Photos and Description of the Governor's Harbour vacation house rental Beautiful 3 BR Home 50 feet from Spectacular Private Beach

Casuarina Bay is an exceptionally beautiful, secluded hideaway on the island of Eleuthera, in the Bahamas. Just two lovely houses share this very private bay on the Atlantic, skirted by miles of pink sand beaches. Easily accessible, Casuarina Bay is just 1 hour by air from Miami, and only seven miles from Governors Harbour airport. It's located 1.5 miles northeast of the lovely village of Governors Harbour, one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas. The house affords a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean from every room, amidst a picturesque grove of coconut palms, colorful hibiscus, fragrant frangipani flowers, sea grape and Casuarina trees. Ocean-lovers will find some of the best snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming in the world. Underwater visibility is up to 100 feet, with water temperatures ranging between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

The adventurous traveler can explore nearby islands and virgin coral reefs, swim with dolphins or exotic tropical fish, or charter boats for world-class bone or deep-sea fishing. Other sports available on the island include golf, tennis and surfing. The rustic Beachfront House was designed and built to savor the incredible natural unspoiled beauty of Eleuthera. It's only 20 yards from its own pink-sand beach, so wherever you are in the house you have breathtaking views in all directions. To the east you see the turquoise ocean and glistening beach. Looking to the west your eyes rest on untouched green hills and colorful Caribbean sunsets. At night the brilliance of the stars and moon are unforgettable.

Casuarina Bay offers a true glimpse of the "real" Bahamas. A perfect setting for our family get away. There is a television, but it was refreshing to see my 3 boys opting to be OUTSIDE (day and evenings) on the perfect beach doing what kids don't do enough of these days. It's always difficult to pull ourselves away from Eleuthera.

Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We just returned from our third visit (15 days) at Casuarina Bay; the weather was warm with south-easterlies so there was lots of great surf sounds, swimming and simple beach-time. The house is beautiful in its yellow and white attire; a true Bahamian beach-house, with comfortable deck furniture appropriately matching the house; and, as before, nothing tops having a shower at the cabana before walking the 63 steps to the porch for a pina colada. We were able to buy a lot of fish at the dock in Governor’s Harbour so we had some excellent grouper, conch, crayfish and snapper dinners on the porch. Governor’s Harbour also continues to have its Friday Night Fish Fry – a great informal time for eating, drinking rum bubbas and dancing. We also thoroughly enjoyed the new Beachhouse restaurant, which has great views, fair prices, welcoming staff and interesting/ tasty tapas. We dined there four times; including one evening when we walked home, wading along in the warm breeze under a full moon. Casuarina Bay is truly one of the earth's most magic places! Thanks from all six of us; it was totally delightful.

This was my first time back in a few years and all I can say is "WOW". The natural beauty of Casuarina Bay never ceases to take my breath away, but it was really nice to see how the houses have been kept up so well. Each house has a new, beautifully "Caribbean" paint job. The colors compliment the sand, sea, and the gorgeous hibiscus and various flowers. I love the new signs!
As always we loved eating our lunches under the Cabana on the beach. It's a great way to please the whole family because there's shade and sun and you don't have to eat in the sand...but you're 15 steps from the crystal clear water! I will always remember fondly hunting for Mangoes, kayaking, and the bonfires on the beach. It's the only place I've been on vacation where you basically have a private beach. The beach at Casuarina Bay is so quiet and secluded, it's hard not to feel like a V.I.P. This place is truly magical and it's so great to see that it is constantly being nourished. Each time I think it can't get better...then I come back and they've improved upon what I thought was already perfection. I look forward to coming back again and again! Thanks for an unforgettable vacation!!
