Many thanks to Ellett for sharing his beautiful home with us. We were supposed to visit in May 2020 but COVID changed our plans. Ellett was great to work with, providing a refund back then, which made us want to rebook his beautiful home. We are so glad we did.
This home is extremely private! We didn't see another human anywhere near the home all week. Other than a bit of a rough road to get in it was perfect (but that's part of the charm, and all roads on Eleuthera are rough).
The home had everything we needed for a "do it yourself" vacation. We ate in virtually every meal, except great pizza from Rainbow Inn one day and lunch at Tippy's when we went to French Leave Beach. Great wi-fi to keep in touch with the outside world if you choose to. Cecil, who takes care of the house, was also great to work with on the one minor issue we experienced and was there in less than 10 minutes. If we had realized they had such great snorkeling gear we would have left ours own at home. Excellent beach chairs as well.
If we could do it over we wouldn't do late July, but we wanted to rebook once the restrictions were relaxed. It was very hot and humid, lots of insects, and the prevailing winds made the water pretty rough each day. We weren't able to use the diving platform like we would have liked, although one evening finally calmed and we saw several turtles just to the left.
Our favorite parts were the privacy, the very dark skies for viewing stars (saw the Milky Way with naked eyes), and the proximity to everything in the northern half of the island. Favorite beaches were Ben Bay (although lots of boats came in), Tay Bay (pretty private little cove on far east end), French Leave (probably our favorite of the week), and Ten Bay, which we went to twice. Amazing shallow water for 100 yards. Perfect for kids.
Palm Bluff provided the perfect getaway we needed to get away from people and COVID. So glad we chose this as our home base. Thanks Ellett, we appreciate you sharing your beautiful home with us!
