July 23rd, 2021:  We had a blast! This property is perfect for family fun and had everything we needed. The beach was perfect for relaxing and lots of ocean life to see while snorkeling. My son chased lizards around and enjoyed playing with the hermit crabs. We even caught and cooked up a very tasteful crab from the beach. When we arrived we were surprised to see the very tiny airport. Our cell phones did not work there and no one had any island maps. Be prepared to spend some money on groceries as they are VERY expensive and not much selection. Most of the places to eat out at all had the same food items and most do not have any atmosphere much less a place to sit down and eat. The only place we found that was decent was out by the glass window. Be prepared to drop $150 per meal for a family of 4 if you plan on eating out and expect chicken and hamburgers. We were a little disappointed that there wasn’t better island like restaurants. El Karaka Bar & Grill was fabulous and the view of the glass window and ocean is breathtaking. If you’re looking for more of a tourist area you will need to travel to Spanish Wells or Harbor Island.

July 10th, 2021:  What an adorable house! Everything was clean, well appointed and easy to access. We loved sitting in a sandy spot on the rocks to watch the sunsets! We've been to Eleuthera 16 times, with this trip being our third summer trip. The bugs were crazy most likely because of a lot of the undergrowth that was around the house. However, with a little bug spray and long sleeves, all was well. Thank you Tim, Pedro and Karen for a fabulous stay!

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.
