Activities/Attractions: Eleuthera, which means "Freedom" in Greek, seems to be as apt today as it was in the past. With miles of glistening pink and white sand beaches, serene colonial villages, and the rolling acres of pineapple plantations, Eleuthera is an island of casual sophistication ... it seems to have a kind of unbounded air of calm and grace.

With its two companions, Harbour Island and Spanish Wells, Eleuthera has long been a favored destination among smart travelers seeking a bit of quiet charm. Eleuthera Island is peaceful and quiet and it is unusual to see other people on the beaches. The Bahamian people are one of the islands best assets and you will find them unusually helpful. Although the island is tranquil, there are many activities.

General Information: Heron Hill rests majestically atop a 60' ocean bluff on Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. The site is a beautiful 5-acre, landscaped coconut palm estate with steps lead down to a pink sand beach where you can fish from the shore, snorkel, swim, sunbathe or investigate the coral reefs which lie directly in front of the house.

The unique beauty and ever-changing colors of the sea and sky can be seen from every room of the grand 10-room house. Originally built in 1959 for a British family, during a time when the Bahamas were under British rule, Heron Hill has been completely modernized to enhance your stay.
