Elephant Beach House has approximately 700 square feet of air conditioned living area, plus scenic wood decks, thatched roof gazebo and deck overlooking the beautiful beach. Spacious stairs with comfortable landings provide additional living space to enjoy the spectacular views. Our beach is composed of some of the softest beach sand you will find anywhere in the world and is secluded (you may observe 10 people walk down the beach all day)! The cottage is rustic and cozy with split unit air conditioning and wall units for back-up. The small kitchen was completely updated in 2016 with granite countertops and new cabinets. It has a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave oven, and toaster. The cottage is a split plan with the bedrooms each containing a queen size bed. The front bedroom has an attached bathroom with stand-up shower. The back bedroom has a water closet and an outdoor shower that overlooks the Sea of Abaco beyond the jungle. The cottage sleeps two couples comfortably. A golf cart is recommended and can be rented on the island. The lot is 750 feet deep and 100 feet wide on the beach with a tropical jungle surrounding the cottage. The cottage has a backup diesel generator in case of power outages.

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 enthusiasts will love the seclusion...the views...and the beach.

perfect secluded paradise
My husband booked this trip for our anniversary, I was a little reluctant leaving the kids for so long, but I quickly got over it when we arrived. The house was perfect. It was immaculate, comfortable, fully stocked, there was nothing that we needed that wasn't already there. The property itself was amazing, set on the beach in a "jungle", it was nothing less than breathtaking. We spent many of our meals on the top deck & most of our days on the bottom deck or in the hammock.
We've been to several islands in the Caribbean that we were a little nervous about safety-wise, but we never once felt uncomfortable here. The locals are super friendly, the grocery store had fresh fruit, vegetables, good cuts of meat & everything else we needed. We chartered a boat, went fishing, swam with the pigs, & fed the sharks at Manjack. We walked the beach twice a day, ate at Grabbers, Nippers (missed the pig roast, bummed about that), & grilled the rest of the nights.
We definitely plan to return to the Elephant Beach House, next time with the kids!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at our secluded sanctuary. Thank you for the kind words. We look forward to having you return.

Nice for a couple, small for more. Tidy, but odd layout.
Beautiful views, not luxurious but comfortable. No washer/dryer available so plan accordingly. Buy anything you think you might need in Marsh Harbour.

Breathtaking location
Perfect Island Getaway!
This has to be our favorite beach that we’ve stayed on! Better than the pictures and we had the beach all to ourselves! Perfect little cottage with total privacy yet just a few minutes from restaurants, grocery and docks.
RB:

My husband and I have traveled to so many tropical places. Guana Cay and the Elephant House are by far our favorite. From the moment you get on the island, you are in awe of the small, island town and nice people. The town has so much Caribbean character. As soon as we drove up to the Elephant House the view literally took our breath away. Wow!!!!! This home is so private and quiet. We enjoyed the beach, the hammock, snorkeling, star gazing and taking our golf cart from restaurant to bars:). This was the first time I can actually say I was sad to leave a place. We cannot wait to come back
Ric Flair - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Good times every time I stay here!
Map
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.
