“Spectacular, Serene Sunrises - Fantastic House” We had a wonderful time at Water's Edge. The house was beautifully appointed and situated in one of the best spots in Nassau, directly on the ocean and overlooking the sea and other islands. A special moment every day is sunrise, as you can look out with a cup of coffee on the patio as the glowing sun seems to rise out of the ocean into the sky. The house has all the comforts of home with a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of games, and comfortable beds. The owner, Mark, is extremely helpful and always on hand for any help you need. Best vacation ever!

“Week in paradise” First time to the island and the vacation was great especially with the accommodations at the Pink Sand Cottage. Perfect for the two of us and loved the views from inside and outside the house of nothing but beach and water. I'm not sure how it is other times of the year but almost every day we were the only ones on the beach. Maybe just timing but it felt as though we were the only ones on the island at times and having the peace and quiet was much needed. Thanks to Ken and adele for a great week and hope to be back soon!

“A true get-a-way!” From the moment we landed, to the moment we left, George took care of every detail! If you are looking for a true get-a-way - this is the place. A busy day at the beach might include seeing 1 or 2 other people, otherwise you have every beach to your self! There is plenty to enjoy on the beach in from of Wymmsicalwish or take a drive, there are secluded beaches down every dirt road, each with their own unique personality. This was our second (of many more to come)visit to Whymmsical Wish. We have stayed there with our grown children and it has been throughly enjoyed by all.The guest house comfortably slept all 6 adults and we enjoyed breakfast every morning in the screened it porch. The fully equiped kitchen allowed us to make lunches and snacks to enjoy at the beach. We all were greatful for the wireless access to make sure that things were running well back at the office!

“A beautiful house to stay in” During my stay here,I was very comfortable,it felt like a home away from home as it had all the amenities and was fully furnished. It was a nice quiet place to stay,very peaceful. We all had good Internet connection and found the house to be clean and tidy to a high standard. Overall a 10/10 it made my trip that much nicer coming back after a day out to a beautiful house. I will be recommending this to any friends or family wanting to stay in Nassau.

“Peaceful, quiet vacation villa, with great access for snorkeling” When we first arrived at the villa, we were a little disappointed. There were issues with the plumbing, the clothes dryer didn't work, one AC unit squealed intermittently, and there were no paper towels as advertised. HOWEVER, after contacting Cathy, she did what she could to resolve most issues, sending out a plumber and a dryer repairman. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and made follow up calls to make sure everything was OK. The villa is nice, but could use some updating (i.e., some patio chairs were broken, bathrooms could be updated). Also, the housekeeper could be more attentive, especially outside where an ashtray was left overflowing and dirty plastic drink cups were left. The pool liner was dirty, and it was suggested to the owner that an automatic pool vac might help with this. If these issues were addressed, I would raise my rating to excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the back terrace, in spite of the above issues. The kids enjoyed coming back at the end of the day and snorkeling out back more than anywhere else. They found queen conch, starfish, crabs, stingrays, and a variety of shells and fish. This became our favorite place to hang out in the evening. You will need to rent a car if you stay here. We rented a van through Avis, which worked out great. Driving here can be a little crazy, but you will quickly adjust unless you happen to be a nervous driver. There is a Super Value food store near the villa, but we found food to be so expensive there that we ate out most of the time (I researched inexpensive restaurants on Trip Advisor prior to our trip--very helpful!). We also ordered pizza from Marco's, delivered to the villa. It was very good and no more expensive than in the U.S. For excursions, I recommend Flying Cloud sail & snorkel to Rose Island, and a trip to Blue Lagoon to swim with the Dolphins (expensive, but worth it!). Paradise Ocean Sports has a good package deal, but ONLY if there aren't many passengers as they promise more than they can deliver in the time allotted. Check out all the beaches if you have time as each has something different to offer. I realize none of this is related to the villa, but hopefully the information will be helpful to some of you. We will likely never return to New Providence as we prefer to explore a variety of islands. However, if we should change our minds, we would stay at this villa again.

“Lovely vacation home!” My husband and I just had the most romantic, secluded, perfectly relaxing vacation while renting the Palmetto Sunrise Villa in Eleuthera this May 2013. The location was great for visiting Governor's Harbor, and a short 10-15 minute drive to several great places to eat (we ate out often at Tippy's and The Beachhouse). The homeowners have been friendly and helpful in every way possible to assist with our planning of activities, from flights into the island to exploring the beaches. We were most impressed with the large notebook made for guests and used the information in it every day. The book has detailed directions for finding one's way to the special beaches of Eleuthera (photos of landmarks along the way included), and up-to-date notes on who to talk to for scheduling tours, and recent details on local restaurants. The Palmetto Sunrise Villa is luxuriously furnished, completely well-equipped and decorated in a lovely manner with many tropical paintings and sea-motif arrangements of shells and sea fan. Everything was top notch and meticulously maintained. It is readily evident that the homeowners care deeply about keeping their villa in top condition and it is heartwarming that they are so open to sharing this beautiful island and its many special attractions with guests who are fortunate enough to choose to rent the Palmetto Sunrise for a vacation. One of our favorite activities was viewing the incredibly starry night skies. We also enjoyed daily walks both on the roads and along the beaches in both directions from the house. The breeze off the atlantic was always cool and refreshing. We walked to the nearest restaurant, at the Unique Resort and enjoyed having drinks there. They have a beautiful beach and great views from the restaurant. The best thing about our stay in Eleuthera was the harmony with nature, warm climate, friendly people, clear water and escape from crowded civilization to a much more leisurely pace.
