We had an absolutely WONDERFUL time and, now that we're home again, all Erika and I can talk about is "how can we get back there again next year." We loved the little quiet (basically private!) beach front, the long walks along the beach, the gentle warm water.
The first few days there we toured part of the island (Ben's Beach, Preacher's Cave, Harbour Island, Gregory Town and Governor's Harbour) but the last couple of days we decided to just sit back and enjoy Getaway. There was no need to go anywhere else!
The unit itself seems to have everything one could ever want. The beautifully paneled vaulted ceilings and inner and outer French double doors gave the unit a wonderfully spacious feeling. The decorations are indeed very tasteful. In the kitchen one had EVERYTHING one might need: glasses, plates, Saran wrap, plastic containers for leftovers, utensils, spices and even baking needs. All the towels and sheets, the binoculars, books about Eleuthera and the Bahamas, movies/DVDs, ... everything was great.
Thank you again!

We had a wonderful time at Getaway in Eleuthera. The house was better than what we expected and we really appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with so many gadgets, etc. We would definitely be interested in a return visit sometime. The island was wonderful. Thank you!

The house is very nice and open (loved the high ceiling!). We loved the large screened porches, especially the one facing the ocean. The beach in front of the house is so beautiful and calm, and it's totally private. The little path to the beach was pretty, with beautiful trees and plants. We enjoyed kayaking (thank you very much for getting the extra ones!) and snorkeling (there is a good spot off to further right). Having full-time A/C was very nice, too. The kitchen is equipped sufficiently, and it's nice to have 3 different tables (front porch, inside and ocean side porch) to choose from to eat your meals. I recommend this place to people who want a very quiet, private and relaxing time by a beautiful ocean.

We had a great time at GetAway---really nice house and maintained very well—spotlessly clean and well equipped throughout. We appreciate the help and the nice vacation.

It is a privilege to express our appreciation of using the lovely house and spot you have on the tip of the North-West of Eleuthera. Our first stay in the Getaway in the winter of 2005/6, coming from Canada was an experience we did not forget. Apart from the climate, the location at that particular spot at the end of the road gave us all the rest, solitude and yet, within 15 min. walk we were in Current among friendly people and could obtain the necessities, without having to drive anywhere. Also, if the waves of the Atlantic were higher, the Bight of Eleuthera side was like a mirror. An ideal place to rest, read books, enjoy the sun and sea - on either side of the house in the large screened porches. No wonder we came back! This time with friends to whom we shared our excitement about Eleuthera and your lovely house which just suited our needs. This time with a vehicle and we found it ideal to make excursions to the rest of the island.

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.

I can testify about how great it is there. I'm glad this beautiful space is offered as a Getaway.

We had a great time in Eleuthera. Getaway was wonderful. It is really hard to tell from pictures, so we were pleasantly surprised about the architectural beauty of the house and the cleanliness.
The island was nice. We explored down as far as Governor’s Harbor, and Harbor Island. There is a great new restaurant in Gregory Town called the Laughing Lizard. We sat at a table next to Lenny Kravitz, who lives across the street. That was fun.

We loved the place, pure and simple. Exactly what we were looking for. We will return for a longer stay and refer others.
