the host is not cooperative
We tried to cancel at the last minute having no possibility to be at the rental and once the card was processed, it was no longer the host’s problem, did not even answer my messages. Very disappointed, I use VRBO often and this was not good management. We’ll be on the island again next year but never booking there again even if it looked great on the pictures.

This property worked well for our family of 5. Very spacious and our kids loved having the pool. We also LOVED that rainbow bay beach was close by. Contact with the owner was great and they even allowed us to drop suitcases off during cleaning so we didn't have to leave them in our vehicle while we explored beaches. Would stay again.

Love love. I stayed here back in 2019 and I was excited to see they added a pool! The host was great with communication. Only minor issue was the water went out a few times while washing a load of clothes but I didn’t mind. Overall, great stay!

Family Vacation with Two Kids (9 and 10)
Very comfortable home that is well adapted to a family with two young kids (9 and 10). The pool was perfect to cool off, we were there for the last week of July and the weather was hot (38C). The location is peaceful and quiet with few neighbors and very close to two beaches. Food and amenities are expensive on the island and you might not find what you're looking for in the general stores there, so pack your coffee/tea if you are fussy about that. The people of Eleuthera are friendly and accommodating and we felt safe at all times during our stay wherever we went. Make sure to have bug spray for the noseeums!

Great house, great location!
My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) stayed here for 7 nights. Communication with the owners was excellent. They always replied quickly and gave helpful tips. We arrived at noon and needed to wait for the house cleaner to finish up. The owner gave us the perfect plan for how to spend our first few hours on the island. We loved the location. It's close to Cravings (excellent bakery) and Rainbow Inn (great food and view). Within a 45 min drive (North and South), we had access to Gaulding Cay, Queen's Baths, Glass Window Bridge, Preacher’s Cave, Tay Bay, Gene's Dock, Twin Coves, Ten Bay, and Receiver's Beach (and more). The pool! My kids spent every minute at the house in the pool. It was clean, refreshing, and deep enough for all of us to enjoy. The house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other the whole time. AC worked well and cooled the rooms quickly on arrival. Furniture was clean and comfy, and all appliances worked. Some reviews mention the house needing TLC...this is not touristy Nassau. Getting parts/replacements to the island is expensive and takes time. However, that's the trade-off for beautiful beaches that are practically empty. The electricity did go off frequently but never lasted long (maybe an hour). There was nothing about the house that affected our stay or made us regret renting it. We would definitely rent again!

Wonderful week at Sugar Apple
The house and pool (awesome) were just as shown on the website and had all the necessities. We enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean and cool breezes while relaxing on the deck. It was in a perfect location on the island, with easy access to north and south beaches and shops. Our border collie loved the fenced in yard and made new friends too! The hosts quickly responded to our questions and gave great recommendations for rental car, phones, etc. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Sugar Apple is sweet.
The house was as described and we didn't have any issues aside from a short power outage on arrival. With no power, there is no running water and no internet with which to message the hosts. It gets really hot FAST and all of the windows don't open. Apparently, these happen regularly and cannot be avoided. The elements are tough on houses there and it is in need of maintenance, but it served us well. The view is great from the deck and pool area! I did not use the pool, but it was clean and inviting. The driveway has a pretty big drop-off, so we had to park more in the street as we had a compact car not equipped to handle it. This was not a problem though; it's not a busy road. House was stocked with all we needed in the way of plates and utensils and linens, but there are no food staples at all, so be prepared to buy EVERYTHING or bring it with you. (Probably COVID's fault) Location is great, very close to the Rainbow Inn which has good food and great pizzas. Overall, a good house that I would recommend for large groups that would like a pool.

Great stay in Rainbow Bay
We had a wonderful stay in Rainbow Bay. The location of the home was central and conveniently located to everything we were interested in exploring. We enjoyed having the pool as an option. Endless gorgeous beaches to explore. It was fun to be able to pop back and forth between Caribbean side and Atlantic side beaches. Great first time experience in Eleuthera!

As Expected - Good Stay
We had a very good time at the Sugar Apple house, and a positive experience. The house isn’t the newest and definitely needs updating, but it is fully functional - including AC, washer/dryer and a reverse osmosis water filtration system (which was super handy to have for drinking water). The dated house really didn’t effect us, as we spent most days out exploring the island. The location is great, and was close to all of our favorite areas of north Eleuthera. Brianna was great to deal with and is very responsive.

Great Place, Great Location!
Our family stayed here for 12 days with 2 toddlers and this place was perfect! Central location made it easy to travel North or South whichever we chose each day. Lazy days were spent by the pool in the morning sun and Rainbow Beach in the afternoon. Pool was chilly but expected in February, however very refreshing on the real hot days and the pool was kept very clean. Great ocean view of the Atlantic and loved listening to the waves each night. AC worked quick every time we turned it on, kitchen had everything we needed. Some real nice dining options were 10 minute drive to James Cistern or 10 minute to Hatchet Bay. Owners were very prompt answering any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

Provided a nice place at a decent price
The property was overall a decent place. Rooms were very big, the four A/C units worked very well. The house is away from all traffic and offered ocean views. The place could use some maintenance (for safety, aesthetics, and function). The property is definitely in need of a lot of cleaning. The owners were great to deal with, very responsive to questions. Eleuthera is very quiet, next to no tourists and locals are extremely polite!

Comfortable stay on our favorite island.
The property certainly has everything you need for a comfortable stay: Cookware, dishware (even Christmas themed for the Holidays), towels, washer/dryer, starting essentials (dish soap, tp, paper towels). The AC worked great and the pool was lovely and extremely clean. The location is very convenient and has beautiful views overlooking the Atlantic and the Rainbow Bay beach park is a lovely 20-25 minute walk (5 min. drive) to a beautiful little beach on the Caribbean to take in stunning sunsets. Rainbow Bay Inn has a great restaurant and is only about a 5-7 minute drive and Big Rock convenience store is a simple 5-7 minute drive for any essentials you may need. Our only recommendation would be to provide a small amount of cleaner in the kitchen for cleaning kitchen and countertops and stovetop since we did a lot of cooking. We highly recommend bringing a cooler of frozen meats with you because it will save you a ton of money on food costs. Thank you for a lovely stay on this incredibly beautiful island!

Great value
The house is located in the middle of the island so it was great for exploring the different parts of eleuthera. We rented a car from mack rentals as suggested by the host which went smoothly. This was our first time in eleurhera (and in the bahamas). We stayed late November through early December. For the reviews complaining about ants, we did see some on the first day when we checked in, but as long as you keep the counters clean, you won't see them. I cooked breakfast every day and dinner most days and they were not a problem for us at all. You'll just have to buy some cleaner from the store and clean up after yourself. The pool is not heated but we enjoyed it when it was hot in the mornings to cool down. The sun is directly on the pool in the morning so just jump in and you get used to the water in no time. This is a special place for sure and we are glad we had the opportunity to stay here.

Eluthera... It's not for Everyone
This was our second trip to Eluthera and first time staying in Rainbow Bay. The house was great. Pool was clutch to have when the beaches were crowded or buggy. While there may be nicer homes on Eluthera, this was perfect for our needs (2 adults, 2 kids). Was great to have access to two Atlantic side beaches and the Rainbow Bay Beach on the Caribbean side - all within a short 3-5min drive. Not really walkable with two small kids, but still accessible. As some of the other reviewers have said, the house and furnishings are a little well-loved, but perfectly comfortable.

Clean in rainbow bay
The owners were very accommodating and let us check in early / drop off luggage, they were excellent at timely communication. The home was clean and it was just what we needed for the last few nights on the island. Good view of the waves from the deck. Rainbow bay is a good location and the beach on the Caribbean side was good snorkeling. The kids swam in the pool in the morning when the sun was on it otherwise it was a bit cold with the wind in the afternoon / evening. Some general upkeep and fixes could be done but for the price point it was fine.
