Beachfront holiday rental in Tarpum Bay

We had a lovely stay at Sonshore Cottage! The house was clean, had a beautiful esthetic, extra beach towels were in the closet for our use, a soft cooler and plenty of ice packs were available for our beach outings, and more! Sarah was also a very responsive host providing us with a lot of local recommendations and help if we had any questions. We will definitely stay at Sonshore Cottage again when we return to Eleuthera!

The place is more than beautiful. The property is located on a beachfront lot. The beach itself is really serene, we’ve seen only 3 people on it over the 4 days we’be passed there…. And it was Christmas… The villa is spacious for our party of two and could ideally accomodate a family. You’ll have every accessories you need to spend 2-3 weeks vacation there. We wish we’d book for longer but decided to visit a couple of Bahamian islands on our 10 day visit. There are lots of good restaurants nearby but a car is really a must if you want to reabh them easily. We liked afternoon munches at Potlatch Club, dinners at Bougainvillea and, of course, relax snacks at Tippy’s. Barbara is a great host and did everything she could to accomodate our (belated by the airline company) arrival and departure. Her manager, Winifred, is also really pleasant to deal with and efficent. I definetly would go again and recommend the place.

This place is absolutely stunning. The owner is incredibly friendly, the rooms are spotless and well-equipped, and the beach is right in front of the apartments. There are also beautiful cabanas overlooking the ocean, which made for the perfect spot to relax and watch the sunrise. What we loved most, though, was how peaceful and remote the location is - there are very few tourists in the area. We often walked along the beach for an hour without seeing another person.

Paradise! Everything you ever imagined. House was perfect and the beach was amazing. We hardly saw anyone. There are two restaurants 5 minutes away Local grocery store and shopping 15 minutes away in Governor’s Harbor. Definitely take advantage of some excursions to really appreciate everything the island offers. We can’t wait to plan our next visit👍

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Gena’s beach cottage on the beach! It was ideal for our small family—cozy, well-equipped, and exactly as described and pictured. The location is unbeatable. We practically had the entire beach to ourselves, and the view was simply stunning. One of the highlights for our son was finding over 80 sand dollars right out front—pure magic. Communication with Gena was seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend and would return!

This was our first trip to Eleuthera. We wanted to explore central and south Eleuthera with a house away from crowds. Exploring and connecting with the location we travel to is always a priority to us. The Round House was perfect. We only ate out twice, using the kitchen (except oven) to prepare our meals. In the evenings we relaxed inside with all the windows open listening to the Atlantic and always comfortable with the breeze. The beautiful landscape around the house makes it so easy to fall completely into the island experience. We had a fantastic 7 night vacay. Taja and Doon helped make that happen. We enjoyed visiting with locals on the island. The absolute nicest people!

Our family of 4 had an amazing stay at Rainbow Charm. Our 2 teenagers loved the pool, jumping off the rocks, the hammocks. We have been to Eleuthera 5 times and this is our fav rental when bringing the kids ! The location is great for both north and south beaches/restaurants. We felt safe ( as usual in Eleuthera ) and Chris really knows what guests want at a vacation rental. We didn’t need to reach out to David the caretaker but we did meet him at Mel’s Snack Shack and he’s lovely! We are rebooking the home for our fall trip!

We loved our time at this cozy villa in Eleuthera! It's a bit old. Tucked away in nature, it's perfect for a peaceful family getaway. Highly recommend for nature and beach lovers!

This place is truly heaven on earth can not say enough good things about this place we can't wait to come back and stay again.. Absolutely perfect in every way

pictures don't do it justice. Sand was white and powdery, felt like flour. Beautiful beach. Nobody on it, ever. 4 miles of nothing which I loved. Snorkeling was average in the bay. House had snorkels and masks, paddle board and kayak, which we never took out. Locals will drop off whatever you need and do any tours you want. House is 1:45mins from the north where you have to ferry to an island to swim with the pigs, so we skipped that. I'm certain there is good snorkeling elsewhere on the island. We went south to Jacks Bay and got a tour of the Nicholas championship golf course and tiger woods course. Windemeyer was good, gated community. Food there is very average but the pickleball courts were great and everyone everywhere is so friendly. House had 5 bedrooms, 5 bath. The 5th bedroom was really small, fit 1 comfortably, but we didn't need it. A few restaurants are closed. Clothes washer didn't work (didn't spin the clothes). Overall, Awesome. Get fresh fish delivered

This was our 5th stay in Eleuthera. This home and the setting were on the top of the list for us. The home is perfectly laid out and had every amenity you could possibly need. The pool was perfectly positioned for full day sun and protected from windy days with lovely landscaping. We have stayed on double bay beach before, and we were excited to get back. The option to have shade and a hammock was amazing. The location made it easy to visit some of our favorite other beaches and restaurants. Thank you for a perfect week in Eleuthera. We will definitely be back!

It's hard to describe Paradise, but if I had to picture what it would be like it would be Cayo Loco! The beach and the water were the prettiest I have ever seen (and I have lived in Hawaii). You can walk for miles and not see anyone. To me there is nothing better than sleeping with the windows open and having the sound of the ocean waves lull you to sleep. Plenty of great things to do and wonderful places to eat. Our host would give us updates everyday with suggestions which was so helpful! They went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. Other than the amazing beaches, the most memorable experiences we had were with the people of Eleuthera. The culture there is to be welcoming, kind and considerate to everyone. They truly love and respect their island and want you to feel at home there. We can't wait to return and hope to stay longer this time.

Home/compound were beautiful. House was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable and the decor was clean was uncluttered. The island has little mosquitos which were quite bothersome. Need bug spray for sure! Eleuthera is like an untouched paradise. Barely any road signs or addresses which makes navigating the island an adventure but slightly frustrating if trying to go somewhere specific. This is an island for someone who enjoys going off the beaten path. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

the Beach House is something special. Lots of room and beautifully appointed. French Leave Beach is pristine. If we met someone on the beach it was unusual. A special feature for a naturalist guest was all the lizards and the Cuban Tree Frogs. On our last night, a night Heron came to visit the pool, a very special treat. we had a wonderful time. Close to everything.

My family and I had a wonderful amazing stay at your home. Every day was a beautiful adventure, walking around the island and exploring the beaches and snorkeling. It was serene, rustic, and a breath of fresh air from our busy lives. Glad we brought food as the grocery stores were something to get used to, but it was an adventure, and everybody was so nice. We will for sure come back.

Beautiful spot right next to the sea. We felt very private. There are water shoes that can be used and are helpful to get into the water, as it is all rocks. Josette always replyed very fast to my questions, thankmyou so much for that! We really enjoed this gem.

We really enjoyed our stay at Baha Mara. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The house itself is spacious and light-filled, well appointed and equipped, with lovely art and nice touches throughout. Comfortable beds and living room space, great kitchen for cooking, large porch for sitting out. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the day beds at water's edge, as well as exploring the tide line and in the water on the SUPs and with snorkels. This was our first visit to Eleuthera, and we found Baha Mara to be perfectly located to venture out to various villages, beaches, restaurants and grocery options not too far from the house. We discovered on our first day that the closest eastside beach, Islandia, is closed to the public pending a sale of the surrounding 466+ acres (!), so we explored a handful of the myriad sandy stretches up and down the coast. We only wished that we had more days to spend and that we had booked a day out on the boat with John/Big Mac Fishing. Next time!

Amazing stay, peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Alexander is a fantastic host always willing to help and make the stay even better.

We loved our stay at Seashell villa. It’s the most beautiful setting, perfect for sunset. Thank you both 😊

We had a wonderful time at Betty’s ❤️ Beautiful beaches easily accessible, great patio, inspiring views - just what we were looking for:) Would absolutely stay again & highly recommend for long or short stays.

We had an absolutely perfect stay here for our anniversary. We felt immediately at home. We miss it so much already. Quiet, private and peaceful little spot in the jungle a short walk to the beach. The instructions they sent were so thorough and helpful. Had a wonderful time exploring the island and having such stunning beaches we visited completely to ourselves most of the time. We rented a vehicle from Chris as suggested in the guide the hosts Mary & Todd sent and he was great.

A HOME AWAY FROM HOME. The host Ms. Barbara is very helpful, communicative, and accommodating. The photos doesn’t give this cottage any justice! It’s super huge, clean, and well equipped with everything you may need during your stay. There is an amazing private beach steps away from the back porch. I would most definitely stay at this cottage if I was to visit southern Eleuthera again.

Donna was a great host. She is super friendly, professional and responsive. This property is great to experience living like a local. I will return soon

We had a wonderful stay at "Island Time"! The area is absolutely stunning and the house was everything that we expected. Any issues we had were seen to immediately. We always felt well cared for, and that all of our needs were met. Mellissa's emails were so warm and friendly. It is so obvious that she loves this home and Eleuthera, and we can absolutely see why. Shawne really went above and beyond to help us while we were on the island. You have our extreme gratitude and we are hoping that Eleuthera will one day be home , too!
