About Brian Bursa
We are attorneys in Florida. We fell in love with this property and purchased it in 2004. We are fortunate to stay at Elephant Beach House 5 times each year.
Brian Bursa purchased this Cottage in 2004
Why Brian Bursa chose Great Guana Cay
If you are looking for a secluded, island/beach get away, this is an ideal property. It is rustic (not fancy). This is not a luxury property. True beach/island enthusiastics will love the seclusion...the views...and the beach.

Getting away from it all in Guana Cay
The place was just as we thought it would be , very private and right on the beach . The cottage had everything you would need , quite comfortable and you just can't beat the sound of the waves crashing on the beach as you fall asleep at night . The caretaker Darvin met us at the dock with our golf cart for the week when we arrived and he couldn't have been nicer ! I know we will be back ......

Thank you for your review. We hope that you come back in the future !
No words to describe a little piece of heaven❤️ Beautiful and so peaceful.
This property is the most beautiful and pictureous Island cottage we have ever vacationed at. The bluff view is outstanding. Three decks allowed us to enjoy the sun from all angles. We loved our total privacy from the beautiful turquoise sea to the deep green of the jungle. Will definitely return.
N.C.: We are so happy you enjoyed stay at our little piece of paradise. Please do come back. We offer 10% discounts for returning guests.

Beautiful.
Breath taking view. Great place to get away!
Staff at Dive Guana were great too- snorkeling and island hopping were fantastic.
House was great. Enjoyed it very much
Ocean Front Cottage
The Elephant Cottage is a great spot for one or two couples or a small family to get away. The cottage is situated on the top of a bluff that looks out over the Atlantic - really picturesque. The cottage is set up nicely with the two bedrooms having separate entrances and all the necessities as far as appliances etc. Great area to hang out on the deck in the hammock and nice little platform down on the beach. We had mostly good weather which was amazing but it is important to note that it does get really loud / blustery once the wind picks up due to it's location on the bluff. Owner's were very responsive and Darvin the property manager was very helpful.
Would reccomend Guana Cay if you're looking for a quieter island. Limited options for restaurants / grocery / liquor but if you plan it shouldn't be an issue.
The property was great with awesome views!
Donna and I had a great time and can't wait to go back. The house was perfect for us and very private on a great beach....
We can't say enough about the house or the island. The people are so friendly and nice. The caretaker made sure we wanted for nothing, we never seen him but, he answered any questions we had right away!
The overall experience was awesome and we will definitely be back! Thank you for letting us share your little piece of paradise!
Our 4th Wonderful Trip To Pure Paradise
What can I say ? Each trip to Elephant Beach House and Great Guana Cay gets better and better. The freshly updated kitchen was a lovely surprise. As always, the cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable. It is ideal for two couples. Even though it is roughly 800 square feet under roof, the two bedrooms are in separate structures which allows for space between two couples. We never get tired of the extraordinary view and all the decks. We always have new adventures on each visit. The diving and fishing are world class. The price is very reasonable. The owner and the property manager are caring and responsive. This is a quintessential Bahamas beach cottage. We will be back !
Location
Elephant Beach House is located on a 40 foot dune overlooking a beautiful, secluded beach with snorkeling and diving from the shore. This is a true get-away-from-it-all, laid-back island/beach locale. There are beach bars/grills, grocery store, and liquor store close by for your convenience.
