“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! ”

As translated through "Google Translate" service:

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

13June18: ...everything was great. Wonderful house that provided all amenities needed. Plenty of towels which was great. Only thing lacking is a dryer. Washed once and it was hard to get things to dry. Personally I would clean back a bit of the ocean foliage for a bit more view, but not too much as the privacy is great. Thanks again.

20Jun18: This place was amazing! It has total privacy and allowed us to step back and reconnect with each other. The ocean looks like a swimming pool. Bring your snorkel set and enjoy! Pack bug spray with DEET. The non-DEET sprays didn't work for us. Note: You must be willing to cook some meals on this trip. Restaurants are few and far between. Grocery selection is limited and costly... Pack light on clothes. Nothing is dressy. Just wear a pair of flip flops, pack a couple swim suits and that's that

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 one week at Getaway and had a wonderful time. The kayak worked out great and we were able to explore the hidden beaches and do a lot of snorkeling. Pedro (building manager) was very responsive to any of the concerns we had while we stayed there and all issues are resolved very quickly. If you want to be totally secluded... and away from beach vendors and all the hustlers that go with other popular tourist destinations this is the spot for you. Just make sure you stock up enough groceries to get through a week or however long you plan to stay, as restaurants are few and far between. I really have no complaints... other than I wish we had known that at this time of year the tide really never goes out... so the beach that is shown in the pictures does not really exist... but for us it was okay...we just had to be careful walking on the rugged coral... all said...it was perfect and we got a very nice suntan☺”

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.

We had a lovely stay! The house is super and cosy. Exactly what we were looking for during our short holiday. The beach was particularly appreciated by our kids.

The car rental went also very smoothly.

Thanks again!

We loved the house. Reluctant to give a great review because we selfishly want it to be available for our next visit.
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!

The “Getaway”is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the local flavor of the the island. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable, the house clean and it had most anything one would need for a comfortable stay. The water a few steps away was delightful to swim in and explore. If you like off the beaten path and away from the crowds this is your place. Can’t wait to return.

Thank so much for letting us rent your home. It’s a very special place. We would love to visit again.

January 30th, 2024: Restful wonderful waterfront retreat

If you like listening to waves, “Getaway” is perfect and its pocket beach is wonderful, and the sunset view is gorgeous. The kitchen is very well stocked with what’s necessary to cook meals, including condiments, spices, and herbs. Also there are movie DVDs, board games, and books. An SUV with a high ride height is recommended for navigating the dirt road. The settlement of Current is remote, which means this really is a peaceful “Getaway”. Driving a short distance farther along the main road takes you to that end of the island where there used to be activity. Park and take a pleasant isolated hike along the shore on a dirt-and-rock road around to the Cut and beyond the bend. It’s also a quick drive to the ferries to Spanish Wells or Harbour Island, which are pleasant day trips. Other than that, it’s a bit of a trek to Governor’s Harbour. We didn’t go farther south than that.

My wife and I completely enjoyed our time at Getaway (May 2012)!  It is such a wonderful property and house, with very pretty and secluded grounds.  We didn't see another person on the beach the entire time we were there!  There are no houses for about a mile on one side of the house and 100 yards or so on the other side.  We did take day trips to other beaches, but enjoyed the convenience and privacy of the beach right in front of Getaway the most.  The house itself is very nicely done, extremely clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! You can tell that the house and property have been very well cared for.  The property manager was great, and very welcoming.  He also lives close by should there be anything urgent that comes up.  It was an amazing vacation and we would definitely recommend Getaway to others!

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!
