We have been going to Eleuthera for the past ten years, and Bica Bungalow is our new favorite place to stay for the two of us. Perfect cottage, we’ll stocked, very clean and managed a lovely host that was very accommodating and responsive. The beach was beautiful as well as the grounds and garden. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary.
