Beachfront vacation rentals in James Cistern Beach

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!

Shes very sweet and nice, a great deal and good location, and shes very well connected.

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.

The listing for Anna's place was very accurate. We booked at the last minute and were glad to find this listing. Anna was extremely responsive with just the information that we needed. Hassle free.

This is a rural island. Think castaway with WiFi/hot shower/kitchen amenities. No night life we could find but that’s ok. Just know you’re going for the solitude and ability to swim in a beautiful calm ocean and, one more thing: June’s house may look like a restaurant, but that’s their private home. She gives you access to all the toys underneath the home, though. I kayaked around the little island and that was fun.

Loved this stay ! Beautiful scenic beach ! Amazing recommendations to some of the most beautiful snorkel beaches I’ve been to in the Bahamas! 🇧🇸

Lovely location right on the water. Rainbow Bay beach is about a mile away and south is Coco De Mama a beautiful beach. Met some wonderful people, highly recommend Tippy's restaurant and Rainbow Bay Inn for breakfast, Stephanie and her husband were wonderful. There is a large grocery store just north of North Eleuthera airport, recommend if flying in there to hit the grocery store before heading south.

Can’t believe I just stumbled upon this Airbnb. Loved it!! Will definitely be back again. My son and I felt right at home.

We had a wonderful time at the property – so secluded and close to the most beautiful beach – the dock was wonderful to just sit out and watch the sun set and the turtles swim by. The home was clean, and the pool was nice – this was just what the doctor ordered. Violet and Charles are very nice and always accommodating – great team.

Great stay with our kids here. Best part was the amazing snorkeling- right off the beach at the bottom of the stairs. The reef here made things calm and the fish we saw were amazing. Very private and quiet. Kids also loved the beach with waves about .5 mi down the road by Pascals restaurant. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Road to get there is rough but we loved the seclusion and adventure.

My mom and I spent four days at Golden Chalice. We loved drinking coffee on the back deck every morning and being able to walk the beach multiple times a day. Property is just as pictured. We hope to return!

This place was everything we could have hoped! It was just as described in the descriptions and pictures. A perfect vacation!!

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.

I could not have asked for a better place to stay in!! This was perfect for our little family with our 10 month old baby. The view was spectacular and it was so convenient walking down to the beach everyday with our girl! The kayaks supplied were so fun! My husband and I took turns while we watched the baby on the shore. Such a great location too! Felt super safe! Next to great restaurants (Tippy’s and La Bounganvillea). Hewitt the property manager on site was so sweet. And dealing with Pam was amazing. Her communication was impeccable and she was so patient with us and All our questions. The house itself was beautiful and so comfortable. Book it! You won’t find a better place or property management team!!!!

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.

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!

This little house was absolutely perfect…the beach is literally steps from the back door. We had every imaginable thing we needed or didn’t know we needed. Extremely well stocked, like you’re staying with friends. Our family of 5 did just fine with one bathroom , excellent use of space.

Blue Moon was an absolutely amazing right on the Beach at Gaulding Cay Beach. There are no other rentals directly on the beach here. The water was amazing crystal clear just a few steps through the coconut tree. (Not many bugs) We used the SUP and double kayak one afternoon. And everyday we snorkeled the rock everyday. Hanging out listening to the water and coconut trees in a hammock was extremely relaxing. The house has loads of books and a great collection of art. Daddy Joes was just a short walk down the road. Gregory town is just a 4 minute ride in the car. We are looking forward to our next stay. I am dreaming about that beach and hammock!!

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.

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.

This home was centrally located for exploring all Eleuthera has to offer. The home had all the basics we needed. The view from the porch was beautiful. We loaded our car up each morning with the coolers provided and snorkel gear and explored the many beaches Eleuthera has to offer, it was an amazing experience. The host was always easy to get ahold of and responsive. Gaulding Cay and Receivers beach old boat dock were the best snorkeling we found. Lots of fish! Lighthouse beach point was well worth the long drive and hike. Jumping in the Sapphire Blue hole was also a highlight- as long as you have upper body strength to pull yourself back out. Keep in mind most grocery stores close early or aren't open on Sundays. All the locals were so friendly and helpful. It was an amazing adventure! Thank you!!

Casablanca was a beautiful home and we had an amazing time! We have been to Eleuthera many times but this is the first time staying in Current and it didn’t disappoint. The home had everything we needed and the caretaker Agatha was so kind and helpful. We had a few minor issues (it’s Eleuthera and it happens), the owner and Agatha were so quick to respond and Emerson also helped out as well and we couldn’t be more grateful! We were 10 minutes from North Eleuthera airport, Preachers Cave, Sapphire Blue Hole and Genes Bay dock, which takes you to Spanish Wells as well as the dock to take you to Harbour Island all within 10 to 15 minutes. Grocery stores, nearby and glass window bridge within about 15 minutes as well. Highly recommend this beautiful home.

Howard was great with communication and setting up our golf cart rental and transportation from the airport. Donna met us at the docks, she showed us to the house and gave us a tour. The house was beautiful and the view is exceptional. It was a great location and had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely be planning a trip back.
