About this cottage rental
Welcome to Palm Bluff, an extraordinary 2-bedroom, 1-bath sanctuary perched upon a breathtaking seaside cliff just 5 minutes south of Gregory Town, Eleuthera, Bahamas. Revel in the unparalleled privacy of this exquisite retreat, where no visible neighbors and no other rental properties on-site promise a truly exclusive escape.
Boasting three sets of elegant mahogany French doors, Palm Bluff unveils a spacious front porch suspended 45 feet above the mesmerizing Caribbean Sea. Be it on the porch or within the house, stunning views of the water surround you at every turn.
Embrace your adventurous spirit by descending the concrete steps – artistically carved through the limestone cliff – to explore the calm waters below. Experience phenomenal snorkeling amidst an underwater wonderland teeming with tropical fish.
Four lounge chairs invite relaxation, whether you prefer shaded tranquility on the porch or sun-soaked leisure on the adjacent concrete deck. Additionally, two aluminum folding beach chairs accompany you on beach outings or daily excursions. After a day of sun and sand, rejuvenate under the outdoor shower (cool water only) with a captivating view of the sea.
Each tastefully-appointed bedroom features a serene, ultra-quiet AC unit and ceiling fan, while an additional AC unit cools the living room and kitchen, complemented by more ceiling fans. The stylish bathroom showcases a rainwater shower, a spacious sink vanity, and exquisite Cuban tile flooring. The kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink.
Palm Bluff provides bedding, towels, beach towels, and a fully-equipped kitchen. A washer and dryer are available in the adjoining laundry shed. Enjoy pure drinking water from the reverse osmosis (RO) system in the kitchen, perfect for consumption, cooking, and ice-making. While there is no TV, Wi-Fi is available to keep you connected.
Our dedicated caretaker, who lives just 5 minutes away, is readily available to assist with any questions or concerns during your stay. Additional maid services can be arranged for an extra fee.
Palm Bluff's exceptional location offers an extraordinary experience, with the cliffs and the gentle Caribbean breeze providing a unique Bahamian ambiance. Discover the world-famous Surfer's Beach, just one mile away on the Atlantic Ocean side, and experience Gregory Town's charming convenience stores, local eateries, fine dining, and friendly residents, a short 5-minute drive away.
A car is essential for exploring the island, and given the rugged terrain, we highly recommend an SUV with higher ground clearance. We can provide contacts for local car rentals, ensuring seamless pickup and drop-off at the airport. Palm Bluff is equidistant from North Eleuthera Airport (ELH) and Governor's Harbour Airport (GHB), each 30 minutes away.
Experience excellent bottom-fishing and deep-sea charter options in Gregory Town, or embark on a 30-minute drive to the water taxi dock for access to the captivating Harbour Island.
Escape to Palm Bluff – an unmatched, romantic hideaway where the enchanting Eleuthera, Bahamas, truly unfolds before you.

Perfect place! Majestic & private location. Amazing sunsets as well as phenomenal star gazing. Within 30 minutes of almost everything you could want (restaurants, grocery, airport, etc). House is very well appointed in every room and all furniture is SUPER comfortable. Outdoor space is great with lots of lounge areas and convenient outdoor shower. Caretaker Tenielle is super responsive and helpful. Bluetooth stereo for easy music connection/ambiance. Water filter for those who don't want to bury the planet in millions more plastic bottles. Relaxing and comfortable stay overall; couldn't ask for much more, TBH.

This was such a great experience. We came for our 5th Wedding Anniversary and the property and the Island did not disappoint. The property is beautiful, quite and secluded. The oceans views get you to stay here but let me tell you, the views of the stars will get you to return.No issues with the rental other than some minor wear and tear issues.You definitely need an SUV as the owner suggests.

The house was extremely clean and comfortable with beautiful views and a great snorkeling spot. We would have been happy not leaving the house the entire time! Our favorite excursions were a beautiful walk to surfers beach, a quick drive to the Cliffs, the glass window bridge, Sapphire Hole, and a festival in Hatchet Bay where locals were warm and welcoming.
We are already planning when we can return.
Thank you!

Our stay could not have been any better. The house was clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable and the AC kept the bedrooms cool at night. The pictures in the listing just don’t do justice to the view from the porch. An SUV is nice to have for the driveway but we never needed 4 wheel drive. Our family of four had plenty of room. Can’t wait to stay here again soon!

The views and breeze were wonderful. The bed and linens very comfortable. The information packet provided made it easy to get around. 4WD for the drive and other roads is a must. We felt home away from home with the pups and would love to try to get them back with us. The house could use a few updates but was a very comfortable house. It was also in a great central location to go north or south. We would definitely stay again at Palm Bluff!

My husband and I visited this home for our third stay in Eleuthera and it was our best experience yet! Home was a perfect fit for us with comfortable mattresses, stocked kitchen to cook, nice shower with privacy on the porch all day long! We enjoyed snorkeling off the house and plenty of outings of places to see in the North and mid part of the country. We would definitely stay here again!

The place is very much as pictured. Very clean and amazing views. The indoor shower head was a little tricky to ensure water didn’t get on the bathroom floor which we didn’t want to damage. The kitchen was well stocked to cook or not. Also, the house had items to go to the beach including snorkel equipment, cooler and chairs.

Locating a well-maintained, attractive small cottage on Eleuthera is sometimes difficult. This property checked all the boxes for us: private, quiet, views, good amenities, unique location, and competitively priced. One of the most unique features that may or may not appeal to guests is the access to the water. Definitely not for small children. But we thoroughly enjoyed plunging into the sea from the diving platform. Sitting on the deck feels like to you on the bridge of a ocean liner with expansive west views.

The property was clean and well stocked with all supplies listed in the description.
The view was mesmerizing and mafe us feel relaxed and content. The last part of the road to the house is bumpy, but we knew that ahead of time, and rented a vehicle with high clearance. Property is perfect for 2 people.

The place was amazing. The views are spectacular. Star-gazing and photography… world class. We had easy access to the water. Snorkeling was only a quick flat away. All the cooking and basic needs were there for us. Great overall trip

Beautiful cottage, perched on the cliff just outside of Gregorytown- amazing views, and sunset and steps down to the beautiful blue Caribbean waters, for swimming and jumping (my teens did a lot of it)! Immaculately, clean, easy, check in process, wonderful follow up from Caretaker.
We had zero complaints, but I am sure if we had a single one it would’ve been quickly remedied. We will most certainly be back to this secluded oasis on Eleuthera!

The cottage is just wonderful. The view, the patio, the living room, the matresses... We loved it! What we really missed was a (foldable?) dining table on the patio so the gorgeous sunset while eating diner outside.The caretaker is exceptional! Here comes the "but": the drive to the house is more than rocky! Even a 4W-drive Jeep had a HARD time managing. This really needs to be addressed.

Loved the view! Pretty spectacular and very private. We enjoyed it! Would have liked more shower towels .. sounds like a small detail but 4ppl staying in this home and 4 small shower towels. Minor detail but why not have more? Bring your own clothes washing detergent, sugar, etc. Thanks for letting us stay, we enjoyed our time. Cheers

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We made the best memories, that we will never forget! We felt like we were suspended in our own little tree house over the ocean. Our favorite thing to do each day was to come home from seeing all the beautiful beaches and jump off the “back porch” (cliff) into the ocean. The house offers complete privacy and pure bliss! Thank you!

Amazing property with the best view for the price. Don't waste your time with other beaches and go to Gaulding Cay Beach. Also, definitely rent a good SUV. The road to the house is not for the feint of heart. There are plenty to look for on Google. Really appreciated the rental app they send you. Best souvenir shop is in Gregory town.

Heaven on earth
This place is a gem. No matter which direction you look there is a breathtaking view. This place is super secluded and with no one in sight. The access to the ocean is so fun and we saw so many fish, stingray and sharks and had a blast jumping off. Sunset was our favorite hour and I haven’t seen a night sky as beautiful as I did here. The house itself is so cute and has everything you need. Just make sure you have a car that can handle the dirt road and you’re set. You will not regret booking this, it’s the best place over even been to.

Stunning views and shark swim experiences.
I can't say enough about the absolutely stunning 180 degree of the water all the way to the horizon. I could stand at the porch rail for hours just stare out at the clear blue water. The water was nearly always calm and we often saw fish and turtles right from the porch.
The whole place was very clean and everything was in very good condition. For island based internet, this was more than fast enough for the whole family to surf the web in the evening or even stream a netflix movie after the sun went down. The pictures shown online are very accurate we really enjoyed our stay.
Let's take a moment to talk about the steps that lead down to the water. They are fairly steep and the jump from the last platform into the water was a lot of fun. But be aware, when we were there, there was a significant amount of shark activity. When we first got there, my wife took a video of my daughter and I jumping into the water. See the video on tiktok under user account nikkiped5. ( sorry, VRBO doesn't allow direct links in comments. ) You can see in the video she nearly jumped on the shark! We were not aware of the shark until later when we were reviewing the video. Standing on the top of the stairs you can see turtles, sting rays and one of the two sharks cruise by at least once in 10-15 minutes. The water was awesome and very frequently as calm as a swimming pool, and if it wasn't for the sharks, there was great snorkeling as well. If you're adventurous and don't mind swimming with wild sharks, this is awesome. Some people spend a lot of money to swim with sharks, and here they are included! For us, we stayed out of the water after our SECOND shark encounter, after foolishly thinking that the jump was just a one in a million chance thing. Nope, these sharks live there and cruise the cliff all day.
Enjoy!

Palm Bluff home was nice and met all our needs. Dream view, the AC got the house cold at night, comfy beds, kitchen was equipped for cooking, strong Wi-Fi, books and games for your choosing.
There were not any beach chairs or cooler upon our arrival. But there were floats!
We bought some sterno cans for bug repellant and left two at the house. We would light them and sit them beside us outside and the bugs wouldn’t bother us. That’s our number 1 tip! Our other tip is if you have specific dietary needs to bring the food you need. It’s very hard to find on the island. Spanish Wells had a really nice grocery store:
Download the house instructions BEFORE YOU ARRIVE! The instructions to where the key is are in them and we were stuck for quite a while - about 2 hours with no cell service and unable to reach anyone and no way in. The information was not in the app, I do believe it was just a glitch. But just to be safe download it before you land in the Bahamas. :)

Overall we had a great week at Palm Bluff. House was as described including the rough road in. GPS worked to find the house despite the road not being marked with a sign. As we discovered during the week, many things on the island aren’t terribly well marked. Home is set up very nicely and amenities were good. Would recommend some nonstick cookware and a blender( Tropical Island, Frizen Drinks?). The stairs down to the water are very cool but the ladder is kind of sketchy. Looks like it had just been recently built but bolts were loose. I doubt if it will last one good storm. Original house listing said there would be a couple of beach chairs and a cooler for day trips. Didn’t exist. We found the described beach towels in a hamper by the coffee table after a couple of days. Caretaker told us that the towels in the bathroom were also beach towels and he said he’d check on mom working ceiling fans in the main room but never did. Still we had an enjoyable trip. Not sure if we’d do it again but it was a fun experience

There are times in your life when you take a trip you will never forget – this was one of those trips!
We had been looking forward to traveling to Eleuthera for several years and our experience more than exceeded our expectations!
This house is a perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of life and is perfectly appointed with all the amenities both required as well as wanted for any length of stay.
We enjoyed the beautiful veranda every day to watch the ocean and boats float by. Out here, you’ll feel as though you’re in your own peaceful paradise and although we ventured out every day to explore the beautiful island, we felt unbelievably comfortable in this hidden gem located high atop the cliffs.
If you’re looking for a trip of a lifetime, look no further than the beautiful island of Eleuthera!

Our week stay at Palm Bluff, was spectacular. It by far exceeded our expectations. The house was incredibly clean and all amenities worked perfectly. The morning views were inspiring and the sunsets from the porch above the cliff were breathtaking. Swimming in the blue waters of the Caribbean was out of a magazine including a dramatic cliffside entrance. The water itself was rich with fish of all kinds, and there is a gorgeous reef close by that is perfect for snorkelling. We also saw a sea turtle and a ray from the porch! We brought a SUP which gave us access to the many bays and caves that dot the shoreline here. Surfers beach is about a 10minute walk away. We rented boards and took surf lessons from Tom at Surfers Haven. It was very fun and pretty low-key. When not in the water, Gregory Town, Hatchet Bay and Governor's Harbour all had great food! The rental team was super easy to communicate with and very helpful in providing information. We tried several of the restaurants they recommended it they were amazing. The house really is stunning, well decorated and super clean. Honestly I think this is the best Airbnb I have stayed in.

Amazing Location, Complete Privacy!
Many thanks to Ellett for sharing his beautiful home with us. We were supposed to visit in May 2020 but COVID changed our plans. Ellett was great to work with, providing a refund back then, which made us want to rebook his beautiful home. We are so glad we did.
This home is extremely private! We didn't see another human anywhere near the home all week. Other than a bit of a rough road to get in it was perfect (but that's part of the charm, and all roads on Eleuthera are rough).
The home had everything we needed for a "do it yourself" vacation. We ate in virtually every meal, except great pizza from Rainbow Inn one day and lunch at Tippy's when we went to French Leave Beach. Great wi-fi to keep in touch with the outside world if you choose to. Cecil, who takes care of the house, was also great to work with on the one minor issue we experienced and was there in less than 10 minutes. If we had realized they had such great snorkeling gear we would have left ours own at home. Excellent beach chairs as well.
If we could do it over we wouldn't do late July, but we wanted to rebook once the restrictions were relaxed. It was very hot and humid, lots of insects, and the prevailing winds made the water pretty rough each day. We weren't able to use the diving platform like we would have liked, although one evening finally calmed and we saw several turtles just to the left.
Our favorite parts were the privacy, the very dark skies for viewing stars (saw the Milky Way with naked eyes), and the proximity to everything in the northern half of the island. Favorite beaches were Ben Bay (although lots of boats came in), Tay Bay (pretty private little cove on far east end), French Leave (probably our favorite of the week), and Ten Bay, which we went to twice. Amazing shallow water for 100 yards. Perfect for kids.
Palm Bluff provided the perfect getaway we needed to get away from people and COVID. So glad we chose this as our home base. Thanks Ellett, we appreciate you sharing your beautiful home with us!

If you’re looking for a very private and clean ocean front vacation home this is your spot. The house was great but the views and location are what really make it amazing. You’re 10 min from many attractions and 30 min to the Barbour island ferry. I would definatley stay here again.
