We loved staying at this home on Eleuthera. The house was spacious, with a beautiful outdoor sun room to hang out in. The beach is right in your backyard, with plenty of amazing water sport equipment to use. My family of 11 (including 1 4 year old) had a great family vacation stop here. Perfect place to relax!

We were a group of 5 senior women spending a week in Parley at Sunset. Beautiful house, looked like the photos in the listing. The setting is great. We spent a lot of time in the water - you do NEED water shoes as there are some rocks and lots of shells which you want protection for. It's a great place if you're into shelling, as there are lots of them. The kitchen was ultra stocked in kitchenware and there were lots of towels, snorkling equipment, extra water shoes, but sprays, etc. The Bahama Room was by far the best room of the house. I would highly recommend this home for a vacation you won't want to leave.

Eleuthera Vacation

We were very pleased with our stay at Parlay Sunset! It was a beautiful spot on the calm side of the island. It was so nice to have our own beach! The property was well taken care of. The cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay!

We had a blast staying here, our first time on Eleuthera. The beach in front of the house was the best of anywhere on the island. We're coming back next year and hope to stay at the same house. Thank you for renting us your place.

We enjoyed our stay at Parlay Christmas week. We are a family of 6 adults, and 9, 4, 2 year olds and 6 month old. The space was clean, plenty of towels, lots of dishware, even a Christmas tree:). Our littles enjoyed the playroom. The Roku allowed us to log into our own Netflix and Prime. The house front on a main street with some traffic so we were careful the kids did not use the front door. The backyard was gorgeous! Sand and sun, lots of lounge chairs. A few beach toys. Bring water shoes for all because during low tide the beach is 5 feet of coral before sand. When the tide comes up, the littles could wade shoeless along the shore. Enjoyed the kayaks, life jackets, and snorkel gear. We drove an hour and 15 minutes to visit the Glass Window Bridge, which was cool and included a stop at Queens Bath, then lunch at the little roadside Delish Roadside restaurant, which was nice, but wow the food in the Bahamas is expensive. Every restaurant charges 15% tip plus 10% VAT on top of menu price. So glad we packed meat for three meals and lots of dry goods. The no-seeums are a force to be reckoned with, so glad we brought picaridin wipes and Deep Woods. Shop at Duty Free in Nassau for liquor - half the price of island booze. Got the rest and decompression we needed! hope we can return to explore the island more.

Tarpon Bay Beach Paradise

The property was so beautiful and made you never want to leave! We enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal clear water right outside the backdoor and stargazing under the clear starlit sky while listening to the waves crash just feet from us. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and serene place to be! Diana the owner and Charles the property manager were so kind and helpful the entire trip from start to finish which made a perfect experience even better than we could have ever imagined. We can’t wait to come back!

Nice Place

Nice, big home steps from the beach. Very clean. Had everything we needed including beach towels and gear. Never had a chance to snorkel at the house but there are many opportunities around the island to snorkel.There were only 4 of us in the house so we had plenty of space to spread out. The caretaker, although we never met him, was very helpful.Make sure you know how to use WhatsApp as it is widely used on the island. very helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Diana Pedro

Host profile image
Greetings! My name is Diana Pedro and along with my husband and our children we invite you to our home away from home! While we live in the greater Toronto area we have always loved the beaches of Mexico and the Caribbean. Eleuthera is a beautiful island filled with the softest pink sand beaches in the world and the warmest and friendliest people you will ever meet.

Why they chose this property

We have had the fortune of being able to travel throughout the Caribbean and Mexico over the years. In 2014 we stayed on Eleuthera for a week and absolutely fell in love with it. When we found this beautiful home was for sale we made our dreams of owning our own beach home a reality. Now, we wish to share it with families looking to make memories of their own. We hope you choose to spend your vacation with us at Parlay at Sunset.

What makes this property unique

Privacy is a precious thing while you are on vacation. If you are like us you do not necessarily enjoy being crowded into an all-inclusive resort with a thousand other people. If you like waking up to the birds chirping and the sound of the waves gently lapping against own private beach then Parlay at Sunset is the place for you. With miles of beachfront in both directions, you can go days without seeing another person walk by. Unwind and relax at this oasis.
