Getaway, Current, Eleuthera, Bahamas - Villa rentals by Saand.com

Peaceful haven in Current

Built on a fantastic and very private site, Getaway is delicately placed to minimally impact the beautiful landscape. The undulating terrain gently slopes from the entrance road down towards the sea. The house is located at the very end of a quiet back street with few homes. Because of its privacy and because the beach is only accessible to house guests this is a perfect retreat for couples and honeymooners.

A meandering, stepped walkway leads down to the sea where rock outcrops and the beautiful beach are gently caressed by the sea. These same rock outcrops ensure that the stretch of beach adjacent to the house is kept hidden and private.

An expansive “A” frame roof stretches the full length of the house and provides an open roomy feel to the living room and kitchen. In this living area, comprising half of the floor plan of the house, the full magnitude of the spaciousness is felt as this is where at the apex of the beams the interior of the house reaches it’s highest point (some 20 feet from the floor).

A modern bathroom separates the living/kitchen area from the master bedroom and essentially divides the floor plan and the elevation of the house in two. Above the master bedroom, a loft, with white washed pine floors, provides support for a second large airy bedroom that peers down over the living area.

Interior ceilings are finished with exposed tongue and groove roof sheathing. Also exposed are 3” x 10” structural rafters of the house, giving the impression, when one is luxuriating on the comfortable living room recliners, that the hull of a sturdy, seaworthy boat has been carefully flipped over and placed overhead.

Just to the left of the front walkways is a low native stonewall enclosing a lush planting of palms and hiding the opening to a cave. The cave entrance drops to about 8’ below ground level revealing a long enclosed cavity stretching the full length of the house.
