Tarpon Bay Beach Paradise
The property was so beautiful and made you never want to leave! We enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal clear water right outside the backdoor and stargazing under the clear starlit sky while listening to the waves crash just feet from us. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and serene place to be! Diana the owner and Charles the property manager were so kind and helpful the entire trip from start to finish which made a perfect experience even better than we could have ever imagined. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect for family with small kids
We loved this house and especially the screened in porch were we spent every morning and evening. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. We were six adults and 2 kids under 6 and we had a fantastic time. Thank you Charles for making it easy and a very relaxing stay.

Wonderful respite in southern Eleuthera
We had just a short stay in Tarpum Bay and rented this wonderful property. The beach was great and the amenities were very good. The location is a bit remote which we like but may not be for everyone. The house was extremely comfortable and catered to the children which was wonderful. Would certainly go back here again for a longer period in the future. We love Eleuthera !!!!

We had a great vacation at Parlay at Sunset. The location is very private, no close neighbors. The kitchen is very well equipped including lots of spices. We loved the Bahamas Room. The sunsets were amazing. A great selection of sunscreen and bug repellent was appreciated. We had as many as 4 local, well behaved dogs to enjoy. Buy some dog food, they are hungry. We hope to return soon for more than 8 days.

The house was great, the wall decor a bit cliche, the starving neighborhood dogs were a sad sight. The beach and water was perfect and the hosts very helpful. If you like dogs I suggest you pick up a bag of dog food, lots of dog begging otherwise!

We did parlay at sunset ;)
Parlay at Sunset is a great villa. I was amazed how much rooms and space we had. Many bedrooms, sofas, kitchen appliances, etc. On the first day when we reached the patio, we saw the beach setup with all the kayaks, paddle boards , we knew we made the right choice. This villa is spacious, clean, directly on the beach. Just amazing !

Right on the beach!
What I loved best about this property is the location - a bungalow right on Tarpum Bay. The ocean is alive here, we saw dolphins, manta rays, jacks and lots of other fish. Excellent snorkeling and kayaking. Thanks to hosts Diana and Ryan, and thanks to caretakers Ken, Audrey and Kevin for taking such good care of my family and I.

Beach bungalow in Eleuthera
We found the property online. From the beginning, we had several communications with the owner/manager. They were extremely responsive and helpful to every question. The property looked beautiful in the pictures, but was even better in person. We had a large group of six adults and four children but we were all able to stay comfortably and enjoy this exceptional property. You will enjoy it as well.

Nothing short of AMAZING
This property is absolutely AMAZING! The house, the yard, the beach, the amenities…it’s everything you could ask for. We snorkeled right off the beach and the ocean is so alive…sitting in a chair in the water reading, there was a starfish right beside us and fish swimming at our feet. The host is gave us great tips before travel and provided very helpful information for our stay. Do not pass on this property!!!

The property, the owners and caretakers were wonderful. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 to hang out. The screened in porch is wonderful. This place has everything you need to enjoy the water, paddle boards, boogie boards, kayaks, snorkels, etc. The location of the property is great, nice and close to the Island Farm, which we almost visited daily for fresh bread and produce. This property doesn’t disappoint, we’ll definitely book another stay at this property.

Tarpum Bay Vacation
What a great place to recharge. Diana and property manager, Ken, could not have been more accommodating to our family. Also, the people of Tarpum Bay are the best. We were able to live like native Eleutherans for ten days. If you wish to experience the island hospitality and natural beauty, this is the place for you. Many thanks for making this trip most memorable.
