The island is connected to a larger island of Eleuthera by a short bridge which is protected by a guardhouse. The bridge was built by Lord Trefgarne who was a former owner of the Island. The adjoining waters and flats of Savannah Sound are considered to be a premier bonefishing location, and Windermere's five-mile-long beach is protected by a five-mile-long reef that is rich in fish and underwater flora. It is also located in the same bay as Camp Bahamas. There are also many sand crabs and whale sharks.

The island is populated with private homes and the Windermere Island Club.[1] A vacation home rental on Windermere Island is the only way to access this private island. Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles spent their 1981 honeymoon on the island. Famous residents have included Jacques-Yves Cousteau, The Duke and Duchess of Abercorn (James Hamilton, 5th Duke of Abercorn), Toni Braxton, India Hicks, and The Johnson Family (Lyndon B. Johnson).

In April 2008, the island was a setting for the wedding of singer-songwriter Mariah Carey and comedian Nick Cannon, who were married at Carey’s private residence on the island.[2]
