Long Reach is a lovely, secluded two apartment home with panoramic views of the Caribbean and Atlantic sides of the island. Enjoy the breeze and view from the large wrap around deck. And star gazing is spectacular. Yard and garden boast tropical flowers and fruit trees.

Take a leisurely walk or jog along the Atlantic, or meander along the roads in this charmingly beautiful underdeveloped piece of paradise.

Walk through a tide-carved coral chasm to our favorite sheltered beach, and stretch your towel in the shade of the cave, or enjoy the sun on the beach. Several secluded beaches are easy walks from Long Reach.


Restaurant, boat launch, and tennis courts are a short walk away.

  • A wonderful winter getaway for those who desire peace, tranquility and a beautiful island to explore. Our hosts Mark and Bobbi Updegraff helped us find our way around the island by compiling a book with all of the attractions. Our accomodations were clean, comfortable, and enjoyable.

  • My husband, Marc, and I stayed at Long Reach for our honeymoon as a wonderful gift from the homeowners, Bobbi and Mark Updegraff. We couldn't have been more pleased with everything. It was paradise! The house is beautiful and is fully stocked with anything you might need, the area is secluded yet you arent far from places like the Rainbow Inn or Big Rock, and the Bahamians are sooooo friendly and helpful! We particularly appreciated the book the Updegraff's put together, listing all information on anything you could want to do on the island. So helpful! We also appreciated the book they had on the beaches of Eluethra. We went to several each day and it was sheer paradise. Marc and I STRONGLY recommend this vacation rental. You truly won't be disappointed!

  • We are young people and Long Reach was the perfect location for us. Quite near there is great snorkeling - Long Reach lays in the center of the island, so the perfect spot to explore the full beauty ot the island. also surfing spots are not far, but you need a car. Long Reach is perfect!! - fully equiped - you only have to bring your cloths - the rest is there - we had a great time, perfect for full relaxation - never saw so much stars, nice beaches and friendly people...we fully recommend! hope to see you there caro & michi (age 30)

  • Hello Mark and Roberta, I am writing to let you know our stay at Long Reach was pleasant and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for more. When I saw the quilts on the walls I knew we had made the right choice. As a quilter, I appreciated the design and color of your quilts. I have quilts hanging all over my house too. John and the offspring -- they're too old to call children anymore -- enjoyed the fishing, and we all enjoyed the beach and the sea. The night sky viewing was amazing -- you truly have a spot in paradise. Thanks for allowing us to share it.

  • My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Long Reach for a long deserved vacation. We arrived to find a beautiful, secluded home with an unbelievable view of the oceans from the deck. We experienced snorkeling for the first time at Rainbow Beach. Can you imagine a 5 foot Barracuda next to you as you are snorkeling in 30 feet of crystal clear water. We practically lived in the water from morning to night. The vacation home was a actually that, a home away from home. It is very cozy and homelike. We hope to return in the near future. Thanks Bobbi and Mark for the opportunity to visit your little piece of heaven. Jerry & Linda

    It is a difficult decision to share one's home with strangers, but our guests have all been wonderful. It has been a pleasure to serve them. They have treated our house like home in TLC for the property and respect for the owners. We have discovered new places on the island because of the entries in our house journal. Eleuthera may not be for everyone, but it has been a treasure to share with such great guests.

  • Long Reach was a great spot to enjoy rest and relaxation with great friends, Bobbi and Mark. It was wonderful running along the Atlantic Ocean and 5 minutes later along the Caribbean Sea. The snorkling was a blast and the water awesome!
