About this property

Seahorse Apartment on Casuarina Bay beach with ocean view

Seahorse apartment at Casuarina Bay is just steps from the very private sandy beach of Casuarina bay.

Charmingly decorated with island furnishings and full of natural light, this apartment is perfect for 2 guests. This bright and airy new space (completed Spring 2021) features an ocean view bedroom with a queen bed, bathroom with shower, living space and kinchenette. A new beach deck with a freshwater shower provides the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful Casuarina Bay beach.

Set in a lush tropical garden overlooking virgin green hills, this spacious apartment is ideal for a single person or couple looking for a long-term rental or budget getaway to Eleuthera. The apartment space is on the ground level of our Beachfront House but has a private entrance and is self-contained amidst a picturesque grove of coconut palms, colorful hibiscus, fragrant frangipani flowers, sea grape, passion fruit, papaya, and Casuarina trees.

Just 1.5 miles northeast of the enchanting town of Governors Harbour, the apartment features multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, a full bathroom with shower, kitchen and beach deck with an outdoor shower. Just 60 feet from the top of the gorgeous sandy Casuarina bay beach, our sunset studio is ideal for guests who want to enjoy the natural beauty of Eleuthera. Enjoy complimentary use of our sit-on-top kayaks, standup paddleboards, masks and snorkels to explore the pristine coastline of central Eleuthera.

Great Location but needs some TLC

The seahorse apartment is quaint but was smaller than we expected. We were able to switched to the sunset apartment.. Taja responded quickly to our concerns. The size of the refrigerator was too small to accommodate our groceries. So if you want to cook it may not be the best apartment . The location was great. The house's need some TLC (lots of dust and needs a deep cleaning). We felt like we were camping at the beach. We love to camp so it worked for us but if you don't enjoy "rustic/primitive " living then don't stay here. Bring lots of bug spray and I would suggest to wash the linen the night you get there due to sand fleas/no seeum come in through the open windows (along with a great breeze). The island is so beautiful and it made the apartment "hiccups" minor in the big picture.
Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2022

About the host

Hosted by Taja McKinney

Host profile image
The McKinney family has lived in The Bahamas for generations. At 17 Doon was teaching school in a remote village in Botswana. She fell in love with the idea of living in a Round House. When she returned to The Bahamas she decided to move from Nassau to the remote and untouched island of Eleuthera and build her own round house. Everyone was a bit skeptical of this young woman clearing the land by herself and building a house with no electricity, running water, car or a telephone.

Camping out every night on the site helped her develop an intense connection with the land and gave her the opportunity to build a house that was perfect for the location. She decided to build 11-foot arches on all five sides of the house to allow the ocean breeze to sweep into the house. She nestled the house among coconut trees and Casuarina trees where you can hear the sound of the wind in the trees and the waves on the beach. She surrounded the house with a garden full of beautiful hibiscus, oleander, seagrape, coconuts and, other native flowers and trees.

It was a challenge for a woman with limited carpentry skills to clear the land and almost single-handedly build a house- having never built so much as a box. Doon persevered and used creativity to overcome many of the obstacles she encountered. While still working on the building of the house Doon married and had 2 daughters (Casuarina and Taja)- the youngest was born right in the Round House before the midwife even found her way out to the house.
