About this property

Monticello- Desert Rose beachfront cottage, Tiki Hut & Backup Generator, 5% Off

Desert Rose is a cozy, secluded waterfront house on the 5-acre Monticello Estate. It is perched directly over one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island, famous for the unbelievable pink sand and turquoise water.

Enjoy fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The big beach Tiki Hut and the deck are a unique opportunity to enjoy paradise from really close.
Cool breezes, crystal waters, the Palmetto trees, and miles-long beaches are what you will experience staying at Monticello - Desert Rose is a two-bedroom, one-bath cottage. The main bedroom has a king bed, and an additional room has a twin bunk bed. All rooms have separate ceiling fans and air conditioners. The living room has a big sofa, a Satellite TV, a DVD Player, and a stereo. The house has a separate laundry room with a washing machine and dryer.

Splendid Isolation
We enjoyed our visit immensely. The property is off the beaten path, so to speak, yet still within 6 minutes drive of excellent dining. The beach and ocean view is world class.

2nd Honeymoon Stay
Desert Rose was terrific from start to finish. The cozy house sits atop a beautifully turquois piece of the Atlantic ocean. Perfect for what we wanted...to simply relax and be in the surroundings of a largely untrafficed island. Given the central location of the property on Eluthera we traveled the island from top to bottom and enjoyed all of our adventuring and dining. Dont hesitate to book this sweet spot for a romantic, private getaway! Wed love to return. Thank you!

Paradise
This is our first time renting a house right on the beach after visiting Eleuthera every year since 2013. Desert Rose was perfect. Even though we ate out every night, it has every imaginable item you need for cooking and grilling at home. The beach was perfect ~ so breathtaking. The photos don't do it justice. This is the first year we never ventured out to any of the other beaches for snorkeling. We used to go to Ten Bay or Gaulding Cay for a snorkel. Not this year. Even on the windy days, we stayed right on our beach and boogie boarded or body surfed like two kids, or simply just went for our walks up and down the beautiful stretch of beach. We hardly saw anyone else during our two-week stay. Barbara was great. She answered all my silly questions when I had asked about the reefs in front. I did muster up enough courage to snorkel them. Mrs. Williams was great as well. We didn't need to reach out to her after our initial meeting. I do suggest trying Unique Village for dinner. It's off the beaten path further south and you need GPS for directions, but the food that Chef Chris prepares is delicious. Buccaneer is also one of our favorites. Potlatch opened up while we were there but never got the chance to try it. I can't wait to come back next year!

Host profile image
We are a family of four living in the United States.
Our passion for the Island of Eleuthera started in 2003 when we first went on vacation. We went back the year after as we loved those pink sand beaches and the friendly local people.
We purchased our first home in 2005. We now own the Desert Rose House ( VRBO/ 315311), the Garden of Light Villa ( VRBO/298738) on the Atlantic coastal side, and the Blue Bahia villa on the Caribbean side of Eleuthera.
We believe we have been lucky to find this paradise and decided to share our homes with guests. So come experience the best VRBO Eleuthera the Bahamas has to offer.
