The architect designed HoHum House has one of the most private and spectacular beachfront locations on Windermere Island. HoHum is a vintage bungalow-style home that blends seamlessly into the surrounding tropical landscape. It is a beautiful older home, that does need some updating, but offers an unbeatable location and layout for tropical living, and smart interior design, including tile floors and high vaulted ceilings throughout. All rooms also provide ocean breezes and beach views through large glass picture-windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in nearly every room. HoHum also offers wrap-around waterfront patios for outdoor dining and sunbathing. Some improvements and upgrades are planned in the near future (mostly just exterior items, painting & driveway work) but in the meantime, this beachfront gem is offered at discounted rental rates to guests who don’t mind a comfortable well-designed home with a few minor imperfections, in exchange for one of the best beach house locations in the world.

Relax in total privacy on pristine coral-sand beach. This home is perfect for couples and families with kids, and it includes a separate guest house/art studio. Both the main house and guest house overlook 165 feet of pink sand beach with a calm turquoise sea (the beach is protected by a coral reef, so it is especially great for kids & swimming). 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. HoHum offers a very private location (with few neighbors), and Windermere Island is a secure gated island community, just over tiny bridge from the main island of Eleuthera. 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 patio, 2 twin beds (easily convertible to king) and dressing area with double vanity sinks, plus a separate bathroom with sink, shower, & toilet. Both main house bedrooms have private patios and face the ocean, 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 large high-ceilinged living room, dining area, full kitchen, and gorgeous glass-walled sunroom/breezeway with large dining table and extra sitting area. The sunroom/breezeway sitting area also offers a good-quality (full-size) futon for kids or an extra sleeper. The house has patios wrapping all the way around, perfect for sunbathing, outdoor dining, and enjoying unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.

HoHum also offers a bonus separate art studio/guest house, overlooking the ocean, about 100ft from main house. It can provide additional private sleeping space if needed and has 2 twin beds (easily convertible to king), plus a small bed nook suitable for a small/young child. The studio also has its own ocean view patio, a kitchenette, and a very small full bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower only. It was originally designed for use as an art studio, so it is an amazing space for painting, lots of counter space for art projects, and a large island with an extra artist's sink (some easels are available) and views of the beach and sea are everywhere!

SPECIAL NOTE on A/C FOR SUMMER RENTALS: The main house’s living room, kitchen, and sunroom/breezeway have full sliders and/or ceilings fans, but do not have A/C (only the two main house bedrooms/baths, and guest house are fully air conditioned). However, due to Windermere’s famous almost-always-breezy oceanfront location, A/C is not usually necessary most months of the year, but it is always available in the bedrooms. Summers can be hot in main areas of house if you are sensitive to tropical heat.

"The most relaxing vacation ever
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."

"Wonderful Spot!
Ho Hum is a wonderful house steps from the gorgeous beach. It was clean and though a little tired, everything worked and Wallace and Tina who help take care of the house were very responsive and welcoming. A heavenly place to spend a vacation!!"

"Really beautiful house, on a stunning beach.........BUT?
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"

"Ho Hum
Recently stayed here and could not have been more happy. 5 stars across the board. From the condition of the house, to the privacy of the beach, to the overall joy from everything combined. This house is definitely a paradise retreat. Could not have imagined staying anywhere else, and cannot wait to be back! Thanks again for letting us share in the joy of your villa, and futhur creating future memories for more years to come! "

"House was Ho Hum
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."

"Vacation in Eleuthera island at Ho Hum House was perfect!
our stay in ho hum house was dreamed, the house located on the beach overlooking the sea and its sunrises is something I will never forget
the island Eleuthera surrounded by many beaches one more beautiful than another, we will certainly return
All the people was very kind"

"Family fun
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
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!"

"Beautiful!!!
We had a wonderful stay at Ho Hum! Right on that pristine, empty beach! The caretaker was great and so was the island!"
