Seaglass Cottage - Eleuthera, Bahamas in Bahamas

If you are an Eleuthera adventurer, the kind of person who wants to rent a real beach house at a very reasonable rate, you love being able to feel breeze, hear the surf, soak up a sunrise, and are a traveler who is looking for comfort instead of fancy, you have found the right house! Located in a beautifully remote area, the beach is just a stone's throw away (200 steps to be exact). The house is furnished with guests' comfort in mind. There are plenty of reading lamps, comfortable hand-made furniture, and additional 'niceties'throughout the house. There is one bedroom (king size bed; the house sleeps two), a full bath, living room/kitchen, a  patio on the east side, and a large deck on the west side. Completely remodeled in 2004,  the walls are cypress and the flooring is beautiful Brazilian walnut. The high ceilings, exposed beams, and glass at both eaves gives the house an airy tropical feeling. You can see the stars while you lie in the bed at night! There is a fabulous rope hammock on the west deck and a barbecue pit on the east side patio. You will also find a sturdy outdoor dining table and four adirondack chairs on the decks.

If you are a wave watcher, you will enjoy looking into the curl of the waves while you prepare meals or relax in the living room. You may find yourself spending a lot of time on the living room sofa gazing at the amazing ocean! Surfing in Eleuthera is awesome. Surfer's Beach and Hatchet Bay are within easy driving distance.

There are four other beaches within 1.5 miles of the house. If you enjoy collecting shells or seaglass, you're in the right place. When the Atlantic is calm, the swimming and snorkeling is perfect at Hidden Cove Beach. In fact, we haven't found a better place yet for snorkeling than the one closest to the house! If you like tennis, there are tennis courts beside Rainbow Inn which you can enjoy.  If one ocean is rough, just hop over to the other side.  Because the island is so skinny in this part of the island, it's a five minute drive from one side of the island to the other.

To help keep our island home in good shape, our gardener lives on the property in separate accommodations (with his own private entrance).  Described by one guest as 'having a 1,000 watt smile, he is employed by many of the homeowners in Rainbow Bay.  Completely unobtrustive, he is there should you have a problem or need help with something.  Our caretaker, a delightful lady, lives in Palmetto Point and is just a phone call away.

The best thing about the Seaglass Cottage is hearing the surf, feeling the cool breeze, seeing a gorgeous sunset off the west deck, and knowing that you're miles and miles away from 'reality'. You do not have to spend a fortune to do this! We enjoy going to the beach and want our house to have the feel of an authentic beach house as opposed to a house that could be located just about anywhere and filled with trendy stuff! There are plenty of windows in the house (the screens are new) and the seabreeze, almost always blowing through the house, is delightful! Also, if you like art, the house is filled with tropical creations crafted from treasures found on the beach. Should you need assistance during your visit, our gardener and caretaker will be available to help you.
