Located right on the Atlantic, this cottage is comfortable, airy, and homey. Featuring one large master bedroom, a full size kitchen, living room with dining area, full bath and outside shower, a porch and two decks this is a wonderful place for a tropical vacation. Used as rental property since 2001, many people have enjoyed Seaglass Cottage. The house is 200 or so steps from Hidden Beach. Owned by two artists, Seaglass Cottage is full of art with handmade furniture, water color paintings, and lots of creations made from findings on the beach. The atmosphere is just right for an authentic beach house. Here you will find plenty of reading lamps, a king size bed, a full stocked kitchen with everything imaginable needed for cooking, and a full size bathroom with tub. If you prefer, shower outside in the outdoor shower with a lovely palm frond overhead. Swimming and fishing is excellent. There are several beaches in the neighborhood. Because each side of the island is different, if the water on one side of the island is too wavy, just swim on the other. Rainbow Beach, located on the Caribbean side is about a two minute drive from the house. During summer months swimming is excellent in the Atlantic Ocean and there is no finer swimming spot than Hidden Beach. The beach has pink sand and beautiful seashells which you can collect. There is also seaglass. Eleuthera has many good restaurants and take-aways. Rainbow Inn, only five minutes from the house, has a variety of offerings and live music. Pizza night (Monday and Thursdays) is a popular event. If you prefer to cook at home, there is a wonderful view of the water from the kitchen island. Enjoy the view while you prepare meals. You can buy fresh fish from the dock in James Cistern, about ten minutes from the house. Our caretaker, Merci, lives in Palmetto Point, about 30 minutes from the house and is just a phone call away. All linens are provided. The house is self-catering. Please bring your own dishwashing soap, handi-wrap, food items, coffee filters, etc. One roll of toilet paper is provided. Please take a look at our website for detailed information about what you will find in the house. Please note that our website is not always up to date but there are a lot of pictures, etc. and an FAQ page. Do not hesitate to email if you have questions. There is an information booklet in the house for you to read upon arrival. There is a 'pot cat' (Eleuthera kitty cat) who resides on the property. A neighbor feeds her daily. She has access to our shed through a kitty door so she is completely independent. She does appreciate any attention you want to give her. If you are allergic to cats, please note that kitty is sometimes allowed in the house by cat loving guests. To get to Eleuthera, fly either directly to the island from Ft. Lauderdale or Miami or fly to Nassau and connect on either Southern Air or Pineapple Air. Bahamas Air has flights to the island also, but not daily. Aztec Airways flies straight from Ft. Lauderdale to Governor's Harbour. The fare is around 500 round trip. The Governor's Harbour Airport (GHB) is about 20 minutes from the house; North Eleuthera (ELH) is about 45 minutes from the house. It is best to secure a rental car prior to your arrival. Eleuthera celebrates many home-comings and holidays so cars are not always available. There are 110 miles of beaches in Eleuthera which most guests like to explore. There is also a lovely botanical garden - The Levy Preserve - located off Banks Rd. in Governor's Harbour. Eleuthera is quiet, serene, and beautiful. Research the island before you visit. The atmosphere is very laid back. Most islanders exist on 'island time' and the pace of life is very slow. Eleuthera is a lovely destination. Please note a $70 cleaning fee is required and must be left inside the house upon departure. We charge a fully refundable $200 damage deposit. Check-in is at 3:00.
