potholes are common on the main road and the side roads are fairly bumpy stone and dirt roads and very dark at night so be prepared for some adventure! The beaches in this part of the island are numerous, stunning and usually empty. We are conveniently located between the North Eleuthera and Governor's Harbor airports. (each about 25 minutes away). When you rent a vehicle you will meet your car rental guy when you come out of the airport typically. You can drop off the rental car at the airport when you leave for added convenience.

Our general area has lots of neat things to do such as snorkeling, diving, fishing, surfing, kayaking, bars, restaurants, tons of beaches, a blue hole, caves and other adventures and landmarks.
