Five Palms Beach House is a stunning oceanfront property in Eleuthera. Located inside the sleepy town of Tarpum Bay, on its own stretch of beach (with some of the most amazing reefs), it is the type of vacation home that people DREAM about. As you round the top of the driveway, the sight of the turquoise water will take your breath away...until you see the gorgeous yellow house (which you will soon call your home).
This was our 5th stay at Five Palms. As a long time guest I can tell you that the ONLY thing that has changed here has been the height of our children and the ever growing list of amenities the house has at your disposal. Need a car=check. High chair=check. Wine fridge (stocked)=check. Gorgeous views=check. Snorkel gear, sailboat, SUPs, kayak=check. Fantastic tiki hut for those that want to be by the water but not in the sun=check. This house has it all!
The staff (Beryl, Julian, Earlene) are kind, hardworking, hilariously funny with their stories of the island, and know so much about the island. Meet them once and you are family forever. Working with the owners to arrange your stay and pickup once you are on the island is as easy as drinking the margarita you made from the fun Margarita machine in the kitchen.
Our stay this year was with 13 people--4 of which were teenage boys. Phones and iPads were put away for TEN days. TEN days people! If that isn't island magic I don't know what is. The house is superbly set up with each nook allowing for privacy while at the same time having enough space for large groups to gather and chat. The house caters to large families with enough kitchen items to feed at least 20, seating for huge groups (we easily sat 13 at the dinner table), two dishwashers, two refrigerators, two coffee pots. Every aspect of the house has been well thought out. It is a house meant to be enjoyed. It reminds me of my Italian grandmother, it takes you in, hugs you and makes you fall more in love with it every time you visit.
I read somewhere that , “home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.” That is Five Palms Beach House.
