Hummingbird's Balara Bay beachfront has a stretch of beach that borders the Caribbean Sea. You can walk all the way to the old docks at the far end of the bay. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for water play. Balara Bay offers our guests fishing as well as shelling for micro shells.

Summary: This is a wonderful cottage that is well stocked, organized and clean. The decor is unique and added to the tropical feel of the location, which was perfect for accessing Governor's Harbour. Stayed on the water, the tikihut was relaxing and enjoyable and my husband caught fish just down the beach. We went exploring everyday and found the cottage to be a wonderful refuge to unwind and make dinner and relax. Excellent place to have your family vacation!

Summary: Our stay was very relaxing. The house is well-equipped, and there are reminders and helpful directions taped all over (e.g., how to take care of the garbage, where things are, where to shop, etc.). The space is very secluded. The Tiki hut on the beach is wonderful—we spent a lot of time there. We had fun with the sea kayaks and saw a sea turtle and stingray. Highly rated.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay in the Stone Cottage. The accommodations are very comfortable, and Marion has thought of and supplied everything you need. We especially enjoyed morning coffee on the terrace overlooking the Caribbean and walking on the beach marveling at the tide-pools. Thank you, Marion for being such a wonderful host.

Summary: Loved the location right on the water. Very private. Over the 8 days we were there, we didn't see any other people. The water is perfect and we spent alot of time just sitting in the shallow water enjoying the sun.

Summary: We were so happy with our stay at Marion's cottage! The pictures don't do it justice. The home was lovely, comfortable, and clean. Marion was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed, which we did. We enjoyed having the shade of the Tikihut and loved walking the beach most evenings. The kayaks were fun as well! We can't wait to return!

Summary: This cottage is as cozy, comfortable and well decorated as the images show, and it’s on a beautiful location on Balara Bay. Plus, which is great for travelers, it is well stocked with a variety of miscellaneous items that come in handy if needed, but which vacationers might not carry. Little notes placed around the cottage are helpful and show the host’s caring touch and attention to detail. The kayaks and paddle boards were great to use, and seeing the sunrise & sunsets from under “The Tiki Dome” was really cool. The beachcoaming was a lot of fun and kept the girls entertained, and the guys did catch some Yellow Snapper and Grouper down by the old docks, out of the kayaks. We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Eleuthera and the cottage was in a great location.
