The space
PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION so you understand exactly what you are renting. We break everything down by section so it is easy to read and understand.
WHO WE ARE AS HOSTS;
We have been Airbnb Superhosts since 2016 so you can book with confidence. We have many thousands of reviews online for our 20+ properties in multiple locations and countries. Our average review rating for all properties is 4.9 stars average out of 5.0 stars.
PERKS YOU ONLY GET WITH US;
When booking with us our guests, (and only our guests), receive discounts on the swimming pigs, adventure tours, fishing charters and snorkel trips. You will also get a special discount when using our car rental guy. We also have an incredible and extensive Trip Planner Document that provides each guest awesome tips on everything from; where to eat and drink, the best beaches, blue holes, cave systems, and all the best stuff to do all over the island. Most guests find that document to be invaluable for a great trip. Lastly, we offer our guests free usage of a kayak, a SUP, snorkel masks and beach chairs FREE with your stay.
COTTAGE LOCATION;
The cottage is in a great location just a few minutes from the capital of Governor's Harbor and at the mid point of the island for exploring everything to the north and south. There are many world class beaches, bars and restaurants within minutes of the cottage. Surfing is a short drive in Gregory Town. The shoreline along the cottage is rocky and provides for excellent fishing and snorkeling.
COTTAGE DESCRIPTION;
It is a studio style tropical themed air conditioned cottage with a small, but nice grassy yard with woods at the front and back. It is a local Bahamian road with about 5 other homes and the people are super friendly. The owner of the cottage owns all the homes on the street and oceanfront deck which is yours to use. Note the cottage itself is about a one minute walk to the ocean shoreline. You have a deck down at the oceanfront which is great for swimming, snorkeling or fishing. The unit is bright and airy with fun Caribbean colors and lots of windows to let the natural outside light come into the interior. The interior is cute as a button with hardwood floors and fun tropical decor. It has free Wi-Fi with a strong signal for your laptop or cell phone. There is a nice 40" flat screen TV with a Fire stick for streaming. The king size bed is very comfy with high quality mattress. It is really geared towards 2 people, but we offer the option of a couple with a small child age 12 and under. Just understand you will all be sleeping in the same bed. We do not allow 3 adults. There is a small, but functional galley style full kitchen. There is a two burner cook top, microwave, nice full size toaster oven for baking, mini fridge, kitchen sink and drip coffee maker. The kitchen is stocked for full cooking at home. There is a small and cute seating area in the corner of the master bedroom to enjoy meals. There is a semi-covered deck off the front of the cottage with a small table and two chairs for al-fresco outside dining. Bathroom has a custom tile walk in shower. Charcoal grill provided. We provide roughly 100 photos with captions so you can really visualize the rental property.
RATES AND FEES;
The only fee we charge our guests is a low cleaning fee which is displayed when you book your stay. Keep in mind there are booking fees charged by Airbnb which they keep. There are no sales taxes charged in Eleuthera like other places. We charge a low nightly rate and offer a 10% discount for stays of 7 nights or longer and a 20% discount for stays of 30 days or longer.
SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY;
Unlike the 95% of rental properties that are owned by foreigners, this property is owned by the Rolle family who are local Bahamians. So the funds you are spending goes right back into the local economy versus being wired to some foreign bank account which we think is pretty darn awesome.
PETS AND SUPPORT ANIMALS:
Please note we do not accept any pets, emotional, support or therapy animals due to extreme allergies/health related issues in our family.
ELEUTHERA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE;
If Miami Beach or Vegas is your thing we respectfully suggest you pick a different destination. Eleuthera is a sleepy island with some flaws; bad roads, dated infrastructure, there can be power / water / internet outages and the occasional gecko on the wall. The trade off is going back in time 75 years to an unspoiled gorgeous island where you will explore the most stunning beaches you have ever seen and have them usually all to yourself. The seafood is fantastically good. The people are warm and genuine, crime is very low and the vibe is super chill. We love it and so do 95% of our guests.

From the host
Nice, safe and local Bahamian neighborhood. No crime, firendly locals on a private road with 5 houses. Not a tourist trap.

My work: Airbnb Super Host
Most useless skill: I can grow an avocado seed into a tree.
I am from Caracas, Venezuela. I moved to the USA in 2008 when my country began to collapse. I miss my homeland and those memories, but I am a very proud USA citizen now and married to Tommy, my wonderful husband and have 3 beautiful kids. We love the beach, the mountains, adventure, anything outdoors and especially traveling to experience new places and people. We hope our many rental offerings provide everlasting memories to you and your family.
