Style Notes
Modern Italian living. This brand new house was designed in the Italian modern style and was designed as a compromise between comfort and elegance. The main color throughout is white, which reflects the Caribbean sunlight. The kitchen is set up for gourmet chefs and includes plenty of items to make family cooking a breeze. The sofa is very large and modern as are the rooms, and the views of the ocean from every room make a stay enchanting. We love the beachfront hot tub, the clean modern spaces and the idyllic location on a private beach with sunset views every day.

Eleuthera, The Bahamas
A slice of heaven on earth

Discover quiet beaches, local fruit fresh from the tree and turtles swimming in the clear blue ocean.
