Didn't want to leave!!!
We just completed our second long stay at Ocean Waves and loved every minute of it, as we did on our first stay. We would have stayed longer if there wasn't another booking in the way! :) Ocean Waves is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, and absolutely everything has been thought of by Ocean Waves' spectacular hosts! We feel like we've made friends for life. They are the most wonderful people and made us feel so welcome. We were very touched! The view is fantastic and sitting out on the terrace in the early mornings as the sun rises or the beautiful peaceful evenings is heavenly. One of the best beaches on the island is about a one minute easy walk from the house and there are miles of beach to explore and great swimming! The house is super peaceful and private, and couldn't be more convenient in every way. We love the owners and we love the house and feel so so blessed to have been able to stay here for around three months in total! Highly highly recommended!

This place is an absolute gem!!!
We spent more than two months at Ocean Waves, and feel like the luckiest couple in Eleuthera. It is truly a dream property! Peaceful, private, incredible panoramic view, and lovely terrace from which to enjoy it. A one minute serene walk to the beach. Absolutely stunning beach where we walked for hours. Convenient to Governors Harbour. The house was pristine and we felt welcomed by the owner and her wonderful family. They were there for us whenever we needed anything at all. The owner has thought of everything you might need and more! We felt so cared for and spoilt. We had so much fun and felt so blessed to have found Ocean Waves on our first trip to Eleuthera. We've already booked our next long stay, and can't wait to be back there!! Thank you so very much to the amazing and wonderful hosts of Ocean Waves!

Superbe Maison lumineuse
Nous avons grandement apprécié cette maison. C’est la première fois que nous louons coté atlantique. Maison lumineuse, longue plage à moins d’une minute juste au bout du terrain, était fort appréciée! Le vent plus présent de ce côté mais ne m’a pas empêché d’en profiter! Y’a tout ce qu’il faut pour passer de belles vacances!! À 5 minutes de Govervor’s Harbour , 10 minutes de l’aéroport GHB et à 8 minutes de Sweet and Savoryexcellent sandwichs et salades fait sur place dans sa roulotte!! Je n’hésite pas à recommander cette maison!Merci à Lachelle !

Ocean Waves
This was our 3rd visit and it was wonderful as our previous two stays. Ocean Waves feels like home away from home, we love everything about it: the beautiful view, gorgeous beach, peace and quiet, friendly, helpful, responsive host, and various amenities including a lovely patio, an outdoor shower, lightweight beach chairs, and snorkeling equipment, to name a few. The house has good air flow - we kept the windows open for the cross breeze and never needed the AC. Can't wait to come back next year!

Beautiful home
This is our second three-week stay at Ocean Waves, which was wonderful once again. We keep returning because the house has everything we need and Lachelle is an excellent host. It’s a 3-minute walk to a near-empty beach on the Atlantic side, a 7-minute drive to a beautiful beach on the Caribbean side, and only a short drive to the restaurants and supplies in Governor’s Harbour. Highly recommended!

Excellent Stay at Ocean Waves
Just got back from 10 days at Ocean Waves...and already looking ahead to plan our return trip!If anything, the pictures don't do it justice...the view of the water is great, and you have a private access path to the beach, so it's just a minute walk down the hill. The beach is amazing...the most people we saw on it at one time was less than 10, and great for long walks any time of day.Pascal's restaurant is a 5 minute walk down a semi-private road, and provides a great menu to choose from...we ate there 3 times. The house is situated about a 5-6 minute drive into Governor's Harbour, giving access to several other amazing places to eat...we thoroughly enjoyed the Buccaneer Club, Tippy's, and had amazing meals at Bougainvillea and The French Leave. If you would rather stay in and cook (as food prices on the island are very high), there is a good grocery store in Governor's Harbour, Jimmy's Liquor store has a great selection of beer, wine and spirits, and Island Farm is only about a 15 minute drive, where you can source fresh produce and other things (we actually got a fresh lasagna there one day)...highly recommended to check it out.The host, Lachelle, is amazing at responding to questions...usually within an hour, and we felt we were well taken care of!Definitely need a rental car...we used Bruno's at Lachelle's recommendation and it worked out great.Looking forward to going back!

Amazing Place
Oceanwaves is an absolute gem. The house itself is in a great location overlooking the sea with amazing views. There is everything you will need in this house to enjoy some total rest and relaxation as it is very well equipped in all areas including the kitchen and outside areas. The beach is a short stroll away and you can walk on the beach for a long time without seeing many people if anyone at all. There are several restaurants nearby that serve good food and lovely cocktails if you don't feel like cooking ! We had an amazing time at Oceanwaves and cannot praise the host Lachelle enough for her communication and positive vibes. Nothing was too much trouble and we would thoroughly recommend this house and host to anyone looking for a fantastic venue for a relaxing vacation in idyllic surroundings.

Traumhafte Aussicht mit tollem Strand
Das Haus ist vollständig modern eingerichtet. Kaffee, Tee, Honig, öl und vieles mehr ist vorhanden. Zentral gelegen ist man mit dem Wagen schnell im Norden oder Süden. Restaurants, Shops, Farm schnell erreichbar. Der Strand vom riesigen Grundstück erreichbar ist ein Traum. Eine Tagestour mit dem Boot von Todd Pinder ist nicht billig aber jeden Cent wert. Lachelle ist immer erreichbar und hilft mit Reservierungen und gibt gute Tipps. Alles Top, zu 100% zu empfehlen.

Pictures do not do it justice! This home was gorgeous inside and out. The views are breathtaking. Laschelle was amazing. She was available via text/phone call whenever we needed her. The house had every amenity you need plus many extras. A short easy walk to Paschals with great food and wonderful bar tender (Sammy). If you visit Eleuthera we recommend Ocean Waves hands down! Thank you for an amazing vacation!

A gorgeous home away from home
We loved our three-week stay. Lachelle is a gracious host, responsive and welcoming. (A delicious apple pie made by her cousin was waiting for us when we arrived.) The comfy, clean house has an ocean view from every room and is a three-minute walk to a beach where we rarely saw more than one other couple. There is wonderful cross ventilation inside, thanks to large sliding glass screened doors in the living room and bedrooms and windows in every room. Outside are comfy chairs and lounges, some of which get afternoon shade. The kitchen is fully equipped, and if anything needed fixing, Jason attended to it right away. The restaurants and grocery stores in Governor’s Harbour are only a 10-minute drive away. The vibe here is so civilized--calm and relaxing. We can’t wait to return.

Ocean Waves is a gem! We love staying here and had a wonderful time on our second visit - would've stayed longer if we could have. The house is nicely outfitted with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room and bedrooms, and just about everything you need for the beach. The view is stunning, whatever the weather. The owner is helpful, responsive and a pleasure to deal with - though we've never met in person, it feels like we're friends. Already looking forward to returning next year. Thank you!! ❤️

Can't say enough good things about our stay. The ambiance of this ocean side home was just the thing we needed for the 2+ weeks we stayed at Ocean Waves. Comfortable accommodations, well appointed kitchen, beautiful windows to enjoy the beauty of the location, wonderful outdoor chairs and tables to be outside, and a great host who answered all our questions promptly. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

What a view
Loved the beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean from this beautiful home. Was nicely decorated , clean and fully equipped . Lachelle was easy to communicate with and even left us a welcome treat! Despite the stormy weather we had a nice time enjoying Ocean Waves. Would recommend to bring cash when you visit the island. Some stores ,bars and gas stations were cash only. We were very happy we rented the car from Bruno . His employee Mike saw us safely to the house in the storm the night we arrived. The location of the home is terrific as you have the option to explore going north or south. Highly recommend this comfortable home.

Hope to return soon!
We absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Waves! First, Lachelle was one of the most responsive hosts we've ever had. She and Jason were very helpful and generous. The house is spacious, very pleasant, and comfortable with a stunning ocean view. The A/C worked well with controls for each room, though we often turned it off to enjoy the breezes. It's a very short walk to the private gazebo and an absolutely wonderful stretch of beach. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful Eleuthera waters, and afterwards we especially liked sitting on the deck enjoying the warm breezes and listening to the waves. The kitchen is very well equipped. The location is private and serene, but it's an easy 10-minute drive to Governor's Harbour. The central location was great for exploring a lot of the island. We'd love to stay at Ocean Waves again and experience more of Eleuthera and its island love. Many thanks to the Thompson family for their wonderful hospitality!
