Overview

This lovely vacation rental villa in the Bahamas is perched on the side of a hill and is designed to take advantage of the tremendous views this location offers. There is a large terrace facing the ocean that is ideal for looking out over the deep sapphire coloured waters of the Atlantic, for dining al fresco and of course, for star gazing. From here you can see waves breaking on the reefs offshore and hear the sound of the surf as it hits the cliffs in the distance.

High wooden vaulted ceilings throughout the villa give it the feeling of space and light. The main bedroom has wicker furniture with a queen size bed and large, ocean facing windows. A smaller second bedroom contains a futon couch that pulls out into a double bed. This bedroom has direct access to the terrace through sliding glass doors. There is a shared large bathroom, kitchen and spacious comfortable living and dining area with wonderful ocean views and direct access to the terrace through sliding glass doors.

While the nearest beach is only a 10 minute walk away, you will want to be sure to visit the many pristine beaches and small villages that dot this 176 km long island, as well as the two smaller islands that lay just off the northern tip of Eleuthera.

Location & area

Eleuthera, with a population 10 500 is in fact a chain of 3 islands – Eleuthera Island, St. George’s Cay and Harbour Island. Eleuthera Island was the first permanent settlement in The Bahamas, founded more than 300 years ago by English Adventurers fleeing persecution in Bermuda and England in search of religious freedom They named it Eleuthera, the Greek word for freedom.



Eleuthera Island is an island of white and pale pink sand beaches framed by casuarinas trees, high rolling green hills, sea-to-sea views, dramatic cliffs, and sheltered coves. More than 160 kilometres long but merely 3 kilometres wide, you are never far from the beach on this island. Gregory Town is the pineapple capital of Eleuthera and a bit farther south is Surfers Beach, one of the best surfing spots in the Bahamas. Governor's Harbour, the most well-known of the settlements is a small, quiet town with a collection of distinctive colonial homes often listed in the National Register of Historical Properties. It has small restaurants and shops, quaint churches and colourful Bahamian buildings and is within walking distance to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.



A short water taxi ride from the northern part of Eleuthera Island is Harbour Island (or Briland, as it’s known to residents). Harbour Island is only 4,8 kilometres long and less than a kilometre wide and famous for its warm, pink-hued sand beach running almost the entire length of the island and for its quaint Loyalist architecture with rows of century-old trees bordering narrow flower-lined streets.



Another short water taxi ride away is Spanish Wells on St. George’s Cay, a quiet sleepy little island of fisherman well-known for their lobstering skills and charming colourful cottages.
