This is an amazing property-very zen! Loved the fantastic 200 degree views, sunrises and sunsets, constant sound of the surf and continuous breeze, even in late July. Location near the airport and other islands to visit via ferry too! This is a must stay place.

The cottages were very clean, in a good location and had everything we needed. Host was very accommodating and even let us come back to the property after our flight was unexpectedly canceled. Great experience, we hope to come back soon and would love to stay at this property again!! We were especially glad it had a cooler, ice packs and beach chairs.

Seascape Cottage was perfect. Great location, well stocked, comfortable bed, stunning views, great porch for morning coffee, AC, and a 2-minute walk to a fabulous, secluded beach. It was perfect for our anniversary get-away. The hosts were very responsive and provided a packet of great information about the cottage and island. Highly recommend!

We wish there was an option to give more than 5 stars! The place was just as described and totally fabulous. Nicole was great and anwered our question when we had them, and the Itenerary and trip planner that was provided was a great guide for the Island. Everything was exactly accurate, and so helpful for our first visit to Eleuthera. We will definetly stay there again and if you are considering a trip to the Islands, stop right now and book this place. You will not be disappointed!!

The cabin is small but well appointed. The kitchen was pretty well stocked. The view is fantastic and can be seen from the bed and kitchen table. We thought it was an excellent location for doing a lot of beach exploring and getting to the ferry to Spanish Wells. Felt very safe and was very quiet. No washer or dryer. Lots of towels, great beach chairs, a cooler, and ice packs for cooler. Near grocery stores and the nice Front porch restaurant( Only place we would drive to at night - mostly had lunch out and simple dinner in). Very comfortable bed. easy parking.

Great Location to explore island or just relax on your deck overlooking the water.

Cottage was what we were looking for in privacy and low key. Hatchet Bay was a quiet little town and the people were great.

So simple, so wonderful!

My life partner and I stayed for four nights and had the most enjoyable stay! We did not rent a car and were able to walk to a private beach to a convenience store and had multiple restaurant options. We absolutely adore the Bahamian people for their kindness and generosity.

We thoroughly enjoyed this private small cottage surrounded by inspiring ocean views and so close to the Triple TLC General Store where we found many necessary items for our fridge. The front porch restaurant is great and nearby. Hosts were accessible and helpful.
