A Peaceful, Quiet Escape

Extraordinary! Secluded and quiet, what more could you ask for. Chez Cay will not be for everyone but if you are looking to escape a busy life this is your place. The main building has a well equipped kitchen, living room/dining room, half bath, and a loft. The windows allow a great breeze. The smaller separate building is a bedroom and bathroom that ARE air conditioned, it was only recently installed. There is an outside shower and a deck that extends to the water. Bring your gear and down a short ladder you can snorkel in the crystal clear Caribbean.

We spent the last week of August here and never saw a single person unless we drove back down the dirt driveway to the main road. No tv, just wifi and Spotify with some Hawaiian music playing, we read quite a few books. A great escape from life's busyness.

The owner is quick to respond and has a great deal of good information to share. We rented a car from the property manager Edgar, his grandson Alonso met us at the airport and gave us a short tour so we knew our way around the settlement of Governor's Harbor. Erika, the housekeeper also checked on us and offered to answer any questions. Erika is wonderful, there were fresh flowers in every room when we arrived.

You can find most anything you need in Governor's Harbor, about a mile away. Take some cash and don't miss the Friday Night Fish Fry, Tippy's-especially when the band is playing, go for a walk on French Leave Beach-beautiful, and if you are adventurous check out the remains of Club Med.

One of the most relaxing vacations we have ever been on, I would absolutely go again.

Splendid

Chez Cay was the perfect place for me and my new potcake rescue dog, Henry. Dog friendly, but so easy to keep clean and manage. The design and layout of Chey Cay shows thought and care. Everything you need from a giant frying pan to beach towels is there. Its proximity to Governor's Harbour makes sure you are never far from anything you need, French Leave Beach and great eating. The house is at the end of the road, so yes, there is no one to care if you're wearing much at all. The swimming off the rocks is lovely, with great snorkeling. Edgar met me at the airport and I rented his car for a week. He ensured I knew all the basics. Erica, the housekeeper stopped by for a visit and she's terrific, and just down the road if you need her. I will remember my time on Eleuthera at Chez Cay with great affection.

Couldn't be better!

Our two week stay was perfect in every way. Chez Cay, which features separate sleeping quarters from the living/dining area, is well-situated both for privacy and seclusion but also an easy trip (by car) to nearby Governor’s Harbor. We are 2 writers who seek quiet getaways with occasional diversions; this property was ideal. It’s unusually well-equipped (we were thankful for the kitchen supplied with good knives, a French press coffeepot, and some cookware not coated with Teflon!) comfortable, and in a stunningly beautiful location. We appreciated the roomy outdoor shower, spacious dock area for relaxing, swimming and sunset watching; and the peacefulness and safe feeling of the whole property and community. Arthur's taxi met us at the airport, and we then rented a car from Edgar who gave us great tips, including about driving "next to the bush," on the left. Erika welcomed us warmly, had added beautiful touches to the house, and eased the transition on departure. From our first contact with Wayne, the owner, he was prompt and full of useful information. He is helpful and attentive in every way. We especially loved buying fish and lobsters and conch from the fishermen at the dock, fresh produce from Island Farm, walking at Leon Levy Reserve, and a fun night out at Rainbow Inn – half an hour drive, but worth it for pizza night and live music. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful!

We spent a week here over winter break and were reluctant to leave. The cottage is wonderful, with the stars seeming to float through the windows on a clear night and with privacy and solitude though also close to town and stores. The kitchen is great, with everything you need to cook. We loved sitting on the deck and on the dock in the lounge chairs, watching the fish and sunlight as much as we loved the nearby beaches and our exploration of the island. Thank you so much for having us and for sharing this delightful cottage with us.

We are very pleased that our recent guests loved their visit to Eleuthera.

September Stay

We had a great stay at this rental. Wayne was very helpful and informative getting our trip organized with suggestions on transportation to the island as well as rentals. Edgar and Erica were so nice and great with any questions we had once we were at the house and making sure our stay was going alright. Being right near Governors Harbour was extremely convenient while still being secluded and right on the water. As noted in previous reviews it is not on a beach but, we very much enjoyed being able to snorkel right in front of the house and see rays and several different fish. I would remind future renters that this does not have A/C, as correctly described, and it can be a little warm during the day in September but would be perfectly fine the rest of the year.
