Further details for this vacation estate rental in Double Bay, Bahamas

About the Grand Estate of Villa de Palmas: The Estate of Villa de Palmas has been family owned since its inception. After 3 years of searching, the right piece of beach front property was purchased in 1989. The estate took 8 years to develop with a vision for grandness 'island style' and now we can share the wealth of the land and water that has been blessed with such beauty and serenity. Today after 12 years Villa de Palmas continues that vision. Just a few welcoming steps up from the entrance will afford an enlightening rejuvenation of what island life should be, totally carefree. The cottage expands this beautiful estate and stands above the vegetation including a unique view of the ocean with gentle breezes through the full loggia front. Take in an afternoon tea, enjoy a spectacular view of the sea, feel the ocean breezes and smell the villa’s flora, fauna and unspoiled vegetation. Villa de Palmas is in a class of its own catering to the high end client.

More about the Grand Estate of Villa de Palmas: The villa’s crown jewel is just a short walk down a sand pathway lined with sea lilies and palms to the secluded powdery and pearlescent pink-sand beach. With its crescent shape stretching 3 miles and an abundance of natural sand dunes with sea oat grass, sea grapes and coconut palms, you will be immersed in its tranquility. Stroll along the shore at waters edge and you will soon discover the hidden coves welcoming you to take a dip in the warm crystal clear turquoise water. On your way back, pause at the beach’s entrance under a 16 foot palm thatched-roof tiki pavilion. Four whimsical and colorful designer chairs invite you to take a siesta after your beach walk - the perfect venue for gazing at the sea while you listen to the songs of the wind through the casuarinas. Tune in or tune out this is a perfect setting for mindless relaxation. You may be there all day, it truly is paradise.

The Renewal

Bob and Patricia Delaware
Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My husband and I have visited the Island of Eleuthera since we were married there in 1982. We have had the privilege of staying at Villa de Palma for the last nine years, and look forward to our continued visits to this tranquil retreat. We reluctantly write this review as we know others will experience the beauty of this island home. It offers expansive views, private seclusion, warm breezes from all areas in a highly maintained home. The interior of this home provides a gourmet well equipped kitchen, comfortable interiors with island flair.Bruce has always provided the utmost hospitality and customer service to ensure the quality of our stays in their lovely villa. He provides a review of local fare, restaurants, shopping with guidance and reviews from his guests as well as their own experiences. We enjoy morning coffee on the veranda watching the sunrise, sunsets under the pergola, and the daily comforts of the sea. Our daily walks on the beach, swimming in beautiful waters, and reading under the tiki hut and ending the day watching the stars up above. This offers a renewal of life and love, and we highly recommend the Villa de Palmas for a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation home. Just don't book the weeks we want!
