My husband and I have never taken a trip that was just the two of us, we are always visiting loved ones when we take a trip, as many can relate to. We decided on the Bahamas because neither of us had ever been. After a bad experience in Nassau, I contacted Taja. Lucky for us, theRound House on Eleuthera was available for 3 nights and a guest room in the main house was open for the 4th, which is all we needed. Getting off the plane and driving to the round house, the negative energy and stress we both had been saturated in evaporated off of us in the warm sun and fresh air. Eleuthera is a far less populated Island, the local Bahamians are warm and generous, it is quaint and charming and more our speed. The rental comes with a rental car if you want, that is just waiting there at the airport for when you land. Doon and Taja really think about everything, how to make things convenient and clear. Taking the dirt road to the roundhouse felt like such an adventure. When we pulled up, we could not help but have a grin from ear to ear, I may have squealed and did a ridiculous happy dance when we got out of the car, maybe. For those looking for privacy, charm, and enjoys the discovery of countless little magical details that make this unique Round House so special, this is the place for you. It was clear this place was made with love for the serene surroundings and breathtaking beaches. There are thoughtful and creative details at every turn, obviously as an ode to the land and lifestyle that Doon (Taja’s Mother and resident badass goddess) wanted to cultivate.
When we walked to the Cabana and saw the turquoise water, pink sand, hands down one of the most beautiful sights my husband and I have ever seen, pure gratitude. The Round House comes with everything you need, a private cabana, paddle boards, kayaks, two showers, one on the inside and one on the outside. There is a BBQ and Yoga deck. Sleeping on that comfy bed with the sounds of the ocean was perfect. What has not thought of to make it more perfect? With our Rum cocktails in hand, we would spent hours each night in the cabana looking up a million stars. We saw at least 15 shooting stars every night and made many many wishes. One, is that we will hold this special place, the memories, the connection we shared with Doon and the land she calls home, hold it in our hearts forever. The other, is that we will find our way back someday.
