The stay at Sugar Apple was fantastic. It is located in a very quiet and private area with surprisingly little traffic noise from the main road nearby. The views of the Atlantic were perfect for morning coffee and enjoying the sunrise. All equipment in the home functioned perfectly, no issues. The hosts were great and responded to inquiries in a very timely manner and provided great recommendations for our stary. Thank you!
We love staying at Sugar Apple! We are repeat renters because of the pool, the view of the gorgeous ocean, its central location, great indoor space, and the awesome responsiveness of the hosts! The local beaches, within walking distance from the house, are great for snorkeling, swimming, and beachcombing. Looking forward to next time!
The are was beautiful and we had a great view and it was nice having the pool. It would have been nice if the pool had an outdoor shower or at least a water hose to rinse off with. Their was also no way to rinse off after coming home from the beach. The main sliders with the best view were broken and we could not open them. The AC in the middle room did not work so we had to bunk one of the kids with us. They had a washer and dryer and plenty of beach and snorkel gear. The house was was fine for for the last 5 days of our vacation but we would not book with this property again.
Highly recommended! The house is large, open, clean & very well laid-out. Solid Wifi and AC units in every room. The pool alone makes it worth it. You are a 2 minute drive to Rainbow Bay Beach (which is arguably the best beach on the island). There's a grocery not too far away (I forget the name, but it is just south). The Cliffs are also nearby and Rainbow Bay is "centrally" located for road-trips north and south. Communication was good and the Security Deposit was returned in-full promptly. Great experience! If/when we return to Eleuthera, this is where we will stay.
This property is an incredible find. You can see the ocean from the house. We had an amazing stay at this house. The host was excellent and exceptionally helpful and clearly and quickly communicated. We highly recommend this house.
No bbq. Woefully undersupplied. Pans in poor condition. Only 3 beach chairs and too few towels. We were a group of 4. Entire cottage exterior needs paint. Peelings painât and deck boards with piping rusty nails made pool usage precarious. Outdoor table unusable due to feeling paint and rough condition. Many outdoor chairs cracked or broken.
My husband and I spend a month every winter on the island of Eleuthera and always stay in the rainbow bay area. This year we chose Sugar Apple.and absolutely loved it. The house is lovely and super comfortable... the views of the Atlantic are breathtaking, especially while relaxing by the pool. There are so many beaches and places to visit in the area. The location was perfect for awesome sightseeing and then to come home after exploring all day......make dinner and watch the cruise ships passing by while sitting on the deck, was a awesome way to end your day. Josette and Danelo are very helpful, kind people and attentive host's. We highly recommend!!
Very quiet place. Good water pressure. Lots of cupboard space. Grounds and home well maintained. Clean. Lots of space. Pool was great for cooling off. We would definitely book this home again! Excellent location and close to many amenities. Maintenance guy came to fill the pool. Very friendly. ACâs work great!
Fantastic island, welcoming house and managers always available to solve the problems that may arise.
Obviously consider that you are on an undeveloped island where everything is more laid back and the things move slower in an area with a lot of land,bushes and many dirt roads without streetlights.
Towards sunset the sand flies will keep you company swimming in the pool and leaving on your legs an indelible memory of the island with many bites.
Often there can be no electricity and this also means being left without water in the house,but after a couple of hours everything is resolved. It can happen that the inefficiency of the electricity supplier sometimes creates overvoltages to the network that can cause damage to both your devices and those inside the house (e.g. air conditioners) and if this happens during the weekend take into account that, despite the efficiency and industriousness of the property managers, the problem will not be resolved before 4-5 days. Don't try to complain to the owners because they will tell you that this is what can happen when you are in these beautiful but underdeveloped islands.
However,if I could I would pay this price again tomorrow to experience this magnificent island again.
Briana and her sister are excellent managers who always know how to give the right advice and try to be available to solve problems. However, they could sometimes be less business women and more women of heart when their guests are in an emergency situation.
We had such a nice time in sugar apple during our trip to Eleuthera. The location is ideal and the beaches are beautiful. The host were very helpful. We had a pressing question and they responded immediately and were able to answer. The house is roomy and was perfect, for the four of us, we would definitely stay again Wes and Mario loved hidden beach the most and spent so much time snorkeling.
We spent a week at Sugar Apple and loved it! The location is great if you want to explore the entire island and it's very close to Rainbow Bay Beach, one of our favorites. The house itself is laid out well, with three separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a nice kitchen area and living room. It was perfect for our family of four, which includes two teenage boys. The pool is wonderful (and well-maintained), and we used it often after our daily adventures. The host was very responsive to a minor water problem, which was resolved almost immediately. We will definitely consider staying at Sugar Apple again when we return to Eleuthera. Highly recommended.
We tried to cancel at the last minute having no possibility to be at the rental and once the card was processed, it was no longer the hostâs problem, did not even answer my messages. Very disappointed, I use VRBO often and this was not good management. Weâll be on the island again next year but never booking there again even if it looked great on the pictures.
Location was cfntral to most places. Thehview of Atlantic is much closer yhan pics on VRBO and is spectscular. The pool was wonderful for wuick cool c owns. This e a s a vacation of a lifetime. Highly recommend this property.
This property worked well for our family of 5. Very spacious and our kids loved having the pool. We also LOVED that rainbow bay beach was close by. Contact with the owner was great and they even allowed us to drop suitcases off during cleaning so we didn't have to leave them in our vehicle while we explored beaches. Would stay again.
Beautiful house with plenty of room for everyone! Hosts were very quick to respond to any questions and requests. The views are incredible and walking down to hidden beach for sunset was easy and beautiful! Pool was a very nice bonus to a great house!
Love love. I stayed here back in 2019 and I was excited to see they added a pool! The host was great with communication. Only minor issue was the water went out a few times while washing a load of clothes but I didnât mind. Overall, great stay!
Very comfortable home that is well adapted to a family with two young kids (9 and 10). The pool was perfect to cool off, we were there for the last week of July and the weather was hot (38C). The location is peaceful and quiet with few neighbors and very close to two beaches. Food and amenities are expensive on the island and you might not find what you're looking for in the general stores there, so pack your coffee/tea if you are fussy about that. The people of Eleuthera are friendly and accommodating and we felt safe at all times during our stay wherever we went. Make sure to have bug spray for the noseeums!
