Wonderful Home on the beach near Tarpum Bay
This house is a gem—beautifully appointed, comfortable, clean and extremely convenient to everything southern Eleuthera has to offer. The house came with everything you need to have fun at the beach—chairs, umbrellas, floats, swim shoes, snorkels, kayaks and paddle boards. We had a hard time pulling ourselves away to go anywhere else on the island. The owner, Ian, was very responsive and helpful. Can’t wait to return!

Wonderful property at wonderful location
We spent one week at the house with our family of 5 adults. The house was very clean and is beautifully located with a wonderful view. Swimming is possible right in front of the property in wonderful turquoise water. The owner is very friendly and communication with him was easy.
There are plenty of watertoys available which are pure fun to use.
We would go there immediately again and would definitely recommend this rental.

Dream house!
This property is fantastic. The beach is wonderful. I appreciate the work done to clear some of the rocks down at the beach. The sandy backyard badminton was a hit. The house was great- clean, well laid out and beautiful. I LOVED the extras- I used the paddle board everyday! It’s a nice paddle board. We enjoyed the kayaks, the boogie-boards, beach chairs and more. I really liked having a house copy of The Beach Book there. All these amenities made the house an exceptional experience. I will definitely stay here again!

Awesome stay at By the Sea!
This was our third visit to Eleuthera and our first stay at “By the Sea.” The lovely home is located in a beautiful, safe area and has all of the amenities you need! We cooked most meals at home since the kitchen comes equipped and the view is incredible. It was great to have a washer/ dryer on site and chairs, kayaks, and a paddle board to use at our leisure. The screened-in eating area is convenient for enjoying dinner outside and the sunsets are breathtaking!
“By the Sea” is well-maintained and clean. There are plenty of towels and linens. The best part is the outdoor shower!
When we did contact the owner with a few questions, he was very responsive. He clearly takes pride in his home and wants his guests to be comfortable.

Beautiful views everywhere
This was a fantastic vacation spot for my family and I. We had beautiful sunsets almost every night from the deck. Highly suggest sitting out on the concrete dock late at night with all the house lights off and no moon. It was an experience.
The house itself was very nice but could use some general maintenance. Bugs were annoying so bring bug spray and itch relief. Beach is also a great spot to look for shells.

Such a Special Place!!!!
By the Sea is an amazing property!!!
The location is simply stunning, right on the beach. The sun sets from the deck are incredible.
The property has all the “Accessories” you could ever want (beach chairs/ umbrella/ snorkels/ paddle boards/ Kayaks, the list goes on!!) you simply just need to turn up with you clothes
Ian was also great and his communication prior and during the stay was excellent.
I couldn’t recommend this property enough! We will certainly be back!!

Needs a little TLC
Great location. Nice property, water access is awesome and for the most part secluded. The house overall is very nice, it just needs some TLC and updates. Deck is in rough shape, rotten boards and nails popping up that really are painful to find with your feet. Beach chairs were rusted through and one actually broke as we sat in them. Overall I give it 3 out of 5 stars. Some TLC and new chairs and cooler would be a good start. ( Cooler had no handles and lid was broken) Deck needs work and bathroom fixtures need updating. Did enjoy our stay, and had a little visitor nightly, who was looking for food. He found our nuts the fist night in a bag on the counter, that was the last time we allowed that, we put snacks in the microwave to prevent it after that. Need to mark all the switches not sure what some did. Thanks and we enjoyed our stay except as noted.

Lovely house on the beautiful Carribean - great for a family gathering!
My 2 adult kids and I, along with 1 of their partners, stayed 6 nights at By The Sea in Jan 2024, and had a wonderful visit. We rented a car which was essential for any outings including groceries or other errands. The open-plan ground floor was really conducive to cooking and hanging out. The second floor 'dorm-style' with en suite bath was great for my daughter, who enjoyed more privacy, and also would be perfect for a bunch of kids or young adults. I absolutely loved being able to take morning swims right out the door in the gorgeous Carribean, which was like glass! And the outdoor shower was MAGIC - great for getting rid of sand and salt before coming inside. Bug spray for evenings was needed for microscopic biting bugs. We used the grill for a couple of divine fresh-fish dinners. It's helpful to know that drinking water was not provided. There is a pump that can be used atop a 5-gallon jug of water that is easily purchased at most grocery stores and bodegas. We pre-ordered some grocery essentials, including a few gallons of water, as we arrived on a Sunday and Ian kindly informed me that many grocery stores would be closed. Eleuthera is a magical place and we were stunned at how empty the beautiful beaches were. We loved swimming in the rugged, rougher Atlantic side, though more often snorkeled - and one day rented a boat - on the Carribean side. We loved interacting with the locals - so friendly. We will return!

Our Great Escape from Reality
I was reading a novel a couple of months ago where a part of the story ended up on the island of Eleuthera. It sounded so wonderful I ended up on VRBO researching places to stay and ended up booking Ian's property and was astounded I scored a place I will go back to over and over. It was just what my wife and I needed after twelve months of none stop work interacting with employees and clients.
My wife had no idea where we were going until we approached our connecting flight's gate in Miami. This trip was all about disconnecting from the world. Ian's place was heaven.
All our meals were prepared in a well-appointed kitchen with groceries we purchased at markets throughout the week while exploring the beautiful beaches the island has to offer.
The BBQ grill was a big plus as we grilled fresh lobster and fish sourced from local fishermen, along with steaks we brought blister packed and frozen from the states.
This place has it all if you want to check out from the demands and pressure everyday living throws at you. I could not have been happier having Ian as a host. The house guide provided by Ian is one of the best I've seen.
Thanks Ian for your hospitality!! Cheers

Beauty By The Sea!
I must start with the wonderful host. Even though I never met him, Ian was one of the best hosts I’ve interacted with. It’s rare that someone takes the time to respond quickly & in detail. Furthermore—who is gracious/accommodating with your needs/requests. His is one of the most well-appointed homes I’ve ever stayed at. I appreciated the tasteful decor, without all of the cheesy knickknacks that you typically find. The home was stocked with all of the cooking supplies you could need. Even extra amenities, such as emergency lanterns & first aid kits are available! There was an abundance of beach towels, floats, chairs, etc. All the kayaks, paddle boards, & all beach equipment were in excellent condition, which is not always in the case on the island! It is obvious that everything is well cared for & well-maintained in this home. The outdoor space is a huge draw. The rocky shoreline makes for exquisite snorkeling & the full-face masks allow you to breathe freely & easily underwater for hours! The screened in porch is great to enjoy the outdoors without the risk of the no-see-ums. While having a washer & dryer is a luxury, it is the slightest inconvenience that they’re located outside/underneath the home—but I would rather have had to do my laundry outside than not at all. And it is NOT a reason to keep me from returning. I WILL BE BACK! I had so many more awesome things to say but the character count cut me off: STAY HERE...SLICE OF HEAVEN! GREAT LOCATION!

Great for up to 8
We had 7 adults and had plenty of room. The house is super cute with lots of outdoor seating. Hosts had plenty of towels for bathing and seperate ones for outdoors. Had a room full of snorkel gear, floats, umbrella and cooler. Loved the deck down at the beach. It is a little rocky walking into the water but a very short distance and then nice sand. House is in a good location. Can be in Tarpum Bay in 19 minutes and Rock Sound within 15 minutes which has a great store. Would stay again for sure.

Wonderful house in south Eleuthera
We had an absolutely perfect stay at Ian's place.
The house is magnificent, everything is new with a very neat decoration, the bedding is also new and very comfortable.
Everything is perfectly clean, sheets, towels and beach towels which are also in quantity, it was perfect.
The kitchen is very functional with also everything you need for cooking and impeccable crockery.
As for the setting, it's just idyllic. The view of the sea is splendid and the sunsets unique, we loved these moments in the evening admiring them from the deck.
We also loved the kayak and paddle rides.
Only delicious moments that really make you want to come back to this house.
The proximity of Tarpum Bay is also very pleasant, the village is charming. There are also many very accessible beaches, each more incredible than the next.
Communication with Ian was easy, he gave us good addresses for boat tours and car rental.
We highly recommend this house which is a little gem as much as Eleuthera which is truly an island to discover.

Paradise By the Sea
Our family had an absolutely amazing trip to Eleuthera and it was due in no small part to having picked By the Sea as our VRBO. The deck down by the beach was the perfect place for sunsets and coffee in the morning. All of us had a blast snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking on our own little slice of beach. The hammock down by the water was great too! The layout of the property was brilliant. The kitchen was the perfect place to cook all the fresh fish we caught, and after, we could eat it out in the screened porch away from the bugs. Ian was a great help to us as well, helping us arrange a car rental and coordinating places for us to get groceries and Kalik on the way down the island during our Sunday arrival. Couldn’t have been happier with our experience!

By The Sea Stay
By The Sea is exactly as listed and very clean. A great property for families. The beach is a mix of rock, sand and more shells than you could ever imagine. My daughter was in heaven exploring and collecting shells and looking for “creatures”. We saw turtles, a shark, hermit crabs and fish. Kayaking was one of our favorite things to do. Ian is amazing and very responsive. The first day we were there, he called to make sure we could find the house and directed us to a great restaurant after our long day of traveling. He always responded very quickly to any question we had. Be sure to follow his guide of information, every beach or restaurant he recommended was amazing! Will be back for sure!

We had our honeymoon on this island, and have been returning ever since, now with 3 young children. We always rented a house and loved the Island so much, finally decided to buy our own. As long returning visitors and renters, we know what a house should include, to make our guests stay the best imaginable.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
This house feels like a true beach house, rather than a regular day-to-day house. We love the morning sun in the back of the house, the breeze that come across the island from the Atlantic side, and the incredible sunsets from the west.
