Touch of Class Villa: A Beachfront Home on the Warm Calm Caribbean

We loved our stay at Touch of Class. The location was beautiful. Perfect set up for my husband and I and our 3 daughters (20, 18, 16 years old). Very close to some of the most beautiful beaches! The home was clean upon arrival. Natasha quickly responded to phone calls (when my girls locked themselves out of the lower area). We had everything we needed to enjoy our family vacation. Loved it!

We visited Touch of Class in March, being from Montreal this was a nice break from the winter!The house is exactly as advertized and the location is in a quiet little bay right on the water with very easy access to the water.A few minutes to Governor's Habour to the north or Tarpum Bay & Rock Sound to the south.One of the 2 kayaks at the property was missing, we contacted the owners and they immediately responded with a plan to remediate the situation.We will return!

Just wrapped up an amazing 7-night stay at A Touch of Class, and it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! Every moment felt like a dream…relaxing, refreshing, and just what was needed. If you’re looking for the perfect getaway, this is it! Already planning our next visit back.

The snorkeling is the best we found on the island—we saw lots of fish every day, and a few times we saw more exciting things, like nurse sharks, sea turtles, and rays. The villa has a huge trunk full of snorkeling gear and an outdoor shower, and you can kayak out to the tiny island at the entrance to the bay and see even more fish. And the best part: there are only 4 houses on the bay, so we mostly had it all to ourselves. The house is beautiful: the living room and beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are very nice. The kitchen is tiny but well-equipped. The house is at the end of a very long, very bumpy dirt road, and this part of the island doesn’t have many tourist-y things to do other than explore the many beaches (you can get your wave fix on the Atlantic coast just a few miles away, and those beaches are equally deserted.) Cathedral Cave was a fun stop not too far away, and most tourist things are at the north end. The hosts were very helpful and responsive; when someone hit a power line in Governor’s Harbour, we lost power for about 11 hours; Natasha emailed us a photo of the accident and let us know what to expect. We explored the island and enjoyed the bay until power was restored. Finally, the bugs are no joke. People say to stay indoors at dusk; I would add to that to make sure you’re covered in insect repellant if you’re going to be outside in the shade at all.

Easy check in process. We enjoyed the incredible views every day. The central location made for easy access of the best beaches Eleuthera has to offer. Would definitely recommend

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 4 adults and 2 children just returned from a lovely stay at TOC. What a beautiful property and location. The views are everything. Every morning, I would wake up and say it's a beautiful day on Eleuthera because it was. We could have sat on the decks looking at that turquoise water all day long. The sunsets are stunning (but the no-see-ums are bad at that time - we didn't find a bug spray that worked for us) In the mornings you can watch the needlefish and the occasional ray. In the evenings we saw dolphins and a turtle in the distance.The house is great and has everything you need to be comfortable. Plenty of towels, beach towels, a full set of spices, games, snorkeling gear, floaties, tons of comfortable outdoor seating, extra sun screen, a washer and dryer (no beach umbrella). The property is showing some wear and tear (screens in particular) but nothing major. Natasha was responsive and helpful always.As stated in the other reviews, the kitchen is very tight, but it does truly have everything you might need. Unfortunately, the stairs to the water were out of commission, hopefully they will be fixed soon. I took a kayak out to the little island, it was an easy and beautiful paddle that I highly recommend.The bedrooms are spacious and lovely with nice bathrooms. The downstairs has the bathroom between the two bedrooms, good for a family of 4 to share. The downstairs shower has water views through one-way glass.Important note: there is another house immediately next door, about 10 feet away that is not shown in the listing. We were lucky in that the people staying there were quiet and respectful, but it was a real surprise to us to find an occupied house right there. Darker curtains that can be closed as needed might be good to prevent the people next door seeing into the bedrooms on that side of the house.Amazing place, we would stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed TOC for many reasons, we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The location of the house was easy to get to and had amenities close by. The house was what we thought it would be as per description and pictures. Beds were very comfortable and with lots of storage for our clothes. The house came with a few extras, chairs for the beach, floaties of all sizes, snorkel gear and fins, the kayaks were our favorite. Lots of seating on the upper and lower deck. We enjoyed daily visits from a few stingrays, saw a shark, starfish and other fish. However, they were not kidding the bugs were the worst part. With a lot of bug spray, we faired not too badly. Also the kitchen is tight but we made do. We enjoyed some restaurants 3J's was great BBQ, Buccaneer's and Delish were our favorites. Ten Bay and Twin Bay were our favorite beaches. Natasha was kind and very helpful when we had concerns and or questions. We would return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was in a great location right on the calm Caribbean Ocean. Island is about 100 miles long. One main road with rough side roads. Road to the house is very rough, similar to many beaches you may visit. Def. rent an SUV if your going to explore. We actually rented our vehicle from the caretaker of Touch of Class. Met us at the airport when we arrived. Dropped SUV off when we left.We had great food while on the Island. The Buccaneer Club (2x) was our favorite. 3 J's BBQ was also very good. One good tip to share is dont sleep on the gas stations as good sources for groceries. Snorkeling was below average compared to other islands we have visited. From the back deck you can see Barracuda and a ton of Needle fish. Saw them when we snorkeled too. Don't leave food out in the house overnight.
