Avis The Pilot House, "Inn Between the Beaches" #2

I felt like I was visiting a cousin ! Karen is very earthy and sweet.

A little far from the Island School but clean and cute and easy. Host was excellent!

This is a former outbuilding on what was once a larger estate. Karen has restored it immaculately. There's a nice deck to have coffee on, new plantings all around, lots of comfortable chairs, and so on. We had had a tough year and were looking for a quiet, beautiful, beach retreat for a few days. For us, the Pilot House on Eleuthera was just perfect. I guess I should note that the house has two unusual features, neither of which bothered us. One is that it has no real kitchen. We ended up getting most of our breakfasts from the rather good cafe a couple hundred yards away on the restored estate -- a fun walk in the morning. (Karen has a Keurig coffee machine and a fridge if you don't want the walk.) The other is that the house is not on the beach proper. We liked that because it means the house is sheltered from the constant coastal wind. In any case, it's only a few minutes from the beach--and the island is full of beaches, most of which were empty or nearly empty when we stayed there, despite it being spring break weekend.

Wow. The online photos does not do this property justice. It is a hidden Gem. Away from everything but settlements are nearby and easily accessible. In it's own little private "Piece of the Rock". The property is well maintained and very clean. High end finishes and Karen is amazing. She thought of everything. I will be back.

Very clean and beautiful decorated property , rural location and surrounded by a beautiful garden in natural setting. Located very near Rock Sound Airport and near grocery store and a few restaurants . Host Karen is extremely accommodating and helpful . Easy access and ample parking.
