Tarpum Bay, Eleuthera
Not just a vacation rental, but a beautifully designed home. You’ll love my place because it is 50 feet from the sea with great snorkelling and shelling. My place is good for couples, friends travelling in a group and families (with kids). We custom built this home in 2015. It's a great spot to stay put or as a base to explore the island. Most guests say they are happy just staying right in the house or on our beach.
We have amazing biodiversity right in front of the house and it is common to see spotted eagle rays, dolphin, turtles, juvenille sharks, nurse sharks, mutton snapper, grouper, dolphins, stone crab and more.
Close to Rock Sound airport (15 mins) and Governors Harbour (30 mins). 5 minutes from the quaint town of Tarpum Bay. There is a great local bar/restaurant a few minutes away as well as grocery stores and conch salad stands.
Enjoyed hospitality. Clean and comfortable. Great hosts
This is a beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed house in a stunning location. Kitchen is extremely well-stocked and there are games and books available for entertainment. The view is incredible and the beach feels private, although there are a couple of houses to one side of the home. The water in front of the house was crystal clear and great for paddle boarding and kayaking. It’s very shallow. The owner was easy to work with and very helpful in solving a little situation we had. Would highly recommend.
This house is absolutely beautiful! Everything was nice and clean. In fact, I told John the house looks better than the photos! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone! The host Joanna and John were both welcoming and very friendly! I am so glad we decided to book this house. We will definitely be back!
Second year in a row for us to stay at Baha Mara. Eleuthera is an amazing island and never disappoints. Some days we just stayed at the house swimming or paddle boarding in the Caribbean. Other days we would venture out to see new beaches.
From the minute you drive down the wooded driveway you are in a special place. the view is absolutely stunning. The house is 110% clean, and it's just so cozy. The house had everything we needed to cook some meals -- although the oven had serious issues while we were there & hope that gets fixed. The house is for the more adventurous family... The water outside is gorgeous. It is a rocky reef situation, and therefore attracts all kinds of fish. On day one, we had already seen a great barracuda and a nurse shark. This was a bit scary at first, but we tried to be more conscious as we were in the water. The SUP and kayaks provided are a fantastic way to enjoy the water, and were so appreciated. This is definitely a 5-star home!! A few things to keep in mind: As many have stated -- THIS IS NOT A SANDY BEACH. there is sand as a yard, but that ends when you approach the water. It is 100% rock for 1/3 of the yard into the water. The casurina trees provide a host of bug life. We are covered with bites even now still itching, and we thought we had prepared for this. I think no matter how careful you are, given the trees and needles, you will be bit, even if the bugs normally don't like you. There is a neighbor right next door. To the right of the house is all wooded, but neighbor is just to the left and is also a rental. It was booked solid while we were there. This is not clear from photos but if you google map north of Tarpum Bay and find it, you see there are 4 houses in a row where this is.... just keep in mind if you are picturing absolute seclusion. I was not, because I had seen the 4 houses on google maps prior. Overall -- we had SUCH a great time. THe location was perfect, we were close to Tarpum Bay to get fish and snorkel in their newly created reefs out of conch shells, and LIghthouse was only about 1.2 hours away, and Gregory Town PIneapple Tour at Eleuthera Farms was only 1 hour. Of course, it's only 10-15 min to Ten Bay, so we had to go there 3 times! If you like island drinks, CocoJo (on Facebk) delivered AMAZING really reasonably priced pre-made cocktails sealed, they were such a hit - (Joannie is a delight at cocojo!). If you want easy water access, and water sports and aren't scared off by some sting rays, barracuda and nurse sharks, then you're in for an adventure at Baha Mara. Thanks Joanne!
You will NOT be disappointed with this property nor will you find another property as well managed and maintained in Tarpum Bay. We visit the island annually and have rented 5 different homes over the last 5 years....as long as this house is available on future trips, we will not consider another rental. Perfect location. Perfect amenities. Perfect accommodations. Perfect management. So glad we found this place.... you won’t be disappointed if you stay here, until you have to leave of course!
We came to get away from the craziness in our lives! We had planned on traveling to different beaches on several days but once we arrived we changed our mind! The house is beautiful and comfortable! The kayaks and paddle boards were a great addition! Definitely bring water shoes but the view and area by the water is fabulous! We will definitely be back!
We stayed for a week and were blown away from the minute we arrived. The house had everything we needed and more. John was always available to answer any questions we had. The view and the property were heaven. We saw sting rays and nurse sharks while paddle boarding and kayaking. We will be back soon. Bring water shoes and explore.
The property was on the bay side of the island and with a prevailing east wind it is calm. We were able to snorkel and explore the shallow reef in front of the property. Water shoes or sandals are recommended. We had beautiful sunsets. The noseeums were not an issue as we had a nice breeze on most days. John was always available by phone for any questions.. The rental car was very reliable and we explored the whole island from top to bottom. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, It was nice having a washer/dryer. My only suggestion is that beach chairs be purchased for the property to take offsite to the many beautiful beaches. We used the cooler on our excursions. Thanks for the memories on beautiful Eleuthera!
This rental is everything you'd want in a home stay, location is spectacular, kitchen is equipped with quality tools, the beach is literally right there, with kayaks and paddle boards waiting. No need to leave, thou day adventures are easy. Easy pace with great wildlife close to a small local Bahamian fishing community. (so not the place to go if you are looking for active nightlife). Property manager available for needs and questions, very responsive. The bedding and linens are natural fibers and plentiful; my personal favorite detail was the art.
