A little slice of heaven
I warn anyone coming to Eleuthera for the first time to temper their ambitions because the first time you see this property you aren’t going to want to leave. During our stay, the water was beautiful and the beach was empty. The house is gorgeous and well stocked. Just grab the chairs provided, fill the cooler provided, and head down to the beach for the entire stay. Some advice: if you walk to La Bougainvillea, walk near low tide. The sand can be hard to walk on otherwise. Absolutely walk down there for pizza on Thursday. The lobster garlic pizza is amazing. This place is heaven.
