“A special piece of Heaven on Earth!” This was our second year staying at the spectacular Heron Hill! My husband and I spent our honeymoon last year at Heron Hill and we returned this year. The house is very spacious with every amenity that you can possibly need. You have the best of both worlds with the Ocean only steps away as well as a beautiful pool! The grounds of the house are filled with beautiful flowers and palm trees. The home owners, the Murrays, are a pleasure to work with. The caretakers of the house are always available if anything is needed, but also respect your privacy. You are truly made to feel that you are home in your special corner of paradise.

“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.

“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 bliss from the usual vacation - highly recommended.” My wife and I recently visited Eleuthera for 10 days, along with another couple who were having a private destination wedding while we were there (beautiful wedding destination). The four of us stayed at Parlay at Sunset, and needless to say - loved it! We did a lot of research before the trip and as advertised this place takes you off of the beaten tourist path and delves you right into uber-relaxtion and self-rejuvination. The water, the beach, the relaxed atmosphere and the abundant privacy (seriously, we were the only ones on the beach for miles) make this place unique. We are quite well traveled, usually visiting cities and tourist sites so this place was a much needed breath of fresh air. Booking the place was a breeze. The owners are professional and truly want to make sure you have a good time. Read the information packet they send out and follow it - you will have a better trip. Logistically it was easy to get to with a flight from Nassau (NaS) to Rock Sound airport (RSD) where we were picked up via car by the lovely Ken Culmer and driven to the beach house (about a 15 minute drive). Ken, the manager of the house is great - any questions just give him a call. Once you are there, take use the car to easily get around if you so wish. Parlay at Sunset was pretty well situated in the mid-section of the island which made it a good starting point for day trips / exploration. The beach house was in really good shape and the air conditioning worked like a charm (which is not always the case in Caribbean countries). Everything we needed was available and I can't say there were any legitimate complaints - just a calm and cool Caribbean beach house with all first world amenities (yes, by first world amenities I mean a blender for making margaritas and pina coladas :) For the price, there is nothing comparable. Skip the expensive, over-hyped tourist traps of Nassau and set your sails for Parlay at Sunset. It was a blast!
