Beachfront House on Beautiful Gaulding Cay Beach

Escape to true relaxation in the heart of paradise with Moonflower, a beautiful and serene beachfront retreat on the exquisite beach of stunning Gaulding Cay. 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 or the romantic beach wedding of your dreams.

Step into the embrace of Moonflower's inviting ambiance, where authentic Bahamian charm meets modern comfort. This updated spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has an open floor plan adorned with native artwork and local paintings, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 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, Moonflower ensures a seamless blend of luxury and convenience throughout your stay.

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful Location
We had a wonderful week at Moonflower. We travelled with three adults and three children, ages 9, 6, and 4. The house is very spacious and there was plenty of room for everybody. It's also very close to the beach. The pictures made it a little hard to tell just how close the beach is, but it's literally in the front yard. The beach was absolutely beautiful and we spent most of our time swimming and playing in the sand. The water was extremely calm and clear, almost like a swimming pool. It was great for our smaller kids, but if you enjoy boogie boarding or body surfing, you'll have to take a day trip to a different part of the island. The house shares a public beach access, so it got a little busy in the afternoons, but everyone that we encountered was extremely friendly. The house had plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils, and we cooked all of our meals at the house. The caretaker, Lady Di was very welcoming and gave us a few pineapples that she grew herself. They were the best pineapples we've ever had! The house was a little warm when we arrived, but it cooled down quickly and stayed nice and cool for our entire stay. Drinking the tap water isn't recommended, so the house comes with a dispenser and a 5 gallon water bottle. We only had about 3/4 of a bottle to start, and our family went through almost a whole 5 gallon bottle each day, so we had to make multiple trips to the store to get more water. The house has wifi, but it runs off of a mobile hotspot, so it's pretty slow. During our stay we took trips to the Queen's Baths, Preacher's Cave, and we also took the ferry over to Harbour Island. All of those places were incredible and highly recommended! Overall, it was an amazing trip, and we'd definitely stay at Moonflower again.

Perfection!
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!

We rented as a Christmas present to our young adult children since it’s not often we can get the entire family together anymore. The house served our large party well, all ten of us. The location is convenient to other natural sights and the water is beautiful, clear and calm. The neighboring homes are friendly and welcoming and the nearby restaurant is great and just a short walk away. Lady Di, the caretaker is quite a character and a local legend. She was so kind and helpful. The island itself is more scenic than most of the out islands and getting supplies is easier than many as well.

Beautiful!
We had a wonderful week at Moonflower with our boys (6, 9, 9, and 12). The beach was gorgeous, the house was well-appointed and the grounds were beautiful. Lady Di met us upon arrival to show us around and was available when we had any questions. We will definitely miss her!. The beach had calm waters, great for swimming, snorkeling by the rocks or island, or kayaking. The sunset from the beach couldnt be better. The water was incredibly clear and warm. The location was great- a walk from Daddy Joe's, close to the window bridge and Queen's Bath, short drive into Gregory Town, to Rainbow Bay Beach or Gov. Harbour. You can get to the airport, Gene's Dock or Three Island Dock in no time at all. I can't say enough about the house. Plenty of room for all of us and more. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful and easy
Moonflower was perfect for our family. The property managers, the caretaker and the owner from start to finish could not have been more wonderful. The house is roomy and comfortable. It is exactly as pictured FYI. AC worked great, beds comfy, kitchen well appointed, plenty of towels and extra bedding. WiFi sufficient for vacation needs and water pressure in showers great. The beach was beautiful and steps away. The house is right behind public access to the beach and people will park there too. It didn’t bother us. We will definitely go back.
