About this property

Two Dunes - Secluded Beach At Your Door

Relax to the sound of the surf at your doorstep in this private, open concept couples retreat.

Two Dunes is luxuriously secluded, situated as the only house on a mile of powder-soft pink sand beach. With floor to ceiling windows filling the walls and multiple walk-outs, you are immersed in a stunning ocean view from both inside and out. A huge deck surrounds the house, equipped with sun beds, picnic table and loungers front and back for true outdoor living. Step off the deck, onto the sand and right into the clear turquoise water. No need to pack a beach bag! The covered terrace provides shade and lovely views from its position elevated above the beach. The private outdoor shower provides a refreshing cleanse while gazing at the surf.

The second house is private space and is never occupied when Two Dunes is rented.

Explore the reefs just offshore in the clear-bottomed kayak and bring your snorkels. The swimming is excellent with a nice sandy bottom just beside the house as well as a sandy bottomed 'reef pool' at low tide.

The house has a comfortable king bed with luxury linens, HDTV DVD and Media Library with 700 movies and 100 TV shows, iPod docking station, full bath, kitchen equipped with high-powered blender for cocktails, Internet access, A/C and ceiling fans. Huge windows on three walls provide tons of light and spectacular ocean views. Three large doors walk out onto the terrace and deck.

Just a few minutes away is the town of Palmetto Point, which provides restaurants and stores. Also close by are many other beaches, the town of Governor's Harbour, Sky Beach Club, the airport (only 17 miles away), Island Farm and other attractions.

Directly behind the house is a picturesque inland lake with a variety of fish, plentiful bird watching opportunities and spectacular sunsets.

Pros & Cons
We stayed at Two Dunes for a week and had a nice time. Like any place, there were pros and cons. Pros: Absolutely gorgeous view from the house! Literally two walls of windows, and it was so peaceful to sit and watch the water, birds, etc. The unit was perfectly sized and appointed for two people. We loved the central location on the island, which made it easy to explore north or south. And the position of the house with the ocean on one side and the lake on the other was great. I’m a bird watcher and the variety of birds on the lake was incredible!Cons: The mattress, while newer, is REALLY firm. A mattress pad would go a long way toward alleviating soreness. The water situation… We’ve visited other Bahamas out islands before and are familiar with use of cistern water, but I will admit that the coloration of this water was a little off putting (ever so slightly yellow/brown, like very weak tea). Other places we’ve stayed with cistern water, the cisterns are usually buried so the water isn’t exposed to light. Insects… There was an abundance of super teeny tiny bugs (looked like ants, but smaller) crawling around the kitchen sink and bathroom. I totally understand that this is the tropics, and these insects were so tiny, it would be virtually impossible to keep them out. But maybe spraying more regularly would help? They were present when we arrived, and we were meticulous with cleaning, food storage, kept food waste in freezer, etc. Just something to be aware of.

Perfect Getaway!
Upon your arrival at Two Dunes you will be transported to your own private paradise! The unassuming but impeccably kept cottage sits directly on a quiet beach with spectacular views. Communication with the owner and concierge was excellent and prepared us for our "Perfect Getaway". Our only regret was not having Natasha cook us a meal, but next time we will!

Amazing retreat for two!!
This place is truly amazing! The house was perfect for the two of us on our 25th anniversary trip. The views are simply magical! There are so many fish to see while snorkeling 20 feet off this beach in front of the house. There were also two huge lobsters that we saw right in front of the house. And to say you are secluded is an understatement. The island of Eleuthera was so beautiful that pictures or words don’t do it justice. We visited 10 beaches in our week stay and they were all unique and amazing. The driving on the left side of the road was quite the experience too lol. We cant wait to return for another adventure at Two Dunes!

Two dunes
The house is right on a beautiful beach. It was not difficult to find. It is secluded so bring everything you need for the first day or two. There are grocery stores not too far but once you get there you won’t want to leave. Natasha brought us in dinner the first night and it was delicious.

Beautiful home on secluded beach
The home was extremely comfortable living on the beachfront for the week. I think the beach was perhaps the best on the island. Gorgeous sunsets from the back deck with a bottle of wine and sunrises on the front with a cup of coffee. The beach is extremely private and secluded as we saw maybe a half dozen people all week. The place comes with two ocean kayaks which were fun to use in exploring the local reefs. Also an outdoor BBQ for grilling that freshly caught fish. Kitchen is well equipped should you choose to stay in and cook your own meals. Definitely will come back again.

Two dunes stay
No jetted tub as advertised, curtains very dirty, one long power outage and two short ones (which means no water usage and had to use a bucket of water from the ocean to flush toilet). Generator never started the entire stay even though a repairman came out to fill an empty propane tank. Reported to Natasha several times and responses were slow or not at all. Enjoyed the seclusion and views and Rachel was pleasant to deal with. Felt like the property was overpriced.

This place is magical, and just keeps getting better. Updates to the interior and appliances were pleasant. Make use of Island Farms nearby - you'll want to stay here as much as possible and enjoy the privacy of your own coral pool.

Better Each Time
We thought the property was perfect last year. Well, we were wrong. Spruced up deck with some new boards, and a fresh coat of paint all around. The back porch with covering is completely redone, looked like a lot of work...everything so well done, 2 thumbs way up. We are looking forward to next year. P.S.: Thank you Natasha for helping with the rental car, best one we've had so far.

Exactly what we needed - perfection!
We had a wonderful two-week stay at Two Dunes. Everything was great and we can't imagine a better place to have stayed. Depending on your length of stay you may want to arrange a 5 gal bottle of water to be at the cottage. It was about $6. There's no real point in shopping around for rental cars - they all seem to be about the same price and Natasha was really convenient. We rented the car for 9 out of the 14 days that we were there. We had some thunderstorms and there were several days that the seas were very rough (but beautiful). We lost power on almost a daily basis (usually for less than an hour) and one time for over 16 hours. The cottage was definitely the highlight and we were quite content to sit on the deck or the couch (depending on no-seeums) and watch the water for hours. We went to Harbour Island, Spanish Wells, and Lighthouse Point. We used dune buggies for Lighthouse Point - some people that we had met said that it was one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and it did not disappoint. We've left the contact information in the Guest Book for that trip. We enjoyed Spanish Wells more than Harbour Island. The bakery in Governor's Harbour makes the best bread. Cookies at the Bakery in Tarpum Bay. Barn House Bar and Grill at Wemyss Bight for a full plate of conch fritters for only $5 and an incredible beach. Thanks Rachel and Natasha for a perfect stay - we're already making plans to come back.

Fantastic Location
My husband and I decided to spend our Christmas holiday on Eleuthera and Two Dunes was a fantastic location to just sit back and relax. Rachel was very responsive to all of my questions leading up to our stay. When we arrived, we found that the house had everything that we could need. We did experience one issue with the generator which was very quickly resolved by Natasha and we had no further issues after. The only reason I'm giving an overall 4 stars instead of 5, is that the bed is way past its lifespan and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately we woke up daily with back and neck pain and while the bed is not the highlight of the house, a good night's sleep is crucial for fully enjoying your stay. Bed aside, we loved the location and would happily stay again.

Beautiful house on the beach
This home and property are incredible for anyone that enjoys beaches and the ocean. I visited over a dozen beaches on Eleuthera and the “private beach” right in front of the house was easily the best. And if you like privacy, this is the place to stay. We barely saw a single person during our stay. Thhesunrises are incredible each morning while enjoying coffee on the porch or wine during the sunsets. The house comes with many beach amenities as well as two kayaks. I had an incredible experience kayaking in front of the house accompanied by a pod of dolphins and sea turtles. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen has all the amenities necessary should you decide to cook. A barbecue was also nice to cook the fresh fish we bought back from the local market. I would not hesitate to return again.

Exquisite
We have been to Eleuthera a number of times. This was the best by far. The house was nice and clean. The beach in front of the house is one of the best on the island and it's private! The only people we saw were a couple of people around the bend to the right of the house (when facing the house), but they didn't hang out just waded out and then left. This happened several times. We think it's because the eleuthera beach book describes a unique tidal pool there which they were looking for. However it doesn't seem to exist anymore. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip!

Beautiful Location and House
It was a pleasure to stay at the Two Dunes house. The private location is right on a pink sand beach just steps from your back door. To the left is a soft beach with an easy sandy entrance to the water and to the right are beautiful rocks. The kitchen is very well stocked to cook meals. The location is in the center of the island allowing for easy exploration of the island. Bring bug spray as this really helps at dusk and dawn on every out island. Two Dunes is on the Atlantic side so the breeze helps push the bugs away. Go to the fish market in Governor’s Harbor (GH) and purchase some fresh fish. Da Conch (Tammy’s) hut has great conch. Island Farm is close to the house and has lots of vegetables and great prices on rum. Burrow’s one stop shop has groceries and a liquor store in GH. Get some fresh Bahamian bread in GH (Hot Buns). Stop at the Rainbow Bay Inn for a bottle of BA HA MA RO liquor made locally from plants on the island. All the beaches are wonderful and Ten Bay Beach is very close and calm. The stars at night are wonderful because there is no light in the area and look for glowing bugs in the mangroves. We highly recommend two dunes for your next vacation. Rachel was an excellent host and helped us with travel arrangements. Natasha was also very helpful with directions and a rental car. We already miss Eleuthera and can’t wait to book our next trip at Two Dunes. Thank you again Rachel and Natasha for sharing this piece of paradise.

Felt Like Teenagers, Again!
Private comfortable seclusion… The location is perfect, the beach is perfect, and the deck is perfect. The kitchen was more accommodating than nearly any other VRBO listing we've stayed in, both in Eleuthera and U.S., so nice not to have to reuse the same pot cooking a single meal. The leftover condiments and spices were on point. I'll bring some Cajun and Creole spices next year to add to the tray. The salt water touched exterior, and shipwrecked yacht added charm, and warmth to an already perfect scene. Nitpick: the sofa/single bed could be replaced with a normal sofa; it was uncomfortable but in no way a deal breaker, hence the nitpick label. Can’t wait to go back in time next year!!!

Rest and Reconnect at Two Dunes
Two Dunes is exactly what we needed to relax and reconnect. The beach is beautiful and the house is full of every amenity we needed. It was nice to have a couple of condiments and spices while cooking up fresh fish and lobster as well as making lunch for the day. It was close enough to town to run and get supplies or groceries. Natasha helped us in many ways and cooked and delivered a delicious meal. Since we went on an American holiday week, the beach was quite busy compared to the other reviews I had read. Just to the north was occupied daily. I think the secret is out that it is a beautiful secluded beach. We visited several other beaches and we ended up coming back to Two Dunes. We also decided not to visit Harbor Island because we didn’t want to miss a day on our beach. We will definitely visit Eleuthera in the future and hopefully Two Dunes will be available to rent! Thanks for an unforgettable vacation , Rachel and Natasha!

Property was as described. Gorgeous gorgeous views, beautiful soft pink sand, blue ocean waters, I loved falling asleep to sound of waves crashing on rocks. Convenient to grocery stores in Tarpum Bay and Governors Harbour as well as many beaches. Bed was fabulously comfortable, kitchen well supplied for cooking in. Only recommendation would be a few new knives or a knife sharpener. Natasha was a pleasure to work with and so helpful to us. No issues with our stay, would love to stay again in future if Rachel would have us.

Heaven on Earth!!!
OMG, absolute BLISS! Let me start by saying we’ve already booked our next stay at Two Dunes. My husband and I are very spoiled when it comes to beautiful beaches (French Polynesia, Caribbean Islands, family lives on Kauai and we live just 15 minutes from a fantastic beach in Florida). That being said, NOTHING compares to the view and gorgeous water and beach of Two Dunes! Every morning when we awoke, we just could not believe our eyes at the view. Truly stunning! And then add PRIVACY to the view and WOW, just one of a kind! Now, put on top of all that, the most wonderful VRBO hostess in Rachel! Super responsive, caring and even without having met Rachel in person, we feel as if we’ve known her forever. Now add on one more layer of wonderful, the most fantastic house manager in the world, Natasha! Natasha took such fantastic care of us and we’re so very grateful to her! I truly don’t have the words to convey how appreciative we are to Rachel and Natasha. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! See you next year and every year thereafter!

We fell in love with the 'family' islands in the Bahamas after a trip to Exuma. So much so we wanted to own a beach house on one of them. After sampling several islands we decided that Eleuthera was the best for us.
