Hosted on island by the owner and Airbnb Superhost, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage offers 930 sq feet of cozy island space with a beautiful view of The Atlantic Ocean. With a covered porch to sit back and relax while you watch the million stars light up the sky. We offer assistance with booking rental cars if needed. Just a brisk 5 minute walk from the cottage is a private and secluded beach called Twin Beach where it sits in the cliff face on the Atlantic Side. But access is only safest at low tide on calm days.
A place to just settle back, unwind and relax in a comfortable and peaceful place for an affordable price. Located in a great place to feel fantastic Atlantic Ocean breezes, minimize the bug invasion and be central enough to go to any part of the island

We were in Eleuthera for a short visit and the cottage was in a great location for us. The host responded almost instantly to requests we had. Only note for future visitors is that customs were requiring the exact address and the host information, and we did not have all of it. Since we weren't connected to WiFi to pull it up customs were polite about it but were not thrilled that we didn't have all the information ready.
Had a good stay but was without an iron for the two most important days of the meeting. I couldn’t wear the proper shirts. Also first Ty we had to take out our garbage. It was difficult finding our way in and out of Rainbow Bay and the roads was bad

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Good start, unfortunate ending
I wish I could leave a 5 star review.
TLDR:
This is a lower level, someone lives upstairs with a barking dog, host was kind at first, then disrespectful.
Details:
At the time of my stay, The listing does not disclose this is a lower level. The tenant above, I'm sure is a lovely person, but around 7 to 8am they awoke me from regular footsteps, doors opening and closing, and their dog barking outside.
I informed the host about this after the first morning and they were kind but also shocked to hear my feedback.
On my final day, i sent a message listing about 5 things that i found could be improved for the next guest. Dead remote batteries, missing screen from window, etc, and reiterated my unhappiness about this not being disclosed it's a lower level. I wanted to sleep in and I was awoken each morning much earlier than I liked. Also it made me feel awkward about how much noise I was making. I informed them that I loved the previous stay at Pinneapple Blues, but this experience was a 3 star rating.
The host commented saying I should have messaged them immediately for each thing. And they insinuated I must be lying about the upstairs and dog because no one ever said anything before. They threatened to never rent to me again if I leave a 3 star review.
I meant no ill will or malice, I proceeded to send them videos I recorded to cover my own butt, and their response was "... Can't please everyone..."
I hope my experience is an exception. I'm sad it turned out like this
The property and views were beautiful. We enjoyed our morning and evening walks. Enjoyed hearing the ocean as it broke on the cliffs. The house was very well equipped and comfortable. We are already planning our next trip! The hosts were also very helpful and had suggestions on what to do while there. Highly recommend!
We stayed at Sandy Toes for three weeks and really liked the open layout for the kitchen and living room. Large bedrooms and bathrooms with plenty of closet space. We could hear the Atlantic roar at night from the porch or open window. The home is very comfortable and provided everything we needed. Rainbow Bay beach on the Caribbean side is a 5- minute drive away. The beach has about 6 talapas with picnic tables providing shade and a place to spread out and relax for the day. Beautiful sunsets from Rainbow Bay beach, and the water was warm and amazingly clear, great for families with small children since most days the sea was very calm. We truly enjoyed our stay at Sandy Toes and would highly recommend this property!
I would say it was a home away from home. My hubby and I were looking for some quiet time away to rest and do some fishing.......we got that and were revived.
Good day,vi would first like to thank the management for their concerns of my wife and I getting everything they hoped for us to make our stay grand. The communication and consistent checking in with us made our stay comfortable. We will be coming back in July of this year and will bring other family members to experience this home away from home.
Thank you again for all that you do and we will be back soon.
"Take Ya Time" until then!!
Finding this home was relatively easy. The only complaint I have was ants. But I feel like that's to be expected with where the house is located. Just keep food up or in the fridge and you won't have a problem. The house is well maintained everything was super clean. Our little man was 13 months old and they gave us a pack n play to use they are super accommodating. Would recommend staying there to all my friends.

Perfect Base for Island Activities
What a beautiful cottage! Everything we needed was in the house, fresh and clean when we arrived and the local grocery store and restaurant were just a short drive away. This was a perfect base, putting us within easy driving distance of the North and South for our search for a more permanent place to live. Gorgeous beaches and scenery abound. We even made it all the way down to Lighthouse Point. The cottage had various water toys as well should anyone need them. We were very happy indeed with the peacefulness of the neighborhood and the distant sounds of waves crashing on the shore below.

So cute
This cottage is so cute. It had all the space we needed for my family of four. Fitted out just like our home to enable us to cook and grill our meals. It’s located kind of in the middle of Eleuthera allowing exploring north or south. The property managers do a great job seeing to any questions or troubles while your on vacation which is always good to have being far away from home. We would definitely recommend.

Amazing Property- Ideal for Most Travellers, Including Families!
Josette has been nothing but excellent to deal with while I was planning our trip and while we were there- extremely helpful and easy to deal with. She also help us with our car rental with Israel Johnson, who was also excellent.
This is a very nice vacation property! We loved the homey/cottage decor and feeling of this property. Many properties we have stayed at just aren't very cozy or comfy- this is not one of them! Josette has taken the time to think of all of the little details to make your stay easy and enjoyable. This home has everything you need to prepare great meals, relax and enjoy the home and the island. We used the pack and play, car seat, snorkel gear and beach gear during our trip and it was so nice to have this all available and not have to lug it all with us!
I travelled with my husband and our 21 month old son and we had an excellent time!

Cute spacious cottage. Great location!
We enjoyed our stay and loved the location which was very close to Rainbow beach and Rainbow Inn. On Monday night we enjoyed pizza night at the Inn. There were many beaches we visited during our stay and the coral reefs were easy to get to and excellent for snorkeling. The owner was very easy to work with and answered any questions we had. They even brought us snorkeling gear when we were not able to find the missing gear at the cottage. It was great to have Josette reserve the rental car also. This was extremely helpful as we were met at the airport by the man who we rented the car from. We had a great time visiting many historic places and beautiful beaches in Eleuthera and would love to visit again.

Loved our time in Rainbow Bay!
There was a hiccup with power being out / Take Ya Time unable to be cleaned on the day of our arrival, so Josette and Delano put us up in a lovely, newer place just across the street. The place was brand new with lovely furnishings and decor, the kitchen stocked with everything we needed to do a lot of our own cooking, and Josette and Delano couldn't have been better hosts. We did see Take Ya Time, and we would've been happy there, too.
We loved the location in the central-ish part of the island so we could explore to both the north and the south. We were there during low season, so the Rainbow Inn was closed unfortunately (as were other places...maybe sure to be prepared for that if going to Eleuthera September-October), but there were plenty of places open, and we cooked at home a lot. Rainbow Bay is close to so many beautiful beaches. We were happy to have our Jeep with us as roads other than the Queen's Highway can necessitate a high-clearance vehicle, and you do have to drive to most everything. But you will also enjoy sitting on the porch, taking in the sea breezes, views, and quiet. We hope to be back!!
