"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay af the Beach Club, Bungalow 1. Mr. Rolle, manager, and Virginia, staff, were very professional and courteous and ensured all my needs were met. The road to bungalows however could use some renovation works - a rental car however is still fine for transportation back and forth. I highly recommend the Sky Beach Club and would most definitely stay there again."

"What a very unique property. So very cool to be able to snorkel reefs right from your front yard. Water was a little rough the week we stayed, with poor visibility, but we did see a few tropical fish throughout the week. Jumping off the cliffs was also fun! Romell was very kind and accommodating- he graciously helped my husband and son out of a bind when they got stuck. The Jeep Liberty we rented from him was awesome…my son loved it so much he wants to get one for camping. The house was fine for our needs. I will say it is not quite as new as the pictures made it look, especially the kitchen and bedding, but certainly nothing I would leave a bad rating for, as who can complain about paradise. The views, the colors of the water, and the islanders we met are unforgettable. We have visited 6 of the out islands so far, and Eleuthera is now one of our favorites. We did spend much time up in Spanish Wells, as that is where we rented the boat - from research, fishing and snorkeling from Spanish Wells proved to be the best. A bit of a drive and a ferry each day to get there, but also very worth the effort. We hit many of the beaches both north and south of the rental- there are just too many to visit. Deborah was amazing at communicating, and provided so much information about places to visit and where to get essentials. This is a very special rental that I would have no problem recommending to future guests."

"5/5 - Absolute Paradise on Eleuthera!Our stay at this property was absolutely fabulous and the house is exactly as described in the listing. The house sits directly on the beach, fronting what has to be the most beautiful cove on the entire island. The sand is gorgeous, and the water is perfectly clear and calm. While we spent the vast majority of our time swimming in the ocean, floating and snorkeling, having the pool was a wonderful bonus, and it was incredibly refreshing after a long day in the sun. The paddleboards provided by the host were a massive hit with everyone, and we also loved that there were quite a few floats left behind and available for guests to use. The layout of the property is excellent. There is a huge covered area under the house that offers great shade, and the deck features quite a bit of outdoor seating for relaxing and taking in the views. We cannot recommend this place enough and would love to come back!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We have been coming to Eluethera for many years but have never stayed directly on ocean before and this house had one of the best views. It was so lovely waking up every morning and listening to the breeze and the sounds of the waves and looking out to the ocean. The beach is so private that most days there was nobody on the beach. I probably saw maybe three people on the beach for the 2 1/2 weeks that we were there. The house had all the essentials from plenty of towels to kitchen utensils/appliances. AC worked well throughout the whole house and we were really comfortable. The house had plenty of space and a large kitchen. We will visit this property again soon."
