Escape to Eleuthera! Eleuthera offers as much adventure or as much relaxation as you wish. You will feel welcomed by the residents! They appreciate that you have chosen their island as your get-a-way. You will be treated with respect to your privacy or engaged in colourful conversation by very laid-back but not backwards locals. Sand Dollar is ideally located in the center of the island, 3 miles to Governor's Harbour and 3 miles to the International Airport. Drive north to the dock for Harbour Island in about an hour (Harbour Island is then a short water taxi ride) or all the way south to Light House Point in a little over an hour.

Eleuthera loved the Bakers! Am doing more improvements as we speak, like hanging hammock chairs on the veranda, so it will be even more relaxing for your return!
