beach front : locations de vacances

This is a great villa in a stunning location on Eleuthera. The setting immediately puts in you into vacation mode - with the gorgeous Caribbean sea stretching out in front of you. Rainbow Bay beach is a spectacular beach and a peaceful quick walk from the villa. The double kayak and some beach gear (and tons of beach towels) make for a great beach day. You could spend your whole vaca at the villa and the local beach, but there is so much to explore - so definitely book a car. The house was spotless, safe, comfortable, and well-provisioned; the porch and pool really add to the space. A couple caveats: as others have mentioned, some of the porch/deck furniture was overly worn or broken (though repairs seemed to be underway during our stay) and we had folks working on the grounds during two of our days (they do a great job, but it impinged on the private nature of the villa). That said, we had an overwhelmingly positive experience and recommend the villa.

The house was perfected located in Western View, 2 minute walk from a beautiful beach. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had an excellent time and recommend this home for any family looking for an excellent adventure on Spanish Wells.

We stayed at Joy & Dom’s place for our baby moon. It was the perfect location and very walkable to multiple businesses in the heart of Governors Harbor. I highly recommend staying here if this is your first time visiting Eleuthera and you want to get the lay of the land. Joy & Dom provided a list of wonderful recommendations prior to arrival and were very responsive with any questions we had. The home also had everything we need in terms of beach chairs, towels, cooler, etc. We absolutely fell in love with Eleuthera and will be coming back in the near future!

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. They were very responsive when we had questions about the area. We employed Denny to take us on a tour in his boat and it was awesome. He has lived here all his life and is very knowledgeable about the area and especially what the sound and ocean has to offer. We did a 4 hour excursion and did some fishing, explored a plane wreckage, gathered some conchs, swam with turtles and enjoyed some conch ceviche on the boat. The location is great as it puts you centrally in the island for trips north or south. We would come back here if we visit in the future.

The location and the view are awesome!!! The mattress in the master bedroom was very comfortable. If you are looking for privacy, peace and quiet, this villa will meet all your expectations! The road to get to this villa is rough. We rented and jeep and I was glad we did. You do not need a 4X4, but a vehicle with some clearance would be best and will also get you to different secluded beaches around the island.

My wife, 2 teenaged children and I had a wonderful time at Pedro and Karen’s place. With its own private beach, it was peaceful and beautiful. The home was very comfortable and perfectly equipped. It was our first time in the Bahamas, and the village of Current provided an excellent glimpse of the evolving island culture. Current Beach is spectacular. We enjoyed driving to other local sights as well and exploring.

My husband and I stayed at the Bird Cage for a quick wedding anniversary trip, and it was a wonderful experience. The Bird Cage was immaculate, with a modern and tastefully decorated interior. Although we spent most of our time indoors, the location was convenient, being just a short drive from Governor's Harbour, ATMs, shops, and more. Check-in was very smooth, and Solivia graciously allowed us to arrive early. She personalized our stay with a beautiful welcome message, wine, candles, and drinks in the fridge. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy for us to prepare meals at home. We felt so comfortable and relaxed that we didn’t want to leave. We would definitely recommend this place to couples looking for a relaxing and private getaway. You won't regret it! Thank you, Solivia; we will be back for sure!

Great family vacation spot. We had a wonderful week. Sea turtles and rays greet you right off the beach as you paddle by. Perfect, simple Bahama get away.

Would book this place again in a heartbeat. Eleuthera is a special place that I could go on and on about. (Family of 4, 8 and 10 year old girls, you will have a great time if you have a sense of adventure and want to explore. A break from the typical resort experience). The deck on the back of Kathy's house, the view of the Caribbean (and the crazy bright stars at night), and the quality of the home were incredible. Kathy is a great host and Wallace was right on point on all fronts (we had a nail in a tire on the rental car and this legend dropped us off a different car, had the tire repaired, and swapped it out while we were at dinner like it never happened). Book with confidence. One comment I would point out for folks visiting the island for the first time, like us, is that there are fewer restaurants and creature comforts staying in the north. Governor's Harbor to the south is more populated and has more to offer as far as restaurants, markets, etc. if that is what you want.
