The closest Eleuthera airport is GHB (Governor’s Harbour) 8.5 miles south of the house. The 2nd closest airport is ELH (North Eleuthera) about 30 miles north. At the airport you can pick up your car rental, or perhaps arrange for the car rental vendor to meet you at the airport to help direct your way to the Cottage.

An Eleuthera car rental is strongly recommended to get around the island to various tourist spots, restaurants, grocery stores and beaches. There are currently no international “Hertz-type” rental agencies. All car rentals are through local Bahamians. Because of the high duty to import cars, they are generally older-model cars, but work well to get around the island. Cars have a standard rental rate, and jeeps, vans and SUV’s are generally at an additional cost. Eleuthera car rental rates are around $60-$70 per daily rate or $350 on up per weekly rate. Jeep-bronco types run around $420 per week. $30 extra for North Eleuthera pickup. (prices subject to change).

The closest Eleuthera airport is ELH (North Eleuthera Airport) about 10 miles south of the properties. After arriving to the airport, you will then need to take a car taxi to the Spanish Wells Ferry Dock (Gene's Bay) in North Eleuthera, There you can board the 5-minute government ferry that takes you over to Spanish Wells. Many of our guests use a convenient local taxi service arranged from Pinder’s Supermarket, 242-333-4068, in Spanish Wells that combines both the ground taxi and ferry ride direct from the airport. Pinder’s will pick you up from the North Eleuthera Airport and transport you by ground taxi for the short ride to Gene’s Bay dock and there you will board their 5 minute ferry. Currently pricing is $30 per person round trip with a 2-person minimum (rates subject to change). When you arrive at the Spanish Wells dock, our Caretaker can arrange to meet you there, and you can retrieve your rented golf cart (highly recommended to get around the island for your stay) for a short drive to Russell Island which is connected to Spanish Wells by a small bridge. Golf cart rental vendors can be found dockside and can be reserved prior to your arrival by a simple email or phone call.
