The space ******more pics @ShoreBreakBahamas ****** ShoreBreak eco cottage rises 25’ above the ocean on a dramatic cliff above perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches on Eleuthera known to locals as "Secret Beach". ShoreBreak cottage and Secret Beach are located on the Atlantic coastline of Eleuthera, 25 minutes from N. Eleuthera Airport (ELH). The quaint and authentically Bahamian Gregory Town is 2 miles to the North. All of the photos on this listing have been taken at ShoreBreak cottage and the “secret beach”. Life at ShoreBreak cottage is like taking a step back in time. You can plan a busy day of activities and experience the thrill of diving, snorkeling, fishing, surfing, and kayaking. Or for nature lovers, bring your Audubon nature guide book, take a walk and search for numerous varieties of butterflies and birds. Or better yet, you can choose to do nothing at all. Kick back, relax, and read a book and doze off in the afternoon with the symphony of the Atlantic lapping on the crystalline beach below. ShoreBreak cottage was created to be harmonious and respectful to its natural, untouched and exquisite surroundings. The vision for ShoreBreak was to embrace nature at its fullest and to escape the trappings of the modern world. No Television, no computer, no problem (we have wifi and there is cell phone and internet service access via your cell carrier). Nightly entertainment is courtesy of the Galaxy above. At ShoreBreak you enjoy quiet nights and fall asleep to the chorus of the ocean below only to dream of catching the Sunrise in the morning. Kiss the sky, smell the salt, and soak up the warmth of the sun on ShoreBreak’s oceanfront porch and deck. Just below our deck, walk down a short flight of a dozen stairs to a beach with large boulders and unexplored caves. Direct access to this beach is limited to Shorebreak and our sister property "Shoreting" listing number 28490829, and both properties can be rented together if available). We don’t restrict access to the beach. The beach takes a shape and life of its own and consistently shifts, expands and retracts with the tide, wind and lunar cycles. We have seen the beach literally come and go for days at a time. And be sure to use extreme caution at the beach as the wind and surf can become tumultuous thus the name Shorebreak. Don't forget to enjoy our outdoor shower if just for a quick rinse after coming up from the beach. ShoreBreak was built in a traditional and cozy Bahamanian style by a 3rd generation local builder who took great pride in his craft. The vernacular based outpost takes its design cues from the older gabled wood cottages on Harbour Island. White washed locally sourced cypress wraps the interior and creates a warm feel. The build was overseen by an internationally renown architect to ensure aesthetic integrity was true to form. A central living space is bookended by 2 ocean front bedrooms each with a queen bed. Both bedrooms have their own private en suite bathroom. A soaring vaulted ceiling creates an airy feel. PLEASE NOTE there are 2 lofts used for storage and not accessible to renters. ShoreBreak is ideal for 2 couples or a honeymoon for 2. The cottage is a bit reminiscent of a wooden ship and was built in the spirit of the sea, adventure, exploration and the frontier. It boasts beautiful re-purposed mahogany yacht doors and brass hardware in the bedrooms as well as portholes salvaged from a pre war passenger liner. All of the sliding doors facing the ocean were sourced from a resort in the FL Keys that no longer stands. Secret Beach is a treasure and ShoreBreak was built to be sensitive and have as minimal an impact on its natural surroundings as possible. It has the ability to alternate between both grid and solar power making it fully self sustainable. The cottage was designed to take advantage of the cooling ocean breezes, but also offers modern comforts such as AC which is located in the bedrooms. We ask our guests to always be mindful of their energy consumption and water usage and to maintain a light footprint. ShoreBreak is provisioned with your basic needs, bed sheets, towels, utensils, cooking amenities, a built in gas cooktop, full sized refrigerator, and a dining table. Or use the Weber grill and grill up some fresh lobster tails from your dive and dine al fresco on the ocean deck under the stars. Or have a local fisherman bring you the days catch. You are sure to become friendly with the beautiful and simple people that call the island home. ShoreBreak is the essence of the authentic Bahamian out island experience. This is not a resort experience. No umbrella drinks. Its a bit of living on the edge of the rugged, natural and beautiful terrain. The ocean below can be tumultuous, thus the namesake ShoreBreak. With this said, children are not recommended unless always supervised and all guests are reminded to exercise extreme caution on the property and beach below. ShoreBreak seeks adventure travelers, star gazers, beach combers and romantics at heart. Enjoy! Guest access The lofts are used for storage and not accessible to guests.
