Oceanfront Glass House on Private Deserted Pink Sand Beach

Bonefish Barbis Beach Bungalow Beachhouse is an oceanfront vacation rental located in Eleuthera, Bahamas (Fodor's Travel Guide said that Eleuthera is one of the most beautiful Bahamian islands).

This modern two bedroom/two bath house sits atop a bluff directly on the ocean with a panoramic view of a horizon full of whitecaps generated by nearby offshore reefs. Many of these reefs are within swimming distance in shallow waters. The house is surrounded by flowers, especially an assortment of different colors of bourganvillas. The beach in front of the house is virtually deserted and you can walk for miles either way on beautiful white/pink powder soft sand-- you probably wont see another person.

WE NOW HAVE WI-FI !

See the website of the house below under 'Additional Web Information' for photographs and an accurate picture.

Great location and gorgeous beach
While our stay started out with bad weather, we made the best of things putting together some awesome puzzles she had. When the power went out at night for a bit, we enjoyed the glow in the dark counter tops!! lol. The location of this home is fantastic! We were able to explore points both north and south of the house. We walked the beach below as far as we could and back. Great long walk. Saw many ships out at sea I the shipping lanes right from the comfort of the kitchen table. She had plenty of pans and utencils for cooking and the house is well stocked with beach chairs, coolers, and some snorkel gear. The house was clean and there were plenty of towels for showering which is great for a little longer stay. The a/c units worked great even though we didn't need them often at all. The Island Farm isn't far and we were able to find just about everything we needed there. Fresh bread and sweet rolls on Tuesdays and Fridays had us going back for more! Gas and groceries, fresh fish, and great gift shop Norma's in Governor's Harbour....not to mention a super fun Friday night Fish Fry.

A beautiful view, but a house with issues
The setting is spectacular… sits 40 feet above Atlantic Ocean waves with expansive views to horizon. The beach has only about 6 other houses. In two weeks, we saw fewer than 5 people on the small beach, so quite private. Barbie is a very responsive host. Bullets to truncate a much more extensive review of a house in need of work.- great deal of deferred maintenance. Most window shades broken. Some windows must be propped open, some screens are ripped, handles missing from screens.- There was a broken screen dumped on the front porch when we arrived.- Kitchen: only 2 unmatched glass wine glasses, random drinking glasses, a random tableware and pots and pans and dishes (many chipped). Not ideal for people who cook a lot. -only cleaning supplies-Dawn, dustpan,broom, mop,bucket, no detergent. -condiments: salt, pepper, and some chili flakes. - if you have mobility issues, it’s 40 feet of stairs down to the stair on the beach, and a foot-plus drop to the sand. - 2 of 4 deck recliners broken- high, kitchen counters, but only 1 chair high enough to sit there-all 4 folding, closet doors brokenThe short beach bounded on south by destroyed fortification; on north, quite large, outcropping of jagged, coral. Crossing treacherous with mobility issues. 5 miles of beautiful beach beyond.-Barbie: appreciative of feedback, indicated she would fix some problems for future guests. Of our 60 rentals-this is in the top 5% for beautiful vistas, bottom 5% for upkeep.

Beautiful location
This was a perfect location for our stay. The bedroom layout is great for two couples, or two singles. The bedrooms are at separate ends of house and each has its own full bath. The beds were very comfy! The kitchen is well equipped, but we don't really like to cook on vacay, so opted for late lunch out somewhere every day, with light breakfast and snacks for dinner. There is a nice grill on back deck. The view from front deck is beautiful! We pulled the chaise lounges up from the middle deck and enjoyed sitting outside and watching the incredibly blue ocean. The gorgeous pink sand beach is just down some steps and we only saw someone else on beach once! It was very windy while we were there, so most of our beach-sitting time was spent on the west side of island (sooo many beautiful beaches to choose from!). We really appreciated having fold-up beach chairs and ice chests available to take in car or down to beach with us. Plenty of beach towels available for use. When the sky is clear, the stars are amazing...super bright and they seem so close! We don't get that living in the city. Internet was great. Heard lots of stories about it going down a lot on the island, but we only lost it once for a short time. Governors Harbor area was perfect location for us...very central for exploring north/south. Well-stocked grocery store in town. Barb was great. She responded quickly and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful view and Home, but…
The views from the home are amazing. It’s proximity to the beach is hard to beat. The summer heat in Eleuthera is brutal and the A/C in the main living area could not keep up. The power went out almost every day, but less than 1 hour each time. However, our local subdivision lost power for almost 24 hours, that left us with no A/C, wifi or ability to call for help. After not sleeping the entire night, I spent half the day locating & talking with the power company before power was restored.

Bonefish Barbis was honestly a home away from home! This was our first time to the island and we were comfortable the entire time. Barbi was very quick to reply to any questions we had and made us feel welcome at the house! I would absolutely stay here again, perfect quiet getaway!

Nicer than expected
Great floor plan - everything was functional although we didn't use the TV - internet worked fine when the power was on - lost power several times during the week, but that's expected. Saw a yellow-crowned night heron in the yard several days in a row - he may live there. Surprisingly private even though there is another house close by. The hedge and separate stairway to the beach make it seem quite isolated. Enjoyed walking Airport beach without driving.

Peaceful & Great Beach
I have been going to Eleuthera for over 20 years. Every home is different and being on a remote island has its challenges for property owners. This home sits on a great beach with plenty of privacy. It was very clean and the check in process was super easy. Some items are worn, but everything works. The bed in the blue bedroom sways and is super soft (the only negative). Awesome view and nice location.

Great choice for a memorable vacation
My family of 4 stayed for 6 nights in late March. The house was clean and well equipped with comfortable beds. There are many chairs, coolers, towels, snorkeling gear, and even some floaties available for use. The view is amazing, I could never tire of the view. The beach is a short walk down a couple flights of wooden stairs. The sand is fine, soft, white with pink mixed in. You can walk for miles and miles in either direction. We will be back!

Comfortable House with Spectacular Views
The house is very comfortable, was very clean, and the kitchen is well-stocked with pots/pans, dishes and utensils. The view is what you want when you stay at a house overlooking the Atlantic Ocean! If privacy, quiet, easy beach access and a chance to sit outside and check out the night sky is what you’re looking for, this is the place. Owner is easy to communicate with.

Fantastic private location with beautiful views
The home is very private with stunning views. AC, TV, WIFI, frig, hot water worked great and kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable and you could hear the Atlantic Ocean at night. The outside of the home needs some repair. Wood deck with shower and chaise lounges overlook a beautiful soft sandy beach. Lots of wooden steps down to the beach. Beach was empty most days but a few homes are located on the north side of the home. No homes to the south. Good visibility in water but few fish. Sandy deserted private beach about one mile in length to the south after you cross a rocky area by an abandoned beach house. Not many shells found. Restaurants, grocery, bakery and gas station in Governor's Harbor 5 miles south of home. Home is in a great location for exploring Eleuthera or for just staying home for the day ready and enjoying the deck and beach. Try to rent a 4 wheel drive if you like to explore. Lots of pot holes and rough roads. We would stay there again.

Exactly as advertised!
Absolutely gorgeous views! Practically private beach. The little cabana was the bomb. House accomplished all of our goals. A bedroom view was insane. It was pretty windy most of the time we were there so I did not get to snorkel out front. (tried once and got a little beat up.) Hoping on our next trip to get some calmer seas. We were there the week before Thanksgiving. Not everything was open yet but we did just fine. Did not realize that you drive opposite here. Adapted quickly. There are some major potholes so stay awake! Also if your looking for a glamorous island resort feel, not so much. If you want to slow down and chill...Eleuthera is the place.
