March 12th, 2019: An Amazing Vacation!  I don't often take the time to write reviews, but for our Getaway vacation I am making an exception. Getaway/Eleuthera are amazing! As other reviews have indicated, Getaway is even better than the pictures. Both the house and surrounding property are absolutely lovely ... extremely private but not isolated. There are some vacation homes down the road and Current Settlement (with a small store) is only a 5-10 minute walk . Getaway's shoreline is rocky (versus sand beach) but my kids actually preferred it. Lots of caves/ocean holes to explore! There are sandy patches at low tide and a great beach a short swim/walk away. Snorkeling in front of the cottage and down toward the Northside Beach!

The cottage was nicely decorated, airy and very well equipped. The 4 bikes (which we used every day), kayak, beach towels and BBQ came in very handy. We used both the front and back screened-in areas on a daily basis. Tim was great to deal with (by phone and email) and answered our questions honestly, and on a very timely basis. Karen (Getaway's Caretaker) was also amazing ... very helpful, responsive and a super local resource. Would definitely recommend renting a car (4x4) to explore the area and the rest of the island ... although we liked Current the best! Delicious local take-out food at He-Brews in Upper Bogue (10 minute drive). Fresh bread available in Lower Bogue (5 minute drive). Also recommend hitting a pizza night at the Rainbow Inn Restaurant (20 minute drive). We had a fantastic time fishing and snorkeling with Captain Bruno from Underwood Charters out of Spanish Wells - highly recommended. Grocery shopping at the North Eleuthera Shopping Centre exceeded our expectations. They have a nice selection of produce/dairy and meats.

Overall, a great vacation. We were struck by the friendliness/helpfulness of everyone on Eleuthera. On two occasions we had to stop by the side of the road - once for a bike repair, and another to look at a map - and within minutes locals offered assistance. We are already planning our return to Getaway next year!

We appreciated the privacy of the location and its natural areas. It has a nice beach and the water is crystal clear.  We also liked its closeness to the settlement (was only a 15 minute walk).  The car was great and came very handy in our search for conch salad. The people in the Island were helpful and friendly. We made some local friends and hope to get back in the future.

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!
