The Friday night Fish fry, 1648 restaurant and French Leaves marina, Sky Beach club, all top restaurants, and some of the islands best beaches on both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides of the island just minutes away. Home is located on a private cul-de-sac on the Caribbean in "Lover's Hill" a peaceful authentic Bahamian neighborhood.

Private Stay in Paradise

Property is exactly as shown. Star of the show is it's location relative all the wonderful beaches (Twin Coves, French Leave, Cocodimama, Navy Base Beach, 10 Bay Beach). Incredible how you essentially will have your own private run of these amazing white sand beaches. Saw Dolphins, Starfish, Rays, Turtles, Sharks - and each day was a new adventure (with hardly a soul to be seen on the beach). Then you have the pool to enjoy to end the day. People are friendly. Close to town (learned the last day to take cash down to the pier around 2 or 3 in the afternoon to buy fresh fish - will remember for next time). If you are looking for a resort or party - go to Baha Mar, Atlantis, or Margaritaville... If you want quiet - go to the Family Islands. Eleuthera has forever ruined beaches for my family. Simply stunning. We will be back - almost cringe telling others as it's a wonderful secret that nobody seems to know about. Sunscreen needed, we brought some essentials from back home for our 5 year old, and the bugs come out at sunrise and sunset (not during the day). Power went out once - property manager replied quickly and it was a flip of a button on the Generac.

Great Caribbean Getaway

This is a fantastic house in a fantastic location on a fantastic natural island. The house sleeps 8 very comfortably and provides every modern convenience. A refreshing pool is two steps from the back balcony door and diving and snorkeling are a mere 10 yards further in your private back yard with stairwell down to the water. Everyone loved jumping off the ledge into the crystal blue water. Beautiful views from every window in home. Great local restaurants just 3 miles down the road in lovely and quaint Governor’s Harbor. Gorgeous private pink sand beaches within 10 min drive. Twin Cove, French Leave and Banana Beach all were 5 stars! French Leave Resort and Pascal Beach resort with swim up bar added a feel of fine resorts. Locals are very friendly and the property owner responded promptly to all my texts.

We do not recommend this rental.

If you choose to stay here, be sure to inquire about all amenities & beach/pool accessories are in working order (& are safe to use) prior to your arrival. Biggest issue: generator specifically listed for frequent power outages on the island did not work & owner knew it before we even checked in. When asked the host’s response was “these things happen on the island”, “it broke prior to your arrival” and “there is nothing we can do.” Also, house is listed as “new”. It is definitely not new. Out of 7 nights, we only stayed 3 & thankfully could return home since there were no options for us to move to the week of New Years. Power was out 12 hours at one point. (We have used vrbo for 15 years for rentals & have never had something like this happen). *Despite what the host may reply, these are accurate and truthful statements.

Beautiful House on Lover’s Hills Estate

The house is as advertised. It is not large, but is very efficient with the space it provides. Everything worked, and was very enjoyable. Also, the pool did not appear to be very big in the photos, but it was much larger in person. we also enjoyed, jumping off the cliff during high tide only and otherwise enjoyed the area. Certainly would’ve enjoyed warmer weather, but that’s not on the host, for sure. I highly recommend this property.

Awesome place

This place is amazing. Host was very helpful and has a guy that can arrange rental car and any other needs. It was hard to leave the beautiful veiws of the home to go on adventures. Snorkling was at your doorstep and the cliff jumping was cool (make sure tide is up before attempting). Friendly sea turtle greeted us snorkling. We definitely want to return.

Perfect Spot!

This place, the location, is truly special. You are right on a cliff overlooking the ocean, spectacular sunsets, the most amazing reef literally in your backyard! My husband did spear fishing every day out there. He caught dinner every night and we ate on the picnic table watching the sunset. It was incredible! Being pretty much in the middle of the island, we were easily able to get to anywhere we wanted to explore for day trips. For us, it was the ideal setting off point. The home itself is beautiful and comfortable. The pool was a fabulous bonus. We cannot wait to return to this slice of paradise!

Dream come true!!!

The description of the home and amenities was “spot on”. The location was exactly what we were looking for. There was no one around, it was like we were on our own island. Even though it seemed remote there were very good low key places to eat within minutes. We really enjoyed pascals and Sammy’s which is 2 minutes from the house and the banana beach there was beautiful. We also had conch salad for the first time at The Delish Lifestyle, which was amazing atmosphere and so relaxing right on the beach. We also took about a 45 minute drive to the Sapphire Hole and the Queens Bath both of which were spectacular. Now, about the house, it was a dream come true. Anything we could have wanted was already there . More than enough towels, stocked kitchen, laundry supplies, spices. Etc… The views from the balconies were beyond amazing. The pool was great, if you wanted shade or sun both were offered. The snorkeling right off the back of the property was stellar! Saw some barracudas, starfish, the most beautiful blue and yellow fish. Spent a lot of time back there snorkeling. The electricity did go out a few times for just a little bit and Romell was quick to answer and calm our nerves. We have already discussed when we are going back!

Deborah's Eleuthera, Bahamas house

I have only wonderful things to say about Deborah's house on a cliff in Eleuthera. The beaches, and the water in particular - the navy blue of the Atlantic on one side of the side and the turquoise green on the Caribbean side -- were awesome. We have traveled the world and these were the most beautiful beaches/water we have seen. And very few people there. Drive on Queens Highway north to the Glass Bridge - a one lane stone strip of the island with the Atlantic on one side and the Caribbean on the other. Deborah's house is as shown on VRBO. It is spotlessly clean and lovely. We went to a different beach each of the 7 days we were there. We went to Harbor Island one day - not worth the 1 + hour drive to get to the ferry and then the ferry across. There is nothing there that you can't see on the main island of Eleuthera itself. And the roads are pretty horrible. The main road, Queen's Highland which runs down the middle of this narrow, long island is okay but to get to a beach you need to go on the side roads. You haven't seen a pothole until you go there. Rent a jeep or SUV with high clearance. There was no need for 4 wheel drive. Note: the food - and everything you buy - is exorbitant. E.g. a small pineapple was $10.00. Or, we went to Tippy's the first day for lunch - which we recommend - and for three sandwiches and one small Caesar salad it cost $125.00. We read reviews and blogs ahead of time so we were prepared. Most of our luggage contained food - frozen chicken, frozen turkey meatballs, pasta, even jam and a can of tomatoes and tomato paste to make a tomato sauce. Also, it is not that easy at Deborah's house to access the Caribbean. You need to walk down a very narrow path - which gave my husband vertigo - and then set up an extension ladder to reach the water. Instead, we just went to all the beautiful beaches and the pool next to her house. Back to Deborah, the host: she is terrific. A great communicator, answers your emails very promptly and keeps the property tip top. Her caretaker Romell was also very helpful and we rented a Jeep from him. $90 per day plus $70 to pick us up and drop us off at airport. The big chain rental car companies like Hertz or Avis aren't there. Also, there are very few shops. You go for the beaches and the ocean/caribbean. Very quiet. Very few people. We went to LeoRose on a Thursday night for dinner - moderately priced- and live band for dancing. Lots of fun.

An Adventure!

This was a stunning location and well-equipped for our entertainment. The kayaks were great fun and we even played the Wii as a family one night. The beds were clean and there were plenty of towels. Here are some things to note. There are small bugs in the kitchen that seem to be part of the island's reality. You must be careful to not leave any food or dishes out. The washer leaked quite a bit on the floor which we had to mop up with towels. And the shower upstairs didn't drain. The Manager of the property was quite friendly and communicative. Fixing those problems seems like it might take a while given the general pace of the island. This was our first visit to Eleuthera. It is undeveloped for sure. This is both its appeal and its downfall. The grocery stores are small and not well-supplied. Food is VERY expensive. Plan on paying no less than $25 for a burger and it goes up from there. The roads are treacherous, but an adventure. But the beaches make it all worth it. We found a new beach every day and were almost always the only people on the beach. It was a bit surreal and gave us the rest that we needed. The location of the house is amazing once you get there. You will encounter a rugged road and some loud protective dogs on your way to the house. It is all part of the adventure.

Perfect Get A Way

Booked the property for our spring break family getaway. The home was just as pictured on the website. Gorgeous location overlooking the Caribbean on a very private street. Spectacular views from every room in the house. The home was well stocked and had everything you could possibly need including extra sunscreen, kitchen equipment, cooking supplies, towels, snorkeling, equipment, kayaks, and paddle board. All of the bedrooms had extremely comfortable beds, and the owner supplied extra pillows and lots of towels for all of the guests in the home. We rented a car from the owners caretaker Romell, and he met us at the airport and was very responsive if we ever had a question regarding the home. We have rented numerous homes all over the world, and I can tell you that Deborah, the owner, was one of the most responsive and communicative owners we have ever worked with. From the very beginning, she answered all of our questions, and provided us with an abundance of information on the home, Eleuthera, places to go and great tips on restaurants. Whenever we had a question she would immediately respond. Deborah was fantastic! I would highly recommend this rental and this location! The house was perfect and the location was right in the middle of of the Island. Easy to go down south to the Lighthouse beach or up north to visit the other islands. We would love to go back.

Absolutely wonderful.

First time In Bahamas. This property and our host Deborah (who happened to be on island at the same time) were outstanding. Very friendly and helpful. Amenities are as described and having a generator was a nice sense of security. Location makes it very easy to get into Gov Harbor for restaurants or essentials. French leave beach (5-10 min by car) or just hanging out at house pool made for a very relaxing week. Nothing better than breakfast at the picnic table or evening frozen cocktails watching the sunset. As we plan our next trip to the Bahamas it’s hard to imagine a better option.

Perfect Family Vacation

My family and I vacation at Cupids Way, in January 2023. I cannot say enough great things about the house, the location, or Deborah & Romell our host/caretaker. The house is absolutely a gem. We used all of the water toys daily. We enjoyed lots of fresh fish from the dock and the grill was KEY to our dinning success! Deborah’s instructions/recommendations are about as comprehensive as I have ever seen and full of so much useful info I would recommend printing your own copy to bring with you in the car for any adventure you take. The only advice I would give to anyone reading this is bring some sort of water shoe as many of the beaches have very sharp rocks, and stay away from Silver Airlines, because their is not nearly as solid as you would think. (Just my experience.)

About the host

Hosted by Deborah

In love with Eleuthera, have travelled all over the world and hard to come by such pristine natural beauty anywhere.

Why they chose this property

This is the second home we've built from the ground up on the island. It has everything you'd ever want and more. It is in a great location, yet offers privacy sitting on over half an acre of land with almost 200 ft of linear Caribbean water frontage. You have a large private swimming pool which is extremely rare on the island as most pools on the island are small splash pools or shared with others. Cupid's Way boasts lots of unique amenities including a sun deck, a waterfront deck and great snorkeling at the waterfront. It has central AC, a gas stove and Weber BBQ. You never have to worry about power outages because there is a large generator that powers the whole house for any prolonged power outage. You also have backup supply of water for when the city cuts off the water to work on the water plant which happens often. A walkway leads you to the waterfront with amazing views of Cupid's Cay, snorkeling and fishing.
