vacation rental description

Casuarina Bay is an exceptionally beautiful, secluded hideaway on
the island of Eleuthera, in the Bahamas. Just two lovely houses
share a private beach on the Atlantic, skirted by miles of stunning
pink sand beaches.

The house affords a spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean from
every room, amidst a picturesque grove of coconut palms, colorful
hibiscus, fragrant frangipani flowers, sea grape and Casuarina
trees. The stars at night and the moonrise out of the ocean are
strikingly beautiful on this remote island paradise.

This unique beachfront vacation cottage is built of cedar in an open
hexagonal design. Eight arching windows provide magnificent views,
and open onto a wrap-around deck with a private hot tub. The house
has high ceilings and is charmingly decorated with Caribbean style
furnishings and art. Perfect for a honeymooning couple or a small
family, the Round House has a queen bed and a sleeping loft which is
ideal for children.

cottage rental amenities

The house is built on a 14 acre estate stretching across to the
ocean on other side of the island. The house is surrounded with lush
plants and fragrant tropical flowers. You will be able to hear the
gentle waves on the beach just 20 yards away and awake to the
whisper of the breeze rustling through the coconut trees. You can
relax on the 360 degree deck, private beach or in the thatched
cabana, where there is a freshwater shower. There is a BBQ area over
looking the water and outdoor dinning areas on the deck, in the
garden and on the beach

Easily accessible, Casuarina Bay is just 1 hour by air from Miami or
Fort Lauderdale, and only seven miles from Governors Harbour
airport. It's located 1.5 miles northeast of the quaint village of
Governors Harbour, one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas.

traveler reviews for this bahamas cottage rental

David and Beth from Vermont

David and Beth from Vermont (United States)
Review submitted: February 28, 2012   Date of arrival: February 1, 2012

This was a fantastic vacation, our ideal spot is a secluded beachhouse on a very private beach, nearby restaurants, we were able to cook in if we wished, which we did often! The people we met in Eleuthera were very friendly and welcoming. We always felt safe, and made many new friends just walking the beaches! We really enjoyed meeting out Caretaker Bruce, and Doon the owner of the property was staying while we were there and had a great time getting to know her. If you are looking for a wild night life, casino's and shopping, go elsewhere, but if you want to relax, than the roundhouse is the place for you!

Fourth time back to the Round House in Eleuthera

Sonya S. (Edmonton, Alberta)
Review submitted: November 23, 2011   Date of arrival: October 29, 2011

Once again, as this will have been our 4th time back to the Round House in Eleuthera , it has exceeded our expecations.

Hurricane Irene attempted to slow down Doon ( the owner) however both new beach cabinas were completed upon our arrival! We spend two glorious weeks walking the endless beaches with Kaya ( the owner's every faithfull dog) to finding incrediable beach treasures...to our wonderment we had a Message in a bottle wash up on shore ( messages 4 years old) ...swimming /snorkeling every day in the remarkable waters directly infront of the House . Cooking up fantastic gourmet meals with all the fresh lobster/grouper/snapper we'd purchase from the fishing wharfs in GH or Tarpun Bay....dancing @ the Beach House...fasinating conversations with Doon. We love every aspect of this vacation paradise...would I classify it as 4 star resort...no as it has so much more appeal...we come here to get away from our fast paced lives ... to unplug ..and to reconnect with each other...we have never been disappointed.

Thank you Doon for your wonderful hospitality ...wish we would have had more time...and Taja thank you for your updates! Shall see you in 2012

Not quite what I expected

Richard, beach lover (USA Midwest)
Review submitted: November 2, 2011   Date of arrival: October 20, 2011

First, I have to say that I've become a bit of a travel snob. With that said, the house isn't quite up to what is shown in the pictures.

The house is not secluded, nor is it a private beach. While we were there, carpenters worked most every day on a new cabana, and Doon, the owner was staying next door as well. So, don't count on being "secluded". There was always someone around.

The house needed re-painting, and the windows didn't shut completely. In fact, there was no window on the bathroom, just a screen. The tiny bugs that are in the bahamas got right through that, and we couldn't escape lots of bug bits, even spraying Off on ourselves.

The washer and dryer are in the house next door, although we did get a key to the washroom.

We loved Eleuthera and the people. Everyone was incredibly nice to us. At first we were even a little shocked by how nice everyone was. It was fantastic. The food was great, especially Tippy's and The Bistro. If you need a sack lunch to take to the beach, try Pammy's Take-away in Governour's Harbor.

Doon (the owner) was very nice to us, and we saw her around town often, and she always made sure she answered all our questions, and offered suggestions.

Overall, we loved our trip, and will go back to Eleuthera, just not the Roundhouse.
