I loved our stay at the Round House in March 2018. We took our two teenagers (14 and 16), some snorkeling gear, fishing rods and books. The opportunity to share a one room (with loft) round house was exactly what we needed to secure quality family time. The beach in front of our house was stunning and extremely quiet. A short walk to the south is access to French Leave Beach, one of the most beautiful in the world. We ran or walked it every day. Twin Coves to the north provided interesting tide pools and snorkeling opportunities. Governor's Harbour is only a 15 minute walk or a couple of minutes by car. Bikes would be a nice addition to the property for this purpose. Decent food, groceries and coffee in the Harbour. Really enjoyed the Globe Princess movie theater. Super special to stay in a house that was built by the lady next door. Doon is a gem and we enjoyed learning about her family history and life on the property. The Round House was a great place to stay for a more authentic experience in the Bahamas. Outdoor shower was also a personal favorite.

This was our second trip to the Round House and it did not disappoint. We were there in May 2018. The house was perfect for the two of us, but could accommodate kids as well, or friends as long as you are ok with an open concept living and sleeping space. The views from the house are great. You can see the ocean from the front, and lush forest in the back. The weather was beautiful and we spent quite a bit of time in the beach cabana, my favorite spot! On a day it was a little windy we went to a Caribbean side beach (Cocodimama), and would also recommend Gaulding Cay on the Caribbean side. We used the kayaks as well. The beach right in front of the house has very little traffic, and the cabana is nicely hidden from the road - despite what other reviews say. We walked up to Twin Coves for snorkeling and fishing, and walked down to French Leave beach as well. Doon was an excellent host, just like last time, and she even brought us a fresh papaya that was growing outside our back window. Doon also gave us a great recommendation to go to Tippy's on Wednesday night for the live music. The food and music were both great. You can walk to Tippy's or it is a short drive. We walked and had a nice moonlit walk back. The location is very close to town, but you would never know it because of how few people you see when you are actually at the house. This house is not a ritzy, super modern, hotel style property so don't come expecting that. It is very homey and well kept. We had everything we needed. The wireless worked fine for our needs - quick checks on the kids back home, etc. This is a place to go to get away from it all and enjoy the beauty of Eleuthera. We highly recommend the Round House!
