2 Bedroom House in Gregory Town, Whale Point

NEW HOUSE ON NORTH ELEUTHERA'S BEST HIDDEN TREASURE: WHALE POINT
5% DISCOUNT for stays of 7 days or more!
Lazy Turtle House is a newly built 2.5 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom villa with spectacular water views from every aspect. Located on the secluded peninsular of Whale Point, North Eleuthera, Lazy Turtle House is nestled between a pretty lagoon and a shallow, turquoise harbor where you will find some of the calmest and clearest water on the planet - brimming with sea turtles and colorful reef fish just waiting to say hello.
Lazy Turtle House features 2000 sq feet of spacious decks, both covered and uncovered, for sunbathing, ocean views, sunset cocktails, outdoor dining - everything you need to relax and recharge.
- Elegantly furnished throughout, the house is topped with a unique roof deck accessed from a 10' x 10' reading/sleeping loft. The loft has a full twin sized daybed and can be used for sleeping, although there is no direct access to the main bathroom, and no air conditioning, but there are usually good breezes, the windows have screens and there is a large ceiling fan. Please let us know if you'd like this bed made up for sleeping.
- Enjoy panoramic views and breezes with shaded seating, a sit-up bar perfect for sunset cocktails and a luxurious hammock for sunbathing and stargazing.
- The open plan ground floor has a dining table for 8, comfortable lounge chairs and a modern kitchen with breakfast bar.
- Upstairs, the master bedroom has a view to die for. The queen-size bed has a sumptuous 13" mattress for the best night's sleep!
- The large modern bathroom witha spacious walk-in travertine shower is shared with the second bedroom.
- The second bedroom has 2 twin beds that can be easily converted to a queen bed.
- The substantial upper floor deck has a harbor-view table and seating that is perfect for a lazy breakfast or lunch with a view.
- Private high speed internet throughout the house.
- Just 40 steps from the beach and shallow, turquoise harbor. We have 2 kayaks, a stand up paddleboard and many floaties for you to enjoy.
Please note:
- No guests under the age of 13. Maximum of 4 guests.
- Car rental companies will not rent to anyone under 25 years old.
- The house is supplied with 2 masks, snorkels and fins, but if you're serious about snorkeling/free diving it's worth bringing your own equipment that fits perfectly.
- Eleuthera is the real deal! If you are looking for a sanitized Atlantis-type Bahamian experience this is not the island for you. Even quaint little Harbour Island will be busy/noisy in comparison to Eleuthera. If you love nature and wildlife, clear water, beaches without footprints, a little live music, genuine and friendly locals... you will find a piece of paradise here!
- A number of grocery stores now also take credit cards and have a lot of what you'll need, unless you have specific dietary requirements. Prices are higher than in the States though. Please ask what's worth bringing with you and what isn't.
The main bathroom is shared between the two bedrooms, en suite for both, and each door can be locked.
This is a tropical island with tropical insects, depending on season and rainfall. Please consider using insect repellent for your comfort. All windows are fitted with insect screen.
Great snorkeling, kayaking and bonefishing will be right on your doorstep - the sandy beach is 40 steps from the house. Romantic Harbour Island for fine dining and shoulder-rubbing with celebrities is 30 minutes away, and is also a great starting point for your scuba diving and deep sea fishing excursions. Multiple deserted beaches and famous local attractions such as the Sapphire Blue Hole, Queens Baths, Preacher's Cave, Surfer's Beach, Hatchet Bay Caves, and Glass Window Bridge are all within a 20 minute drive of Whale Point, as is Gregory Town, home of the annual world-famous Pineapple Fest. Also close by are some great bars and restaurants such as Daddy Joes,The Cove and many more. If you can't live without your sports, ask Tiffany to find your favorite team on TV at the Daddy Joes bar.
2 inflatable kayaks (210lb capacity) an SUP, and 2 sets of snorkel gear are included with the rental. Paddle boards are available to hire. The owner will gladly help you with arranging excursions such as day sailing charters, swimming with pigs, surf lessons, eco tours, as well as all manner of local knowledge.
Whale Point is a quiet retreat with empty beaches, and inquisitive tourists are kept at bay by bumpy access down a long dirt road. A small SUV car rental or similar is recommended, plenty take credit cards. Taxis to local attractions and for airport transfers, as well as water taxis to Harbour Island can be arranged.
Please note that base price is for 2 guests and each additional guest is charged at $25pp per night.

Summary: This place is beautiful! The master bedroom is gorgeous with views of the bay, very nice to wake up too. Wrap around porch with grill outside kitchen door made for easy dinners. Upstairs porch great for coffee in morning or cocktails at night. Steps to the beach.. we seen turtles everyday! Along with sting rays, starfish and lots of fish. Beautiful sunsets! Really loved this house, Mark and Susan did an amazing job building this and you can really appreciate their attention to detail. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to family/ friends.

Summary: We didn’t know what to expect as first time visitors to the Bahamas, but the experience of staying at this beautiful home exceeded anything we imagined. This house is located centrally enough for short commutes anywhere you wanted to go (grocery store, ferry, restaurants, airport) but secluded enough that you feel far away from everything. The private beach is beautiful - we saw stingrays, starfish, and lots of turtles. You can walk a long way in the bay exploring wildlife and sea life or just float for hours enjoying the sun and calm waters. My kids were worried about not having a TV, but surprisingly, they didn’t even realize there wasn’t one. There were so many things to do and we enjoyed family time with games and puzzles. It was a true escape from our usual busy life. Last but not least, the hosts were great. Communication with Mark as we prepared was so helpful and informative. Our greeting and ongoing support from Susan during our stay was top notch. She is so helpful in explaining things about the house and things to do amongst the islands - a great resource and so kind and accommodating. Thank you Mark and Susan for a family vacation we will never forget!

Summary: We spent a week at the Lazy Turtle in the end of March and it was a fantastic experience. The house was clean, well maintained and in a lovely location, with a beautiful private beach just across the driveway and a lovely lagoon and canal in the back. We saw turtles, starfish and rays every day and loved the rooftop deck for relaxing and enjoying the sunsets and stars. Susan was amazing, making sure we were comfortable and making recommendations in the area. We could not have asked for a more relaxing vacation, and hope to return some day!

Summary: The house is spacious with modern amenities, perfect for some relaxing days exploring Eleuthera, Dunmore Town or Spanish Wells. We spent our days along the water either snorkeling in the bay or beach combing on the pink sand beaches. Swimming with the fish and turtles were definitely a highlight ( steps from the access to the bay). Stargazing on the rooftop deck was the perfect way to end the day.

Summary: House in wonderful location for quiet get-away. Small private beach, kayak, and snorkel near front door. Home very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Wrap around decks on each floor of home w comfortable seating and beautiful views of ocean. If there are supplies etc. you can't do without, bring it - very limited options on island. Great local seafood and people!

Summary: K and I spent a week at Lazy Turtle in August. It was fantastic in every way!! Our questions were answered promptly before we arrived and we were checked on during our stay to ensure everything was good. The home was beautiful in a secluded area just steps away from the water. There was nothing we needed that the home did not have. We enjoyed the porches and rooftop deck and enjoyed taking the kayaks in the canal and around the bay. The bay is home to many turtles. Also saw sting ray and starfish. No need for an excursion to see them. Would we stay at Lazy Turtle again: absolutely!!

Summary: This property and the owners of it are nothing but perfect. The pictures in the listing, as beautiful as they are, don't do this place justice. We spent ten days of peaceful bliss at this beautiful house and could not have wanted anything more perfect. There is no one for over a quarter mile in any direction except for turtles, fish and stingrays. The hosts were extremely helpful anytime my wife or I had any questions or needed any suggestions. We look forward to visiting again soon!
