Mike R. from Baton Rouge, LA US recommends this vacation rental.
We have been to Lutra 3 times and gone to many beaches, however, this location takes first prize! Cottage was clean, neat,and directly on the best beachfront on the island. We had some internet/tv streaming issues that the owner got involved with immediately. She took care of this issue and a low water pressure issue promptly! Snorkling on the rocks/reef out front was quite good. We would love to stay here again very soon!

We spent 8 days at Pebbles. The Views from the cottage were spectacular and, you will see very few people. The House was clean, well stocked and, comfortable. If you want long private walks along the beach in either direction this place is for you.

Cindy N. from Issaquah, WA US recommends this vacation rental.
We had a wonderful time staying at Pebbles, we would definitely stay there again. The location is perfect as it is only a mile from Tippy”s and a few miles from Governors Harbor. There is a perfect area to swim just below the cottage, especially at low tide. The cottage could use some updating, but we were aware of this from other reviews. It had everything we needed, including 2 beach chairs, beach towels, and portable cooler. The house managers were responsive when we needed help with the internet. The views from the cottage and patio are incredible!

Don H. from Austin, TX US recommends this vacation rental.
This was our 4th vacation to Eleuthera and Gov Harbour, but the first time staying at Pebbles. The home is on the beach on the Atlantic side and the waves rolled in continually, providing a perfect background 24/7. The owners were also staying on the property in the main house and they were lovely and helpful. Their four sweet potcake dogs visited us everyday. The layout is a 1 bed/2b bath and while there is a sofa bed in case you are more than 2 guests, it was not the most comfortable sofa bed. We will definitely look to stay here again on our next trip.

Wonderful stay with a phenomenal location. House is very nice but don’t expect luxury. When we had a minor issue it was taken care of immediately. Our host was very nice and helpful. Eleuthera and the house was a pleasant surprise.

David G. from Farragut, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.
The location, view, beach and access, privacy and cleanliness of the property were everything we hoped for. We had a wonderful, relaxing, rejuvenating stay. This is the best experience Eleuthera offers except for the friendliness of the Eleutherans (or if you are a bonefisherman).
I recommend that the owners install a water processing system to remove the smell of hydrogen sulfide from the tap/shower water. It's not a showstopper but detracts from the otherwise wonderful experience of staying in Pebbles. This pretty much explains 4 instead of 5 stars for property condition.

Daniel C. from Mulmur, ON CA recommends this vacation rental.
Our vacation experience was exactly what we were looking for. The cottage was situated right on the beach and it was quaint and cozy; perfect for two. There was seldom anyone on the beach and the solitude enhanced the perfection of the surrounding. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is where you have to go. Be prepared for a "cottage" experience. You will not find marble countertops and stainless steel appliances; however, the cottage is well stocked. Overall, the cottage needs a little TLC. Although the bathroom is undergoing renovations, further work is still required. A fresh coat of paint throughout the cottage, updated appliances and new patio doors would add to the enjoyment of the stay. I am sure this will all be done in due course. Overall an outstanding vacation and owner was extremely helpful in every way.

Tyler B. from Washington, DC US recommends this vacation rental.
The beach at this property is one of the nicest on the Atlantic side of the island. Natural rock breakers stretch out from shore to form a pristine cove with calm clear waters teaming with marine life. Great for kids who are wary of large waves. Atlantic breezes keep the bugs away. The house is clean and cozy with new bathrooms and kitchen. Perched on a small bluff, it offers stunning ocean views. Location is convenient to Governors Harbor and close to Tippy's and Le Bougainvillea for dinner. Hope to return.

A guest from Seatlle, WA United States recommends this vacation rental.
We have been all over the world and we expected to be underwhelmed in Eleuthera BUT it is very special and there is no place like it! I would live here permanently. Pebbles is located on the BEST spot in Eleuthera, once special attraction is the Venus pool, it is indescribable!
That being said we have a few cons- (but keep in mind the property is amazingly affordable and is older)-
Bugs-it is porous. No matter what they tell you the bugs will get in. We are not new to the tropics and we are not naive. They told us to keep the doors and screens shut, which we did, but the sliding screen doors were hard to maneuver as the wheels were gone. I know this seems a small thing but when you live in and out of doors it is best if the the sliders work well. There were bugs and not just coming in from the few seconds the screens were opened.
Cleanliness-for the most part it was great but two things really bothered us. 1). I had to clean the entire fridge before I could put my food in it. Someone spilled something dark and ugly which seeped under the glass and frame. I understand I may be more picky than others, so this is on me but I took the entire fridge apart and cleaned it, all the selfs and drawers. 2). The Kitchen window was full of dead bugs and old cobwebs and the frame was dirty and greasy. I know it sounds petty but it was gross to look at, who wants to look at dead bugs stuck to the screen. It is, after all, a hard earned vacation for us. I almost hosed it down myself but wanted to be respectful of their water consumption. Unexpected- We were there at extremely high tides and experienced some storming. The access to the beach was only possible at low tide. We are both great swimmers and can handle rough oceans but this was not what we expected. Had we known this, it would had been a deal breaker for us as we swim several times a day. Pros-The owner and property management team were amazing and provided a high level of customer ser

The property was perfectly located on the amazing pink sands of Eleuthera. Renting was smooth and directions provided led us to the house. Location Location Location...restaurants like Tippy's and LaBorgavillea are right down the street, and a short drive into Governor's Harbour has everything from fresh caught seafood at the docks, to groceries from the well appointed store.

While the interior of Pebbles is need of a facelift, the cottage does afford everything you might require for a week's stay. The shabbiness of the decor is more than made up for however by the magnificence of the sea views and the spectacular beach. Most mornings, until about 1PM, we were the only people on this incredible stretch of pink sand and aqua water, and we took utmost advantage of it. We would return as a result.

A guest from Hamilton, ON Canada recommends this vacation rental.
Pebbles Cottage has the advantage of being situated in the middle of the island and right on the Atlantic shores. Close to a few reputable eateries (such as Tippy's and our fav Fine Foods) and places like the Leon's Preservation). It only takes a few hours to get to a northern island destination (such as Preacher's Caves or our fav Queen's Bath) and the same time to a southern destination (such as Lighthouse Beach or the Marina). Cottage was clean and well-maintained; it looked just as the photos suggest. Yes, the tap water does not smell great as mentioned in other reviews but that's to be expected with sulfur in water (commonly found in well water). The few issues we had during our stay were out of the ordinary: the microwave failed but the owner and housekeeper had a mechanic inspect then replace it within a day. The few things that were out of stock (such as toilet paper) we could have easily requested or picked up at a store. We would have enjoyed a DVD player that worked for the late evenings. Owner is friendly and helpful. Beach was beautiful and semi-private; only flaw was the washed up garbage against the coastal line of the beach (actually all over Eleuthera). Pebbles had a new housekeeper and she was very kind and helpful though hard to get in touch with. The bed at Pebbles was comfortable - a bonus! You could open the patio door in the room and listen to ocean waves all day and night. Neighbors were hardly seen or heard. Only thing that was confusing was the reservation end of things through VRBO and finding the cottage in the first place. We were told how to get to "On the Rocks" but on arrival still drove past it 3 times - so did a local man who came to repair our rental flat tire. Fav activities was hiking the preserve, visiting Queen's Bath, snorkeling. Check out Eleuthera Tours - great service! Make sure to rent a 4x4 for beach hunting and save up for the grocery costs or better yet, bring your own food - though Rum is cheap!!!!

A guest from Fulbourn, XX United Kingdom recommends this vacation rental.
What a lovely setting on the Atlantic side of Eleuthera! The beach is spectacular with clear warm water, which changes in character from high to low tide. It's a great walk down to Tippy's and back for exercise. There were very few other people using the beach in November, when we were there. The property was very private because there was no one in the main house, but we don't think it would be intrusive if there were guests there.

Will N. from Saint Louis, MO United States recommends this vacation rental.
Pebbles is situated in a perfect location. The beach right out back is gorgeous. The proximity to Governor's Harbour is also highly desirable. Tippy's is right down the road and is always great. The Buccaneer Club is close as well and offers a great place to grab breakfast. 1648 is another fantastic place, especially to catch a meal on the balcony overlooking the sunset.
The home itself needs a lot of maintenance and was not in good condition for our trip. Eleuthera Vacation Rentals were very responsive and accommodating, though. They did everything they could to help address the issues with the house. They even offered us alternative housing options while we were there, but we decided the location of the property was too perfect to relocate.
Overall, pick Pebbles for the location. We hope they make some much needed renovations. If that happens, it would be easy to recommend the rental to others.

Deborah S. from Nashville, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.
The extremely well situated property with breathtaking views was exactly as I older home perfect for those wanting a simple and relaxing time to enjoy the mostly deserted beach and incredible views.We loved it. Some hints: - The owner let us know that we could use the very short path to the beach connected to the house next door as our short path was a bit shaky for us. -The dryer is in the house next door. -The Venus Pool never materialized as shown in the photos. With official low tide times (obtained from the Haynes Library) I continued to check. The tide was never as low it must be for the pool to look like the photos.There is certainly nothing you can do about the pull of the moon! -Bring beach shoes so you can climb on the rocks and enjoy another view.-We like to cook our own food. The Island Farm had the best broccoli, papayas, fresh herbs, wine and liquor, etc ever. That along with fish from the dock in Governor's Harbor (look for the umbrella to go up around 3:30) and the nicely stocked kitchen at Pebbles completed our wonderful stay.

A guest from BUDERIM, QLD Australia recommends this vacation rental.
The house is an older style but was very comfortable for the two of us. Nice big comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, good internet connection, outdoor area with great views. A couple of little maintenance issues that were no big deal. Most importantly .... GREAT LOCATION ... house is metres from the water .... loved sitting on the back deck watching the ocean, walking down to the beach for a swim or snorkel and walking along the beach in either direction. 5 minute drive to Governors Harbour where there are a couple of reasonable supermarkets (a much better one in Rock Sound) and a couple of bottle shops. Overall, perfect for a very relaxing week.

Jeanne A. from Charlottesville, Virginia United States recommends this vacation rental.
We really enjoyed our 8 night stay in Pebbles. The location is absolutely amazing and we went days with only seeing a handful of other people on the beach all day. We got married on the beach right in front of the house during our stay at Pebbles. The ceremony and views were beyond perfect! Pebbles is a beautiful rental and we were pleased with the house. It had all of the amentities that we needed. We thought the Friday night fish fry was fun and really enjoyed many meals at the Buccaneer Inn. We had the nicest meal at the 1648 Restaurant our wedding night, but it was pricey. We really hope to get back to Pebbles. The owner was there during our stay and she was very helpful with all. We had an amazing, romantic stay at Pebbles and would go back!
