Great place to get away and enjoy the quiet beaches

The cabin is just perfect side for two. The walk to the beach is relatively short over the ridge. This is a great location to explore the island from

Lovely little cottage, incredible location

Tucked away in the jungle this is a great little spot with everyone one needs for a tropical getaway. Follow the rocky, narrow path through jungle to view of incredible emerald coastline and then down to beach. Even better, invite friends and rent the Eleuthera Villa as well.

Lovely

My husband and I stayed at the jungle cottage for four nights and were very happy. It is just as pictured and the view from the top of the cliff is breathtaking. We also found the best of our shell collection at surfers beach. The owners were also very helpful and provided all of the information we needed. Thank you for having us!

WILL BE COMING BACK

This place was a home run! We will be coming back someday for sure. The host was very great at communicating and has an excellent "manual" for the property with tips and everything you need to know. Perfect place to unplug and walk to beach anytime you feel like it. You can walk out the front door and hear the waves!

Great Vacation Rental!

This place was so great! Very clean, very comfortable and very relaxing! Its kind of tricky to get to, its very much "in da bush" as they say, but so worth it! The beach trail was a little more rough than we expected, but thats worth the effort too. The private beach there is breathtaking! We would take our coffee in the morning and watch the waves, one of my favorite things to do while we were on the island. We never did see or talk to the caretaker, didn't need to, but the owner was very responsive to emails. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you, Lesley. So glad you were able to enjoy your time and yes, our neighborhood is certainly in the da bush. It has more of a Costa Rica or Central American feel than the rest of the Bahamas which is why we love it. Thank you for your stay, Lesley.

Restive Retreat

Overall, we enjoyed our stay: Comfortable cottage for two, with all necessary and many extra supplies for an enjoyable and restive vacation at a beautiful beach. Caretaker and owners were very thoughtful and helpful in providing great info and support. Our one concern was the “closed-in” location of the cottage in the “jungle”. We would have enjoyed the opportunity to be outside and enjoy the early morning and night with an open view of surroundings, including the night sky. Still, we had a great time exploring the beaches, snorkeling, and hanging with the locals in town. Thanks Todd and Mary.

Great little place!

This was our first trip to Eleuthera so we didn’t know what to expect. The guide that Todd sent before the trip was super helpful and I found myself referring to it throughout the trip. The cottage was just as described and had everything we needed. We didn’t have cell service in the cottage but did if we walk to the top of the hill. It wasn’t an issue for the most part since we were looking to disconnect. The beach by the house was not our favorite, but that didn’t matter since there were so many places to explore. There were people staying in the main house while we were there but we wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t seen them on the trail. It felt nice and private. My only constructive criticism would be that upgraded pillows would have been amazing.

This is THE Place to get Unplugged and Renewed

My wife and I have traveled to many places, but few have given us the mental and physical therapy of 'getting away from it all' like the Jungle Cottage. You are truly embedded into a jungle oasis with every essential accommodation. The ocean is a short walk away. At night, your senses are lulled into rest by hearing the crash of the surf on Surfers Beach. The unit is self-contained, as they have thought of everything. While the cell signal isn't ideal (why would you want to stay connected to the 'outside world' anyways), stepping out to the parking area we get adequate cell for calls and connectivity. Again, why hide away into a jungle to stay connected. Sitting in the screen covered lanai, you get full High Def nature all around. Appliances and facility resources are great. Love the absolute privacy and the optional outdoor shower. My wife and I both experienced holistic healing from working in a frenetic paced world in the States. The peace, solitude and absence of distractions allowed us to plan our 'future selves' and goals, with greater clarity. Jungle Cottage gave us what vacations are for - get away, do something unique, be comfortable and heal. Come, and stay at the Jungle Cottage.

Absolutely Breathtaking

We had a wonderful stay in Eleuthera! My family booked the Villa and the cottage for our trip. The views and beaches on the Island are unbelievable!!!! I never knew such beauty existed to be honest! We enjoyed having the beach mostly to ourselves. Maybe saw 5 other people on a given day. It was nice to have the privacy and not have to fight any crowds! Especially for a prime time summer beach vacation. Todd and his wife were wonderful hosts! Super helpful, and give you so much important information/tips!! The houses were great and accommodated us well!
