Outside, the allure of Gaulding Cay beckons, with soft powdery sand and breathtaking waters stretching as far as the eye can see. Lounge on the beachfront deck, basking in the gentle sea breeze, or explore the crystal-clear waters of the offshore island which is steps away with complimentary kayaks and snorkeling gear. For moments of serenity, retreat to the shaded beach area directly in front of the house, to swaying coconut palms or indulge in an after-swim outdoor shower amidst native flowering plants.
With amenities like super-fast Starlink WIFI with battery backup, air conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV with DVD player (but no cable TV), washer and dryer, outdoor dining area with grill, and two kayaks.

You may recognize the delightful music of our neighbor when they are practicing, please enjoy the opportunity to have this amazing experience. Please help us respect the privacy of our famous island neighbors who may happen to be celebrities as like you this is also their retreat.
While Gaulding Cay Beach, like all beaches in the Bahamas, is public and may attract tourists and locals, more often than not, you'll find its pristine sands and crystalline waters blissfully deserted, offering you a slice of paradise all to yourself. As the beach access road is beside Moonflower, cars may park there and enjoy the beach, particularly on weekends and local holidays.
Experience the magic of Eleuthera at Moonflower, where every moment is a celebration of sun, sand, and sea. Whether you're planning a family getaway or a dream wedding on the beach, let the stunning location of Moonflower capture your heart and be your oasis of peace and tranquility in paradise.

Eric W. from Columbia, Ky United States recommends this vacation rental.
Beautiful, spacious and well appointed house on our absolute favorite beach in Eleuthera. Easy and clear check in process. Well provisioned kitchen, AC & internet worked well. Bedrooms were great and was nice to have 3 full baths. Kayaks, water toys, beach towels/chairs are a nice touch. Water pressure was a little low at times, but if you're worried about that, you probably shouldn't be on Eleuthera anyway. Snorkeling Gaulding Cay is always awesome and was a daily activity for us. Overall, the house exceeded our expectations and the description provided.
Owner and housekeeper were an absolute pleasure to deal with and their communication was always timely and on point.
This is a very desirable location and there are sometimes tourists and locals alike who parked beside the house to access the beach. We enjoyed meeting and talking with them all. But most of the time you have the beach to yourself.
Overall an amazing stay, and we certainly hope to visit Moonflower again!
Great spot in perfect location.

We had the best time staying at Moonflower. The house has many bedrooms and a very comfortable living/kitchen area. We had 4 children and 4 adults and all felt like we had plenty of space. You cannot beat the location - close to everything in Gregory Town and located on the most beautiful beach - Gaulding Cay. Very clean with great amenities. Caretakers were super responsive and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.

Barbara M. from Durham, NC United States recommends this vacation rental.
Moonflower was perfect for our family of two couples, two young children, and one single son. When we checked in it was exceptionally clean. The beds & bedding were comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of dishware, and the layout & location could not be better. You can walk right out to the beach in seconds and watch the sunset from the side porch. Do be aware that things like dishwashers and electricity don't always work perfectly in the Bahamas. And while we enjoyed many quiet times with no or few people on the beach, on two out of our 10 evenings there were parties in the parking area/pine grove which is between the house and beach. Fortunately, the participants were well behaved and left after the sun set. This is a wonderful place for children who enjoy sand and water activities. And for adults, too. We enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking in the calm, clear water while the kids loved being in their floats. Moonflower, Gaulding Cay, and Eleuthera are paradise!

A guest from Lawrence, KS US recommends this vacation rental.
Rough start with issues with electricity and water. It was resolved by the end of the day. We absolutely loved the location of the Moonflower. Gaulding Cay was our favorite beach. We enjoyed a day trip to Harbor Island. The Beaches of Eleuthera book at the house was very helpful, we visited quite a few of the top ranked beaches and loved them. The house was average clean. We did have issues with mice. We had a bag of chips closed on the countertop that got chewed on, so we put all our food in the refrigerator and were very prompt to take out the trash. We did end up catching mice in the bottom of our trash can. The island is not heavy with tourists. Many times we had beaches to ourselves. The WIFi was spotty and we didn’t find anything on TV which our teenagers didn’t enjoy, but it was actually not a bad thing if you are looking to “unplug”.
Manager Responded on 7/29/2023
We are sorry about the power outage that happened on your arrival day, but we are glad we were able to get everything worked out that day. Regarding mice, we do wish you had notified us. We (the owners) are at the property this week and have not seen any evidence of mice. We will bring in pest control services anyway, just to be sure.

Absolute Paradise. Walk out the front door and you're at Small Bay Beach. It's so shallow even our toddlers could enjoy walking the beach.
The house has everything. It's the most well stocked kitchen I've seen. It has any dish, utensil or pan you could ever want. There are stacks of beach towels too. The beds are comfy. Communication with Christine, the property manager was great. She is very responsive. We would stay here again. Loved every minute.

The house is large and comfortable and very clean and is located on the most beautiful beach I have visited in Eluthera. I wish I never had to leave and all my guests felt the same way. Lovely decor, comfortable rooms and beds, excellent air conditioning, big kitchen and an outdoor shower..what else do you need? Lady Di is an absolute delight and so are her sauces and jellies, don’t miss trying them! We will be back for sure!!

Jason L. from Cullman, Al United States recommends this vacation rental.
We flew into North Eleuthera and had a rental car waiting. We stopped for groceries in our way. When we arrived at the house, we were greeted by Lady Di who showed us around. The house was perfect and it was right on the beach. The AC was nice and cool. We swam everyday and went snorkeling around Gaulding Cay which was surrounded by tropical fish, starfish and rays. This was the perfect quiet family vacation. We chartered a boat one day with Captain Ryan for a day and went fishing and sight seeing and snorkeling around the island. There is a TV DVD player at the house but there is not an HDMI plug into TV and there is no Satellite. WiFi at the house is a bit spotty and the DVD player does not play Blue Ray. If you want to watch anything on TV bring it on DVD. The house comes with a 5 gallon water cooler and 5 gallons of water. We plan on going back next year!

We spent a fantastic week at Moonflower. The location/setting was great. Our party included our 17-month old grandson. What a great beach for him. No waves-just clear, warm, shallow water to play in. The house itself was great with A/C in each bedroom and in living areas. We enjoyed the benefits of having a grill in the backyard and a washer/dryer available for our use.
We will be back!!

Martin D. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
My stay at Moonflower was wonderful. The location is amazing as it is steps away from the beautiful white sands and turquoise waters of the the tranquil Caribbean sea. The home is within a short drive to several restaurants and stores, although the location is rural and tucked away off the main road, so you feel as though you're on your own private piece of paradise. The gardens around the home are lovely and are great for leisurely walks and relaxing. The home itself is beautiful and is decorated with bright, cheerful art and furniture. It is very spacious with a light, airy feel. There are lovely views from every window and opening them to let in the ocean breezes is amazing. The porches are a perfect place to relax, read, or enjoy a snack. The home is fully stocked with everything you'd need - from towels and linens, to dishes and cookware, to books and local activity guides, etc... The 4 bedrooms are comfortable and can accommodate quite a few guests. The kitchen is great for cooking and the large dining area easily hosts a large family/group. The living room is cozy and opens to beautiful views of the sandy beach and water. The location is very safe and the grounds are the perfect area for children to go outside to play and freely explore nature. If you are looking for a location to escape the busyness/noise/stress of city life while relaxing in a tropical paradise, this home is the perfect place.

krista y. from Harrington, QC Canada recommends this vacation rental.
We, along with another family, rented Moonflower for a week in July. The only negative, it wasn’t long enough! We were 4 adults and 5 kids and I can say we were never felt like we were on top of each other. There was tons of room and the layout of the house is perfect for accommodating bigger groups very comfortably. Lady Di was great, and made our arrival memorable. The house is breathtaking and spotless! . The location is also beyond perfect. We have been to the Bahamas a few times now and Gaulding Cay beach is quite possibly the best beach I’ve seen yet. Absolutely calendar perfect, and ideal for kids seeing it remains shallow for hundreds of feet. At low tide you can actually walk cove to cove. The snorkeling is awesome too! Daddy Joe’s is a fantastic little restaurant across the main road , fabulous food, drinks, and people! The Bahamian people are reason enough to visit these quiet islands, you would be hard pressed to find a more welcoming people anywhere! We cannot recommend Geeta’s Moonflower enough, if you are looking for laid back, peaceful, and breathtaking then this house, and Eleuthera, are for you!

Pamela B. from Warrington, PA US recommends this vacation rental.
The Moonflower was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Directions to the house were accurate and easy to follow. The pictures and description list was accurate. The grill apparently takes charcoal, not agas grill as listed. That's something we hadn't planned on but could have bought charcoal at the grocery store if we'd have known we needed. I contacted Lady Di a couple times during our stay and she was quick to respond. We did see locals hanging out on the public beach in front of our house and none of them was an issue. From reading other reviews we learned to expect this. That was ok with us, a few people per day came. There are several neighbors who own dogs and they play on the beach and are all very friendly. I was able to drag a straight back chair down to the beach to enjoy my morning coffee. All the other lounge chairs and recliners on the property (front porch, side of house, and far back end of property under a gazebo) are chained down and locked with padlocks so I couldn't move any of them. I have never stayed anywhere before where furniture was chained down, from expensive rental house on many different islands to 5 star hotels. For an island that boasts near 0% crime rate, the message that chained up furniture sends is that this is not a safe place. It wasn't just inconvenient. I don't suppose it mattered because there weren't any cushions for any of the chairs to be found. It was very appreciated that there was plenty of snorkel equipment available so we cleaned some of it off and used it and also really appreciated that two beautiful kayaks were sitting on the front lawn ready for us! We used the kayaks and really enjoyed them in the calm turquoise waters right in front of the house. Next time we are on Eleuthera we would definitely consider staying at the Moonflower again.
Manager Responded on 8/4/2022
As is frequent in resorts and rental properties, we have secured the four pink heavy Adirondack chairs and the two white and two wooden loungers because otherwise all of this heavy furniture gets constantly moved and left down at the ocean causing damage and making it very difficult to bring back up for the next guests. It also prevents these chairs from moving around in case of heavy winds or a hurricane. There is plenty of outdoor furniture and other beach chairs for guests to move around as they wish. There are eight aqua outdoor chairs, an entire wicker settee sofa set with cushions, plastic dining chairs, and additional beach chairs, none of which are secured. We welcome everyone to Moonflower and wish all of our guests a wonderful comfortable stay.

Markus B. from Pittsford, NY US recommends this vacation rental.
We had the most relaxing vacation ever. The Kids could walk into the shallow, clear waters in the calm Gaulding Bay. We snorkeled basically straight from the beach outside the house over to the island. Comfy home, spectacular location, and the personal touch from Lady Di (delicious home-made jam and pepper sauce, fresh bananas and papayas right off her farm ) made for a truly memorable experience. We were nine people (5 of them kids, ranging an ages from 5 to 15) and everyone had plenty of space. Bring books and games (leave the TV and wireless devices off) and unplug totally. You won’t regret it. We would love to be back in the future!

Moonflower is a very spacious home and it slept our party of 9 very well and everyone had plenty of personal space. It was a short 30 second stroll from front door to toes in the sand. Gaulding Cay Beach is stunning and we shared it with just a few people during our stay. The locals like to use the beach and everyone of them were great people. We found a large conch and a couple locals cleaned it up for us and they were awesome to the kids. Moonflower is a short drive to many other beautiful beaches. We got our fuel and food from Seven Eleven in Gregory Town just a 10 minute drive away. Also, had a beautiful breakfast at The Cove Resort a short 5 minute drive away. Moonflower has everything you need for a great vacation. We enjoyed the kayak, paddle board, and other beach toys that come with the house. I wish the home would have advertised a paddle board because I shipped mine from California for a pricey fee :( I would of definitely left it at home had I known. The A/C ran great and we were very comfortable. Plenty of kitchen accessories for cooking yourself and saving some money. We found everything we needed. Lady Di was awesome!! She took good care of us and was such a blast to chat with. We purchased many of her jams and hot sauces to take home. Amazing....The owner Geeta was so nice and professional every time we communicated via email. As well, the staff at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals was spot on too... Eleuthera is a special place and I hope to make it back there some day. Our trip was one to remember and I highly recommend Moonflower and Eleuthera...Happy Travels!

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Moonflower. We're so sorry you had to ship your paddle board. As you now know, we had no idea the house had one until you told us. The caretaker found it on the beach and left it with our kayaks, probably not realizing what a valuable amenity it is. But we have now added it to our web ads so future guests, thanks to you, will know to expect a paddle board. It was a pleasure having you at Moonflower house. Come back soon!

A guest from Remer, Minnesota United States recommends this vacation rental.
A beautiful home on a beautiful beach on an outstanding island best describes Moonflower. We have stayed in many other rentals on Eleuthera and this one is our favorite. We found our caretaker "Lady Di" to be quick to address any concerns and share with us her wonderful Pineapple Jam and Hot Sauce to boot! The folks in Gregory Town are the best and we look forward to our visit next year!

Rupert R. from Saffron Walden, XX United Kingdom recommends this vacation rental.
Eleuthera has a very chilled vibe, people very friendly, children unfailingly polite, very few tourists although it was the end of the season when we visited. Beaches are beautiful. If you want to get away from it all, whilst still having access to civilisation you cant do much better than Eleuthera. Food is expensive,approximately 2 x prices in UK, and don't expect the choice you might be used to at home. Moonflower itself is suited to the overall feeling of the island, very relaxed, plenty of room, comfortable and nicely appointed without being blingy. There were a few things which could do with updating / replacing but nothing serious. There is a decent sized garden surrounding the house, but you will spend all your time on the beach which is really beautiful. The water is shallow, crystal clear and sheltered from the prevailing wind. If you like to snorkel, Gaulding Cay is nice, we saw Nassau Groupers, a big snapper, a huge eagle ray, schools of Blue Runners, angel fish, and big shoals of silversides. There isn't much coral but what there is is in good condition. Twin Sisters beach to the North also has a couple of Cays, also good snorkelling and we saw lobster, puffer fish and moray eels on both. The best snorkelling is to the South - take the canoes past Kravitz beach, a small rock breaks the surface at the end of the cliffs. From here onwards it's really good - massive rays, morays, turtles, nice coral. Other good things - the Sapphire Hole about 1/2 mile on the right before you reach Preachers Caves, great fun. Harbour Island - golf carts, cracked conch and beer on the beach. Daddy Joes restaurant. Breakfast at the Cove ($25 per head relatively good value). All the beaches. Lady Di and her lovely family. Great memories.

Shannon W. from Villa Rica, GA Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed at Moonflower over spring break this year. There were 2 families, both with kids, and the house was perfect. The adults stayed in the rooms on each end of the house, with their own bathrooms and the kids stayed in the middle 2 rooms, with a bath that they shared. We caught fresh fish and the kitchen had everything we needed to create many delicious meals at the home. We snorkeled everyday (bring your gear!) and the beach in the backyard was breath taking, so many beautiful fish and water that will take your breath away! The water is very shallow and therefore is great for kids and floating in a float! There are only a few houses along the beach so it was very private. The house has a wonderful living room and everyone had plenty of space to relax. We played games and puzzles on the large dining room table and the washer and dryer were a life saver. The island of Eleuthra is such a natural beauty, we explored from north to south and each day was amazing! We all agreed that this was the best trip we have ever taken.

John O. from Spencer, WI United States recommends this vacation rental.
Everything was good except the beach in front of our house is also a public access beach and there were quite a few people there which is the opposite of what we look for and the reason we choose outer islands
It was fabulous!!!

We had such a wonderful time, the beach is beautiful, the island is such a nice getaway for a family with young children, and the house was perfect for two families of 4 and 3. We can’t wait to come back!
