Leapin' Lizards - Enjoy the enchanting ocean-side estate of Leapin' Lizards!

Leapin Lizards Island Retreat

Immerse yourself in the captivating feeling of an enchanting ocean-side Retreat nestled at the foot of Turtle Hill on picturesque Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. Enjoy the unique coziness of any of the eight bedroom suites, each with its own theme and private bathroom. (One of only three homes on Elbow Cay offering eight bedrooms.) In addition to the twenty-one guests that can be accommodated in a wide variety of beds, there are four queen sleeper sofas that can sleep eight more guests for a total of twenty-nine. Four kitchens are available to serve a wide variety of wakeup times from the early morning sunrise watchers to the mid-morning sleep-ins. There are also two guest (Insert “self-service”) laundries to serve the day-to-day needs of guests. The ability to provide for many guests with a wide variety of sleeping arrangements, kitchens and laundries provides a perfect venue for weddings, and corporate retreats.

Step back in time to the slower pace of old-world charm and feel the tranquility when you view the multi-colored pristine waters of the Abacos or a magical starlit night from the outdoor king-sized dune-top bed overlooking the ocean.

Accompany that first cup of early morning coffee with a spectacular view of sunrise cresting over the waves of the Atlantic from the ocean-side gazebo, the arbor covered front deck, or the third floor of the Island House.

Arriving guests first encounter the main three-story Island House connected by an elevated walkway over a lushly landscaped patio to a wonderful swimming pool and tanning deck. The pool is adjacent to the charming oceanfront Beach House. Both buildings share the timeless architecture of high Bahamian tongue and groove ceilings complimented by beadboard walls and many authentic period antiques.

Flexible rental options exist for smaller groups to rent only one building at $11,825.00 or both for $17,879.40 each offering its own unique charm and accommodation ensuring an unforgettable island getaway. Full access to the pool and ocean-side amenities are available regardless of which building is chosen.
