Tarpum Bay House | By The Sea - Beach paradise, newly renovated & furnished

3 Bedroom House in Tarpum Bay

Located directly on the Caribbean Sea, By The Sea Cottage is a tranquil oasis. The house was renovated from top to bottom in the summer and fall of 2018 for us to use as our own, and rent selectively. Having rented numerous houses on the island before buying, we know exactly what amenities visitors will appreciate. The house has all indoor and outdoor amenities, including fast WIFI, Smart TV, laundry and air conditioning in all rooms. This house is ideal for 2 couples or a family that is looking for a quiet getaway.
Main floor: Large open plan living, dining & kitchen, with panoramic views of the sea. 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are also on the main floor. Dining table seats up to 8. 2 sets living room french doors open onto the sea facing deck. With windows on all sides in the living, dining & kitchen area, enjoy the morning sun and the afternoon glow, and open the windows to enjoy the gentle cross breeze all day. Each bedroom has its own air conditioner
Kitchen: stainless steel fridge, stove, micro and dishwasher. Cabinets are handmade on the island, with granite countertops. Seating for 3 at the kitchen bar. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need to make great dinners, cocktails, etc, just like home.
Bedroom #1: King bed, ensuite bathroom with large shower. The bathroom has a second door to the outside hall to main area, and is accessible by bedroom #2. Shelving and hanging storage in the closet.
Bedroom #2: Queen bed, french doors that open out to view of Caribbean Sea. Shelving and hanging storage in the closet.
Bedroom #3; a second floor open plan, loft style room with 4 beds and storage for each.
This is perfect for kids or teens, who want to hang out in their own space, with a WIFI enabled TV. There is a ensuite bathroom with a great shower. Separate air conditioner.
Outdoor living: A large sea facing deck surrounds 2 sides of the house, with walkway towards the beach. Outdoor dining table for 8, with sun canopy. Adirondack chairs, folding beach chairs and awesome hammock. There is also an outdoor shower, great for washing off salt and sand. We have built a 10X16ft deck at the edge of the beach, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon cocktail while watching the fish jump and the sun setting.
Beach: An excellent shelling beach, and the sand stretches out hundreds of feet, and extends uninterrupted all the way south to Tarpum Bay. The water is very accessible, and great for young children, snorkelers and those that like to swim or float around without too much wave action.
The Area: Tarpum Bay is a sleepy, historic Bahamian seaside settlement (town), about 1 mile south of the house. The local residents are exceptionally friendly, and are always offering you a greeting. There are 2 grocery stores, a very good hardware store with gas station, and several small restaurants/eating establishments facing the water. Try the Conch Salad or go to the pier and buy a fish or lobster for dinner! Rock Sound is a 10 minute drive to the South, where you ll find a large grocery store, several liquor stores and a few very good restaurants (Sammys, Frigates, Wild Orchids). The main settlement of Governors Harbour is 25 minutes north, with groceries, liquor and a number of great eating spots (1648, Tippys, Friday Night Fish Fry, Da Perk, Buccaneer Club and Pammys Takeaway). The Island has many world class beaches, snorkelling and things to explore, and you’ll never run out of things to do.
Car: You will require a car on Eleuthera, no matter where you stay. It is a long narrow Island, and a car is a necessary convenience. We have an arrangement with a very reputable rental firm, and we use them ourselves each time we visit. When you land on the Island, the car will be waiting for you at the airport, and simply leave it in the airport lot when you leave. We can put you in touch.
Caretaker: We have a full-time caretaker, who is a phone call away if there are any questions or issues with the house. He lives just just down the road, and was the contractor who completed the recent renovation.
