Beachfront vacation rentals in Tarpum Bay

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.

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.

Many thanks Barbara for your home. We had an exceptional stay. everything is perfect in this rental: - The absolutely incredible location - The different and equally beautiful outdoor spaces with a view of the beautiful Ten Bay beach! - Charming owners - charming caretakers In short, we only dream of coming back Many thanks

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!

This was our first time on the island and this was the perfect retreat for our family. The space is luxuriously appointed and feels like home with board games, TV, fully stocked kitchen (spices, coffee, cooking essentials). The neighborhood is quiet and about a 5 minute drive to the beach and about a 8 minute drive to Governor’s Harbor where there’s some food and gift shops. We would certainly stay here again in the future.

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!

We had an amazing stay at this beachfront property! The location is unbeatable, with stunning ocean views and just steps away from the sand. The house itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying morning coffee was pure bliss. An unforgettable beach getaway!

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.

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.

Clean, centrally located and helpful hostess. We would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Rock Sound Eleuthera. This was not our first trip to the island, but was the first time we stayed in Rock Sound. Ordinarily we stay further North but we wanted to explore Southern Eleuthera and the Cape. The home shares a parking lot with a restaurant we’ve enjoyed in the past, which we were looking forward to eating at again, but unfortunately it’s no longer in business. However, the grocery store is within walking distance and there are a couple of good restaurants and shops a little south of the home. The home itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The bedrooms were nearly identical so there was no fighting over who got the better room. With the exception of pantry items, and food storage, the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They even provided beach chairs which we used every day! The best thing about the house was the sunsets. We enjoyed watching the sun set every evening on the wraparound deck. We would stay here again!

Amazing place to stay in Eleuthera. Absolutely stunning panoramic views of the ocean, and great living space with everything you need. Very well equipped kitchen which is appreciated as we cooked most of our meals, and a gas stove that came in handy as we could still use during an island-wide power outage (there was only one during our stay). Local caretaker (Derrick) was a phenomenal help, even helping my husband and I track down some local fish and lobster to cook. Would definitely stay here again!

From front-porch sitting and strolling around the village of Tarpum Bay for the 90-year-old grandparents to exploring and scuba diving for the parents and grandchildren, this place was perfect.The location, right on the shore but in a shaded place, was idyllic. You can swim right off the shore if you wear reef shoes to get over the coral. For the maintenance issues, Samuel Dorcent, the caretaker and go-to man, was very quick and responsive. On the morning our rental car would not start, he had his friend, the auto mechanic, there in ten minutes with a big battery charger to get us going. Samuel was also just an interesting person to get to know. He was always reachable on his cell phone. The only negative review we could find complained of bugs and the lack of air-conditioning. We found that the fans were more than adequate to keep us comfortable. Picardin and deet work fine against the bugs. This place is not the Disney Resort and that’s what we liked best. We’ll be back next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Kathy's place. It is so beautiful, well appointed and comfortable. Kathy and Wallace were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed waking up to the gorgeous ocean view and saw lots of interesting sea life while snorkeling in the beach just down the road. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The outdoor shower was great and the beach supplies were very appreciated. We'd love to return!

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

My family and I had such an amazing time on Eleuthera! The beachfront home was beautiful as we swam and walked on the private beach with no one in it. The pink sands and turquoise water was unforgettable. The locals were very welcoming. The island itself was very virgen and untouched making it very unique to us. Charles was very pleasant and very helpful with our stay. We will definitely visit again and make this our destination.

I can’t say enough about Bella Mer. Our family enjoyed everything and really appreciated the location and the setup of this property. We have stayed all over the world and this is one of the finest places we have ever stayed. Everything is stocked great with cooking and cleaning gear. The generator was flawless and so nice. The beds were so comfortable and the setting was perfect for what we were looking for in this vacation. Mid-Way Cost cutters was only about 5-10 minutes down the road and has a great selection for your grocery needs.

Comfortable stay. Convenient location. Highly recommend.
