The View at Surfer's Beach (Upper Unit Only)
Clean and brand new custom built cottage overlooking the world famous Surfer's Beach! Wake up in the morning, walk out onto the large deck and check the surf while you have a coffee, or just look out the window and check it from there :)
If you're planning to surf, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY! It will save you time and lots of energy in hiking your board to the beach. Also, you'll know if the waves are good from the tremendous view on the deck.
The cottage is up on pilings and out of the bush. This is an incredible advantage over any ground level place on Eleuthera when it comes to biting bugs. Also, it is on the Oceanside and this makes a huge difference when you sit outside on the deck for hours and take in The View!
The retro style hurricane shutters allow for maximum airflow, that combined with a high house elevation, help you to enjoy the refreshing trade winds of The Bahamas. There are also ceiling fans in each room if you feel the need this is why the AC will be removed for your comfort from Oct-April.
This is the upstairs unit of a 2 unit cottage. One of the 2 bedrooms is a studio flat. Not to worry, both units are completely independent of each other with separate entrances and are self sufficient. If you have more than 4 people in your group, you can book the downstairs unit for up to 2 more people and share the entire cottage if it is available.
There is plenty of parking for large groups and get togethers.
Next door you will find an adventure tour company where you can book tours of the island, get surfing lessons and rent beach equipment such as surfboards, kayaks, body boards etc.

NO RESPONSE FROM OWNER
We stayed at View at Surfers Beach for 6 nights in January 2018. Immediately we ran into a problem with this rental. The arrival information that was sent to us about meeting the person who would take us to the property was incorrect. The information stated where to meet, and even enjoy a complimentary cocktail to start our vacation. The meeting place was not only closed but boarded shut! At 4:00, our arrival time, the time stated in the arrival info, we had no person to greet us or take us the house as stated on the info page. We were stranded in Gregory Town with only the name of Franco (the caretaker) as our one piece of information. We went from shop to shop to restaurant to bar looking for someone who could find the caretaker called "Franco." But our biggest complaint is that I also called and email the owner, Eric Dangler, over and over for hours as we wandered all through the town. We were able to find the house on our own hoping to find it either open for us, or that the owner would have the caretaker there to meet us. No one was there, no one showed up and the place was locked. It was now several hours later and it was dark. No return calls and no keys to get in. We returned to town (GT) and had dinner. No return calls. Finally we had no choice but to rent a room for our first night (at the Surfers Manor for $132.00) in what should have been View at Surfers Beach. We paid for our hotel room and settled in for the night, using the room and its facilities. Later that evening while walking up to the main lobby of Surfers Manor we met, by accident, Franco who finally located us. We explained that due to the late hour and more importantly we already used the room (that we paid for and could not honestly request a refund) we would take the keys and go to View at Surfers Beach ourselves the next morning.
Our complaint is not that mixups happen, but that we had no contact that night other than one brief email in the evening to say France was probably on his way or at the house,. No apologies, no concern for our scrambling. No response the next day or EVER from the owner. After calling the owner numerous times once we got home we received NO emails, NO return phone calls from the owner, Eric Dangler. That is just poor business manners.
While there all electric wall outlets did not work, twice.
The house is very simply, and basically stocked for example 2 towels only. No beach towels. 1 kitchen hand towel.
It was clean.
