THE SPACE
A unique and central location offers access by car and boat to a private peninsula surrounded by water, making this the perfect island‑style getaway for families and boaters. The LUSEA estate includes two rental homes (Starfish Bay and Mermaid Cove), a private residence, on‑site marina, and its own power and water plant, all within gated Eastern Shores. You enjoy true sea‑to‑sea living: the Sea of Abaco to the north and the calm Sugarloaf Canal and lagoon to the south, so there is almost always a protected side for swimming, paddling, or launching water toys.
The property features two private, protected guest docks for boats up to about 55 ft with available 100‑amp power and water (arrange dockage, electric, and water with the owner in advance). A dedicated seating area on the lagoon side offers chairs, tables, sunset views, and a fish‑cleaning station just steps from your boat. High‑speed WiFi covers both homes, all decks, and the docks, so you can work or stream from anywhere on the estate.
The entire property is off‑grid without sacrifice: a large solar power plant provides 24/7 electricity with two diesel generators as backup only, giving you constant power even when the rest of the island is dark. A private water plant combines rainwater harvesting, reverse osmosis, multi‑stage filtration, and UV treatment, so every faucet in both homes delivers clean, great‑tasting drinking water—no need to buy bottled.

Abaco Wedding
Rented both homes to accommodate our family for our wedding. Plenty of privacy at Mermaid and room to stretch out next door at Starfish. Kids enjoyed fishing and all the water sports kept them very busy. Host has this property set up perfectly and communication was never an issue. Can't wait to come back!
