About this cottage rental

Nestled in North Eleuthera, this attractive cottage for $395 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. ****** more pics on Instagram @ShoreBreakBahamas and also please watch the video we have now posted on VRBO. Great drone footage of the property and surrounding area. ****** ShoreBreak cottage rises 25’ above the ocean on a dramatic cliff above perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches on Eleuthera known to locals as "Secret Beach". ShoreBreak cottage and Secret Beach are located on the Atlantic coastline of Eleuthera, 25 minutes from N. Eleuthera Airport (ELH) The cottage is a short 10 minute walk or 5 minute paddle to the larger and world famous Surfer's Beach. The quaint and authentically Bahamian Gregory Town is 2 miles to the North. All of the photos on this listing have been taken at ShoreBreak cottage and the “secret beach” below. Secret beach can only be accessed by Shorebreak and our new smaller neighboring property ShoreTing. Both houses can be rented together or independently. We don’t block access to secret beach. Life at ShoreBreak cottage is like taking a step back in time. You can plan a busy day of activities and experience the thrill of diving, snorkeling, fishing, surfing, and kayaking. Or for nature lovers, bring your Audubon nature guide book, take a walk and search for numerous varieties of butterflies and birds. Or better yet, you can choose to do nothing at all. Kick back, relax, and read a book and doze off in the afternoon with the symphony of the Atlantic lapping on the crystalline beach below. ShoreBreak cottage was created to be harmonious and respectful to its natural, untouched and exquisite surroundings. The vision for ShoreBreak was to embrace nature at its fullest and to escape the trappings of the modern world. No Television, no computer, no problem. (WiFi is available and cell phone and internet service access via international roaming).Nightly entertainment is courtesy of the Galaxy above. At ShoreBreak you enjoy quiet nights and fall asleep to the chorus of the ocean below only to dream of catching the Sunrise in the morning. Kiss the sky, smell the salt, and soak up the warmth of the sun on ShoreBreak’s oceanfront porch and deck. Just below our deck, walk down a short flight of a dozen stairs to find large boulders and unexplored caves. Direct access to this beach is limited to ShoreBreak cottage and our sister property “ShoreTing” and both properties can be rented together if available. The beach takes a shape and life of its own and consistently shifts, expands and retracts with the tide, wind and lunar cycles. We have seen the beach literally come and go for days at a time. This is the ocean and it always changes. It can be rough at times and no lifeguard on duty so one must exercise caution. And don’t forget to enjoy our outdoor shower if just for a quick rinse after coming up from the beach. ShoreBreak was built in a traditional and cozy Bahamanian style by a 3rd generation local builder who took great pride in his craft. The vernacular based outpost takes its design cues from the older gabled wood cottages on Harbour Island. White washed locally sourced cypress wraps the interior and creates a warm feel. The build was overseen by an internationally renown architect to ensure aesthetic integrity was true to form. A central living space is bookended by 2 ocean front bedrooms each with a queen bed. Both bedrooms have their own private en suite bathroom. A soaring vaulted ceiling with 2 lofts. PLEASE NOTE - the lofts are not part of the rental, only the down stairs 2 bedrooms. ShoreBreak is ideal for 2 couples or just a honeymoon for 2. The cottage is a bit reminiscent of a wooden ship and was built in the spirit of the sea, adventure, exploration and the frontier. It boasts beautiful re-purposed mahogany yacht doors and brass hardware in the bedrooms as well as portholes salvaged from a pre war passenger liner. All of the sliding doors facing the ocean were sourced from a resort in the FL Keys that no longer stands. Secret Beach is a treasure and ShoreBreak was built to be sensitive and have as minimal an impact on its natural surroundings as possible. It has the ability to alternate between both grid and solar power making it fully self sustainable. The cottage was designed to take advantage of the cooling ocean breezes, but also offers modern comforts such as AC which is in the bedrooms. We ask our guests to always be mindful of their energy consumption and water usage and to leave as minimal a footprint as possible. ShoreBreak is provisioned with your basic needs, bed sheets, towels, utensils, cooking amenities, a built in gas cooktop, full sized refrigerator, and a dining table. Or use the Weber grill and grill up some fresh lobster tails from your dive and dine al fresco on the ocean deck under the stars. Or have a local fisherman bring you the days catch. You are sure to become friendly with the beautiful and simple people that call the island home. ShoreBreak is the essence of the authentic Bahamian out island experience. This is not a resort experience. No umbrella drinks. Its a bit of living on the edge of the rugged, natural and beautiful terrain. The ocean below can be tumultuous, so use extreme caution. Thus the namesake ShoreBreak. With this said, children are not recommended unless always supervised and all guests are reminded to exercise extreme caution on the property and beach below. ShoreBreak seeks adventure travelers, star gazers, beach combers and romantics at heart. Enjoy!

We had a fantastic time at the Shorebreak house. it is simple and basic but has everything you will need to enjoy. Like many of the other more remote, Bahamian Islands Eleuthra is not a place to go, if you intend to be waited on. Things are few and far between, but the beaches are amazing and the locals are fantastic.. if you like vacations like this, I highly suggest flying over to Cat Island as well.

We had a fantastic stay at shore break. The cleaning lady had not shown up before we got there, but the owner was very quick to make it right! Short trip down a dirt road with an incredible view. The night sky is incredible as there is almost no cultural lights.

The owner provided a really good list of things to do, expectations, and contacts. His referral for rental cars (Robert Thompson) and his wife were great resources for the island. They also own a local burger place in Gregory town that is super good.

We enjoyed five nights at the property & never lost excitement of the view when we walked out on the back porch. What a stunning view! Perfectly located so that we were able to explore multiple areas of the island. The host(s) suggestions for the stay were spot on - from car rental to places to eat. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of paradise.

My wife and I stayed here with our parents for one week in January. The property is really a slice of paradise. We were able to fall asleep to the waves crashing against the rocks each night. We were lucky enough to have access to the beach because of tide/weather conditions were favorable most nights. I'm not sure what the swimming would be like as we were not brave enough to enter the water because of the powerful waves in this area. This was not a huge deal to us because beaches are everywhere on this island. The solar provided plenty of power day and night (this was January, so no AC was ever running). The kitchen was well stocked with basic spices and cooking utensils/silverware. We did have water issue on our first day as the supply ran out which caused some issues with the water heaters and facilities use, but between Cecil the caretaker and Mark the owner the problem was resolved by the next morning. We cooked meals utilizing the stove top and Weber charcoal grill provided (we didn't find grilling tools but were able to get by using the indoor ones). Cooking was no issue. Aside from the gorgeous property, the location was very convenient to many of our island destinations. Typically, we'd stay south of Governor's Harbor, but found that Gregory Town was much more convenient for our needs. We highly recommend this property because of the location and the excellent service we received from the owner. The only thing I missed was a blender to concoct my tropical cocktails. I tried to get a battery powered blender to bring along, but I couldn't find one in time. Rent this play now!!!

Absolutely stunning spot! Spectacular views! We traveled other islands and now Eleuthera and Shorebreak has one of the most scenic views. This spot is "ocean front" in a league of its own! You see and hear the ocean from everywhere in the cottage. The sunrise, the crashing waves and salt mist, the private beach, stargazing and moonlit ocean... truly a magical spot! We got to use the secret beach twice and it was amazing! The cottage is great with comfortable beds, thoughtful set up and wrap-around decking. The Wi-Fi was 9/10, solar power worked great and again, it has a gorgeous view in every direction! We stayed for 11 nights and would have booked more if availability was there. Eleuthera is a fantastic island and our family of 4 (kids 10 and 13) had a great time discovering it! Mark had many great recommendations to help plan our trip! We rented a car from Robert at Daddy Joe's, (great place to eat) which was convenient with airport pickup and drop off. We booked 2 boat trips (no fishing for us) one boat trip was for the north part of the island (Turtles, pigs, snorkelling... all amazing) and one for the south (lighthouse beach, snorkelling and Schooners Cay) Both trips were great. For the south trip we went with Captain John (BIG MAC - from Davies Harbour), amazing guy and very friendly. Everyone we met on the island was very friendly and helpful. Kids' favourite restaurant was Rainbow Inn Restaurant. Every beach we visited was amazing, the sand was so soft and almost always we had it all to ourselves. There is so much you can safely explore on your own! We learned about Eleuthera by first coming across Shorebreak and we truly can't wait to be back to the island and to stay at Shorebreak again.
