All aspect of the house were excellent. The grounds were beautiful, large, and lended to a sense of privacy. The beach was world class and we saw few others. The location offers easy access to the best restaurants and other beaches on both the Atlantic and Caribbean. Missy is a delightful person and very responsive to questions about the house and island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gorgeous, homey, a wonderful throwback of the old Eleuthera style of elegance and nature. So much tropical "wilderness" we felt far removed from the Banks Road bustle....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second visit to Poponi House, the first being prior to covid. What a difference two years can make! While we loved the location, the house itself had deteriorated over the time. It's just tired looking on the inside. Worn rugs and kind of funky smelling. We spent most of our time at Ten Bays beach, on the caribbean side. Much calmer and less wind. Makes ocean front a negative for Poponi. I will return to Eleuthera, but I'll stay elsewhere on the island.
