February 8th, 2023: So well equipped

This place is such a joy and very peaceful and quiet. As a bonus there is a herd of goats that cruise around the place occasionally. I have so many good things to say about this place, the kitchen is perfectly set up with all that you look for being right where you expect it to be, ditto the bedrooms and the the towels are great. The only thing I have to complain about and it's a real buzz kill was the pillows and cushions in all the chairs and the sofa. They are all packed out and offer little padding or comfort. There is so much seating at this place; rockers, swinging benches, papasan chairs and more but all of them are flat and limp. And while the upstairs mattress was marginally better the master was dreadful unless you like a really soft mattress that you sink into. But this house is so fabulous otherwise you forget about it until you want to sleep or sit and read. Also, and I know it's always changing but the lead photo shows a lovely beach that is not there right now but what was there was paddleboard and kayak with paddles, lawn chairs and a pretty beach a short drive away that was shady right up to the water. Great place and would recommend it to friends 🙂

January 20th, 2023:  I highly recommend Getaway for anyone looking for a secluded, private Getaway in paradise. The property is exactly as Tim describes in the listing. It was incredibly clean and well kept. We were looking for a peaceful spot on the water to celebrate our 25th anniversary and that's exactly what we got! The pocket beach was perfect when the tide was low and the snorkeling was incredible when the tide was high. We saw stingrays, sea urchins and many tropical fish. We rented a car and were able to drive to see many attractions and adventure on the island and coming home to Getaway's perfect sunset was the perfect way to end each day. We took a charter boat trip and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking our catch. The electricity on the island was out for a while, but we weren't affected at all. Pedro was great and kept the generator running without a hitch. I can't wait to come back!

October 29th, 2022: Our second time in Getaway and it won’t be our last. Everything- from the location, spectacular sunsets, amenities, thoughtful touches of the host and a million more reasons, it’s absolutely perfect and one of our favorite places.

July 19th, 2022: Beautiful secluded spot
House was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. The water there was beautiful...saw a lot of colorful fish along the rocks. The host was very accommodating and responsive. The house has room for families but is perfect for a honeymoon or a couple's getaway. Loved it!!

April 12th, 2022: Your kids will thank you for coming to the getaway… if they are anything like mine. We are an outdoor family, and have visited Eleuthera previously and will definitely return to this spot. We spent days snorkeling right at the house and saw a ray, hermit crabs, starfish and more. Also my kids caught lizards all day when we needed a break from the sun. It’s true that the bugs will get you, but maybe next time we will bring citronella candles and enjoy the screened in porches even more. We had plenty of space for our kids upstairs and us in the main bedroom, and cooked most of our meals at the house. The WiFi is great, which made test taking to get home easy. We played lots of checkers and enjoyed that the house had games and books. Timothy & the caretakers are wonderful at responding to any needs or issues. Thank you for allowing us to have such a memorable trip!

March 9th, 2022:  Amazing House
Getaway house exceeded our expectations. The house is very well-built and maintained to a high standard. The location is perfectly away from everything and the “pocket beach” was a dream. While we were not there to watch TV, I will say it was very nice to have actual cable tv with all the networks as opposed to just smart TVs like most rentals do these days (the tv at getaway is also a smart TV with Netflix and a few other streaming apps). Tim is very easy to communicate with and his property manager does a great job behind the scenes. We can’t wait to come back!

The property has everything one would want: Privacy, ocean access, a/c, a great library, and peace. We found the people of N Eleuthera to be incredibly kind and helpful. The owner’s list of contacts was reliable for local airline and car rental. It was our first visit to the Bahamas and plan to return soon.

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.

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.

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!
