About this property

Paradise is Not an Illusion 🏝️

Bahama Sunset is a beautiful island home set on rugged cliffs overlooking the quiet Caribbean Ocean!

Guests at Bahama Sunset have a view of the crystalline blue-green waters from every window, and each night can watch stunning sunsets glide into the ocean from the wrap-around deck that hangs over the cliffs. You'll find excellent snorkeling and diving a one minute walk down the stone cut steps that bring you to your own private lagoon.

The marine life in our 'lagoon' includes colorful parrot fish, balloon fish, moray eel, grouper, lobster, crab, needle fish, red fans, sea snails, many varieties of coral and all kinds of other beautiful sea life. Eleuthera is a quiet, rural island and the nearby village, Gregory Town, is a sleepy harbor town full of friendly Bahamian natives. The night life at Bahama Sunset includes an orchestra of crickets and the dance of the ocean in the lagoon.

Bahama Sunset is the perfect place to get away with that special someone and spend lots of quality alone time. This house was built for 2 with love, however there is a full size futon bed in the great room for additional guests. Many of the guests that visit Bahama Sunset, go to celebrate their engagements, honeymoons or anniversaries. Eleuthera is a quiet island, comprised of local farmers and fisherman. Everything is really laid back and it is not your typical tourist destination, you wont find any crowded beaches, as a matter of fact, you will probably be the only people at most of the islands beaches. There are dozens of beautiful sandy, secluded beaches scattered all over the island, many less than a mile away. The house is located just south of Gregory Town (less than a mile). You can fly into either of Eleuthera's 2 airports (ELH or GHB) from MIA, FLL or NAS. The house does not have internet, nor does it have a phone but cellular service is available with data. There are places on the island where you can check your emails by Wi-Fi if this is necessary. There are several restaurants nearby and there are stores in Gregory Town . Our Caretaker Phillip can help you arrange surfboard, charters, fishing guides, bike and kayak rentals Keep in mind, you will not be able to explore many of the islands beaches without a car. The ocean is accessed by a set of stairs and a small ladder (due to tides), there is great fishing and diving/snorkeling, swimming right below the house. I assure you “Paradise is not an Illusion”

“Eleuthera is ranked and reviewed as “Sexiest Beach Escapes” by Bing Travel, high on the list of “25 Sexiest Beaches in the World” by Forbes Traveler, and awarded the “Best Secret Island On Earth” by Travel and Leisure”.

Peace & plenty of wildlife
Easy & quick communication with both owner & caretaker - Phillip can arrange wifi quickly. Definitely rent the car but make sure to spend enough time here, sealife is amazing & you feel very honoured to be able to view so easily even out of the water. Spacious & comfortable, aircon great & not too noisy.

Simply Amazing
We had such a wonderful time at this property for our 30th anniversary. It's a cozy cabin with enough room to be comfortable and the amenities we needed to do a lot of our own meal prep. We visited several beaches while on Eleuthera, and none even came close to offering the property's view and snorkeling opportunities. In the lagoon, we saw several reef fish, including needlefish, barracuda, porcupine fish, grouper, spiny lobster, stingray, and more. The location is a favorite for several sea turtles as well. The steps to the water are steep, and the ladder into the lagoon requires a bit of upper-body strength and courage to navigate, but we did alright (in our 50s). If you like seclusion, peace, and amazing views this property has it! We also liked the central island location, not too far from areas like Gregory Town or Governor's Harbor for shopping and dining out.

Quiet private vacation for 2
Very quiet and very private cabin-like home perfect for 2. Lovely deck overlooking the beautiful turquoise water. We didn’t swim as the wave were very rough during our stay-but with beaches all over the place, that was ok.

Was it a dream?
After returning home, the stay in Gregory Town seems like a dream. A dream filled with smiles, adventures, relaxation and the sounds of the Sea lapping against the rock below the house. Such a wonderful hiatus from the real world.
