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.

The house is the perfect spot for anyone looking to get away from everything. It is the last house on the road and we never saw another person while we were there. The little beach beside the house was perfect for relaxing, reading, and looking out at the aqua water. The house itself is perfect for 2-4 people and kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Highly recommend

Your house is AMAZING! We had the most relaxing time, kids loved their little private beach, we took day trips to the local beaches and Gregory town, sand bar beach was as gorgeous as I remembered, kids didn’t want to leave their private bath tub. - we could not have asked for a better break from the city, thank you so much for opening up your home to us!

 

We had everything we needed, the house was perfectly stocked with all we needed and so clean, total heaven.

And now we’re back in freezing NY, but the memories will definitely keep us going for a while.
