March 9th, 2022: Amazing House
Ellet B.
Getaway house exceeded our expectations. The house is very well-built and maintained to a high standard. The location is perfectly away from everything and the “pocket beach” was a dream. While we were not there to watch TV, I will say it was very nice to have actual cable tv with all the networks as opposed to just smart TVs like most rentals do these days (the tv at getaway is also a smart TV with Netflix and a few other streaming apps). Tim is very easy to communicate with and his property manager does a great job behind the scenes. We can’t wait to come back!

The property has everything one would want: Privacy, ocean access, a/c, a great library, and peace. We found the people of N Eleuthera to be incredibly kind and helpful. The owner’s list of contacts was reliable for local airline and car rental. It was our first visit to the Bahamas and plan to return soon.

This house had so many amenities, privacy, and a great view/access to a little piece of the Caribbean beach. Highly recommend this stay.

November 15th, 2021: Wow- the pictures don’t do this house justice. What an incredible slice of your own private paradise! We didn’t meet Tim in person but Karen showed us in, very quick responses and easy communication from both. Tim helped us to organize a car rental which I’d highly recommend for getting around the island and exploring. We were really grateful for the fully equipped kitchen as it’s a little drive to a restaurant. Loved the 2 person kayak Couldn’t recommend this place more highly, we’ll certainly be back for another trip soon!!

October 9th, 2021: The Getaway is a fantastic place to stay. It is very remote and has a beautiful waterfront setting. It is the best Air BnB we have ever stayed at.
"Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful place. It was fantastic. Karen and Pedro do a great job for you.”

July 23rd, 2021: We had a blast! This property is perfect for family fun and had everything we needed. The beach was perfect for relaxing and lots of ocean life to see while snorkeling. My son chased lizards around and enjoyed playing with the hermit crabs. We even caught and cooked up a very tasteful crab from the beach. When we arrived we were surprised to see the very tiny airport. Our cell phones did not work there and no one had any island maps. Be prepared to spend some money on groceries as they are VERY expensive and not much selection. Most of the places to eat out at all had the same food items and most do not have any atmosphere much less a place to sit down and eat. The only place we found that was decent was out by the glass window. Be prepared to drop $150 per meal for a family of 4 if you plan on eating out and expect chicken and hamburgers. We were a little disappointed that there wasn’t better island like restaurants. El Karaka Bar & Grill was fabulous and the view of the glass window and ocean is breathtaking. If you’re looking for more of a tourist area you will need to travel to Spanish Wells or Harbor Island.

July 10th, 2021: What an adorable house! Everything was clean, well appointed and easy to access. We loved sitting in a sandy spot on the rocks to watch the sunsets! We've been to Eleuthera 16 times, with this trip being our third summer trip. The bugs were crazy most likely because of a lot of the undergrowth that was around the house. However, with a little bug spray and long sleeves, all was well. Thank you Tim, Pedro and Karen for a fabulous stay!

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!

May 8th, 2021: We stayed at the getaway for a week in May. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and Karen was responsive to any questions during our trip. The place is really private - you could go your whole time there without seeing anyone. We traveled to several in Eleuthera during our week here and at each one, though beautiful, we agreed that we preferred our spot in Current! I would recommend renting a sturdy car - the approach to the house is extremely bumpy and rocky. I’d highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a beautiful, private, quiet vacation.
