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

February 5th, 2020: Don't Doubt It, Just Getaway! Getaway is an incredible property through-and-through. My wife and I visited in early February, and Karen/Pedro/Tim could not have made our visit any more enjoyable or easier. We arrived to ELH, picked up our rental, stopped by Burchies (recommend picking up groceries, Getaway has a great kitchen and grill!), and then headed to Getaway. Karen met us in Current, showed us to the house, gave us a quick tour, and then we quickly settled in and flipped our switches to vacation mode. The property is incredible. You can take your time exploring the jungle, the caves, the beach, the tidepools, and the water. Tons of local flora, creatures, and everything that Eleuthera has to offer. As for the house itself, it is perfect! The massive front and back porches are a dream, and the open common area in the house is great. Tim has taken the time to label (in what had to have been a painstaking process) so, so much in the home. It is incredibly helpful! As for the location, it is easily one of the most secluded places that I have ever visited. With that being said, it is still no more than a 20-30 minute drive to many of the sights of Northern Eleuthera. In 4 full days, we were able to visit Spanish Wells, Ben Bay Beach, Gaulding Cay, Whale Point Beach, Twin Sisters Beach, the Glass Window Bridge, Sapphire Blue Hole, Tay Bay Beach, and the local beaches in Current. Like the title says, just Getaway!

December 20th, 2019: Wonderful, Beautiful, Peaceful Retreat away from the Usual!
Getaway is a unique chance to still experience the local hospitality, friendliness, and daily life of North Eleuthera. Along with an additional rent-able cottage, it offers an opportunity for larger groups to stay in this area. Tim, our Host, is a helpful, knowledgeable and great person to assist with planning your time on Eleuthera. He supplies a comprehensive packet of written information and willingly connected us to any other services we wanted. Getaway is well appointed for all basic things needed and on-site assistance from, Pedro or Karen is possible. A car is necessary for the convenience of coming and going to grocery shop and visit the high points of the island. Daily walks along the beach or in the area or bicycle trips if preferred, visits to the local fishermen or the local (meaning the town of Current) store can get many of the daily supplies needed if you wish to minimize the use of a car. The beach in front of Getaway (only 50' away) has lost the large sand spread, but is wonderfully enjoyable with sand entrance to the water and rock ledge for beach chairs, campfires and gathering to watch the sunsets or just to 'hang-out' by the water. The beach area in front of Getaway offers easy, interesting snorkeling and an opportunity for an easy kayak trip in either direction from the property. On a windy day, it is an easy walk/bike ride to the opposite side of the island to have a more protected swim/walk or whatever - you can easily have the best choice each day you are there!! Sound like a wonderful place - it is!

May 9th, 2019: Caribbean Gem! The owner was professional and pleasant. The caretaker of property was professional knowledgeable about the Island. The home is a beautiful Caribbean secluded gem that sat on a large coral cave. If you’re looking for privacy you got it. I suggest a rental car even thou there is 4 mountain bikes if you’re into sightseeing & restaurants, the whole island is about a 3 hour drive with pit stops but well worth it. And bring water shoes. There is a huge grocery store in the Bluff about 20 min from home. And if you have any questions just ask the locals they are so friendly & lovely.

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!)
