June 26th, 2021: This lovely house is exactly as pictured/described. It is truly secluded, which was what we were looking for, and has a gorgeous oceanfront - you step right from the rocky stairs onto soft sandy bottom in crystal clear waters. There are several pocket beaches, both in front of the house and walking to the Southwest - I had thought these might be private beaches of other homeowners, but the whole area is secluded it is easy to feel that you have it all to yourself. Though shallow, there is fun snorkeling in both directions (you have to walk a little way to the southwest - to the northwest it is right out your door). We saw plenty of fish, corals, a couple of rays, some octopus, etc...The screened porches are a godsend as we got a fair bit of rain during our visit, and the no-see-ums can be truly vicious (my only "complaint." Apparently they don't bother everyone, but they ate me alive so be prepared). Current is a sleepy little town with friendly people. The house itself is tastefully decorated with great AC - we also used the bikes that come with the house for some local exploring. Lots of geckos, hermit crabs and - a bonus for this western girl - fireflies! Tim and Pedro were responsive and easy to work with. We had a great time at the Getaway!

May 8th, 2021: We stayed at the getaway for a week in May. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and Karen was responsive to any questions during our trip. The place is really private - you could go your whole time there without seeing anyone. We traveled to several in Eleuthera during our week here and at each one, though beautiful, we agreed that we preferred our spot in Current! I would recommend renting a sturdy car - the approach to the house is extremely bumpy and rocky. I’d highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a beautiful, private, quiet vacation.

March 28th, 2021: A note from Paradise Sitting here on the ocean-side porch watching the fading full moon at sunrise. What a picture! Of course I took a few, and the sunset last night too! We are loving Getaway. You’ve done an amazing job of making the house comfortable and probably the most user-friendly rental we’ve ever had. Thanks for your efforts in this regard...wish we could stay here longer and would love to come back when we can.

March 5th, 2021: “Tim's place is the only place to stay on the island. Amazing fishing and exploring are literally right out the back door. The kitchen is wonderfully appointed with everything you might need, the landscaping was a delight, and communication was excellent. The amenities were insane and having a private beach and perfect sunset spot mere steps from the house was a luxury we didn't know we needed. Truly, there is no better place to stay. We are already planning a trip back!”
“Tim, we had the most magical time and cannot thank you enough! Your place was fantastic, the amenities were amazing and so thoughtful, and we are already planning our next trip back. Thank you for making our year!”

March 12, 2020: (On Arrival) Just a quick message to let you know that we have arrived at your most awesome abode and it’s even more awesome than I remember! We are so pleased that you allowed us to rent here and I can’t think of another house on Eleuthera that is more perfect than yours. And, I say that as a 20 year Eleuthera homeowner! Let me know where would be the best place for me to review your 5 star property.
(On Departure) Thanks again for your great hospitality and use of your wonderful vacation home. You should really think of changing the name to Perfect Getaway because your property and abode exceeded my expectations thoroughly. I personally loved all the attention to detail such as the choice of decorations and your creative labeling system. The house is just designed so well. It feels so much bigger than it probably is because of how well thought out all of the rooms are. Having front and back enclosed porches is just such a clever use of space and provides great options of where to spend time depending on the outdoor conditions. The view of the ocean from almost every room was really unique, too. I loved exploring the cave system and was able to find an easy access to the one to the right of the property as you are coming in. I ventured towards the one on the other side, but didn’t really have the right gear to explore so will have to save that for another trip. As an Eleuthera homeowner myself I know how difficult it is to consistently provide a great experience for my renters, but you’ve really outdone the rest of us!! Super in every way!!! J. and I hope to return the next time we take a vacation from our own property in Ten Bay.

March 16th, 2020: Absolutely magical! This place was perfect for our trip. We were looking for solitude and avoiding crowded places. Eleuthera and the Getaway was the right choice to fulfill our needs. The beach was fantastic and the water was calm and relaxing. We spent some time on outings, but most of our time was spent at the property. We saw so many tropical fish, dolphins, and a sea turtle while snorkeling along the coast. My children enjoyed the shallow and calm water along the beach. We kayaked the coast in both directions and found so much to explore. The cave on the property added to our explorations. The host and the caretakers were wonderful, great communicators, and very accommodating. I can't wait to go back to this place. I hope to stay longer next time.

February 22, 2020: Very clean & private!!! We loved our stay in Current. The house was very clean and felt cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a couple meals in the evenings. We mostly stayed on the back porch or down by the water when we were there. Make sure to take bug spray! The bugs get vicious in the evenings! We had a large stingray swim by right in front of the property! We jumped in the kayak and went along with it for a little while. It’s very private!! We didn’t see another person unless we left to go into town. The only downside was the mattress downstairs and the pillows. They could be replaced, but that won’t stop us from staying there again in the future.

March 3rd, 2020: Our return visit was just as wonderful as our first time! Getaway is a beautiful home and property, fully stocked with many little things we didn't know that we would want. At the end of a road, it is also wonderfully peaceful and quiet.

January 15th, 2020: Wow, what a great time we had. First let me thank thank Tim for being so kind as to work my ever changing date of arrival. The joy of flying Non-Rev. my wife and I escaped once again to this magical island without our children for some well deserved alone time. From North Eleuthera airport We took a cab and first stopped at the liquor store then headed to the grocery store for some basic essentials ($ 40 cab) We Then met Karen in Current for assistance to the house. She gave us the lay of the land and was a delight. If we ever had a question she was always reachable. The house had everything that we could need for our time in Eleuthera. We enjoyed the location for the first two days without leaving. We rode the bikes into current and grabbed some snacks and lobster from Karen’s small store. Played in the crystal clear water, explored the coast line with the kayak. Enjoyed peaceful sunsets with the occasional boat passing by. Never even saw a soul on the beach. If you are in need of some valuable time away from the crowds and overpriced drinks this is it. Eleuthera is a hidden gem and we always look forward to our visits. I would definitely come back Thanks for a fabulous time We already miss it
