My wife and I spent over 3 wonderful weeks at "Beside The Pointe". We were looking for an isolated get-away where we could celebrate my retirement and contemplate our next steps, and this was prefect! First of all, Keith and Sharon, the owners, were so kind and accommodating. Keith really went out of his way to make sure I had a well-functioning wifi which (unfortunately) was still a must for me. The cottage is small and clean and neat, with a great front porch looking over the wonderful bay. It was perfect! And wait till you see Keith's garden and fruit trees - his "labor of love"! Most important, the cottage itself is situated on a bluff which offers a spectacular view of Kemp's Bay. We had this bay entirely to ourselves! Our hosts have their own home next door, but we rarely saw them and other than that there is no one even close. The beach access is a bit rocky, but at low tide it is normally OK. But what was so special - apart from the seclusion - was that about 10 meters out from shore you were in about a meter or so of crystal clear water with a soft sandy bottom that stretched for over a mile to each side of the bay. Moreover, the cottage is on the Caribbean side, so it is normally very clam - sometimes almost like a sheet of glass. My wife and I love to explore, so the location of the cottage was another plus. It is close to the middle of this long island, convenient to go either direction. There was a brand new little grocery store just 2.5 miles to the South which made quick pick-ups convenient. And about 9 miles to the North is Governor's Harbor - a quaint little village with a couple good restaurants, especially (for us) Tippys and The Buccaneer. But here's the main point: we have traveled to most of the islands in the Caribbean and none - repeat, none - can compare to Eleuthera when it comes to BEAUTIFUL BEACHES. So most of the time we explored, and we could hardly believe our eyes. From North to South the beaches are absolutely stunning, and often not easy to reach. (You must have a car, preferably an SUV.) A guide, "The Beaches of Eleuthera", was left in the cottage as a gift by former grateful guests and was a big help. But even if you just try to visit all the beaches called out on the Eleuthera map, you will have your hands full.
The only negative was unrelated to the cottage - it was the scarcity and very high cost of quality food. You also must buy drinking water. Everything, even fruit, is imported, so expect high costs
