Gregory Town, Eleuthera
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”.

Bahama Sunset exceeded our expectations. From the deck, we watched everyday as the sea turtles swam by. At night, we watched the stars and the occasional satellite zip across the sky. It was truly a magical location and vacation. We will be back!
We enjoyed our stay near Gregory Town! Views were amazing. First time on Eleuthera and we will be back soon!
We celebrated our 30th here and it took our breath away daily! Fantastic snorkeling experiences right out the door and great adventures around Eleuthera! Many memories were made and will not be forgotten!
Beautiful place to stay. The swimming and snorkeling in the lagoon is amazing. Quiet and peaceful property. Rustic but charming. Inside not great for lounging on a rainy day but we spent most the time outside anyway! We will be back.
Great place to stay
We enjoyed this vacation a lot. Beautiful location, wonderful people and great food.
The most relaxing vacation ever. We enjoyed the very private and safe space. The lagoon was fun to snorkel in and watch fish and turtles swim. The sunsets were incredible from the deck and we enjoyed cooking local fish and conch on the outdoor grill. We hope to visit again!
What a perfect home & setting for a vacation :-)
This cabin was exactly as promised and we thoroughly enjoyed our adventure! Communication with Scott and Phillip was great and we had no problems at the property. Scott has done a good job of describing the property and what you need to bring with you. The cabin is very simple - if you're looking for luxury, go elsewhere. We loved the simplicity and quite frankly, spent almost all our time on the deck or in the water. If you're a snorkeler or diver, you will be enchanted by the cove and the sea life you can see there - turtles, all kinds of fish, squid, small jelly fish (non-stinging), a small shark, crabs, star fish - you name it, we saw it. And please, be respectful of the sea life! Absolutely amazing! Already working on a return trip.
So many great things to say about this place. Watch National Geographic from your back deck every evening as the sea life takes harbor in the rocks. House is clean and well kept. The owner is very detailed about what to bring. Stayed here once and booked again a year later, it’s simply unbelievable. Stairs are very steep, place is only good for 13 to 65 year old people due to the ability to get down the steps and back up. Don’t let that deter you from the most unbelievable view in your life!
We stayed at Bahamas Sunset in August and it truly was the best vacation we have ever had. Scott’s property is a dream… and is exactly as described. Phillip, the property manager was the nicest, most welcoming person to have as a contact in Eleuthera. He gave us fresh produce from his farm and answered all of our calls/texts. The rental car was exactly what we needed and allowed us to explore all of island. The property is something different, we explored end to end of Eleuthera and always came back to the house feeling like we found “home”. The mesmerizing water view from the deck is like nothing else… let alone snorkeling around and seeing all the underwater magic. The large rocks create an incredible barrier that allow you to snorkel comfortably even on windy days. The structure provides habitat for a variety of marine life and you will be amazed at all that you will see. Once you’ve seen it you’ll understand the saying of “paradise is not an illusion” and it will keep you coming back.
We loved it in Eleuthera. I had great communication with Scott. Scott also Had a vehicle for us to rent so that was one thing less to worry about. The water at this property was amazing. The house is secluded and private. Looking for an adventure - Eleuthera could be it.
Loved our stay! The view from the balcony was breathtaking at all times of the day. Saw sea turtles swimming right past the rocks. Since we were there in the off season we saw very few tourists. Most everywhere we went we were the only ones there! Make sure to carry cash since most places do not take cards. Make sure to have food bought before Sunday since most everything is closed.
My wife and I have been blessed to travel throughout the Caribbean, North America and even Europe. Bahama Sunset stands well above most every other experience. Scott Cahoy has thought of everything you'll need and extras. Landscaping, grounds keeping, amenities are top notch. Most amazing the access to your own private lagoon, for snorkeling or scuba. You will not see such amazing sunsets like those from your own private deck looking westward. The property is well off the highway, private and quietly hidden amongst the tropical foliage. Close proximity to Gregory Town to buy your essentials or eat out at local restaurants. Great cell signal. We stayed here before, and will continue to back - time and time again. One of the best VRBO values (luxury, amenities, views and costs) you will find, certainly in the Bahamas. Your stay will help you unplug from the frenetic pace of the world, quiet every voice within you and get re-centered with life.
We loved the house and location. Only kvetch might be that it is time to replace towels? Otherwise just what we were looking for...
Just like the title/name says, paradise is not an illusion. What a perfect little hideaway. A special thanks to Doris the turtle who came to swim with us :-)
Wow, what a gorgeous location for a wonderful get away! Water was amazing and the people we encountered on our travels all over the island were so warm and genuine! Great beaches! Scott is awesome with communication, and the rental of his vehicle is a must!. Thank you also to Phillip, such a kind man. Thank you !
My son and I stayed for 5 nights and we could not think of a more beautiful location with total privacy. The house has a very quaint, cottage feel with a deck that overlooks a small, private harbor created by the large rocks you will see in the property photos. Highly recommend for 2-3 people.
