A GREAT escape for anyone who enjoys the natural beauty of the Bahamas. The location alone is worth everything! The local people will treat you like family unpretentious and genuine. the lagoon is full of surprises. The sunsets are unforgetable. The beaches are a dream. The house is all you need to relax and renew your spirits. Great work Scott and Wendy and phillip! This has been a highlight of our familys travels!! p.s get fresh fish from the local fishermen it's the BEST!

We miss Bahama Sunset so badly that we look back on this site still not believing that we stayed at this amazing place! If you are reading this .... trust us and just BOOK IT! We contemplated on several places before deciding on this one and had no regrets. We visited the other homes we considered and was so glad that we made the choice that we did. Bahama Sunset is PERFECT. One advise: READ ALL THE JOURNALS (books where past guest wrote their advice and adventures during their stay)! It was our bible! It gave us hints on places to shop for our groceries, where to get gas, and all amazing places to discover and explore! Along with the journals we read (and brought with us everywhere) the "Elusive Beaches of Eleuthera". It is so worth the time to read through these pages as they contain pretty much all secrets of the island! We can't tell you enough how unforgettable our stay was. Thank you Scott and Phillip ... for everything.

We loved "our" little place in the sun. The only downside was that we had to return to reality at the end of our week. The kitchen was very well set up for preparing meals. The beds were comfortable. The cottage was very clean. The shower was great! We loved sitting on the porch overlooking the water. While there wasn't a beach, snorkeling was possible right below the deck. The caretaker, Philip, was very kind to bring us fresh tomatoes from his garden. We would definitely return. Jeff

Scott, Wow wee. What a wonderful part of paradise. You've got the premier cliffsde dwelling. The hugh rocks make such a wonderous ocean garden filled with anything we have seen. From purple fans to seargent fish and ever so guardful bugles, lovely drop off caverns and swims through overhangs and yes a lionfish. Most bestest craziest moment in the cove was snorkling around a yellow spotted 3 foot ray on the bottom when from off the ocean side flying by like a dream a 6 foot wide southern eagle ray.OMG. Later that day from the deck The whole family of four sailed past. yeahhhhhhh. It's like they came to say goodbye while off in the distance a three master came over the horizon. Thank you. Left message w/ Phillip. Who was very helpful BTW. Brought us fresh vegs one day. In your notes please communicate that Phillip will not be at the airport as there are apparently loyalty issues w/ the taxi services. Also he will not bring the guests back to the airport fot the same reason. I guess that's OK but we were surprized. Please make those two facts known in your notes sheet. Sincerely, The Daceys Lastly we are keen on going there again so look for us in your mail someday.

We had a terrific time in Eleuthera.You have a very special place there in Gregory Town; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The snorkeling was great in the lagoon right out back -- we saw sting rays, a sea turtle, and even a very curious little Ramora who tried tirelessly to attach himself to us (picture attached). Philip was an absolute gem -- what a terrific person to have working for you. And you were right, everyone on the island knew him -- everyone from our taxi drivers (Stanton & Dr Seabreeze) to a woman in the Bluff Settlement who let us use her phone. Thanks again Scott. We hope to visit the island again sometime down the road. If we stay in Gregory Town, we'll be sure to get in touch with you again. Best wishes, Mike & Rebecca

Our trip to Eleuthera was the perfect way for us to start our new adventure! Bahama Sunset is AMAZING! It is exactly what we had hoped for and more! Phillip was wonderful and we missed him so much. He went as far as accommodating our crazy request to see a pineapple field which he took us to see and took the time to come by several times to try catch up with us so he can show David how to cut open a coconut! We were blessed to have met SOME of the family members too ! The whole trip was an adventure in itself full of small crazy mini adventures that made us realized that together we can work through ANYTHING. We got our SUV stuck in the sand in Rainbow Bay for almost an hour , explored every nook and cranny of the island which meant turning down every gravel road I can talk David into, driving the 3 miles on the craziest, scariest, most fun gravel road past Bannerman's Town to discover the most amazing beach we have ever seen! Did we mention running out of gas a few hours before our flight and having to hitch hike to the closest gas station!? Luckily the man who used to own Rainbow Inn stopped to help us out! We can spend days telling our adventure, every juicy detail! We have seen the most amazing scenery, met the kindest most hospitable people, and experienced the most incredible 9 days full of adventure that we would forever share with anyone who would stop long enough to listen! AND, are fortunate enough to have done so together. We can't imagine a better way to celebrate our 1st Anniversary, our move, our new adventure ... our life! Thank you Scott for sharing your home with us. Rest assured, you will be hearing from us through the years! With warmest regard, David and Annaleah Prevatt

We have just returned from our (all too brief) visit to your Bahama Sunset (April 10-13, 2010) The trip as a surprise for my wife as part of our Silver Wedding Anniversary – she didn't even know where we were going until after we got on the plane. So, as you can probably imagine, the potential implications of any kind of mistake/disaster were likely to be pretty serious!!!No need to worry for even a second – this place is just ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! A truly idyllic setting, very peaceful and really relaxing, yet very well-appointed with everything you could need. We loved the laid-back nature of the island, the great snorkeling in the "lagoon" at the bottom of the steps, and just lazing around taking in the views from the deck. Many, many thanks indeed to you Scott, and also to Phillip (Thompson) who is a gem – really friendly, efficient, and very helpful. To anyone considering a stay at Bahama Sunset – believe everything you see and read, and then still be prepared to be blown away by the beauty of this cottage, the setting, and the island.Needless to say, the "surprise trip" was a complete success....... and we WILL be back!!

Just got back from a too short, 3 night stay on Eleuthera. Wonderful island, and Bahama Sunset is great house in a unique and spectacular setting. Very clean, and the owner Scott and caretaker Phillip were very responsive to any questions or needs that we had. As Scott points out, not a good place for young kids due to the cliffside location, but I would highly recommend Bahama Sunset to adults seeking a memorable vacation. We hope to be back someday!
