A home away from home

The house was perfect for our family. The bed rooms are at opposite sides of the house and have their own bathrooms. Lots of privacy There is a pull-out bed too in the living room. We used the couches a couple of nights. There were lots of sheets and pillows. The beach is perfect. We spent a lot of time enjoying it and relaxing. The home owner was responsive and very nice to work with. I'd stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Perfect

My wife and I have rented extensively throughout the island, and we consistently favor the Tarpum Bay area. This property is truly exceptional for families. The spacious house is well-stocked with amenities and boasts one of the best ocean views we've encountered. While the shoreline is primarily rocky, numerous sandy areas are easily accessible nearby.The highlight of this property is the incredible marine life directly offshore. Our two boys (ages 10-12) spent hours snorkeling in the crystal-clear, shallow water (less than 6 feet deep), encountering rays, a diverse array of fish, baby sharks, dolphins, and turtles daily. A short walk to the right of the property offers excellent shore fishing.This is, without a doubt, the best family rental we've experienced, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it and rent again if available. Thank you for an amazing vacation!P.S. Updating the interior and waterfront photos would further enhance the property's online presentation.

Oceanfront patio with 4 chaise lounges and round table with 4 chairs

Cotton Bay paradise

We spent a week at this beautiful beachfront location and wish we had stayed longer! This property boasts private bathrooms for each of the multiple bedrooms and they all have at least one view of the water, whether it is the oceanfront or the lagoon out back.The housekeeper cooked the food we provided for our dinners and everything was top notch! We would highly recommend this property and hope to visit again .

We did parlay at sunset ;)

Parlay at Sunset is a great villa. I was amazed how much rooms and space we had. Many bedrooms, sofas, kitchen appliances, etc. On the first day when we reached the patio, we saw the beach setup with all the kayaks, paddle boards , we knew we made the right choice. This villa is spacious, clean, directly on the beach. Just amazing !

Halcyon has the best views on Eleuthera...enjoy!

An incredible stay at Halcyon!!

We spent two weeks renting this slice of heaven on earth. Let’s start with Eleuthera, it’s a beautiful island, with some of the most incredible (and also quiet) beaches. We are so happy we chose to stay here. This property is located on Windermere Island (which is a private and gated community). We felt very safe during our whole stay. The house itself is incredible. From the time you pull into the driveway you can already see the unbelievably blue waters. It’s well decorated, clean and spacious. The bed is very comfortable! Everything you could possibly need is at the house. The view from the back porch is incredible and with so many seating options, you can get a view from every angle. The pool is fantastic, well maintained and a great temperature. Steps to the private beach take you to another world entirely. The air conditioning units are very good. They cool down large spaces very quickly. The internet connection is fantastic. We had good connection in every room, even a great connection down at the pool. The location is great, it’s not a long drive to Rock Sound or Governors Harbor (both great spots to see more of Eleuthera). The staff that maintain the house are amazing. Shoutout to Nish who is so kind, so welcoming and so helpful. She made us feel right at home. She keeps the house spotless and thoughtfully takes care of guests. We honestly couldn’t be happier with our stay, we’re only sad it’s over!

Family vacation. The entire experience was amazing. One if a kind experience in paradise

The property was beautifully maintained , the ocean views were stunning . We very quickly felt right at home . The heated pool was a family favourite .! The unique architecture was fascinating and the layout of the property suited a busy family perfectly . We had a small power concern and the maintenance contact answered immediately and helped us quickly resolve the issue . The perfect , private holiday house . Everything was organized and ready for us . We used the bicycles provided and toured the pathways around the island . Everyone was so friendly . Would highly recommend spending time at Indigo house !
