Paradise in the Tropics
My wife and I spent a week at Taja's Sunset Apartment. The whole property was so beautiful. We loved the screened-in kitchen that faced out over the tropical landscape. We started each day jumping into the ocean on the nearly private beach, and then driving out to explore a new part of the island. The apartment is in a beautiful part of the island with great snorkeling right off the beach and only a short drive to Governor's Harbour. Taja was super communicative and helpful in coordinating our stay and renting us a vehicle. 10/10 would come back and bring extended family to rent the other units on the property.

Wonderful location, with beautiful pristine beaches… it was the perfect place to relax and swim, and catch up on some good reading. Doon was a wonderful ambassador.

Great place! I’d recommend
I loved this rental. Eleuthera was a beautiful island to explore and this rental is located right in the middle making it easy to travel North or South. Taja and Doone were great along with the really nice guests that were staying there as well.

About the host

Hosted by Taja McKinney

Host profile image
The McKinney family has lived in The Bahamas for generations. At 17 Doon was teaching school in a remote village in Botswana. She fell in love with the idea of living in a Round House. When she returned to The Bahamas she decided to move from Nassau to the remote and untouched island of Eleuthera and build her own round house. Everyone was a bit skeptical of this young woman clearing the land by herself and building a house with no electricity, running water, car or a telephone.

Camping out every night on the site helped her develop an intense connection with the land and gave her the opportunity to build a house that was perfect for the location. She decided to build 11-foot arches on all five sides of the house to allow the ocean breeze to sweep into the house. She nestled the house among coconut trees and Casuarina trees where you can hear the sound of the wind in the trees and the waves on the beach. She surrounded the house with a garden full of beautiful hibiscus, oleander, seagrape, coconuts and, other native flowers and trees.

It was a challenge for a woman with limited carpentry skills to clear the land and almost single-handedly build a house- having never built so much as a box. Doon persevered and used creativity to overcome many of the obstacles she encountered. While still working on the building of the house Doon married and had 2 daughters (Casuarina and Taja)- the youngest was born right in the Round House before the midwife even found her way out to the house.

Casuarina became a marine biologist on Eleuthera and runs the Bahamas marine conservation foundation. Taja and Doon work together to run Casuarina Bay. Taja handles booking requests and Doon coordinates all the details once guests arrive to Eleuthera.

What makes this property unique

The sunset apartment provides guests with privacy and the convenience of being just steps away from the Casuarina Bay beach. The Sunset Apartment can be booked alone or in conjunction with one of our other Casuarina Bay rentals to provide additional space for a larger group.
