Avis Affordable, Huge, Ocean front Villa with Spectacular Sunsets

My family of 6 (including 3 children and 3 adults) had an amazing visit to Eleuthera at Sunset Villa hosted by Robert and Susanne. The home was open and bright, with wonderful airy breezes thanks to the screened-in doorways. The highlight was the screened-in patio where we ate our meals beside the ocean each day. Susanne and Robert were in the adjoining guest house, yet we still had space and privacy. The house had everything we needed (including snorkel equipment and various outdoor toys for the children). The house is right by the water, which made exploring the tide pools a great activity during low tide. Sandy beaches are a short drive away so we had the best of both worlds. The communication was great, we were able to ask questions and got many great recommendations from them about places to visit/eat with our kids. If ever in doubt about anything house-related or the area, they provided an extensive guidebook for us to refer to.

Loved the spacious home with high ceilings and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Check in easy and hosts were always helpful. You can hear the waves at night when using the screen doors. Never needed ac when we were there. Comfy beds and furniture. Kitchen had everything we needed including a rice cooker. Also had a small propane stove to heat water for coffee when power went out- usually less than an hour when it did. Screen porch was great for eating. No see ums are frequently out this time of year, so bring bug spray and cortisone cream for bites. Beach is uneven coral so use water shoes. Once tide is out, there is access to sand where we saw starfish and you can carry the kayaks out for a paddle. Location is quiet and still close to Governor’s Harbour. Eleuthera Island Farm -order bread ahead to beat the crowds. Also fresh veggies and other items. Enjoyed Poponi Beach on Atlantic side-use Windy app to find out wind direction. If windy on Caribbean side usually calmer on Atlantic and vice versa. Also loved Rainbow Beach, Ten Bay Beach and dune buggy ride to Lighthouse Beach. La Bougainvilla (eat lunch and you can enjoy their pool) Sea View Restaurant at Unique Village, Bacchus, Buccaneers, Tippys, The Front Porch and smoked chicken or pork at 3 J’s Jerk Pit on Friday- go early before they run out- all great places to eat. So many more we haven’t tried yet. Look forward to returning to Eleuthera next year!

We want to thank Susanne and Robert for extending their beautiful vacation home to us all. We had such an amazing time. Their home is beautiful, spacious, great breezes and came equipped with everything we needed. Including, swimming, snorkeling, canoeing and the most beautiful sunset views. My family had the best time ever and would like to thank you again. The Conrod Family ;)

We had a wonderful holiday spending a week at Sunset Villa. 5 adults, so the bedroom set up was perfect. The owners made the check in effortless and were staying in the attached guest area, so they offered information on things to do on the island as we bumped into them during the week. They left us to our own and never felt like we were staying in the same house. The location has a wonderful coral beach where we saw many fish, starfish and multiple octopus. Eleuthera is not for the ‘resort’ crowd. It’s remote and unspoiled. And jt is definitely on island time- exactly what we were looking for in a holiday getaway.

My family stayed here for 5 nights and we had a great time. The water is not very far at all, but it is coral so you need shoes to go exploring. We enjoyed walking along the “coral beach” at low tide and checking out the various tidal pools. The gardens around the house are beautiful and support wildlife so we were able to see lots of birds and geckos. There is a screened in porch, which was a lovely spot to hang out. The bugs are serious here! Midges galore! The screened in porch didn’t seem to do much for them (and they were already in the house when we arrived) but it did protect against mosquitoes. It’s the islands, so expect some bugs and pack accordingly. There were lots of thoughtful details around the house, plenty of towels and sheets, beach chairs, and a well appointed kitchen. We mostly stayed at Ten Bay Beach, which was about a 10 minute drive. This beach is perfect for little ones, and since we were travelling with a 9 month old this was our spot. There are plenty of beautiful beaches on the island to explore though! We had a tough time getting take out in Palmetto Point (which is where you are), so I suggest Governors Harbor for getting prepared food and fresh fish to cook. Island Farms is close to the property and they have fresh bread a couple days a week, ample veggies, water, and beer too, we frequently stopped here. Overall we had a really nice time at Sunset Villa!
