April 7th, 2024: We had a blast. Great place you have there. A bit of a shame that the new neighbors are so close. We only saw them one day.

March 21st, 2024: This is a lovely, comfortable and extremely well-equipped home in a secluded piece of paradise. Whole days went by when we saw barely another soul either by the house or at the nearby beaches. It IS a hike from restaurants and stores, but once you’ve gathered provisions, it’s a terrific place for a quiet vacation in beautiful surroundings.

We had a fantastic stay at Gateway. The place is extraordinarily beautiful and wonderfully secluded. It was a perfect home base to explore the north side of the island, or spend the whole day relaxing, swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding right out front - and then settle in for the postcard sunsets. We really loved Gateway and Eleuthera. I hope to be back!

January 30th, 2024: Restful wonderful waterfront retreat
If you like listening to waves, “Getaway” is perfect and its pocket beach is wonderful, and the sunset view is gorgeous. The kitchen is very well stocked with what’s necessary to cook meals, including condiments, spices, and herbs. Also there are movie DVDs, board games, and books. An SUV with a high ride height is recommended for navigating the dirt road. The settlement of Current is remote, which means this really is a peaceful “Getaway”. Driving a short distance farther along the main road takes you to that end of the island where there used to be activity. Park and take a pleasant isolated hike along the shore on a dirt-and-rock road around to the Cut and beyond the bend. It’s also a quick drive to the ferries to Spanish Wells or Harbour Island, which are pleasant day trips. Other than that, it’s a bit of a trek to Governor’s Harbour. We didn’t go farther south than that.

Thank you so much for the stay at Getaway. Your home is beautiful and it shows how much care was put into its construction and its continued upkeep. It certainly sold us on how lovely Current is as a place to be when coming to Eleuthera. As an admirer of gardening and landscape, you've done a fantastic job with maintaining the native species of the site and incorporating others that highlight the geography of the landscape. (the caves are fascinating!) It was wonderful exploring what was around the house. Thank you -

January 21st, 2024: Gorgeous Getaway
Our stay at Getaway was fantastic. The photos don't do this beautiful property justice. A classic modern kitchen, open living area, and bedrooms all lead out onto expansive verandas surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds. We were fortunate that we got see blooming orchids, natural landscapes, and local wildlife. The home was fantastically clean and organized. Its come-and-go beach is private and offers sunset views, snorkeling, swimming, and sun bathing. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you needed to cook at home. Soft, comfy towels and sheets are provided. Current is a quiet and peaceful setting. During our stay some of the screens were out for replacement, which made being on the front porch a bit more challenging when there was no breeze and the bugs were out. The downstairs bed is soft, but the upstairs was firm and more to our liking. The road in to the property is a typical road in Eleuthera. Plan for rough surfaces, and going slow at tricky spots. We loved our time at Getaway and thank our host for the use of his beautiful, meticulously constructed home and the local caretakers for their time and care.

January 14th, 2024: Beautiful house surrounded by nature
Fabulous well-equipped home - everything is there! Bike rides into Current and Current Cut in the mornings then swimming and sunning in the afternoons. Etched rock steps leading into the sea. Fishing boats and sailboats mooring off shore. We enjoyed both the open and screened porches. 10 stars!!!!

January 7th, 2024: We had an incredible stay at this beautiful villa on the sea! The kitchen was fully equipped with all the utensils and spices we needed. The veranda offered stunning sea views, and the owners even provided a helpful local guide. Being able to use their kayak and bikes was a fantastic bonus. The location was very private, and we would absolutely love to come back. Our favourite place so far in the Bahamas!

Hi Tim, Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful place! The pictures on Airbnb don't accurately portray the charm of your villa. It was a delightful surprise to discover that the place was much more beautiful than expected.

May 1st, 2023: This was our 2nd time staying at Getaway and it was exactly how we remembered it! It’s the last house on the street and very private (although a house is being built next door now). You definitely need to rent a car! It has everything you could possibly need. We used the paddle board, kayak and we rode bikes around town almost every day. We were able to get a couple coconuts out of the yard and use for smoothies. The beach is nonexistent when the tide is in , but we didn’t mind since that’s the best time to snorkel the area. We also had a couple snakes stay around the path to the water, so just watch your step. They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Timothy is a great host and we would definitely rent with him again!

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!

May 4th, 2024: We loved this great house overlooking a slice of heaven in Eleuthera. Beautiful grounds and gardening and a delightful set of small coves on the perfect ocean, we spent 6-8 hours a day bobbing up and down, and paddle boarding. Would have been privacy Nirvana except the family next door happened to also be spending the week. In any case there's no one and nothing for a mile east of the house, just forest and rocky shore full of aquatic wildlife. It was hard to leave.

April 6th, 2019: Perfect house!  The house is so lovely and comfortable. Tastefully decorated. Thoughtful little touches like labelling the switches, and detailed instructions for everything you may need. Stunning, clear, mostly calm water. If north Eleuthera is where you want to be, this is the house to rent! (But rent a car with good suspension!)
