Casuarina Bay is an exceptionally beautiful, secluded hideaway on the island of Eleuthera, in the Bahamas. The beach in front of the house is very private and is skirted by miles of pink sand beaches.
The house has a view of the Atlantic Ocean, amidst a picturesque grove of coconut palms, hibiscus, fragrant frangipani flowers, sea grape and Casuarina trees.
This beachfront vacation cottage is built of cedar in an open hexagonal design, with a high ceiling and a sleeping loft, ideal for children. Eight arching windows provide magnificent views, and open onto a wrap-around deck. There is a BBQ area overlooking the ocean and a new thatched cabana on the beach with a freshwater shower. House has A/C and wireless Internet.
Perfect for a honeymooning couple or a small family, the Round House comes charmingly furnished, and has been described as "the hidden treasure of Eleuthera".
Easily accessible, Casuarina Bay is just one hour by air from Miami, and only seven miles from Governors Harbour airport. It is located 1.5 miles northeast of the quaint village of Governors Harbour, one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas.

Vacationer Feedback
We had a wonderful time at the Round House. It is unique in it's style and construction, the location is spectacular, and it is charmingly appointed. It is not conventional in the hotel/condo sense, and the road to the house is a bit of an adventure (the first time). But these aspects give it exactly what we were looking for...privacy and relaxation. It is difficult to describe the house itself...but easier to describe the feeling you get upon arrival. It's serene, almost blissful. Within hours, we were right at home, and already exploring the surrounding beaches, Kaliks in hand. It's proximity to French Leave Beach (the old Club Med), and Twin Cove could make it one of the best located rentals on the ocean side of the island, and possibly the entire island. It also has the benefit of being close to GH, Tippy's, the Beach House and Coco di Mama. All in all, it was a wonderful experience for my wife and I, we were able to explore most (but definitely not all) of the island during the five days we were there, and having the Round House as place to relax and unwind was just incredible. If you want privacy, a wonderful location, the Round House is your place!

My husband and I had a lovely time at the Round House. It was by far the most relaxing vacation we have ever experienced. The island life is much slower than anwhere else we have been and it was much appreciated and needed. The people of the island were welcoming and nice and we loved the traditional bahamian food at the Sunset Inn and the Fish Fry. The island itself is a bit pricey, but when you see the views you can understand why to some degree. The beach at casaurina bay was by far the nicest we had experienced. The water was like crystal, the reefs spectacular, and the fishing amazing. We ate fresh grouper and snapper several nights throughout the week we stayed from teh fish my husband caught right off the the beach. The kayaks ans snorkeling were a highlight. Definitely a little piece of heaven if there is such a thing!

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a trip to the Bahamas – we were looking for a quiet beach location without anyone else around. The Round House and Eleuthera were EXACTLY that. We didn't rent a car, as the grocery/liquor stores were about 1.5 miles away. Most of the days during our week stay were spent walking the beaches in front of the Round House – Casuarina Bay, Twin Coves and the French Leave beach. We brought fishing rods and snorkel gear and had a blast. We ate almost all our meals at the house, with a few visits to the Beach House and snacks on our walking trips into GH for groceries. The kayaks were really fun and we enjoyed some of the old VHS movies in the evening when we were too tired to walk anymore. So happy to have found the Round House and we plan to visit again when our kids are a bit older. Thank you for sharing your home!
