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: Â 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!

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!

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.
