1BR Oceanfront Vacation Rental Eleuthera, Bahamas, sleeps 4

Paradise is not an illusion. Bahama Sunset is a romantic island retreat set on rugged cliffs overlooking the warm, peaceful waters of the Caribbean Ocean. It's perfect for a honeymoon, engagement, anniversary, or quiet getaway.

At Bahama Sunset you'll have a bird's eye view of the crystalline blue-green waters from every window. Walk down the stone-cut steps, and you'll find excellent snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, and sunning in your own private lagoon. Secluded pink and white powdery beaches are just minutes away.

Bahama Sunset is conveniently located just one mile south of Gregory Town, one of the most charming towns on the island of Eleuthera. You can't beat the view or the amazing sunsets over the water.

Eleuthera (north) is approximately 225 miles from Miami / Ft. Lauderdale. The island is reported to be 100 miles long. More fascinating is the average width of the island which ranges anywhere from one half to two miles... you are never far from the beach. The 'narrowest place on Earth' is on Eleuthera at the famed Glass Window Bridge where the distance from one side of the island to the other is less than 100 feet. One of the biggest export crops is the pineapple. Gregory Town hosts a Pineapple Festival every year on the first weekend of June. This four day event features local culture, food, pineapples of course, and a Junkanoo party. Eleuthera is known to have some of the best dive sites in the world; most famous for 'Current Cut'. Known as a 'fast drift dive', the fast current moves between the rock walls of Eleuthera and Current Island.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Gregory Town, Bahamas

Gregory Town: Gregory Town is a bicycle ride from Bahama Sunset and has several renowned establishments, including the Thompson Sisters Bakery, Pam's Islandmade Gift Shop and Elvina's, a bar where surfers hang out after surviving the world-class waves that blast the Atlantic side of Eleuthera. Eleuthera is not known for gambling, shopping or amusement parks. What it is known for is its natural beauty and serenity. Anyone who has been there will attest to that. If you like the color of a turquoise blue ocean, pink sands, shock blue skies, warm weather and cool breezes, Eleuthera Island is the place for you.

Fishing: There's bone fishing on Eleuthera Island. Miles upon miles of wadeable flats are there as well as fishable surf where one can catch snapper, jacks and barracuda. While there are many popular areas to go for bonefish, there are that many more than get very little pressure. It pays to talk to the locals who fish every day.

Caving: Other points of interest include the cave at Hatchet Bay. Located in the countryside of Eleuthera, this beautifully vaulted, mile long, three level cave is made of limestone and populated with graffiti, bats, and a water room. Explorers used the tar weeping from the rocks to write on the walls. Beautiful stalagmites and stalactites can be seen throughout the cave. This cave was purported to have been used by pirates to hide their treasures.

Another famous Eleutherian cave is Preacher's Cave. This is where Captain Sayles and his fellow travelers made camp and held their religious services. There is a stone plaque at the entrance of the cave which says 'William Sayle ship wrecked at Devil's Backbone found refuge here. Sermons held 100 years.'

A GREAT escape for anyone who enjoys the natural beauty of the Bahamas. The location alone is worth everything! The local people will treat you like family unpretentious and genuine. the lagoon is full of surprises. The sunsets are unforgetable. The beaches are a dream. The house is all you need to relax and renew your spirits. Great work Scott and Wendy and phillip! This has been a highlight of our familys travels!! p.s get fresh fish from the local fishermen it's the BEST!

We madei it !

Review Submitted: March 3, 2012 Date of Stay: November 2011
we finally made it back home. It was not easy to get to Bahama Sunset and
> back. On the way to Eleuthera, Bahamasair canceled our flight from Nassau,
> so we arrived one day later than we’ve planned. Then the glass-window
> bridge was closed because of bad weather and high sea, so we had to fly with
> pineapple air from North Eluthera to Governor’s Harbour to take a taxi
> from there. On our way back we had even more problems (don’t ever fly with
> Air Europa!). Our connecting flight in Madrid was cancelled, so we had to
> stay an extra night there and as add-on they’ve lost our checked bags there

> But Bahama Sunset was worth all of it! We had a wonderful time on

> We informed Phillip about our later arrival and he waited for us, when we

Review Submitted: March 3, 2012 Date of Stay: February 2012
We just returned from a week at Bahama Sunset. If you are looking for complete relaxation and a quiet place, this is the perfect place for you. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, especially the deck. We watched sting rays, sharks, dolphins, turtles and other fish swim by and hopped in to snorkel with them. It was amazing! We found good restaurants nearby (Rainbow Inn was our favorite) or we cooked in. The people of Eleuthera are very friendly.
It was unlike any place we have ever visited and we have traveled the world! I am active duty military and Suzy is retired, so we have spent a lot of time on the water and in sea ports. This place is really different. I can see where it might not be for everyone. You definitely have to be prepared to slow down and reconnect with each other and nature. That's what we did and it was just what the doctor ordered!

Thanks again. We hope to visit your place again.

Scott We absolutely loved your home on Eleuthra. The pictures can’t capture the beauty of the waters , the house and the sunsets. We were sad to leave but will truly think about coming back. Phillip was helpful and looks after the property well. I would really recommend to any other guests to rent your SUV. We explored the island from Preacher’s cave in the north to Lighthouse beach in the south and everywhere in between. I want to pass on a couple pictures we took and feel free to add them to your album on-line. Once again thank you for sharing your home we will not forget this trip.
