Private Beachfront House on Exclusive Windermere Island.

The architect designed HoHum House offers one of the most private and spectacular beachfront locations in the world. It is situated on Windermere Island; a secure gated community, just over tiny bridge from the main island of Eleuthera. HoHum is a vintage bungalow-style home that blends seamlessly into the surrounding tropical landscape. It is an older home, that needs some updating, but remains a super cool hideaway, with a spacious layout and dreamy setting overlooking a turquoise sea and pristine coral sand beach.

Relax in total privacy. This 2 bedroom, 2 full bath home is perfect for couples and families with kids, and it includes a separate guest house/art studio, with a 3rd sleeping area and small bath.

The main house features smart tropical design, including all-tile floors and high vaulted ceilings throughout. All rooms provide beach views and ocean breezes through large glass picture-windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. HoHum also offers wrap-around waterfront patios for outdoor dining and sunbathing. Some property improvements and upgrades are planned in the near future (mostly to weather-worn exterior areas in need painting and resurfacing) but in the meantime, the house remains a Gem. Currently, it is offered at slightly lower rates than usual; perfect for guests who can appreciate a shabby-chic home with a few imperfections, in exchange for one of the best beachhouse locations in the world.

Both the main house and guest house overlook 165 feet of pink sand beach and a calm Caribbean sea (the beach is protected by a coral reef, so it is especially great for kids, swimming and snorkeling). The beach also has powder-soft sand made from coral, so it is cool to walk and play on at all times, and it extends 5 miles for leisurely strolls in either direction. The location is a haven for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling straight from the house.

The main house has two spacious bedrooms, both with their own full ensuite baths. The ‘master-bedroom’ has a king bed, office nook/sitting area, and a large bathroom with double vanity sinks, bathtub/shower, and separate toilet, as well as a private gated garden area with outdoor shower. The 2nd full bedroom is also spacious with its own oceanfront patio, 2 twin beds (easily convertible to king) and dressing area with double vanity sinks, plus a separate bathroom with additional sink, shower, & toilet. Both bedrooms in the main house have private patios and face the beach, offering breathtaking water views and amazing sunrises. The bedrooms also offer privacy for 2 couples sharing the house, as they book-end the home’s spacious living room, full kitchen, and gorgeous glass-walled sunroom/breezeway with large dining table and sitting area. The sunroom sitting area also offers a good-quality (full-size) futon for kids or an extra sleeper. The whole house has patios wrapping all the way around, perfect for sunbathing, outdoor dining, and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.

HoHum also has a bonus art studio/guest house overlooking the ocean too, situated about 100ft from main house. The studio/guest house is a great remote work space, or an extra sleeping space (with privacy for an extra couple or nice for teenagers who like to be nearby but still slightly separate). It has 2 twin beds (easily convertible to king). The studio also has its own ocean view patio, kitchenette, and a small full bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink. It was originally designed for use as an art studio, so it is an amazing place for painting and drawing, with lots of natural light, spacious counter work space, and a large island (some easels are available too)…plus views of the beach and sea are everywhere!

The most relaxing vacation ever
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ho Hum is truly a magical place! My grandparents built this wonderful house back in the late 60s and being able to bring my family here and share this amazing place with them was a once in a life time experience. The house is still as beautiful and charming as ever and the beach is the just as private and spectacular as when I was a little girl.As my grandparents used to tell us when we would visit years ago, getting here isn't easy but if it was it wouldn't be so special.Being at Ho Hum is worth the effort to get there.The only thing you can do there is get relaxed!And that is what we did. We swam, snorkled at the reef (we saw sea turtles, rays, an octopus and lots of tropical fish) woke up to stunning sunrises, star gazed at night and simply slowed down.Ho Hum is island living at it's best.

Really beautiful house, on a stunning beach.........BUT?
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of four, 2 couples, were warned by the booking agent that Ho Hum was tired, but we wanted to be on Windermere Island, as we knew the beach was magnificent. We looked forward to 3 relaxing weeks. Ho Hum is a magnificent home, with awesome views, and the interior is lovely, Had we been staying for only 1 week, we would probably have overlooked a lot of the numerous things that needed fixing, but over the course of 3 weeks, it is important that a house functions well. Then a horrible thing happened! Two rats and a mouse appeared in the master bedroom. We should have realized on our arrival that there were rodents in the room, as a chest of drawers was chewed around the top and bottom edges, we informed the caretaker, who sent over 3 live rat traps, by day 3 of seeing very obvious signs that rats were living in the room, we informed the agent, that we could no longer stay in the house, and we’d like our money back. The listing agent proceeded to find us alternative accommodation, while we went back and forward with the owner, negotiating how much of our money should be returned. The contract does not cover anything about rat infestation,which the owner pointed out to us, telling us she was in no way obligated to return any of our money, as we were choosing to leave. Finally she returned 2weeks plus1 day, and also returned our $1000 security deposit. There were so many thing damaged and broken in the home, it really didn’t seem reasonable to pay a $1000 security deposit. We did inform the caretaker on our arrival of all the things that were broken.My overal impression of Ho Hum is that there needs to be considerable renovations done on the house. At no time did the owner offer to send an exterminator to deal with the problem. This is a lovely house that has been allowed to slip into a state of disrepair, but with rats and mice lurking around in the bedroom and living room we had no choice but to leave. We lost 4 precious days of our vac

House was Ho Hum
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A stay on Windermere Island is a treat, as a quiet retreat the Ho Hum House is tired. Clean enough, but beach houses near the ocean need upkeep inside and out: holes in bed sheets, kitchen appliances worn out or not working, no hangers or dresser in the second bedroom, outdoor showers non-existent although website indicated otherwise. Management, housecleaner and property manager very responsive, however.

Family fun
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Gagnon family arrived a day late due to the our flight was in an hour late. We spent the night in fort Lauderdale. We finally arrived and were thrilled to see the breathtaking views of Ho Hum house. As our week went on we went scuba diving snorkeling swimming and beaching . The house was perfect for our family. We noticed that the house is getting a bit run down and needs some things fixed. We really did not care though because it was fun for us all.

Relaxing Get Away
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is private and the beach is the nicest we have ever seen. Location is A+. The home, staff and amenities get a B, but we would stay here again. Would bring more provisions, books and games the next time as there is nothing to do after dark and the bugs start biting at dusk. Views are magnificent!
