Moonflower is in an amazing location with great access to the beach and walking distance to a fun restaurant. Any issues or questions we had were handled promptly by Lady Di! There are kayaks available and the home is very comfortable! Can’t wait to come back to Eleuthera! Waking up and having coffee overlooking an amazing beach is quite a treat!

Moonflower is located on a gorgeous cove. Powder soft sand, gin clear water, sand dollars, starfish, and an abundance of coral and fish make it a beach lovers dream. Pine trees create a natural shade area. The beach is public and locals come out to have a beer and watch the incredible sunsets. The house is very comfortable and well furnished and maintained. There are plenty of floats, kayaks and a hammock as well as lounges. The gentle shallow waters and single story house are great for a wide range of visitors. Most of the time you share the beach with few if any others but on one occasion there was a large birthday barbecue right in front of the house, which is also public property. The partygoers were very friendly, invited us for drinks, and were gone by 9:30. What at first seemed an intrusion was in fact an invitation to a great time. We had a wonderful 2 weeks at the house and would definitely stay again. It's pretty perfect!

We (2 families, ages 7-47) made many adventures out during our one week stay at Gaulding Cay, Moonflower house. We were re impressed every time returning to Gaulding Cay/Moonflower a.k.a. homebase each time! We loved our stay here! Perfect for all ages. We had read most of the reviews prior to our visit to Moonflower to take notes. A few folks mentioned Moonflower being on or near a local beach but rarely seeing anyone. We did have visitors just about every day which took us by surprise initially. Some were locals and some were vacationers, neither were troublesome and didn't stop us from having the best vacation ever!

Our favorite out of 3 trips with another couple and their two kids. We loved the house, the beach, location. The house layout perfect for 2 families, kids had their own rooms (although could have shared if more kids), master bedrooms good size (pretty much only slept there) kitchen spacious, well stocked, dinning room and living room spacious, all open with high ceilings. Lovely view to wake up to every morning for a cup of coffee before heading out to beach. Lots of toys; kayak and inflatable kayak and floats and fins for enjoying the water (bikes but we did not use). Nice large gas grill for cooking up fresh caught fish (we did an afternoon fishing charter Spanish Wells Fishing (picked us up at James Point) and caught a feast) and beef loin brought over by the other couple, hamburgers and hotdogs for lunches. Great location, (wish we'd made it to Queens Bath which is so close but too windy the entire week) for home base and to just enjoy lounging on the beach or kayaking, swimming, looking for shells, so much to do right there. The beach is public but never crowded during our stay, everyone in like mood, happy. The neighbors all very gracious and helpful if need. So much more to explore on the island still, found new places this trip and revisited our usual, Lighthouse Beach and much in between. Only wish we'd made it over to Spanish Wells and Harbour Island but ran out of time!!! Final note, Lady Di a jem and taken over the best local hot sauce lead, for us, she makes homemade jams also. Can find at many gift shops (Island Made Gifts in Gregory Town a must stop regardless and the ice cream shop next door) and restaurants. We are all ready to go back, so hard to leave (just left April 16). Highly recommend!!!!
