Amazing, beautiful, spectacular, private and wild. There aren’t enough words to describe the scenery, location or the feelings you feel while here. Wonderful place to visit! Will be back! House is very well equipped to do anything that you want as long as you don’t need WiFi or TV (which I loved being without) we don’t realize how caught up in the rat race that we get until you get the opportunity to visit somewhere like this!! Snorkeling out front is some of the best on the island. Sea turtles daily and all kinds of sea life.

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this rustic no frills cabin. The views and wildlife are exceptional! Sea turtles abound! The owner was attentive and the check in and out process were seamless. We spent the bulk of our stay at the house enjoying the ocean and turtles, no need to venture out much. Bring a good book, some reef safe sunscreen (please) and relax!

Private Aquarium

Location, location, location. We only left the property a few times. Snorkeling in the lagoon was awesome most days... watched turtles and fish off the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Private and relaxing!

The most relaxing vacation ever. We enjoyed the very private and safe space. The lagoon was fun to snorkel in and watch fish and turtles swim. The sunsets were incredible from the deck and we enjoyed cooking local fish and conch on the outdoor grill. We hope to visit again!

Quiet private vacation for 2

Very quiet and very private cabin-like home perfect for 2. Lovely deck overlooking the beautiful turquoise water. We didn’t swim as the wave were very rough during our stay-but with beaches all over the place, that was ok.

Great Get Away Spot

No Wi-Fi...No Problem. Just book and unplug. This house is close to food and groceries are close by. Plenty of beaches close by. Your back yard is an exploration treasure trove. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We have stayed at many places on the island this spot has it's own wonderful unique character.

2nd Time - Just as Amazing

We enjoyed our stay in March so much, we couldn’t wait to come back. This time, while snorkeling in the lagoon, we spotted one of the sea turtles and a lion fish. This charming and comfy cottage is perfect for a couples getaway. Phillip, the caretaker is also wonderful.

The view at this place is amazing! We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the view and the sunsets every night. The kitchen was nicely outfitted; I really appreciated having an electric teakettle and a nice set of glass storage containers, which were so convenient. I second what others have said about bringing your own paper towels, extra toilet paper, etc. but would add dish detergent and facial tissue to the list. The host was great about answering questions - prompt and very helpful. FYI, the house had a very strong musty smell.

Wonderful place to stay

Beautiful place to stay. The swimming and snorkeling in the lagoon is amazing. Quiet and peaceful property. Rustic but charming. Inside not great for lounging on a rainy day but we spent most the time outside anyway! We will be back.

Breathtaking View

Bahama Sunset exceeded our expectations. From the deck, we watched everyday as the sea turtles swam by. At night, we watched the stars and the occasional satellite zip across the sky. It was truly a magical location and vacation. We will be back!

Was it a dream?

After returning home, the stay in Gregory Town seems like a dream. A dream filled with smiles, adventures, relaxation and the sounds of the Sea lapping against the rock below the house. Such a wonderful hiatus from the real world.

A Great Place to Unwind

My wife and I had four relaxing days here. It's a great place to turn off your cell phone, enjoy the ocean and unwind. The house had proper kitchen tools and we were able to find convenience/grocery stores nearby to buy ingredients for basic meals. We found a couple of great restaurants for dinner that provide some variety and local flavors. Having a car was a must as we were able to explore the island and go to the beach for a great day out. Highly recommend!

Spectacular location

House is spartan, but has all that you need and is comfortable. The site is just perfect. Great snorkeling right out your door and down the steps, as well as to north and south of cottage. Plus you can spend hours gazing at the sea and watching for sea turtles from the porch. And spectacular beaches a drive away to north and south. Host & caretaker were very easy to work with. Eleuthera is a place to slow down and go with the flow. Nearby grocery/convenience stores may not have exactly what you are looking for, but have pretty much all that you need.

Perfect view at a perfect location

Obviously the view is absolutely amazing and yes it’s better in person! Love the simplicity of the house - found the inside to be nicer than i anticipated from the pictures. It’s cozy but charming! We did spend most of the time at the house on the back porch though! We were delayed a day arriving which created some stress but Phillip met us at the property when we made it in with the car that we were also renting for the week. Made it entirely stress free and we needed that after being delayed 24 hours in a canceled flight / standby mess coming in. Would definitely rent here again!

Unreal!

This was the most amazing place!! It was everything and more. The property and lagoon below are unreal with the marine life you see snorkeling and the setting in general is simply perfect. This is my third time here and first time at this house. I cannot wait to come back and stay here again!! Most vacations for me I feel the house is just somewhere to go back to at the end of the day but this place is completely different! We loved our time spent at the house lagoon, jumping from the rocks and snorkeling seeing turtles and so much other life! We made sure hanging in the lagoon was a big part of our time spent and then secondly traveled to local beaches within minutes after we spent time at the house. Surreal!The location and house is unmatched. What an unforgettable experience! Thank you! Can’t wait to come back
