About this property

Oceanfront Glass House on Private Deserted Pink Sand Beach

Bonefish Barbis Beach Bungalow Beachhouse is an oceanfront vacation rental located in Eleuthera, Bahamas (Fodor's Travel Guide said that Eleuthera is one of the most beautiful Bahamian islands).

This modern two bedroom/two bath house sits atop a bluff directly on the ocean with a panoramic view of a horizon full of whitecaps generated by nearby offshore reefs. Many of these reefs are within swimming distance in shallow waters. The house is surrounded by flowers, especially an assortment of different colors of bourganvillas. The beach in front of the house is virtually deserted and you can walk for miles either way on beautiful white/pink powder soft sand-- you probably wont see another person.

WE NOW HAVE WI-FI !

Perfect Private Beach

Bonefish Barbis was honestly a home away from home! This was our first time to the island and we were comfortable the entire time. Barbi was very quick to reply to any questions we had and made us feel welcome at the house! I would absolutely stay here again, perfect quiet getaway!

Nicer than expected

Great floor plan - everything was functional although we didn't use the TV - internet worked fine when the power was on - lost power several times during the week, but that's expected. Saw a yellow-crowned night heron in the yard several days in a row - he may live there. Surprisingly private even though there is another house close by. The hedge and separate stairway to the beach make it seem quite isolated. Enjoyed walking Airport beach without driving.

Peaceful & Great Beach

I have been going to Eleuthera for over 20 years. Every home is different and being on a remote island has its challenges for property owners. This home sits on a great beach with plenty of privacy. It was very clean and the check in process was super easy. Some items are worn, but everything works. The bed in the blue bedroom sways and is super soft (the only negative). Awesome view and nice location.

Great choice for a memorable vacation

My family of 4 stayed for 6 nights in late March. The house was clean and well equipped with comfortable beds. There are many chairs, coolers, towels, snorkeling gear, and even some floaties available for use. The view is amazing, I could never tire of the view. The beach is a short walk down a couple flights of wooden stairs. The sand is fine, soft, white with pink mixed in. You can walk for miles and miles in either direction. We will be back!

Comfortable House with Spectacular Views

The house is very comfortable, was very clean, and the kitchen is well-stocked with pots/pans, dishes and utensils. The view is what you want when you stay at a house overlooking the Atlantic Ocean! If privacy, quiet, easy beach access and a chance to sit outside and check out the night sky is what you’re looking for, this is the place. Owner is easy to communicate with.

Fantastic private location with beautiful views

The home is very private with stunning views. AC, TV, WIFI, frig, hot water worked great and kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable and you could hear the Atlantic Ocean at night. The outside of the home needs some repair. Wood deck with shower and chaise lounges overlook a beautiful soft sandy beach. Lots of wooden steps down to the beach. Beach was empty most days but a few homes are located on the north side of the home. No homes to the south. Good visibility in water but few fish. Sandy deserted private beach about one mile in length to the south after you cross a rocky area by an abandoned beach house. Not many shells found. Restaurants, grocery, bakery and gas station in Governor's Harbor 5 miles south of home. Home is in a great location for exploring Eleuthera or for just staying home for the day ready and enjoying the deck and beach. Try to rent a 4 wheel drive if you like to explore. Lots of pot holes and rough roads. We would stay there again.

Exactly as advertised!

Absolutely gorgeous views! Practically private beach. The little cabana was the bomb. House accomplished all of our goals. A bedroom view was insane. It was pretty windy most of the time we were there so I did not get to snorkel out front. (tried once and got a little beat up.) Hoping on our next trip to get some calmer seas. We were there the week before Thanksgiving. Not everything was open yet but we did just fine. Did not realize that you drive opposite here. Adapted quickly. There are some major potholes so stay awake! Also if your looking for a glamorous island resort feel, not so much. If you want to slow down and chill...Eleuthera is the place.

True paradise

My husband and boys ages 7 & 9 had the best time on our trip to Eleuthera. Barbi was super responsive with any questions and suggestions leading up to and during our trip. I was BLOWN AWAY at the amazing reef located right there in front of the house. We saw all kinds of beautiful fish. The house was very comfortable and quickly felt like home. The neighborhood cat was so friendly and made herself at home too! haha. The sunrise was amazing to watch every morning while sipping my coffee. There were a few days when it was a little rough at our beach and we went across to Cocodimama, just a short ride away and it was super calm and amazing. Everyone we met on the island was very friendly. Our only regret is not getting to stay longer and getting shorted a day by American Airlines. We will definitely be back though!

Spectacular Views!!

If it's views you're looking for, Bonefish Barbi's Oceanfront Glass House is for you! Our check-in was a little difficult at nighttime because the sign on the tree did not have a light. But we arrived so late due to the crappy airline we flew...Silver Airways....terrible! So I don't fault the owner for that. The next morning we woke up to the most spectacular views! I could feel the stress immediately leave my body! We had THE MOST relaxing vacation we've ever had. The beach in front of the house is excellent. We had it to ourselves almost as far as the eye could see our entire 10 days. Bonefish provides everything you need...beach chairs, beach towels, float noodles and blowups, ice chests, games, movies, books, plenty of dishes. We enjoyed reading the logs of comments by other guests. The glow-in-the-dark countertops are soooo beautiful! In addition, the location of Bonefish is perfect. You're right in the middle of the island. We explored all the way to the north end and all the way to the south end. Each end is only an hour drive from this location. Governor's Harbor has everything you need, only 10 minutes away. Barbi was so great during the entire process; very quick to respond to any question I had. The furnishings are nice all throughout. Beds were super comfortable, and the house just has a warm, comfortable feel to it. Sunrises here were so beautiful and there was always a nice breeze. We can't wait to go back!!

Island Get Away

This house was completely perfect and everything we expected. It was on the Atlantic side with your own (mostly) private beach. There were other houses but we didn't see anyone on the beach the entire time we were there. The house had all that we needed for a comfortable stay (towels, blender, coffee maker etc.). It was very clean. The host communicated well prior to our arrival so there wasn't any need to reach out while we were on the island (but I'm sure she would have been responsive had we needed something). Every restaurant we went to had great food and atmosphere. It was close to Governors Harbor. We flew into N Eleuthera so we had about an hours drive but it was expected. Renting a car is a must. We spent our mornings on our "private" beach and afternoons exploring the beaches on the Caribbean side. Both were beautiful! While I loved hearing the waves crash at night, I also enjoyed the blue and calm of the Caribbean.

Bonefish Barbis Tropical Retreat

This is our 5th visit to beautiful Eleuthera. We left Maine in a snow storm and arrived at Bonefish Barbis in tropical paradise. As we drove up the driveway surrounded by palm trees and vibrant bougainvillea we immediately felt at home. As we entered the house we were drawn to the amazing panoramic ocean views, beach and reefs. We were excited to get out in the water and snorkel the reefs... some of the best snorkeling and beautiful fish during our vacation. The pink sand beach is lovely and you can walk for miles without seeing another soul. The house is comfortable and it was great to have 2 private bedrooms at different wings of the house with their own on-suite bathrooms. The outside decks and the views are amazing!! Barbi answered our questions promptly and was great to work with. We love Eleuthera and plan to stay at Barbis again in the future.
