Nina C. from Barrytown, NY United States recommends this vacation rental.
Our stay at Aqua Vista was wonderful. Being able to walk on the beach right past the quaint back yard was exactly what we were looking for. Complete privacy as the houses flanking the land were distant enough to not cross paths. We encountered very few people during our stay. The ocean was gorgeous for swimming, though they were quite a few rock shelves on the shoreline. The house is comfortable, bright and spacious. The kitchen is laid out well, though could use more cooking tools and new knives (the ones available were quite useless). We barely used the a/c during our stay as the house remains cool, ceiling fans were plenty to keep us cool. Charles was incredibly helpful and promptly answered all questions and needs. He even graciously got us some groceries as our flight was super delayed. The beds could use better pillows to sleep. Overall it was a lovely stay. The owner & Charles even got us a pack and play for our 20 month old baby! The location of the house is really great as it is 8 minutes from the Island Farm stand which we love, also the road is well kept along the way.
Fabulous Eleuthera vacation!

A guest from Mason Neck, VA United States recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed at an absolutely wonderful, charming, well-furnished and equipped home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The beach deck was perfect for coffee in the mornings, and the beach, while it has several rocky coral area, was easily accessible via the stairs down to the sand. Charles, our property manager, was terrific, responsive, and a great repreentative of the wonderful people of Eleuthera. Loved it!

Brian B. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
Our experience with Aqua Vista was exceptional and I highly recommend renting this beautiful home.
Before I delve into our experience with the home/property, I want to highlight the excellent customer service we received from Kristin Tornow of Eleuthera Vacation . She was a delight to deal with; by far the best customer service I’ve ever experienced in over a decade of renting vacation homes, domestically and abroad.
Aqua Vista is ideally located, mid-island, directly on the beach on the Atlantic side of the island. The setting truly is gorgeous, with sublime views of pink sand beach and the turquoise blue ocean, speckled with coral heads and barrier reefs.
The Aqua Vista house is a treasure. It’s modernly appointed and spacious, with tall ceilings and an open central floor plan. The house is perfectly sized and offers incredible views from every room in the house, with plenty of privacy and space from any neighboring properties. The house is also well equipped with everything needed for the week. The kitchen contains plenty of cookware, utensils, and glasses/plates so we could prepare meals easily. In addition, the house is connected to a generator that kicks on in the event of a power outage.
Of special note is the property’s caretaker, Charles. This man is top-shelf quality property management! He is a genuinely outstanding individual; incredibly nice, attentive, and endlessly helpful! From the moment we arrived, he was there to show us around the place and make sure that all our needs were met.
On our next visit, we will absolutely rent at Aqua Vista again! What a cherished experience!
