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.

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.

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 !!!!

Parlay
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.

Excellent house and location!
This was our first time in Eleuthera and we loved everything about Parlay at Sunset. The house is modern, comfortable, and comes with many amenities both inside and out. The beach and ocean are simply stunning. The property manager, cleaners, and Diana were so kind and helpful. We will be back next year and certainly hope to stay here again!

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.

Lots of space. We only had our family of 5. This was the last place we stayed of our 2 week vacation. Our kids 6, 4 and 2 loved the toys, videos and games. It was great to relax and enjoy the beach for a couple days before we went home.

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!!!

Perfection for a family of laid back travelers!
I just wanted to thank you for sharing Parlay at Sunset with us! We had a fantastic time in Eleuthera. It might not be for everyone...but it was perfect for us! The house has ample room, a great kitchen with anything you need and more. We had planned to have our grandchildren with us but they didn't make it - we wish that they could have because they have everything necessary for them too! Diana has gone overboard to provide all of the information that you could/would need for your stay. We found food and new friends along the way too! She is spot-on with her suggestions of people to contact for services and they were all so lovely! It was an awesome vacation!

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.

Amazing vacation place for our family!
This place was perfect for our family. There was enough indoor/outdoor space to spend lazy days unwinding at home, or go out adventuring. The equipment at the house was easily accessible, in good shape and well organized so we could paddle board and snorkel very easily. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and dishes to make meal prep easy. Diana helped us organize car rental, allowing us to enjoy a fishing charter in the North as well as visit other beaches and sights along the Queen's Highway. The information on shopping and other tips were very helpful from this host! It's a beach cottage, so there were some insects and a few quirks, but nothing that significantly detracted from our enjoyment of the place. Overall, a very relaxing place to stay.
