Overview & Photos
Welcome to Palm Bluff, an extraordinary 2-bedroom, 1-bath sanctuary perched upon a breathtaking seaside cliff just 5 minutes south of Gregory Town, Eleuthera, Bahamas. Revel in the unparalleled privacy of this exquisite retreat, where no visible neighbors and no other rental properties on-site promise a truly exclusive escape.
Boasting three sets of elegant mahogany French doors, Palm Bluff unveils a spacious front porch suspended 45 feet above the mesmerizing Caribbean Sea. Be it on the porch or within the house, stunning views of the water surround you at every turn.
Embrace your adventurous spirit by descending the concrete steps – artistically carved through the limestone cliff – to explore the calm waters below. Experience phenomenal snorkeling amidst an underwater wonderland teeming with tropical fish.
Four lounge chairs invite relaxation, whether you prefer shaded tranquility on the porch or sun-soaked leisure on the adjacent concrete deck. Additionally, two aluminum folding beach chairs accompany you on beach outings or daily excursions. After a day of sun and sand, rejuvenate under the outdoor shower (cool water only) with a captivating view of the sea.
Each tastefully-appointed bedroom features a serene, ultra-quiet AC unit and ceiling fan, while an additional AC unit cools the living room and kitchen, complemented by more ceiling fans. The stylish bathroom showcases a rainwater shower, a spacious sink vanity, and exquisite Cuban tile flooring. The kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink.
Palm Bluff provides bedding, towels, beach towels, and a fully-equipped kitchen. A washer and dryer are available in the adjoining laundry shed. Enjoy pure drinking water from the reverse osmosis (RO) system in the kitchen, perfect for consumption, cooking, and ice-making. While there is no TV, Wi-Fi is available to keep you connected.
Our dedicated caretaker, who lives just 5 minutes away, is readily available to assist with any questions or concerns during your stay. Additional maid services can be arranged for an extra fee.
Palm Bluff's exceptional location offers an extraordinary experience, with the cliffs and the gentle Caribbean breeze providing a unique Bahamian ambiance. Discover the world-famous Surfer's Beach, just one mile away on the Atlantic Ocean side, and experience Gregory Town's charming convenience stores, local eateries, fine dining, and friendly residents, a short 5-minute drive away.
A car is essential for exploring the island, and given the rugged terrain, we highly recommend an SUV with higher ground clearance. We can provide contacts for local car rentals, ensuring seamless pickup and drop-off at the airport. Palm Bluff is equidistant from North Eleuthera Airport (ELH) and Governor's Harbour Airport (GHB), each 30 minutes away.
Experience excellent bottom-fishing and deep-sea charter options in Gregory Town, or embark on a 30-minute drive to the water taxi dock for access to the captivating Harbour Island.
Escape to Palm Bluff – an unmatched, romantic hideaway where the enchanting Eleuthera, Bahamas, truly unfolds before you.

Ryan S. from Fort Lauderdale, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
Perfect place! Majestic & private location. Amazing sunsets as well as phenomenal star gazing. Within 30 minutes of almost everything you could want (restaurants, grocery, airport, etc). House is very well appointed in every room and all furniture is SUPER comfortable. Outdoor space is great with lots of lounge areas and convenient outdoor shower. Caretaker Tenielle is super responsive and helpful. Bluetooth stereo for easy music connection/ambiance. Water filter for those who don't want to bury the planet in millions more plastic bottles. Relaxing and comfortable stay overall; couldn't ask for much more, TBH.

A guest from Spring Branch, TX US recommends this vacation rental.
This was such a great experience. We came for our 5th Wedding Anniversary and the property and the Island did not disappoint. The property is beautiful, quite and secluded. The oceans views get you to stay here but let me tell you, the views of the stars will get you to return.
No issues with the rental other than some minor wear and tear issues.
You definitely need an SUV as the owner suggests.

Mendy A. from Cedar Key, FL US recommends this vacation rental.
This place is incredible. We love this part of the island, so much to do and see. The house is clean and well stocked with kitchen, easy laundry, and very comfortable. Easy to cook your own meals and they have the bowls, cutlery, and essentials to create great food. AC works great in each room.
However, the porch and view are the show stopper. We did not want to leave. The place is probably the best place we have ever stayed in the Bahamas.
The road it is rough but it's not long, and if you take it slow it's easy to do in a regular car. Not a major problem at all. We will be back!

Jim N. from Bloomington, IL United States recommends this vacation rental.
Locating a well-maintained, attractive small cottage on Eleuthera is sometimes difficult. This property checked all the boxes for us: private, quiet, views, good amenities, unique location, and competitively priced. One of the most unique features that may or may not appeal to guests is the access to the water. Definitely not for small children. But we thoroughly enjoyed plunging into the sea from the diving platform. Sitting on the deck feels like to you on the bridge of a ocean liner with expansive west views.

A guest from Tahlequah, OK US recommends this vacation rental.
The rental was as described and the view was beautiful. The house was great for 4 friends. The only comment would be that this house is not for anyone that has any type of mobility issues as there are lots of steps and a long walkway uphill from the house. Beautiful rental and highly recommend.

Chris K. from Vienna, VA United States recommends this vacation rental.
Overall we had a great week at Palm Bluff. House was as described including the rough road in. GPS worked to find the house despite the road not being marked with a sign. As we discovered during the week, many things on the island aren’t terribly well marked. Home is set up very nicely and amenities were good. Would recommend some nonstick cookware and a blender( Tropical Island, Frizen Drinks?). The stairs down to the water are very cool but the ladder is kind of sketchy. Looks like it had just been recently built but bolts were loose. I doubt if it will last one good storm. Original house listing said there would be a couple of beach chairs and a cooler for day trips. Didn’t exist. We found the described beach towels in a hamper by the coffee table after a couple of days. Caretaker told us that the towels in the bathroom were also beach towels and he said he’d check on mom working ceiling fans in the main room but never did. Still we had an enjoyable trip. Not sure if we’d do it again but it was a fun experience

Ann B. from kingston, MA US recommends this vacation rental.
Palm Bluff is an absolutely stunning place to stay. The views are amazing, the house is adorable. Eleuthera has the most beautiful beaches I have seen. Across the road at surfer’s beach we found some nice seashells. The house had everything we needed, we cooked some dinners at home. The house was very clean when we arrived and the property manager was very helpful.

Candace B. from Kingsport, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We made the best memories, that we will never forget! We felt like we were suspended in our own little tree house over the ocean. Our favorite thing to do each day was to come home from seeing all the beautiful beaches and jump off the “back porch” (cliff) into the ocean. The house offers complete privacy and pure bliss! Thank you!

Jenna N. from Santa rosa Beach, FL US recommends this vacation rental.
Palm Bluff home was nice and met all our needs. Dream view, the AC got the house cold at night, comfy beds, kitchen was equipped for cooking, strong Wi-Fi, books and games for your choosing.
There were not any beach chairs or cooler upon our arrival. But there were floats!
We bought some sterno cans for bug repellant and left two at the house. We would light them and sit them beside us outside and the bugs wouldn’t bother us. That’s our number 1 tip! Our other tip is if you have specific dietary needs to bring the food you need. It’s very hard to find on the island. Spanish Wells had a really nice grocery store:
Download the house instructions BEFORE YOU ARRIVE! The instructions to where the key is are in them and we were stuck for quite a while - about 2 hours with no cell service and unable to reach anyone and no way in. The information was not in the app, I do believe it was just a glitch. But just to be safe download it before you land in the Bahamas. :)

The cottage is just wonderful. The view, the patio, the living room, the matresses... We loved it! What we really missed was a (foldable?) dining table on the patio so the gorgeous sunset while eating diner outside.
The caretaker is exceptional!
Here comes the "but": the drive to the house is more than rocky! Even a 4W-drive Jeep had a HARD time managing. This really needs to be addressed.

Fantastic stay. Incredible view...very private and secluded. The bed was super comfortable. The management team was in constant communication and provided a lot of information ahead of time. They set us up with a great car rental situation. Lots of quality amenities that made our stay even better. Highly recommend and will book next year again.

Martin R. from Irvine, NA Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
Our week stay at Palm Bluff, was spectacular. It by far exceeded our expectations. The house was incredibly clean and all amenities worked perfectly. The morning views were inspiring and the sunsets from the porch above the cliff were breathtaking. Swimming in the blue waters of the Caribbean was out of a magazine including a dramatic cliffside entrance. The water itself was rich with fish of all kinds, and there is a gorgeous reef close by that is perfect for snorkelling. We also saw a sea turtle and a ray from the porch! We brought a SUP which gave us access to the many bays and caves that dot the shoreline here. Surfers beach is about a 10minute walk away. We rented boards and took surf lessons from Tom at Surfers Haven. It was very fun and pretty low-key. When not in the water, Gregory Town, Hatchet Bay and Governor's Harbour all had great food! The rental team was super easy to communicate with and very helpful in providing information. We tried several of the restaurants they recommended it they were amazing. The house really is stunning, well decorated and super clean. Honestly I think this is the best Airbnb I have stayed in.

Patrick M. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
There are times in your life when you take a trip you will never forget – this was one of those trips!
We had been looking forward to traveling to Eleuthera for several years and our experience more than exceeded our expectations!
This house is a perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of life and is perfectly appointed with all the amenities both required as well as wanted for any length of stay.
We enjoyed the beautiful veranda every day to watch the ocean and boats float by. Out here, you’ll feel as though you’re in your own peaceful paradise and although we ventured out every day to explore the beautiful island, we felt unbelievably comfortable in this hidden gem located high atop the cliffs.
If you’re looking for a trip of a lifetime, look no further than the beautiful island of Eleuthera!
