About this property

Tui House, Eleuthera Escape

Tui House is a spacious 1500 sf home featuring a shotgun style to take advantage of the island breezes. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams provide a light, bright, airy vibe, inviting you to cast off your shoes (and worries) and stay a while.
Enjoy sunrise with your coffee from the back deck, and sunset cocktails from your front deck. An additional 1000 sf screened deck brings the total square footage to 2500 of living area! The screened deck offers a large common area including dining and living area, complete with hammock swings to lull you into deep relaxation while watching the sunset.
Each bedroom has a king bed, en suite bathroom, closet, ceiling fan and dedicated A/C unit. The spacious master bedroom has a walk-in closet and French doors to the screened sunset deck.
The nicely equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and may well bring out the gourmet chef in you. A large island invites the family to share breakfast and new memories. This space also has its own A/C unit, fun corner bench seating, French doors and beautiful sunset views.
Down the breezeway between two sets of sliding doors is the media room where you can relax and stream movies and/or use as an office (no cable TV). A washing machine is also in this space with a clothesline on the back deck.
Dedicated WiFi is provided both at the home and on the beach, within proximity of the main beach house.
An outdoor shower stands amid the lush garden. The landscape is dotted with flowering bushes, coconut palms, mango, banana, papaya and almond trees and when mature will offer fresh fruit for your enjoyment. Papayas are already available (seasonal) and incredibly delicious! The décor is “beach bo-hamian” designed for comfort and smiles.
Tui House comes with towels, sheets and pillows, blankets, beach towels, 2 paddle boards, 1 kayak and some snorkel equipment (best to bring your own for better fit.) The beach toys and loungers are located just down the path at the main beach house named “The Down Under.”
A starter pack of toilet paper and paper towels is provided (vacationers are expected to purchase essentials beyond the starter pack.)
Tui House has an identical sister property next door, Kiwi House. Perfect for large groups!
A note about island life: All guests are asked to conserve water and electricity as resources can sometimes run low and we are on a sensitive hybrid system (solar/electric/cisterns.)
**Please note, we do not have golf carts available. Due to a glitch in the system, some listings show old information offering golf carts.**

Beautiful Well Furnished House
This house is beautiful. And very well furnished. It had plenty of dishes & bowls & pots which we loved as we cooked most of our meals here. The bedrooms are very spacious. The house was super clean and a couple minutes walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on Eleuthera. I would most definitely stay here again.

Paradise in Northern Eleuthera
The property was very spacious, clean and had a rustic feel. The kitchen was very functional and had all the appliances needed to create a stress free cooking environment. The center island had a table and stools where we had breakfast every morning. Every bedroom had a bathroom. The property had plenty of yard space for kids to run around. The proximity to Gaulding Cay beach was icing on the cake. The beach was beautiful, clean, calm and a great place for kids and adults. Lastly June and Dave were fantastic hosts. They were very hospitable, responsive and attended to any needs quickly. They were very resourceful and gave us information on how to explore the island. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect little Hideaway
Excellent place. Loved the outdoor seating area, perfect place to spend evenings free from bugs. The property owners were fantastic to work with and very accommodating. The location is perfectly placed within driving distance to great fishing and snorkeling locations.

Perfect Paradise
This is our 2nd visit to Eleuthera. This was a great place to stay. While, the property is not directly on the beach it is only a few steps away and Dave provided us with a golf cart which came in handy when we wanted to bring multiple things down to the beach. Otherwise, it is a very short walk. On the beach, Dave has kayaks and paddle boards to use, all in great condition. The property is beautiful with trees producing great fruits. June and Dave were very responsive to any needs or questions we had. The house is perfectly equipped with everything you need. We mostly cooked in the well equipped kitchen with the exception of a few nearby restaurants we went to. Dave was at his home during our stay and was available anytime we needed. It is also wonderful to see all that Dave is doing for the community. Will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by June Robbins

Host profile image
Dave Ireland, originally from New Zealand, first built the "Down Under" on Gaulding Cay Beach in 2015. The house was constructed over the original boathouse, which is now the "No Worries" cottage.

In 2020, Dave started construction on the 2 rental properties, Tui and Kiwi, for his daughters, Lisa and Debbie, who live in Australia and New Zealand respectively. The pandemic delayed much of the work. The homes were completed in the spring of 2021.
