Sands of Time is ready for You
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 5 reviews
"The house was clean, nicely decorated and well situated for visiting in Eluthera since it is located approximately mid island. It was well equipped, especially the kitchen. It was just my sister and our husbands visiting for the first time so we spent a lot of time exploring Eluthera, Spanish Wells, and Harbor Island. I did report a leak under the master bedroom window after a driving rain and again after a very rainy day. I felt it very important to report this since I own a second home,too,...

Paradise Bahama Villa
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, 41 reviews
"Right across the street from the best beach we’ve found on the island so far. Firefly type bugs flying around are awesome, other than flies congregating indoors without seemingly any invitation, bugs weren’t a problem. Bunk beds in 3rd bedroom actually suited our 50 year old daughter and her 13 year old daughter just fine! Food prices are very high! Bring your wallet!! Stuff it before you get here! Back up outside grill thankfully made up for seriously dead main grill. Everyone loved our 6 night...

Pineapple Blues....Big Bang for your Buck
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, 65 reviews
"Stayed here to be close to my parents’ rental just one house over (Sweet Merlot). Plenty of space for me and would be perfect for a couple. Nice porch views. AC worked well. Showers hot water heated quickly. Large book selection. Driveway entry is a little steep/ rough but not out of the ordinary for Eleuthera. Would book again."

"The water was beautiful and we really enjoyed the beach at rainbow bay. It’s challenging to get around the settlements because there are very few street signs or signage on businesses. Don’t be afraid to ask around for what you what. We found it to be the easiest."

Bamboo House: Charming Private Tropical Oasis in the Heart of the Village.
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 46 reviews
"My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bamboo House. The host (Pascale) was great to work with and provided excellent recommendations for us to help us plan our stay and was quick to reply to any questions throughout. The housekeeper (Olga) was invaluable in allowing us to disconnect as she came daily to refresh the house and even lended a hand with our laundry. Thanks to the onsite generator, even with a spotty island power grid the AC stayed cold, the showers hot, and the TV on to...

Oceanfront Glass House on Private Deserted Pink Sand Beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 76 reviews
"I have been going to Eleuthera for over 20 years. Every home is different and being on a remote island has its challenges for property owners. This home sits on a great beach with plenty of privacy. It was very clean and the check in process was super easy. Some items are worn, but everything works. The bed in the blue bedroom sways and is super soft (the only negative). Awesome view and nice location."

The weather was hotter than we expected, but AC worked well. I especially enjoyed daily “workouts in the small and very clean pool. Jethro, who lives nearby, was particularly helpful with suggestions for restaurants and activities. Highly recommend."

"Blue Daze is a very nice house a short block away from the south end of the pink sand beach which is stunning. Appliances are all new stainless steel and large. Large new refrigerator /freezer, washing machine and dryer, microwave and gas stove. Our housekeeper, Kava, was superb, cleaning 3 days per week and resolving any questions or problems. Lots of housewares and if we needed something, Kava got it for us. We didn’t use the two attractive bedrooms downstairs'. The master bedroom upstairs is...
