Beautiful cottage in a great location, with exactly what we needed for a comfortable stay. The Hosts were wonderful. Close to town, but not too close, and a great jumping off point for our adventures. The view from the dock was photo worthy and close enough to stroll down a few times per day. Great experience.

Amazing time in paradise

It was a little rough getting to the island (Southern Air) and leaving(Southern Air again) but in between was amazing time. The beaches were surreal, any one you went to. As for the house, it was perfect for me and my girlfriend. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of room for us. The view of the ocean was cool as well. Chris and Ashley were great with car rental and any issues at the house. Would definetly come back again.

Perfect getaway

This was the perfect location for our vacation, it was our first time out of the USA and it was thr best experience we could ask for. The property was secluded enough to where you dont here any traffic yes right near neighbors but they are all wonderful and kind and hardly see anybody when there, the deck by the property was breath taking especially during sunset. Also great area for pictures!! Highly recommend and and we will be back! Thank you for such a wonderful vacation!!

Amazing stay!

This house is just adorable! Super clean and with all the essentials. You have great snorkeling just steps away. The house is a great location, just minutes to gas station, grocery store. Chris was super nice and helpful! I would return to this house or any other of his properties. Eleuthera is breathtaking everywhere you go!! Beautiful, pristine beaches that you have to yourself!

Cozy stay in paradise

Great little cottage for a romantic getaway (7 nights) in a prime location on the island. Cozy with nice touches like the crown molding :) and the price is right. The owners shared a thorough pdf on the cottage and surroundings - beach/island info in the cottage was also super helpful. Cottage owner Chris was fast and easy to work with on our rental car. Electricity tends to go out here and there, but, you know its an island - just light a candle! Great restaurants in Governor's Harbor - Tippy's was our favorite except Fish Fry on Friday night downtown - check it out!

There are no words to describe how beautiful this island is and the cottage is just as wonderful! Exactly as described! The owners Chris and Ashley were absolutely amazing and so quick with any and all of our questions! We rented our car through Chris, and I have never had such a smooth experience! Our neighbors were so thoughtful and kind, even gave us “neighborly mangos”, which were so good! Thank you all for the best experience!!

Great little place to stay!

Location was easy to find. Ashley and Chris are great. We rented our car from them. Ashley picked us up from Rock Sound airport, stopped by grocery store! The location was centrally located for our plans. We travelled to Lighthouse beach at the south end, all the way to the glass window bridge. We adventured every stop in between. Eleuthera Vibes was exactly what expected... clean & comfortable. We made our own breakfast and lunch every day, eating out in evening. Loved the Friday night fish fry. Lots of fun. All together, loved our trip to Eleuthera! Thank you Ashley and Chris!

Charming vacation home

We had a wonderful experience at Eleuthera Vibes. It’s not just a rental property, it’s a vacation home with everything that you could possibly need to make your vacation complete. The vacation home comes with beach towels, snorkelling gear, beach chairs, a kayak and paddle board which are a huge bonus in Eleuthera. They really thought of everything. Eleuthera Vibes is charming, modern and clean. Our stay was perfect! Marielbys and Thomas were always prompt with communication and provided an extensive guide to Eluethera which was super helpful. We also rented a vehicle from Chris (Eleuthera Vibes host) and have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. He even picked us up from the airport and drove us to the property, making sure to show us a spectacular beach along the way. We would 100% return to Eleuthera Vibes : )

Nice Bungalow in central location

The Eleuthera Vibes was a cute little bungalow that had everything needed for adventurers! We wanted somewhere centrally located so we could explore sights and restaurants without a long drive for 2 nights. This fit the bill! It is not your place if you want a pristine beach right in front of your house, it is if you want to go exploring for beaches and other locations. The kitchen is set up nicely for preparing a small meal if desired. Ashely was very intuitive in setting everything up and even thought we did not require any assistance from her, she let me know if we needed anything to reach out to her. I also appreciated the detailed information guide that was sent to assist visitors. Very well thought out. All in all, it was a perfect choice for our anniversary 2 night adventure!

We enjoyed our stay at this Eleuthera rental and appreciated the quiet, peaceful setting. The host was responsive. The house was very clean, and the bedding and towels smelled freshly laundered. We also appreciated the thoughtful welcome snacks and beverages left out for us on arrival.The bed was comfortable and the bedding was soft, though the main pillows were a bit lumpy and could use replacing.A few things future guests should know: despite the listing, there is no laundry on site. There are also no hooks anywhere in the house for hanging swimsuits or towels, which would be a simple but very helpful upgrade. A full-length mirror, a small table on the porch, and a ceiling fan would also improve comfort. The kitchen was functional, but minimally stocked. The nonstick pans are very scratched and could use replacing. The kitchen window also lets in a lot of early morning light and would benefit from a shade. Wi-Fi was spotty during our stay and went out on two occasions.Beach equipment was stored in a pile on the porch and looked like it hadn’t been used recently. The dock is about four houses down (roughly 300-400 feet away), not visible from the rental, and access is via a rocky shoreline. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable home in a quiet area and a good base for exploring Eleuthera. With a few simple upgrades, it could be an even better experience.

Breanna thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and found our place to be clean and comfy with the welcome snacks and beverages. I would like to address some (not all - as there are so many) of your additional comments/complaints. We never heard from you during your stay. We do not advertise we have a laundry on site and our listing specifically states a coin laundry is nearby. A lot of what you are mentioning is completely subjective and for a great little home for around $170 per night where you can walk to the ocean I am not sure what you were expecting, but we are a great value. this review is a bit disappointing as a host to be honest. Thank you, Marielbys

A bit deceiving. I always give benefit of doubt never a bad review, even now. Pictures. I read the great information packet and used suggestions. Captain Ryan Neilly is great for excursions. We used Chris for our rental car and had to deal with a faulty air pressure gauge, he said. The next day it was flat and we had to fix it. Beach supplies were moldy and dirty, rusted single chair. Grill handle was gone, we did get charcoal and grilled some fish we caught for dinner. The inside was nice and clean, very comfortable bed, the supplies in kitchen were simple, minimal. We bought gallon water,and passed on the beach equipment. We walked down to the dock first thing and did not see a ladder to climb in or out over the rough coral. Beach pictures on Expedia do not say where and how far. next day-We noticed the kitchen window was not closing right, so we pushed on it and did our best. (They plan to replace). Later we came back, and stayed in early evening, due to Mosquitoes, then the wifi went out. Mosquitos were worse and we were bitten up even sleeping under the sheets. We let them know in the morning. Morning we waited for her to come fix the wifi, kept killing mosquitos, stove needed reset. Great dinner at Pascals, but a rough road. We came in early killing mosquitoes many times, and taping up the window and door. Then the power went out around 9:30PM. We slept under covers, no AC, and it came back on at 7AM.(Island time) Packed, showered and left itchy.
