About this property

Charming Cottage Directly on Calm Caribbean, Best Ocean Views!

"Gurgle and Whump" - named for the two blowholes or "boiling holes" in the rock beside the sea - is a charming, airy two-bedroom house right on the shore of the Caribbean side of Eleuthera. Light, bright furniture and several large glass sliding doors give you the feeling of being out in the sea and sky even indoors. The sliding doors of one bedroom look straight out to the sea, the sliding doors of the other look out to the sea through the garden's palm trees. Both bedrooms have AC.

A large shade sail protects the patio, and a second patio with umbrella is located beside the steps cut through the rock for access to the sea with its excellent snorkeling - expect to see groupers, yellowtails, blue tangs, and schools of juvenile fish.

The house is on a quiet side street, but walking distance to the Big Rock grocery store, restaurant and bar. Just north of James Cistern, and within easy reach of Governor's Harbour, its airport and dozens of empty beaches.

The kitchen features a stove-top gas cooker, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. (The kitchen has a range and microwave but not an oven.)

Amenities include AC in the bedrooms, washer/dryer, WiFi, Roku TV, DVDs, board games, books, beach chairs, and a gas grill.

Family Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a beautiful location. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a great vacation in the Bahamas. We did sadly have poor water pressure for the first three days that resulted in not being able to run the dishwasher, do laundry or take showers effectively. They did come and repair the pump and we gained enough to then perform those tasks. On the last day the power went out right when we were trying to finish up our laundry and the dishwasher was halfway through. We found out later that it was a scheduled outage for the central part of the island. It would have been really helpful to know that was coming so we could have prepared. Leaving for a plane ride home with wet laundry was not fun!

Vacation Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house worked, it does need to be updated. But it was clean and good kitchen cookware and utensils. They do need to replace gas grill. The home is right on the ocean which is very nice. Centrally located on island and lots of privacy.

Amazing Views!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property location is great for getting North or South. The home was clean. Bed and bedding was great! Views are phenomenal! It changes from day to day. Getting in and out of the water via the steps on a calm day, high tide is very easy. We are 60 and had no problem-highly recommend getting in! We found there was most everything we could want. Plenty of towels, dishes, silverware, etc. Maybe more lighting for power outages and a scissors.
