Gregory Town, Central Eleuthera
This cozy 1 bed, 1 bath bungalow provides the perfect retreat while located just a mile south of Gregory Town's center. Fall asleep to sounds of the ocean, and wake up to beautiful Caribbean views without even getting out of bed.
There is a loft space above the queen size bed for storing luggage or whatever else you might like to tuck away. The walkthrough bathroom leads into a small kitchen fully equipped with everything you'll need to prepare your own meals. Exit through the kitchen to find an enclosed outdoor, hot water shower. The back entrance provides the perfect solution for rinsing off the salt and sand before coming in from a day at the beach.
Our bungalow is fully powered by solar energy, so when it comes to electricity, we are completely off-the-grid. The property is connected to city water, but for those days when the city water may go out, we'll always have a full water tank on reserve for our guests.
While the bungalow does not have air conditioning, there is a central ceiling fan and oscillating wall fans above the bed and in the kitchen. Screened-in, slatted windows at both ends of the bungalow's rooftop provide a great cross-breeze, and both front and back doors have screen options as well.
Our property consists of just under 5 acres of land stretching from The Queen's Highway to the cliffs overlooking the beautiful turquoise waters of Exuma Sound. While bush, cactus, palmettos, and rocks line most of the cliff's edge, there is no actual fence or wall. There is an 80 foot straight drop from the cliff to the ocean below. For this reason, children under 18 will not be permitted on the property. All renters must be at least 25 years of age. Because of our clifftop location, there is no direct access to the water from our property. The famous Surfer's Beach is the closet beach to the bungalow located just under 2 miles to our south.
We (Robert & Molly) do live on the property. Our A-frame bungalow is just next door to the rental. We currently do not rent out our house. If Robert and I are on-island during your stay, please rest assured that we are very respectful of our guests' privacy.
As you drive down our long, private driveway, you will see various projects underway. While finishing up our house, we are also working on cultivating an organic garden, small pineapple field and fruit tree grove. You may see some gardening and building; however, no loud construction will take place while guests are on the property. Your peaceful stay is our highest priority.
What a cozy A-frame this is - just right for two people. It contained everything we needed, except a microwave would have been nice. Other than that, the kitchen was fully equipped with a great selection of spices, oil and condiments, pots, pans and dishes. They provided plenty of drinking water and there was even suntan lotion, bug spray, beach towels, etc. They were thorough and thoughtful in what they provided for us to use. Molly and Robert were easy with which to communicate. We really enjoyed our stay!
The owners were great, and respected privacy. The cottage was well furnished and looked great. The view was spectacular; we saw sea turtles and sting rays from the outdoor patio on the cliff. Definitely would recommend to others and wild stay again!
The house was exactly as described. Everything about it was so thoughtfully planned out. It is beautifully decorated, and included everything you need for an island getaway… beach chairs, towels and an umbrella. A beach bag and soft cooler. Guide books on the beaches, birds and flowers. Headlamps. Games… you name it, they thought of it! The kitchen was also very well equipped. The outdoor shower was great. I can’t say enough about how fantastic it was! Absolutely perfect for two people. Molly was extremely responsive, and helpful with all of our questions. We can’t wait to come back!
We had a fantastic time staying at the Clifftop Bungalow. Molly and Robert were excellent hosts. They have spoiled us for future VRBO stays! This beautiful and sustainably focused property including the above water deck was amazing! The bungalow was beautiful, comfortable, clean and stylish. The kitchen was incredibly thoughtfully stocked. We so appreciated having beach hang supplies. Morning coffee on the deck watching sea turtles and evening sunsets were the best! As other guests have mentioned, it's easy not to want to leave the property. AND there is so much incredible exploring to be done! We are absolutely wanting to stay here again! Thank you to Molly and Robert!
The reviews are right. This property is just magical. The owners have put such thoughtful touches throughout and you just feel immediately comfortable. Everything you need is there. The home and the view are exactly as pictured and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. If you need a true retreat, this is your spot.
Impeccably designed, the cabin was perfect for our mini getaway. Communication was also always 100%. Great place and would and hope to come back again soon. Highly recommended.
For a couple looking for a private, simple, restful holiday in a stunningly beautiful location, at a very reasonable price, this is perfect. We ate breakfast every morning in the sun on the little platform on the edge of the cliff, watching the turtles periodically surfacing below. Taking a shower in the outdoor shower, with the sun streaming through the open roof, or while watching the stars (no light pollution here!), was exhilarating. You do need a car to make the most of this place, as there are so many fantastic beaches to explore. In particular, Ben Bay, which is a little tricky to find, is the nicest, most intimate beach I've ever been to, and there were only two other people there. But Gregory Town is very close and we ran there a couple of mornings. It is very quaint and relaxed with friendly locals. It has a pretty harbour and a post office and an excellent souvenir shop of Bahamian made gifts and crafts. And Monica's Dis and Dat, which is famous for pineapple tarts (only $1.35 each). If I stayed longer and had a nice calm day I would look into renting a kayak in Gregory Town and paddling back to the rocks below Molly's place to watch the turtles close up. We had a great meal at the Cove Resort a short drive away, and a truly stellar meal at Sip Sip on Harbour Island. Molly was wonderful to deal with. I'll stop at that but I can't say enough about Eleuthera and this place!
Molly and Roberts compound is just great. Views from the decks were top notch. The guest house was very well equipped. The outdoor shower worked well and we loved taking that shower at night staring up so the moon and the stars. I must commend the motion detection site lighting and the expert sheet rocking done in the guest house. Really a lovely compound. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars to location was due to the relative distances to central and southern island attractions.
The bungalow was amazing! The A-frame is situated right on the cliffs of the Grand Bahama Bank, so offers spectacular views of the ocean all day long (including sea turtles in the mornings!!). The house is very cute, with a living space, bed alcove, small bath, and kitchen. The shower is outdoors and has an open roof, which makes for great star viewing when taking a nighttime shower! The place is run on solar power, too. Robert and Molly are excellent hosts - good communication and directions, great local tips, and good amenities provided. The location is very close to Gregory Town. If you're in Eleuthera for surfing, its an excellent location (very close to Surfer's Beach). We stuck to mostly Northern Eleuthera locations during our stay, which made the bungalow perfect for us. But the drive to the southern end of the island was only about 2.5 hours, so doable for a day trip. We loved this place and will definitely look for it again when we return to Bahamas!!
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The bungalow was perfect for us and Molly could not have been nicer! Great location if you don’t like being in a resort setting. Right outside Gregory Town and great beaches nearby. Exactly the getaway we were looking for! Will definitely be staying here/renting from Robert and Molly again!
