We stayed at Sunshine House for the first 5 nights of our 8 night stay in Eleuthera. It was the perfect location for exploring the top half of the island. It was a beautiful and easy drive from Northern Eleuthera Airport. When we arrived at the house it was unlocked and ready for us to move in. Lisa, the caretaker, stopped by shortly after we arrived to check on us & she was so kind. The road is very quiet, so you just park on the side of the road, in front of the house. There is a plenty of outdoor/deck space to spread out and unwind. Pretty plants and trees and a little path that leads down to the water. There are rock stairs and a metal ladder to get down to the water, but we didn't get in b/c the water was pretty choppy the entire time. The constant sound of waves was so nice! The huge wrap around deck has really nice teak furniture, some adirondack chairs and two lounge chairs. Plus little string lights to put on at night. I read books out on the deck every night, and the stars were AMAZING. Two sets of double doors lead out the deck. The kitchen was fully stocked (coffee maker, french press, pots, pans, cutting boards, utensils, pitchers, microwave, dishwasher, ice trays, water dispenser, dish soap, etc). The only thing missing was a larger nonstick frying pan! Large dining room table, wicker living room furniture, shelves with books/bar glasses/maps, etc. Bedrooms were great - cozy beds and linens and ample closet space. The master bedroom is way bigger that it shows in the photos - king bed, dresser, ample closet space, plus a TV area with futon and plenty of board games and movies. Air conditioning worked great (four wall units) plus each room has ceiling fans and extra floor fans. Cozy beach towels were provided as well as extra snorkel gear, wetsuits, boogie boards, float noodles, beach chairs, etc. Washer and dryer underneath the deck. The kids loved running around in the yard. What was great about this house is the location -- very close to so many things. Rainbow Beach is so great (great snorkeling for adults and kids) and just a couple minutes away. Also close to Queen's Baths, The Cliffs, the Glass Window Bridge, great beaches (Secret Beach, Surfers Beach), Hatchet Bay, James Cistern, etc. Easy day trip to Spanish Wells from this location. We felt very safe at this house and Jennifer always got back to me right away when I emailed her beforehand. We would stay at this place again in a heartbeat. Perfect for a family of 4 or more.
