Welcome to "Touch Of Class" in beautiful Little Bay, Eleuthera. Located on the tranquil blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. This breathtaking contemporary master piece has just completed construction in March, 2006. We invite you to indulge yourself in our nearly 900 square foot villa with 1100 square feet teak wood deck. The entire deck wraps around the villa with stainless steel posts, teak hand rails and stainless steel wires to optimize your unforgettable view.
Great News!! We just got an awesome Clear Blue Hawaiian kayak!! Probably the only one on the island! It is 100% see through kayak check out the link on the website.
The interior of Touch Of Class has one of a kind craftsmanship with 14 foot high vaulted cypress ceilings, eight foot glass doors all with water views, customized mood lighting complete with dimmer switches for you to create an ambiance of your very own. We believe at Touch Of Class that comfort is key while vacationing. This is why we provide central air conditioner, ceiling fans and a fully equipped kitchen including ice maker, all stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. We also provide LCD television with satellite, Sirius satellite radio, CD and DVD player, surround sound indoor/outdoor stereo, 16 foot 'L'- shaped leather couch and Egyptian cotton sheets on a king sized bed to end the day on.
Now that we have given you everything you could possibly wish for on the inside, take a deep breathe while we venture outdoors. Our spacious 12 foot x 60 foot Caribbean side of the deck has 180 degree unobstructed ocean views. A complete outdoor dining area as well as two sun loungers all made of top of the line Burmese teak wood. This is an excellent spot to count the falling stars once you have watched the sun disappear on the horizon. Below the deck is a winding staircase that leads you directly to the crystal-clear waters edge with a soft sand bottom entry way. You may also access the white sand beach directly to the left of the villa.
There are endless things to do while here at Touch Of Class or not for that matter. You can explore the Caribbean marine wild life in our clear-see thru kayak (the only one on the island-see link for more info.) We also provide snorkeling equipment for two. There is endless space to go on walks outdoors to admire the plentiful purple bougainvillea and simply enjoy all the fresh air. When you are finished with all of your outdoor adventures, feel 'free' to enjoy our secluded outdoor shower. There is nothing quite like it!

A beautiful place

Location is GREAT. This patch of water is shallow enough to sit in with your beer, and has great snorkeling a short distance out. Drinking coffee from the porch each morning, we watched a 5 foot sting ray make his rounds right by the steps to the water. Many others that were smaller came by too. The Lemon Shark made his apprearance, again, right by the steps. Bone fish schools torpedoed in to grab their meal. Pretty mesmerizing. Easy to grab the gear and jump in for a close look. Large baracuda, lobster, and colorful fish and coral. The sunsets are in view from the porch (at least in January)- this didn't show in pictures, so we were wondering. We missed it once while on an adventure and made sure not to miss another one. There's nothing like a cocktail on that porch at Sunset. Take the kayak around the bend to the right and make your way to Ten Bay Beach (about 40 minute paddle). Drive to it in 5 minutes. Great snorkeling along the way- blue blue blue water. Ten Bay Beach is lovely- the Sand Dollars are EVERYWHERE! It rivals any Caribbean side beach we traveled to short of Light House Beach- which is worth the drive for sure. Otherwise, just hanging in the hood was the way to go. Surfer's beach was great too, but the Atlantic in January is kind of fierce. Club Med Beach would be another short venture that's beautiful if the Atlantic is cooperating. Bugs weren't too bad. Put the Deet on before it starts and it will be a non-issue - dawn and dusk. We gave the house a 4 for a few reasons: The fridge conked out and after 4 days, we were still eating out of the cooler. Ice is not cheap. Stuart was very receptive and available. It's just that nothing is immediate on Eleuthera. Natasha's number that was in our packet was disconnected and her new number was not in an obvious place. The snorkel gear is missing parts. They need new straps and clips on some of the fins and snorkels. I had to rig a snorkel to the mask with string to keep it in place. The screens were not on the sliding doors except for one side door. No fresh air or listening to the water at night (we love to do that). You need the screens because of the bugs at dawn. I suspect Irene may have damaged them back in August- they look like they used to be there. We would stay here again. We would recommend it to others.

This is a wonderful place for complete relaxation, and the view is lovely. I would absolutely go again, except for the bugs! Even with the screened windows shut, the bugs still found their way in as the screens are not tight enough against all the windows. If the owner fixes this one problem, it would indeed be paradise.

We were at Touch of Class in early August 2009. The home was exactly as advertised and we had a very pleasant week. Although we enjoyed exploring Eleuthera, we were always happy to make the turn onto the little road leading to TOC and get into the water there at the house. Don't go to Eleuthera expecting everything close by and all the decisions already made for you; this is a destination that requires a hearty spirit and at least some taste for adventure, as things are quite spread out and signage and maps are both in short supply on the island. The location is great for exploring - in between Palmetto Point and Tarpum Bay - and the house makes a great launching point for daily adventures. That being said, you could have a perfectly wonderful week if you never chose to leave Little Bay and Touch of Class except to pick up supplies. The kitchen is great, the satellite TV and radio were nice, central air was awesome in the heat of summer, and the outdoor grill was a nice touch. There are plenty of Eleuthera notes in a binder and lots of guest comments and suggestions, but you'll still want to do thorough research before you arrive. The locals are all very friendly and helpful, though they are sometimes challenged when you ask for directions... after all, they know where everything is already. If you can find a good map before you go - or an Eleuthera guide book to bring along - that would be very helpful. A note on vehicle rentals: Adjust your expectations and do what you can to make sure you get a good set of wheels. Anything off the beaten path - and EVERYTHING is off the beaten path - warrants an SUV. The two we had (one broke down) were a decade old, well-worn, and a little scary. That seems to be the norm. Check to make sure the spare tire is good and all the jack parts are in the vehicle. This is a really fun place to vacation and Touch of Class is a great place to stay. The house is quality built and appointed - not like a cheap beach house, but more like someone's home away from home. Comfort and quality abound. While we wouldn't recommend Eleuthera to people who require a lot of entertainment or shopping, Touch of Class is a tremendous place for anyone looking to experience the Out Islands with most of the comforts of home. If you want to see stars like you've never seen them just steps away from the spectacular Caribbean waters - and have some self-reliance and a spirit of adventure - Touch of Class is a great place to stay.

We stayed at this property July 11-18, 2009. My husband keeps saying it was the BEST vacation we ever took! I could immediately feel the stress draining from my body as I sat on the huge deck overlooking the Caribbean! Everything was just as stated on the site. We would go out and explore the island and come back and feel at home! Property is well maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a get-away. The island doesn't have much night life if that is what you are looking for (which we were not!). Captain Jack's and the Sunset Inn were great places for dinner. Lots of beaches to explore. Owners/manager very helpful. There are binders filled with linformation about the area at the property.

My Husband and I stayed at this place for 5 days. Fully equiped with everything you need as if you were back home except with an amazing beach. The view of the water is breathtaking, we too the kayak out to the little island there in the photo. Every morning we sat out and watch the views of the ocean, snorkeled and even did some fishing. Very secluded place, I would definately stay here again, Stuart was great setting us up with everything. Highly recommend this place to anyone
