Our family stayed 8 nights at Elysium & enjoyed every moment of our stay.
My husband and two boys, ages 16 & 19, used the trail to Fish Bay to fly fish every morning & evening. While they fished in the early morning, I swam laps in the pool, prepared breakfast in the well-stocked kitchen & readied materials for our afternoons of swimming & snorkeling at different North Shore beaches. (The cays at Trunk Bay & Cinnamon Bay, & Waterlemon Cay were our favorite snorkeling spots). We ended many evenings swimming in the private pool.
The property has beach chairs & coolers for guests to use. Since some beaches are more secluded & without amenities, having coolers to pack food & drinks for the day was helpful.
This property is high on a hill with breathtaking views.
Fish Bay is murkier than those on the North Shore. However, my husband & kids felt safe wading knee to waist deep in the water to fly fish & weren't bothered by any little sharks they came into contact with. They wish they would have brought a steel liter. Any sharks they did catch sliced right through their lines (and there aren't any bait & tackle shops, so bring what you need from home). Mary Creek was another favorite fishing spot.
To find the trail to Fish Bay, walk down the driveway & continue down the street. The entry to the unmarked trail is across the street from one of the first houses on the right. The trail and the beach are really rocky, so closed-toe hiking sandals would work better than flip-flops.
