Location: Palmetto Point, Eleuthera, Bahamas, Caribbean (Only a 55-minute Flight from Ft Lauderdale!)
Accommodations: House plus Guesthouse, 3 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6)
"Finiterre," meaning lands end, is precisely where you will be, with no other land mass between you and the continent of Africa.
The majestic Atlantic Ocean takes on a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the day and the sunrises are sheer delight. The house is perched on a bluff 45 feet above the beach. Enjoy 180 degree views from either the upper or lower decks.
Miles of sugary, pink sand beaches stretch in either direction and most of the time your footprints will probably be the only ones you see. Beachwalks during the day are candy for the eye, beachwalks under the moonlight, are magical.
If you can be lulled into contentment by the tumbling surf of the Atlantic ocean, swimming in the crystal clear water, snorkeling with colorful fish, sipping cocktails on the deck, looking for beach treasures that have washed up, then consider Finiterre a small slice of heaven because it is quietly waiting for you to enjoy.
As of February 2005, a new one-bedroom guesthouse (maximum two guests) was completed that is available to rent with Finiterre for an additional $750.00 per week allowing larger groups to vacation together.
The guesthouse has a beautiful view of the ocean, a small kitchen, an air-conditioned bedroom and a bathroom with shower. We do not rent out the guest house as a stand-alone rental so your privacy is assured if you just take Finiterre for groups of 2 or 4.

Hi Jerri...just to let you know that ive moved on to my next home and settling in. Your place was wonderfull and we will highly recommend it to anyone! The finiterre is bright, clean, roomy and delightful. Everyone who visitied me loved it. The view is breathtaking and i spent almost every morning having my hot chocolate (and the occcasional baileys added to it) and raisin toast (from GH bakery).....it doesn't get better than that! My guests loved the t-shirts...a very nice touch..and we especially loved the beachtowels! They were big and fluffy and great for the beach to enjoy the sun and water! We had some visitors in the house from time to time including a couple of frogs, the odd spider, and a few gheko's...we even had a big hermit crab knocking on the patio doors....but it added to the island excitment....and all very well expected!!! Plus i think we were the ones letting them in and the kids visiting certainly got a kick out of. Kinda reminded me of back home where i grew up...but we had mice, salamanders, crickets, and squirrels!!! Rheta and Andrew were the best....honestly the nicest people ive ever met...and ive met quite a few! They were always willing to help out...and it was nice that we didn't need them too much...nothing broke, everything worked...absolutely stress free! So now ive got 5 weeks left on this beautiful island...and from what i hear from back home...i picked a good winter to be away! Next year Lane and i are off to either Crooked island or Exumas for more exploration....and hopefully be back to Eleuthera the following year. Thank you both very much for allowing me to rent your beautiful home! Take care for now! Jo-Ann and Lane Luck **This set of guests stayed at Finiterre for 5 weeks and this was an email she sent me.

On July 20th, 2006 we took advantage of a break in the guests and closed Finiterre for a few months of re-fit and freshening up. We were nervous making changes to Finiterre because our guest's comments were so positive over the past several years, however Finiterre re-opened November 9th to rave reviews and she is waiting to enchant upcoming guests. I'm sure you will all enjoy her new look! Some of our projects included removing any standard 8' ceilings and lofting the ceilings using whitewashed cedar overhead. We installed all new ceiling fans, interior doors, replaced much of the trim work and installed several new windows. Each room was given a fresh coat of paint in true Caribbean colors and new window treatments were installed. We look forward to giving our guests a vacation getaway where memories to last a lifetime will be created. Thank you to all who have made Finiterre such a success and we anxiously await future comments to share.

We had a blast here at Finiterre celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. We totally relaxed and unplugged from the world! We loved exploring the island, our favorite things besides the beautiful beach here were Ten Bay, Harbour Island, Ben Bay-amazing but hard to get to! We had great food at Dolcevita, Tippy's Unique, Nate and Jenny's and the bakery in Governors Harbour. We loved Andrew and Reta - they were so kind and helpful. Andrew took us fishing at the beach - we got to see him catch a lobster! We had beautiful weather and incredible starry nights! We had a nice bike ride on our last morning here. All in all this trip was everything we could have hoped for! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us! Sincerely, Karen and Lance F.

We truly enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing trip to Eleu. We feel our 6 nights gave us a feeling of the wonderful island poeple, the beaches, the wonderful food and of courst the view :) from the windows!!!. We enjoyed trips to Ten Bay (awesome to see rays, fish, etc) and Tarpum Bay for Snapper an dConch. We even learned a lesson grom getting bumped from an Atlantic wave snorkeling and stepping on our first urchin, OUCH! We loved a sunset dinner with Dr. Seabreeze at Rainbow Inn. Snorkling and kayking ov the reef were amazing. Thanks to lovely Reta and Andrew. What a Bahamian blessing they were! Loving this beach! Tom and Gretchen S.

Our stay at Finiterre was so much fun. We had so many fun experiences all around the island. Even the best snorkeling trip we saw was at Ten Bay Beach. The water was so amazing and so were the fish. But if you go there watch for all the jellies - Also we went to Muriels Bakery and got cinnamon rolls and fried chicken. Everyone was so nice on the sialdn and Andrew and Rita were so....helpful. The house was great and if you every found yourself doing nothing, the board games were a favorite. On one of the last days we took the kayaks out - it was a lot of fun and we saw lots of fish. Thanks for everyone who made our stay at Eleuthera pleasurable. Katie S.

Fun Finiterre - My family and I loved this trip for a number of reasons. Not only did we love this trip for the awesome memories we will take with us of people we met and places we've been. Don't ever be afraid to aks someone for directions or such, just do it. The best thing to do is get out and explore places like Ten Bay, Ocean Hole, Preachers Cave, and so much more you can find. Like I said, make your own memories. Unique's Tippy's Muriels and Rainbow Inn were all excellent places to eat, although Tippy's pizza was simply divine! Muriels Bakery was great cinnimon rolls and fried chicken, but I know she has much more that I recomend. Jus relax, kick back, and enjoy your vacation (hopefully as much as I did). Thanks for all you do Andrew and Rita. Loving this house, Emily S.

Jerri, Andrew and Reta, Thank you for making this vacation so very wonderful. We are so appreciative of this beautiful home...and view!...and your helpfulness. We've enjoyed eating at Tippy's and other local places in the advertisements. One of our favorite snorkels was at Kemps Bay, you have to walk on brown coral but the snorkeling is fun! We found sand dollars and a few starfish diving in 5-6 ft. waters at Ten Bay, snorkeling-fish at Lighthouse. Enjoyed visiting with charming and freindly local people. We used the topographic maps and others even though they are old to find our way around the island. For a good home cooked meal, ask around for the Blue Room in GH 332-2736, nice food and conserves. Explore, live and love, Bob and Barb S and Charles. PS, I have a pic of the visitng gecko in the living---I loved it!!
