This property is fabulous - the view is amazing, the house itself is well equipped for renters, and the beach is private and stunning. The owner is super responsive and easy to work with, and provided several suggestions both prior to and during our stay. Removed one star simply because the island itself has some infrastructure issues (re: power outages) that can be challenging. Not the fault of the owner and nothing they could do about "fixing" the issue (short of installing a generator for those occurrences), but be aware that power loss is a possibility.
We absolutely LOVED our stay the property and on Eleuthera! This home was perfect for exactly what we were seeking- peace, isolation, ocean front. We are active adventurers and divers so the home was perfectly situated where we could access both the north and the south parts of the island. (If you are a diver, go diving with Chad Sinden down in Cape Eleuthera!) The home had everything we could need to cook and be comfortable while also giving us access to a gorgeous windswept beach on the atlantic side. The beds were very comfortable and the AC and Wifi worked perfectly. This is one of our favorite homes we've ever stayed at and we travel a lot!
The house was clean and great layout for teens on one side and parents on other. Only wished for a little shade on the back deck to enjoy the views in the major heat wave. Great proximity to Gov Harbour!
The pictures don’t do this beautiful house justice. Incredible 180 degree Atlantic view from the spacious main room and deck. House has a great floorplan with a large shared living/kitchen/dining space and two bedrooms on either end. Place was spotless, and all the screens worked for bug protection - a rarity on Eleuthera. Good snorkeling on the reef out front and to the left of the house. Would absolutely stay here again.
View from house and beach is spectacular! Nice to have both view from house / deck and then down at the beach level.
House was clean and bright just like the photos.
Will be back for sure!
This is our third time at this rental. We think this house is wonderful! We love the beach and location. Barbi, the owner, is always helpful when we need something. I would highly recommend this house.
Barbi is very reactive to our emails. All was perfectly well organized and as advertised. The house is wonderfully located. It is the perfect location to rest and relax. We had a great family time of peace and tranquility. All was perfect.
This house was beautiful, sitting perched above a lovely beach. There was constant wind with the sound of the ocean and waves crashing on the beach. Nice breeze - although we were there when there was a weather event so it was a bit abnormally windy. We only used the air conditioner once, just to get a little humidity out. The breezes kept us cool. Centrally located to get to great beaches and supplies within 20 minutes north or south. Highly recommend.
The house has 180 degree views of ocean waves breaking on the beach, which has very few people in it. Truly spectacular, soothing setting. The house is simple and very clean with all needed items, which was exactly what we wanted. Very good and friendly communication with barbi the owner and byron the caretaker. I’d love to return for a longer stay!
We (my wife and myself) stayed 30 days in Jan/Feb 2024 in Barbi's beach house. A great place and the response of Barbi (we had questions on minor things) was unbelievable. She reacts within minutes or even seconds. The house was clean, water pressure was great, not even one time we had elecitricity items. We can recomment this villa to everyone (although a bit difficult, we want to come back and this place is very popular, so hard to book...). Especially the beach on the left is unbelievable. No houses, no people, like a deserted island. We had our portable bbq and have eaten there serveral times. Thanks Barbi!!!!
This was our second time to Eleuthera, but first at this house. We were not disappointed. The house is relatively new, nicely laid out, and in good condition. It was stocked well with everything we needed for the beach.
The house is located on a really nice and secluded stretch of beach - very few houses, very few people, and you can walk a long way. There was minimal trash on the beach, and the water is crystal clear with a nice sandy bottom and small waves.
The location is great for access to restaurants and groceries, being about halfway between Governors Harbor and James Cistern. Driving on Eleuthera is always a challenge so the location helped.
I guess my only knock is that the deck chairs are uncomfortable and difficult to adjust. Otherwise I would highly recommend.
The property sits up high and presents a stunning view if the ocean and beach. Only saw a few people at a time up and down the beach. Loved the open center concept. Having full kitchen and a grill that lit quickly and easily every time made preparing meals and snacks a breeze. The beds were quite noisy as others have noted, and the lounge chairs are about ready to be replaced. The paloma on the beach looked like it could have been a good place to while away the time during the day, but the vegetation hasn't been cut back in a while. The property is probably best for a couple or small family (2 bedrooms). The outside showers were an invigorating treat after coming up from the beach. The complimentary snorkel equipment was much appreciated and used to explore the rocks and offshore reef. Very private, secluded and relaxing. Exactly what was needed on this vacation. Enjoyed our stay, would stay again
Wonderful property with beautiful views of the ocean from the back of the house that is all sliding glass doors. Lounge chairs on back deck made sunbathing and star gazing perfect. Very comfy beds, pillows and furniture. Lots of clean towels for bath & beach. Barbi is very professional and responsive. Excellent to work with. Overall a perfect stay.
Hands down one of my top 3 favorite vacations! Bootsies is the perfect location. Close enough to everything by car. Clean, beautiful, and fully stocked with everything, both inside and for the beach. Barbara is an outstanding and attentive host who stayed in touch with me before and during my stay. I haven’t experienced this with any host before. She also gave us so many great tips and suggestions. I would recommend a stay here to everyone I know. I cannot wait to book again!!
Let me just say that the views from this lovely beach house can't be beat! Whether you're inside the house or out on the deck, the views are amazing! The beach itself is very secluded. We only saw 4 other people on the beach the entire week we were there. Very quiet and very relaxing which is what we were looking for. The house is very clean and everything you need is provided. Kitchen items, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella etc. You will need to buy your own toilet paper, hand soap etc. The owner Barbi is very responsive to phone calls and emails. I had to call her once and email a few times and she responded right away. Now for the cons...keep in mind that these are my opinions only and may not reflect ypur opinions or preferences, and some are just things we weren't aware of prior to vacationing in the Bahamas which was our fault for not doing our homework ahead of time. We were not aware that they drive on the left side of the road which was a little scary at first but my husband got used to it pretty quickly. There are random speed bumps on the road which are difficult to see until you get right up on them so be careful. Everything is very expensive here and not every place takes credit cards so bring plenty of cash. The locals are very friendly and welcoming to visitors. We ate at 4 restaurants while visiting and here are my thoughts on those. 1648 was my favorite. Great views from the deck. The staff was amazing and so was the food. I ordered the shrimp and sausage
Wow! This is truly an amazing place! The location, the view of the ocean from the house, and the house itself was beautiful! We had the beach all to ourselves and took long walks, snorkeled, did some fishing and relaxed by the ocean. We stargazed on the deck in the evening! The house had everything we needed and our host was very responsive when we reached out with any questions, and very easy to work with. We would highly recommend staying here - we were sad to leave! You won’t be disappointed!
We had a great stay at this property. Everything was as it appeared on the site and the view is even better in person. Barbi is easy to work with, not that we had any problems :). We would definitely stay here again.
This house and the other one next door that Barbi owns, Bonefish Barbi’s, are both wonderful vacation homes. They’re clean, comfortable and convenient to the airport, Governors Harbour, and other places on the island if you have a car and are inclined to explore. Barbi is very responsive to questions and. Is very easy to work with. After staying in many other places around Governors Harbour over the years, these two houses have been my favorites, which is why I keep coming back to them.
Everything about this house was perfect. I would choose this house again immediately. Beautiful beach right on the doorstep and perfect for snorkeling.
the house is very clean and really has everything you need.
Das Haus entspricht den Bildern. Es liegt wunderschön auf den Klippen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Kommunikation mit Barbi war sehr gut. Das Haus war sehr sauber. Dieses Fleckchen Erde ist einfach traumhaft. Wir würden es gerne wieder buchen.

About the host
Hosted by Barbi Dickison
Rhode Island owners fell in love with Eleuthera on their first trip 15 years ago-- we rented a couple times on the Caribbean side but once we stayed on the Atlantic side that was it for us!! We also own the house next door- Bonefish Barbis Beach Bungalow-vrbo.com/3077- we have lots of reviews on this property.
Why they chose this property
Amazing views from every window- Beautiful deserted white pink soft sand- you can walk for miles north or south. Just walk down the stairs to your beach-- Air conditioned when you need it- but open the doors and hear the waves crash at night! Some of the best snorkeling on Eleuthera is right at your own beach- so many reefs to explore- amazing fish everywhere.
What makes this property unique
If you like quiet, unspoiled natural beauty coupled with a safe and friendly local population you will love Eleuthera. If you are looking for a touristy vacation- shopping, nightlife, jetskis, etc- Eleuthera is not for you.
