February 18th, 2019: My husband and I were looking for a quiet, private home with beach access. Getaway definitely delivered. There was a kayak, snorkeling equipment (we brought our own) beach umbrella, and bicycles for our use. Pedro, thank you for the use of your cooler. There was plenty of towels, sheets, etc. the place was so fantastic, we hated to leave, so we didn’t do as much touring as we had originally planned. We did make it to several local attractions and as far down as Sky Beach, which is a beautiful pink sand beach. Once we arrived at Getaway, we took stock of what was available at the house and then hit a grocery store and bought other staples. Be prepared to pay more for anything you buy, but you should expect that since everything is imported onto the island. We did buy produce from a couple of veggie and fruit vendors along the road. We had a lunch and dinner at Daddy Joes and dinner and take out from Seven Seas. We had a beach during low tides, but we didn’t mind as we spent our time either in the water or lounging on the beach chairs. We snorkeled right off this beach, not a huge amount of fish to see, but we did see trumpet fish, small reef fish and on our last day a manta Ray. Bugs. Didn’t see any bugs in or around the house, but the sand flies (no seemsums) are merciless. I must have hundreds of bites all over my body. Buy the strongest bug spray you can buy and use it all the time. I also suggest the largest tube of cortizone to help with the itching. I ultimately found a combination of cortisone and ice relieved some of the itching. The other caution is if you are traveling with kids, the beach area has a lot of jagged coral. This was not an issue for us. I do suggest beach shoes as it did make walking around Getaway and other spots we visited easier to explore. All in all a great week. As I mentioned earlier, we loved it so much, we didn’t tour the mid to south end of the island. Enjoy!

A great place, beautiful house, private location, beach nice........ and when in the water it was a perfect sand bottom. Getaway is like going to a very nice cottage…….in the Caribbean. I'll certainly recommend it. We tend not to go to the same place twice, but we might make an exception in this case.

March 12th, 2019: An Amazing Vacation!  I don't often take the time to write reviews, but for our Getaway vacation I am making an exception. Getaway/Eleuthera are amazing! As other reviews have indicated, Getaway is even better than the pictures. Both the house and surrounding property are absolutely lovely ... extremely private but not isolated. There are some vacation homes down the road and Current Settlement (with a small store) is only a 5-10 minute walk . Getaway's shoreline is rocky (versus sand beach) but my kids actually preferred it. Lots of caves/ocean holes to explore! There are sandy patches at low tide and a great beach a short swim/walk away. Snorkeling in front of the cottage and down toward the Northside Beach!

The cottage was nicely decorated, airy and very well equipped. The 4 bikes (which we used every day), kayak, beach towels and BBQ came in very handy. We used both the front and back screened-in areas on a daily basis. Tim was great to deal with (by phone and email) and answered our questions honestly, and on a very timely basis. Karen (Getaway's Caretaker) was also amazing ... very helpful, responsive and a super local resource. Would definitely recommend renting a car (4x4) to explore the area and the rest of the island ... although we liked Current the best! Delicious local take-out food at He-Brews in Upper Bogue (10 minute drive). Fresh bread available in Lower Bogue (5 minute drive). Also recommend hitting a pizza night at the Rainbow Inn Restaurant (20 minute drive). We had a fantastic time fishing and snorkeling with Captain Bruno from Underwood Charters out of Spanish Wells - highly recommended. Grocery shopping at the North Eleuthera Shopping Centre exceeded our expectations. They have a nice selection of produce/dairy and meats.

Overall, a great vacation. We were struck by the friendliness/helpfulness of everyone on Eleuthera. On two occasions we had to stop by the side of the road - once for a bike repair, and another to look at a map - and within minutes locals offered assistance. We are already planning our return to Getaway next year!
