Beachfront House on Beautiful Gaulding Cay Beach

Escape to true relaxation in the heart of paradise with Moonflower, a spacious 2704 sf beautiful and serene beachfront home on the exquisite beach of stunning Gaulding Cay. 2 additional porches including 1 beachfront directly overlooking the turquoise waters brings the total square footage to 3000 sf!

Set on its own secluded corner of Gaulding Cay, Moonflower has a history on Eleuthera and offers a rare and remarkable sense of privacy, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of this Caribbean haven. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and directly overlooking the turquoise waters, Moonflower provides an idyllic setting for your family vacation, retreat or the romantic beach wedding of your dreams.

Featuring cathedral ceilings throughout and single level living for your comfort, the contemporary open concept living room, dining room and kitchen areas allow everyone to interact during cooking, dining and relaxing.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed, with custom headboards and furnishings inspired by the island's natural beauty. "Star" master bedroom features a breathtaking ocean view with direct deck and beach access and an ensuite bathroom. "Star" has a king bed, and an extra twin bed if needed. "Horseshoe" has a king bed and features garden views and tropical colors. “Sand Dollar” has a king bed and a garden view. "Anchor" master bedroom is situated separately in its own hallway with an adjacent bathroom and features garden views and direct front porch access. It has a king and full bed.

Outside, the allure of Gaulding Cay beckons, with soft powdery sand and breathtaking waters stretching as far as the eye can see. Lounge on the beachfront deck, basking in the gentle sea breeze, or explore the crystal-clear waters of the offshore island which is steps away with complimentary kayaks and snorkeling gear. For moments of serenity, retreat to the shaded beach area directly in front of the house, to swaying coconut palms or indulge in an after-swim outdoor shower amidst native flowering plants.

With amenities like super-fast Starlink WIFI with battery backup, air conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV with DVD player (but no cable TV), washer and dryer, outdoor dining area with grill, and two kayaks. A solar generator for backup of essentials is available for guest use.

Just a short drive from Gregory Town, you'll find quaint shops, renowned restaurants, and lively local entertainment. Whether you're sampling island delights and live Bahamian music steps away at Daddy Joe’s, enjoying beautiful vistas down the road at the Glass Window Bar and Grill, gourmet cuisine at The Cove or savoring wood-fired pizza at The Rainbow Inn, Moonflower's spectacular location offers a feast for the senses at every turn. With easy access to nearby attractions like Harbour Island, Spanish Wells, and Governor's Harbor, your island adventure awaits just beyond the horizon.

You may recognize the delightful music of our neighbor when they are practicing, please enjoy the opportunity to have this amazing experience. Please help us respect the privacy of our famous island neighbors who may happen to be celebrities as like you this is also their retreat.

While Gaulding Cay Beach, like all beaches in the Bahamas, is public and may attract tourists and locals, more often than not, you'll find its pristine sands and crystalline waters blissfully deserted, offering you a slice of paradise all to yourself. As the beach access road is beside Moonflower, cars may park there and enjoy the beach, particularly on weekends and local holidays.

Experience the magic of Eleuthera at Moonflower, where every moment is a celebration of sun, sand, and sea. Whether you're planning a family getaway or a dream wedding on the beach, let the stunning location of Moonflower capture your heart and be your oasis of peace and tranquility in paradise.

If you want to lower your blood pressure and have your toes in the sand from sun-up to glorious sun-set, this is the spot for you! It was the perfect beach house for our party of 8 (four couples, all family). We can't wait to return!

Will be returning!
Moonflower was perfect for our group of 6 adults and a 4 year old. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The living room allowed all of us to gather easily and the kitchen has everything you need. Gaulding is a beach without parrallel and just steps away from the house. Young children can play for hours in the water. Communication with the owners has been great from beginning to end. The house is just a super comfortable place - we’ll be returning!

On the rare occasion we had to contact the manager someone responded quickly.

It's so shallow even our toddlers could enjoy walking the beach.The house has everything. It's the most well stocked kitchen I've seen. It has any dish, utensil or pan you could ever want. There are stacks of beach towels too. The beds are comfy. Communication with Christine, the property manager was great. She is very responsive. We would stay here again. Loved every minute.

Perfect House on a Perfect Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Moonflower was perfect for our family of two couples, two young children, and one single son. When we checked in it was exceptionally clean. The beds & bedding were comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of dishware, and the layout & location could not be better. You can walk right out to the beach in seconds and watch the sunset from the side porch. Do be aware that things like dishwashers and electricity don't always work perfectly in the Bahamas. And while we enjoyed many quiet times with no or few people on the beach, on two out of our 10 evenings there were parties in the parking area/pine grove which is between the house and beach. Fortunately, the participants were well behaved and left after the sun set. This is a wonderful place for children who enjoy sand and water activities. And for adults, too. We enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking in the calm, clear water while the kids loved being in their floats. Moonflower, Gaulding Cay, and Eleuthera are paradise!

Love location
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rough start with issues with electricity and water. It was resolved by the end of the day. We absolutely loved the location of the Moonflower. Gaulding Cay was our favorite beach. We enjoyed a day trip to Harbor Island. The Beaches of Eleuthera book at the house was very helpful, we visited quite a few of the top ranked beaches and loved them. The house was average clean. We did have issues with mice. We had a bag of chips closed on the countertop that got chewed on, so we put all our food in the refrigerator and were very prompt to take out the trash. We did end up catching mice in the bottom of our trash can. The island is not heavy with tourists. Many times we had beaches to ourselves. The WIFi was spotty and we didn’t find anything on TV which our teenagers didn’t enjoy, but it was actually not a bad thing if you are looking to “unplug”.

Fabulous home at the best beach
My wife and I have been to Eleuthera many times and got to bring two of our closest friends with us this time. Moonflower is spacious, airy, and well laid out for multiple couples. There's enough room to have privacy and come together in the common areas to have a good time. The entire process from reservation to (sadly) leaving and check-out was phenomenal and seamless. The house was so well kept, maintained, and clean that it felt welcoming every time we entered. Geeta and Christina were fantastic to communicate with when we had a couple questions. When a storm blew through for two days, it still felt like paradise because of how comfortable Moonflower was. While the house is a short walk (maybe 50-60 feet?) from the beach over a small rise, it made things feel more private and special. The gardens and landscaping around Moonflower were nice to walk through and just soak in the sights, smells and sounds. Secluded in the back is a private gazebo to read and enjoy some peace and quiet to doze in the sun away from others. Gaulding Cay beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and easily accessible. Snorkeling around the Cay itself was great at high tide as all the schools of fish came in. All the other diverse fish, sea fans, corals, and sponges just add to the experience. Thank you so much for helping make our trip amazing and giving our families a wonderful place to call home for a short time!

Moonflower was a very good experience
The Moonflower was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Directions to the house were accurate and easy to follow. The house was representative of the pictures and the content list. The grill apparently takes charcoal, something we didn't have but could have gone to the grocery store to get. I contacted Lady Di a couple times during our stay and she was quick to respond. We did see locals hanging out on the public beach In front of the house and none of them were an issue. From reading other reviews we need to expect that this was not a private beach and that was okay with us. A few people per day came. There are several neighbors who own dogs and they are all very friendly. I was able to drag a straight back chair down to the beach each morning to enjoy my coffee. All of the other lounge & reclining chairs around the house and at the far end of the property under a gazebo were chained with padlocks so I couldn't move them. For an island that boasts near 0% crime, the message that chained up chairs send is that this is not a safe place. It wasn't just inconvenient. I don't suppose it mattered because there weren't any cushions. It was appreciated that there was plenty of snorkel equipment available so we cleaned some off and used it. Next time we are on Eleuthera we would definitely consider staying at the Moonflower again.

We'll Be Back
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, spacious and well appointed house on our absolute favorite beach in Eleuthera. Easy and clear check in process. Well provisioned kitchen, AC & internet worked well. Bedrooms were great and was nice to have 3 full baths. Kayaks, water toys, beach towels/chairs are a nice touch. Water pressure was a little low at times, but if you're worried about that, you probably shouldn't be on Eleuthera anyway. Snorkeling Gaulding Cay is always awesome and was a daily activity for us. Overall, the house exceeded our expectations and the description provided. Owner and housekeeper were an absolute pleasure to deal with and their communication was always timely and on point. This is a very desirable location and there are sometimes tourists and locals alike who parked beside the house to access the beach. We enjoyed meeting and talking with them all. But most of the time you have the beach to yourself. Overall an amazing stay, and we certainly hope to visit Moonflower again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We, along with another family, rented Moonflower for a week in July. The only negative, it wasn’t long enough! We were 4 adults and 5 kids and I can say we were never felt like we were on top of each other. There was tons of room and the layout of the house is perfect for accommodating bigger groups very comfortably. Lady Di was great, and made our arrival memorable. The house is breathtaking and spotless! . The location is also beyond perfect. We have been to the Bahamas a few times now and Gaulding Cay beach is quite possibly the best beach I’ve seen yet. Absolutely calendar perfect, and ideal for kids seeing it remains shallow for hundreds of feet. At low tide you can actually walk cove to cove. The snorkeling is awesome too! Daddy Joe’s is a fantastic little restaurant across the main road , fabulous food, drinks, and people! The Bahamian people are reason enough to visit these quiet islands, you would be hard pressed to find a more welcoming people anywhere! We cannot recommend Geeta’s Moonflower enough, if you are looking for laid back, peaceful, and breathtaking then this house, and Eleuthera, are for you!
