2 Bedroom House in Gregory Town, Whale Point

NEW HOUSE ON NORTH ELEUTHERA'S BEST HIDDEN TREASURE: WHALE POINT
5% DISCOUNT for stays of 7 days or more!
Lazy Turtle House is a newly built 2.5 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom villa with spectacular water views from every aspect. Located on the secluded peninsular of Whale Point, North Eleuthera, Lazy Turtle House is nestled between a pretty lagoon and a shallow, turquoise harbor where you will find some of the calmest and clearest water on the planet - brimming with sea turtles and colorful reef fish just waiting to say hello.
Lazy Turtle House features 2000 sq feet of spacious decks, both covered and uncovered, for sunbathing, ocean views, sunset cocktails, outdoor dining - everything you need to relax and recharge.
- Elegantly furnished throughout, the house is topped with a unique roof deck accessed from a 10' x 10' reading/sleeping loft. The loft has a full twin sized daybed and can be used for sleeping, although there is no direct access to the main bathroom, and no air conditioning, but there are usually good breezes, the windows have screens and there is a large ceiling fan.
- Enjoy panoramic views and breezes with shaded seating, a sit-up bar perfect for sunset cocktails and a luxurious hammock for sunbathing and stargazing.
- The open plan ground floor has a dining table for 8, comfortable lounge chairs and a modern kitchen with breakfast bar.
- Upstairs, the master bedroom has a view to die for. The queen-size bed has a sumptuous 13" mattress for the best night's sleep!
- The large modern bathroom with a spacious walk-in travertine shower is shared with the second bedroom.
- The second bedroom has 2 twin beds that can be easily converted to a queen bed.
- The substantial upper floor deck has a harbor-view table and seating that is perfect for a lazy breakfast or lunch with a view.
- Private high speed internet throughout the house.
- Just 40 steps from the beach and shallow, turquoise harbor. We have 2 kayaks, a stand up paddleboard and many floaties for you to enjoy.
Please note:
- No guests under the age of 13. Maximum of 4 guests.
- Car rental companies will not rent to anyone under 25 years old.
- The house is supplied with 2 masks, snorkels and fins, but if you're serious about snorkeling/free diving it's worth bringing your own equipment that fits perfectly.
- Eleuthera is the real deal! If you are looking for a sanitized Atlantis-type Bahamian experience this is not the island for you. Even quaint little Harbour Island will be busy/noisy in comparison to Eleuthera. If you love nature and wildlife, clear water, beaches without footprints, a little live music, genuine and friendly locals... you will find a piece of paradise here!
- A number of grocery stores now also take credit cards and have a lot of what you'll need - unless you have specific dietary requirements. Prices are higher than in the States though. Please ask what's worth bringing with you and what isn't.
The main bathroom is shared between the two bedrooms, en suite for both, and each door can be locked.
This is a tropical island with tropical insects, depending on season and rainfall. Please consider using insect repellent for your comfort. All windows are fitted with insect screen.
Great snorkeling, kayaking and bonefishing will be right on your doorstep - the sandy beach is 40 steps from the house. Romantic Harbour Island for fine dining and shoulder-rubbing with celebrities is 30 minutes away, and is also a great starting point for your scuba diving and deep sea fishing excursions. Multiple deserted beaches and famous local attractions such as the Sapphire Blue Hole, Queens Baths, Preacher's Cave, Surfer's Beach, Hatchet Bay Caves, and Glass Window Bridge are all within a 20 minute drive of Whale Point, as is Gregory Town, home of the annual world-famous Pineapple Fest. Also close by are some great bars and restaurants such as Daddy Joes, The Cove and many more. If you can't live without your sports, ask Tiffany to find your favorite team on TV at the Daddy Joes bar.
2 inflatable kayaks (210lb capacity) an SUP, and 2 sets of snorkel gear are included with the rental. Paddle boards are available to hire. The owner will gladly help you with arranging excursions such as day sailing charters, swimming with pigs, surf lessons, eco tours, as well as all manner of local knowledge.
Whale Point is a quiet retreat with empty beaches, and inquisitive tourists are kept at bay by bumpy access down a long dirt road. A small SUV car rental or similar is recommended, plenty take credit cards. Taxis to local attractions and for airport transfers, as well as water taxis to Harbour Island can be arranged.
Please note that base price is for 2 guests and each additional guest is charged at $25pp per night.

Summary: The house is spacious with modern amenities, perfect for some relaxing days exploring Eleuthera, Dunmore Town or Spanish Wells. We spent our days along the water either snorkeling in the bay or beach combing on the pink sand beaches. Swimming with the fish and turtles were definitely a highlight ( steps from the access to the bay). Stargazing on the rooftop deck was the perfect way to end the day.

Summary: House in wonderful location for quiet get-away. Small private beach, kayak, and snorkel near front door. Home very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Wrap around decks on each floor of home w comfortable seating and beautiful views of ocean. If there are supplies etc. you can't do without, bring it - very limited options on island. Great local seafood and people!

Summary: K and I spent a week at Lazy Turtle in August. It was fantastic in every way!! Our questions were answered promptly before we arrived and we were checked on during our stay to ensure everything was good. The home was beautiful in a secluded area just steps away from the water. There was nothing we needed that the home did not have. We enjoyed the porches and rooftop deck and enjoyed taking the kayaks in the canal and around the bay. The bay is home to many turtles. Also saw sting ray and starfish. No need for an excursion to see them. Would we stay at Lazy Turtle again: absolutely!!

Summary: This property and the owners of it are nothing but perfect. The pictures in the listing, as beautiful as they are, don't do this place justice. We spent ten days of peaceful bliss at this beautiful house and could not have wanted anything more perfect. There is no one for over a quarter mile in any direction except for turtles, fish and stingrays. The hosts were extremely helpful anytime my wife or I had any questions or needed any suggestions. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Summary: What a great spot !

Summary: I would like to thank Mark and Susan for providing not only us but everyone who has shared the experience at such a special place to stay while visiting Eleuthera. More importantly I would like to thank Susan for the assistance and over the top care, insight and knowledge she was able to provide us as we arrived as fairly severe weather was hitting the island. She's truly a remarkable and genuinely great person. So again, thank you so very much Susan! The home as well as the entire property are truly a gem. Comfortable, clean, relaxing, tasteful, and meticulously cared for in every manner. The use of space, decor, the outdoor living areas, and every last inch of the home were well thought out and well executed. To truly experience the property, you'll want to spend time there as the wildlife, harbor and tidal shifts provided constant trips of curiosity to the waterfront which is only a few steps from the front porch. You'll likely see turtles, and possibly a Ray or two as well. For first timers considering a trip to the island, there is a saying you should likely consider. 'Eleuthera, it's not for everyone!' It seriously may not be for you as well. Do your research and perform your due diligence about the island. If Eleuthera is for you and your family I couldn't suggest a better place, with better hosts to stay with than Mark and Susan from the Lazy Turtle. As for our family... Eleuthera is for us, as is the Lazy Turtle. I miss it already.

Summary: Out of all the rental properties myself and my wife have visited, the Turtle House is at the top of our list. From the moment we booked, our host/hosts were immediately helpful, responsive, and considerate of our needs and questions. I never factored in the importance of a truly gracious host, but boy did this property change my thinking. Mark, the primary host listed for this property, was traveling during our stay, and we had the delight of being greeted by his partner/wife Susan. She was by far the most accommodating and personable person that we have ever met in regards to out of country traveling accommodations. Both Susan, and Mark, went out of their way to ensure we had the knowledge, confidence, and insight, to explore Eleuthera as if it was our own familiar stomping grounds. Coming to the Bahamas, or any country outside your own can be an intimidating experience at first. Let me just say, any and all queries or concerns were IMMEDIATELY resolved. The home was so clean, you could eat dinner off of the floor. The property so perfectly nestled amongst the palms and greenery, that you feel as though you are lost in the jungle (in only the best of ways). Their private beach, and rooftop deck offer the best view of the sunset that you could imagine, with gin clear waters just beyond your doorstep. Don’t bother booking a turtle excursion, as less than 500ft down the beach is a literal sea turtle sanctuary, where dozens of turtles call their happy home. The perfect stay.

Summary: We stayed in the Lazy Turtle with our two daughters, 14 and 16, and we loved it! It's quite exciting to drive the access road for the first time - it's rough and you wonder where it will lead you. In fact - into paradise. The house is surrounded by verdant plants and the palm trees rustle in the wind. The Lazy Turtle itself is awesome: The porches are visually beautiful and at the same time very comfortable for sitting there in the shadow and getting a little wind around your nose. The roof-deck is just amazing - especially when laying in the hammock or looking directly to the turquoise ocean. Inside you see so many examples for perfect joinery and other handicraft: It makes the house unique, beautiful and very comfortable. It ist also a great joy to cook in the kitchen. The beds are comfy and waking up and looking right to the ocean is without words. Although we normally don't like AC very much because of its energy consumption and noise we were grateful to have it since it was really hot and humid. As we had a precise control of the AC it was neither too cold nor too noisy, just pleasant. The bay and its clear and very warm water ist literally only a few steps away and is brilliant for swimming, snorkeling or kayaking. Before we came here I couldn't believe that we will actually see turtles in the water, just swimming by. But it's true. You can enjoy and observe the turtles with a calm conscience because you don't need to book any questionable tour or feed them.
