Summary: We loved everything about this beautiful house! Perfect location for us with a private stairway to a pink sand beach. Walk to Tippy's or the Potlatch Club, take out the kayak, snorkel or bask by the heated pool. Great vacation for family of 5, with three teens. Would definitely return!

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautiful, clean, and well kept. The walk to the beach is very short and convenient. The area around the home is quiet and safe. The proximity to governors harbor is close, there are several good restaurants and a pretty well stocked grocery store. The distance from governors harbor airport is about an hour and fifteen minutes, but it’s not a bad drive. The beach is beautiful and very private. The private pool was also great. We had it to ourselves the entire time. Carol is a pleasure and very helpful. I cannot say anything negative about our stay! Thank you having us!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment we arrived we knew the house would be perfect. Beautiful, very clean and plenty of room for eight of us! The pool was always clean and inviting. Everything we could have needed for the beach and pool was available. Beach access was very easy to get to and so close. We used the kayak a few times! Location was the best. Close to the market, liquor store, gift shop, coffee shop, and beaches of course. Our property manager, Carol, was so kind and welcoming. She was quick to help us with any problems! Overall, this was the best family vacation we have been on, and it’s partly due to the wonderful house we called home for the week!!

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I and two friends stayed here for eight days at Gumbo Limbo and everything is as advertised in the description and in the pictures. The house was well stocked with all the kitchen essentials, it also has plenty of beach towels and beach equipment. The location on Banks Road is excellent and it is just a short one to two minute walk to the beach from the house. The pool, with its lush, tropical setting, is very peaceful and quiet. The Eleuthera Vacation Rentals staff is always excellent to deal with (shout out to Carol!) and they will always take care of you. I would not hesitate to book this house for your next vacation!
