Enjoy Bahama Villa yourself for a week and discover a vacation getaway you will treasure for years to come! Make your reservations early, however. Eleuthera is one of the more popular Caribbean hideaways and our Bahamas rental at Ten Bay (near Governor's Harbour) is an international favorite. Here you can dive, swim, rent a boat, snorkel, fish, enjoy spectacular sunsets, or just sit inside our central air-conditioned comfort doing nothing except savoring that paperback novel you've saved for just such an occasion.

Bahama Villa is a 2-bedroom private home on the edge of a peaceful bay with wrap-around views and clear water. Currently owned by Robert and Emmy Buckman, the villa is perched on a promintory overlooking Ten Bay Beach and offers a unique spot to experience the same island ambience and nature's magnificence that draws visitors here from around the world.

The weather in Eleuthera is almost always warm, and rarely goes below 65 degrees fahrenheit. It does get cool on occasion in the winter months, but an extra long-sleeve shirt will handle that little problem nicely. Mostly, however, you will need your bathing suit and suntan lotion. The summers are usually hot - perfect for sunbathing, snorkeling (we even provide some snorkeling gear!), and swimming. Central AIR CONDITIONING was installed in 2001 and updated in 2005, one of the first houses in the area to have it. Most guests report not needing it much, however, except on the very hottest days. With all the fresh breezes wafting in from the bay and circulated by the ceiling fans, you may want to just enjoy living a-la-Casablanca.

Bahama Villa is about 800 square feet inside but the porches and decks overlooking the ocean and beach give you the feeling of a much larger place. Some days you might just turn off the air conditioning, open the four large glass doors and allow the gentle Caribbean breezes, along with the sound of ocean waves, birds, frogs and crickets to lull you to sleep. The rooms are conveniently laid out with the master bedroom opening via glass door to porch and the ocean and beach views. There is also a guest room that contains two twin beds convertable to queen-size, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and a large great room featuring wicker furniture and a futon sleeper sofa. The Villa is priced for two guests, but can accommodate up to six. There is a phone for incoming and local calls, a VCR/DVD with video library and extra DVD's. Sheets, linen, games, and many extras are also included. The Villa is cleaned before you arrive and extra maid service is provided for longer stays.

As a guest, you will receive a Welcome Packet before your trip containing pertinent information on check-in procedures & codes, local festivals, island sights, dining spots, car and boat rentals, and much more.

This is a special place, where time disappears and the senses are inspired. Our people, the natural beauty of our island destination, and our services and amenities make our resort and marina the perfect place to tie up or settle in.

We’re a beautiful, boutique resort in Harbour Island, Bahamas. One of the top hotels in the Caribbean, we recently completed a property wide re-fresh. Our secluded, little sanctuary has never looked better. We have 38 rooms. Not big. But we are big on service and style. Our priority is to deliver a special stay that you’ll carry with you, long after you’ve left us. Coral Sands is luxuriously low key and casually elegant. We look after you as if you were family, or celebrities. We are at your service.
Our Pink Sands Beach on Harbour Island

We’re famous for pink sand and turquoise water. Voted “number one beach in the Caribbean” by Travel Channel and consistently rated one of the top five beaches in the world, Coral Sands beach is heaven on earth. Piece de resistance? Our private, palm-thatched tiki huts. With our compliments, we provide chaise lounges, beach umbrellas, beach towels + non-motorized water sport accessories – including kayaks, boogie boards, paddleboards, buckets and shovels. When you’re not on the beach, we suggest that you mosey into town. Just five minutes from the hotel, Dunmore Town is Harbour Island’s epicenter. It’s a palette of pastel colored cottages, white picket fences, unspoiled nature and a handful of hotels, restaurants, boutiques and art galleries. Quiet streets are navigated by golf cart or leisurely strolled.

Eleuthera Tours was founded in October 2010.  It is owned and operated by Donald and Kristel Anderson.  We are fully licensed to do land and boat tours.  We have our tour business license, charter fishing license, seafood sales license, and all current health certificates.

Donald was born and raised in Deep Creek, Eleuthera.  He started fishing and exploring the waters around South Eleuthera as a very young boy.  As he got older, he ventured farther and farther and has done many sea trips to Nassau, Exuma, Andros, Jamaica...  He is an accomplished and knowledgeable boatsman.  Donald has his Class B captains license.

Kristel has been coming to Eleuthera since 1995 and living full time in Deep Creek since 2006.  She was born and raised in New York and at the age of 15 moved to Florida.  She has spent much of her life on the beach or the sea. As a young girl she raced sailboats with her father around the waters of  Long Island, Block Island, and the west coast of Florida and later spent a good amount of time on power boats fishing and touring.  She is a certified PADI SCUBA diver.

We have two boats we use for the tour business.  "DA Reef Dancer" is a 26' Eduardono Panga.  "DA Reef Runner" is a 22' Olympia Sport.  Both are center console.  DA Reef Dancer has a 200hp Yamaha engine on it.  "DA Reef Runner" has a Yamaha 150.  Both boats are Bahamian registered with the Port Department.

We love to travel.  We go on cruises and we explore on our own.  And when we travel, we love to see the "real" parts of the places we travel.  We have learned that you get a lot more out of your trip when you have a local person who can explain what you are looking at and take you to places you maybe wouldn't/couldn't get on your own.  We know what we like when we go on trips and on tours - so we feel we know what you might like and we try to give it to you!   When you come with us on one of our tours, you're part of the family.

French Leave Eleuthera, Bahamas
Nestled between magnificent coral reefs protecting its shore, surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters and swaying coconut palm trees, is the one of most beautiful pink sand beaches and picturesque harbors in the world. All located on one of the most beautiful islands in all of the Bahamas.

The Island is Eleuthera.

The resort is French Leave.

Perfectly elevated to capture the crisp tropical breezes, the integrity of the tropical architecture epitomizes why French Leave is the exception, a one of a kind.

French Leave Eleuthera is so well regarded for what is not. There are no casinos, no cruise ships, no constant turnstile of flights carrying thousands of tourists. Our location boasts beautiful un-crowded pink sand beaches, azure blue waters, friendly people, and great local dining and shopping experiences. Absent are the chain restaurants and tourist trap stores and the bright lights and crowds that follow. When night falls here, you can see more stars in an evening than one might see in a lifetime. This is for stargazers the “Dark Sky Paradise” and with perfect year round weather, the season is anytime.

French Leave Eleuthera seeks to be a part of this incredible environment, not change it.

Our resort is designed for very low density, the least possible environmental impact, traditional Bahamian architecture, and traditional Bahamian values. French Leave Eleuthera remains today one of the Bahamas & Caribbean’s best kept secrets and is that special place, for all the right reasons.

If you want to experience the extraordinary, it may take a little more time and effort to get here. Once you get here, you will never question why you came.
