Review 1: What an amazing trip. We don’t want to go home!! Karen and Pedro are amazing and your home is amazing! Thank you for everything! We will be back next year! Definitely the best stay in the 15 years we’ve been coming here! Thank you all!!
Review 2: We loved our stay so much and the house is beautiful! The pictures definitely do not even show how amazing it is! The two massive screened in porches were a wonderful place to sit back and relax. Great snorkeling right next to the house and we saw lots of rays and all kinds of fish. Karen and Pedro were also amazing and we plan to return next year! Thanks to Tim for sharing his beautiful home! We loved every second of our secluded vacation

“Beautiful home in a beautiful location! Steps away from your own private swim in the turquoise ocean, and sunsets were gorgeous from the porch or from the lounge chairs with a sunset view next to the ocean! The home has some great features like screened - in porches and outdoor shower, as well as plenty of space, beautifully decorated. Remote location is accessible by car, but we recommend a four-wheel drive or jeep. Not able to walk to town readily, nor is there anything to walk to (stores, restaurants). Grocery stores nearby are stocked with mostly canned foods and are more like what those coming from the USA would think of as a very small convenience store, not a big grocery store. Also, keep in mind when visiting this island, that emergency medical help is not readily available, so that may be a consideration. Otherwise, Current Settlement is definitely private and not a crowded or touristy location at all. The house itself is lovely! ”

A dream home, spacious, with attention to detail, overlooking the sea. To know that it is a bit far from everything, and that the services offered by the neighboring villages (lunch / dinner, shopping) are a bit modest: for the food, you need to have a certain spirit of adaptation. "Living" here was really nice for us.
Una casa da sogno, ampia, con cura dei dettagli, affacciata sul mare. Da sapere che è un po' lontano da tutto, e che i servizi offerti dai villaggi vicini (pranzo/cena, spesa) sono un po' modesti: per il vitto, occorre avere un certo spirito di adattamento. "Vivere" qui è stato per noi davvero bello

We certainly enjoyed our stay at the house, beautiful and well-organized! We truly appreciated the beach book and got much more from the island than our first visit while anchoring our trip from Current which was just what we wanted this trip…off of the beaten path.
You have a beautiful setting there; some of the most interesting coral we explored (through to central Eleuthera) was just up from the house along the beach rock. Thank you for the use of the kayak and a relaxing stay! We will keep the Getaway on our minds if we return to the island…

We spent a lovely week in May 2018 at Getaway with our 2 young boys.
The place is just as the name implies, private and secluded, somewhere we could unwind.
It’s equipped with all the comforts of home, and some more that we don’t have!
There are 2 covered seating areas, one to the front and one to the rear, with the rear facing towards the sea, meaning evening times, we could enjoy the (amazing) sunsets as we ate.
There is a great bedroom overlooking the main room, which meant we could keep an eye on our eldest, and the master bedroom is huge.
The property has quite a bit of land, meaning the kids could explore the wildlife. We saw lots of lizards, a gigantic crab and even a snake.
Getaway is in the settlement of Current, which is a small community surrounded by beautiful beaches which we eagerly explored. Low tide means lots of sandbars to wade out to as well.
From Getaway we could then explore the island of Eleuthera, which is a great island with lots of places to venture to.

The car rental went also very smoothly.
Thanks again!

PROS:
- Private
- Well decorated, bright, modern & clean.
- Impeccably maintained house. Maintaining homes on Eleuthera is a challenge, we know how much work it takes.
-Kitchen well appointed for cooking.
- Nice views. Sunsets!
- Awesome bikes that are well maintained (a rare find!).
- Bathroom well supplied with soap & tissue.
CONS:
- Would be difficult for anyone mobility impaired due to steps & rocks to get into water. However there is a sand beach a 5 min bike ride away.
- Screen porch mesh is too big, so no see bugs can still get you. However to screen it in more would spoil view. It does keep out all the other sunset biters.
Thanks for sharing your family’s special space!
We relaxed to the max!
