Sunshine House
The home and local Rainbow Bay Beach area were great. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful beach and views. The downside was not much choice for food/grocery/restaurants nearby. Most restaurants in the vicinity were closed, closed on Mondays or closed at 5-6pm. Grocery stores were poorly stocked and expensive, and restaurants always ran out of menu items. I cannot stress enough and recommend that you pack a checked bag (or two) of prepackaged food, such as frozen meat, coffee, snacks etc. Even paying $50 to check a bag will save you $$ in the long run. The A/C in main living room froze up on day two and did not cool properly and the tv did not work/no service.

Sunshine House was so much better in person. Spectacular views ! It’s a super quiet area. Great location for morning walks. Extremely clean beach cottage. Big plus having Starlink ! Easy communication with Jennifer and Lisa. The one recommendation would be Tommy Bahama Style Beach Chairs to use. We found a local company to rent some for our stay. We would absolutely stay at the Sunshine House again!!! D&J Brewster

Sunshine of my life!
The Sunshine house was an amazing base camp for our Christmas trip to Eleuthera. The location was the perfect distance from multiple beaches, stores, a handful of restaurants, and the sites. I can’t forget to mention the view, wow. The home itself was the perfect size for our family of five and having two bathrooms, and an outdoor shower, was a game changer. The kitchen allowed us to eat multiple meals at the house. Everything is expensive on the island so this helped our wallets. We used the kayak when the waves weren’t too bad and saw two beautiful sting rays. Jennifer was amazing as well. She was always responsive and answered my endless questions! She helped us find a private chef for Christmas Eve, made a ton of recommendations, and was an all around gracious host.

A delightful stay in this terrific house
Our stay at the Sunshine House could not have been better. This was our second visit to Eleuthera and our second stay at Sunshine House. It is located in a convenient area for exploring the central region of the Island. The house setting is fantastic; its south exposure offers panoramic views of the Caribbean with amazing sunrises and sunsets from the well-appointed deck and waterfront. The house is well-equipped, wonderfully decorated, and spotless, with very comfortable furnishings. The waterside location provides fairly easy access for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking and is a comfy spot for seaside morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. The property description is very accurate. We are dreaming of our memorable time here and will plan on a future stay at the Sunshine House and in this beautiful area of Eleuthera.

Really cute and clean !
The house was so cute, clean and nicely decorated. Nice balcony overlooking the water. The pics on the add pretty accurately depict the water. It is rocky and a little scary to think of entering the water there at first. During low tide when we could actually see the rock formation, we decided we would be ok entering there. If it is super windy and rough, it may be a little iffy. The "man made steps" were a good plan. We snorkeled there some and the ladder was useful getting out. We did encounter several smaller jellyfish. No stings though. Used the gas grill a couple of times. The back burner didn't work, but there were just 2 of us so we easily made it ok. The host was super reliable with communication and prompt. I feel like the price was fair for the stay. I did notice the fire extinguisher was not charged (Im a flight attendant and innately notice these things! I notified her and she said she would check into getting it charged. Not sure if that has happened or not. I would stay here again. The only thing that may make me want to go somewhere else is that I love to walk out of my door and be able to go for a stroll on a sandy beach in the mornings. There are sandy beaches close by, but you would need to take a short drive to get there. Rainbow Bay Beach was the closest and one of our favorites! We did have some issues with the no see ums and/or some sand fleas in the evenings while sitting on the deck. Really enjoyed the place all in all!

Jump into the Ocean & Enjoy the Breeze
Jump into the ocean right from the house and snorkel some coral structures where you can see tropical fish. The location was ideal to explore all sides of the island. Our host was incredibly responsive and her local caretaker, Lisa, helped us out with a few needs during our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful house and location!
We stayed at Sunshine House for the first 5 nights of our 8 night stay in Eleuthera. It was the perfect location for exploring the top half of the island. It was a beautiful and easy drive from Northern Eleuthera Airport. When we arrived at the house it was unlocked and ready for us to move in. Lisa, the caretaker, stopped by shortly after we arrived to check on us & she was so kind. The road is very quiet, so you just park on the side of the road, in front of the house. There is a plenty of outdoor/deck space to spread out and unwind. Pretty plants and trees and a little path that leads down to the water. There are rock stairs and a metal ladder to get down to the water, but we didn't get in b/c the water was pretty choppy the entire time. The constant sound of waves was so nice! The huge wrap around deck has really nice teak furniture, some adirondack chairs and two lounge chairs. Plus little string lights to put on at night. I read books out on the deck every night, and the stars were AMAZING. Two sets of double doors lead out the deck. The kitchen was fully stocked (coffee maker, french press, pots, pans, cutting boards, utensils, pitchers, microwave, dishwasher, ice trays, water dispenser, dish soap, etc). The only thing missing was a larger nonstick frying pan! Large dining room table, wicker living room furniture, shelves with books/bar glasses/maps, etc. Bedrooms were great - cozy beds and linens and ample closet space. The master bedroom is way bigger that it shows in the photos - king bed, dresser, ample closet space, plus a TV area with futon and plenty of board games and movies. Air conditioning worked great (four wall units) plus each room has ceiling fans and extra floor fans. Cozy beach towels were provided as well as extra snorkel gear, wetsuits, boogie boards, float noodles, beach chairs, etc. Washer and dryer underneath the deck. The kids loved running around in the yard. What was great about this house is the location -- very close to so many things. Rainbow Beach is so great (great snorkeling for adults and kids) and just a couple minutes away. Also close to Queen's Baths, The Cliffs, the Glass Window Bridge, great beaches (Secret Beach, Surfers Beach), Hatchet Bay, James Cistern, etc. Easy day trip to Spanish Wells from this location. We felt very safe at this house and Jennifer always got back to me right away when I emailed her beforehand. We would stay at this place again in a heartbeat. Perfect for a family of 4 or more.

The house was great. It had everything we needed and the views are spectacular. We had a last minute snafu with my husband's passport, so it unexpectedly turned into a girls trip. The owner went above and beyond to check in on us and make sure we had everything we needed. The island is absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be back.

A Magical Place
My wife and I just returned from a five night stay at Sunshine Cottage, a perfect beach house, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We especially loved the deck where we spent mornings watching the sunrise and evenings gazing at the stars. A couple of questions came up during our stay. Jennifer was always responsive by text as was Lisa, her local contact. We enjoyed dinner a couple of nights at the Rainbow Inn but saved the last night’s dinner for the Front Porch in Hatchet Bay which was a real treat. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation in a magical place.
