I have absolutely no complaints from our hosts. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The caretaker was quick to fix any issues we had, and the view and private beach are unparalleled. However, Eleuthera is incredibly remote. Food was hard to find, the roads are terrible, the people are a little stand offish, and the climb down to the beach is a hike. Be prepared for an adventure if you visit this place because it is not a tourist trap like the rest of the Bahamas.

We had a wonderful stay in Eleuthera! My family booked the Villa and the cottage for our trip. The views and beaches on the Island are unbelievable!!!! I never knew such beauty existed to be honest! We enjoyed having the beach mostly to ourselves. Maybe saw 5 other people on a given day. It was nice to have the privacy and not have to fight any crowds! Especially for a prime time summer beach vacation. Todd and his wife were wonderful hosts! Super helpful, and give you so much important information/tips!! The houses were great and accommodated us well!

The property was perfectly secluded with short drives to beautiful beaches and other attractions. The house was perfect for our family, comfortable, attractive, and an amazing view from a deck that was percect for a cup of morning coffee.

My family and I spent a month at Eleuthera Villa and when friends ask what it was like all I can say is if your life truly flashes before your eyes before you die, this island, the people on it, and the view from atop the deck will be a part of that vision. I would spend multiple times a day just walking up to see the sunrise, sunset, listen to music, or watch our boy's playing in the pool below. If you're looking for a good church while visiting, try Liberty Baptist in James Cistern (JC) which is an unbelievably inviting small church on the island we went to each Sunday. Say hello to Pastor Kirk and tell him Curt sent you. God bless and hope you have as much fun as we did!

The location on the ridge overlooking the Atlantic provided amazing views and great breezes. The house is very nice and well furnished. The beds were very comfortable. The beach is awesome but not well suited for swimming or snorkeling due to the heavy wave action. Was fun to watch surfers taking advantage of those waves though. Great beach to walk and look for shells. The road is rough but quite manageable. No troubles even after a heavy rain. Water pressure and temperature variation in shower was the only drawback. Very nice having the resident cat, Thurston. Enjoyed the location for all of the nearby beaches and snorkeling. Overall great place and highly recommended. The owners were very accommodating with information prior to our arrival and assisted with getting us hooked up with Chris from C2 Car Rentals for our SUV. Thanks for a great vacation!

Eleuthera is for those who want to create their own adventure! We loved our trip and will definitely be back to Eleuthera Villa. The location in Gregory Town is just a short drive to many fun things. Finding the Villa is a little tricky. The “road” it’s on doesn’t feel much like a road (that’s typical!) It’s a rock and dirt path that has lots of holes and if it rained recently, it holds water in the low spots. Make sure you get a vehicle that can handle it like a jeep or other SUV. Never would have found it without the directions from the owner. Everything should be in a document sent by the owner. Mine had been sent months earlier when I booked and I didn’t realize it. The beach below is WONDERFUL. There are rock/coral paths off of the platform which take you right there. Definitely wear good shoes. We didn’t find any snorkels or other beach items for use which would be a nice add. Beach shoes would be helpful as it is rocky in places. Walk around the point to the right to Surfers Beach. Cute little beach shacks there to “respect” :) Also there is a cat that is very sure she lives outside the front door. She’s very persistent! We have her a water dish but no food. She’s very sweet. The Villa has everything you need. It’s really such a warm and inviting space. Beds incredibly comfortable. Just the right firmness. Super soft linens. Love the white duvets in the two Queen rooms. Nice pillows too. The AC in the bedrooms works great. The one in the main room was touch and go for us. The villa has a nice selection of DVDs and a few games which was a huge bonus! Yoga mats would be a nice add. The view from the platform is amazing. Things not to miss on the island: - The conch salad down by the harbor in Gregory Town. David’s is the best we have had by far!! - Sapphire hole, queens baths and Tay Bay beach. Perfect adventure day!! - Ferry to Spanish wells. Eat lunch at the Shipyard. Their conch poppers are ALL conch and no filler and incredible. Also their coconut pineapple frozen drink isn’t called a piña colada but it’s one of the best I have ever had. Then Walk down to the beach side. Gorgeous. - We had a fabulous day with Bahama Ocean Safaris. James Dunnam is THE guy to spend the day on the water with. Swings in the middle of no where, spear fishing for grouper, diving for conch and lobster. We came back with enough to eat for two dinners! This was a wonderful vacation and we will for sure be back!

Family of 7 with 5 kids age range 18 to 8. We couldn't have booked a better house on the entire island. If you are looking for a clean, spacious home with top notch ocean/beach view this is your place. It is nicely secluded but can be tricky to find everything you need if you prefer food shopping to make meals in for a larger group but it was well worth the trips to the assorted grocery shops nearby. We could usually find everything we needed and actually enjoyed having to compromise and come up with different ideas to make it work. Prices were double US food so be aware (I believe this is listed as well as a heads up so don't be surprised) We swam, tanned, snorkeled, walked, and explored the beach every day. Morning coffee was phenomenal on the deck and afternoon cocktails in shaded patio was another daily favorite for us all. My expectations were surpassed on how wonderful this trip was. Thank you Todd & Mary for sharing your paradise!

If you are looking to get away from it all, with views of paradise, in a remote setting, this is your haven. The views from the deck are unparalleled with a short walk to the beach. Enjoy a day with Captain Rick of Spanish Wells Fishing to explore the majestic sea and end the perfect day at the Front Porch (reservations required). You will leave more relaxed then when you arrived!

Me and my family spent the last week here and it was a top-notch experience from start to finish. We actually missed our flight from Miami the first day but Todd was very accommodating and understanding. The views were breathtaking and we felt like we were in secluded paradise the entire time. Definitely would return again.

We had a wonderful stay at Eleuthera Villa the last week of February, 2022! The location was exactly what we were looking for: An almost Zen-like experience created by jaw-dropping views of the Atlantic Ocean and coastline; Beautiful weather in the high 70’s with cooling breezes; Total privacy in a very comfortable home; An island experience made special by the friendliness of everyone we met. We are experienced VRBO guests and this was a top-flight vacation that we hope to repeat in the near future. Mary Morgan and Todd were excellent hosts. They are the new owners of this villa and went out of their way to ensure our vacation went smoothly. We initially reserved with the previous owners and complement MM and Todd for creating a seamless transition with our reservation. By the way, Eleuthera Villa had an extensive history of excellent reviews (4.7+ average) which cemented our attraction to the property. There is a saying on the island, “Eleuthera - not for everyone”, and we see the truth in it. We did our research so we knew what to expect. This is not Las Vegas, Nassau, or some elegant resort where one’s every whim is taken care of. This is peace, tranquility, beautiful nature, friendly people mixed with just the right amount of comforts without being artificial. The house and the setting are better than any photographs can capture. Walking onto the elevated deck each morning was breathtaking. We spent hours with morning coffee and evening cocktails staring at the ocean, watching the waves crash against the rocks, the tides come and go, and the water color change with the angle of the sun. The deck is also the most scenic place we’ve had the pleasure to do our morning exercise — bring your yoga mats! Here are a few of the island experiences that we happily recommend: Caribbean side beaches for swimming and snorkeling — Gaulding Bay, Rainbow Bay and Twin Sisters beach were especially beautiful and nearly deserted; Enjoyable food at Daddy Jo’s, Rainbow Inn, Cravings Bakery, Tippy’s and for the special evening we are still raving about The Front Porch; A half-day visit to Harbour Island with lunch at the Dunmore Hotel; A 2-3 hour walk through the Leon Levy Nature Preserve was beautiful and gave us a wonderful understanding of the island’s natural history. All in all we had a fantastic first trip to Eleuthera and found Mary Morgan and Todd’s villa the perfect spot for our adventure!

It is a nice place. The view was great. It does get a little windy on the deck

Our family loved our trip to Eleuthera. Eleuthera Villa was a great home base. After visiting several settlements on the island, we are glad we chose Gergory Town as our place to stay. The home is beautiful, and the walk-up deck is the best part. My husband and I had coffee and cocktails out there every day. Simply unforgettable views. It does get windy so sometimes is not comfortable on the deck. My only comments on the home are that for our family, the beach path was not ideal. It really is more of a climb (on a cliff for some parts) and was too tough for our 7-year-old. That said, the beach there is ideal if you are surfing. For swimming we preferred to drive to the Caribbean side (the Gaulding Cay beach is 15 minutes down the road and perfect for kids). But that's what Eleuthera is about -- checking out the amazing beaches! So as a home base, this home was great. The listing clearly describes this path to the beach, so I have no issues with it. The beds could have been slightly more comfortable, but I may be picky. We really appreciated the restaurant recommendations from the hosts and could not have been happier with our time there. Do research before you book and understand Eleuthera and you won't be surprised. As the hosts say -- there is no fast food, the roads are rough, and groceries are not what you may be used to. But it is a very special place. We had the beach to ourselves almost every day. Unfortgettable! And the lack of wifi is not a big deal. We had cell phone access from the deck. Thanks so much for an amazing stay!
