Mark F. from Byram Township, NJ United States recommends this vacation rental.
This was probably the best beach house that we have ever booked. And it was located on a gorgeous beach.
The house was exactly as shown, well-equipped and carefully maintained. The property was spotless and nicely landscaped. The owner was communicative and attentive.
Eleuthera is a wonderful destination, and the house was located close to the commercial hub of Governor's Harbour. Varied places to eat and drink, decent shopping. The locals are so welcoming!
The recommended snorkeling destinations on Eleuthera are a distance from the house (it's a very long and narrow island), and there are only a couple of nature preserves to visit nearby. But the wonderful time spent on the beach and in the water more than make up for that.
Lovely property and location!

Kristin T. from Roswell, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.
Marvelous time at Wish House! Wish House was perfect for us. The rooms are large and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house was clean and prepared for arrival. Mack and Kayla the local property manager and caretaker were quite helpful and attentive. We were grateful for the Starlink WiFi, as we both had to work, and the backup generator was excellent! The grounds are beautiful and we spent almost every evening under the beach cabana. Easy walk on the path to the beach and a great sandy entrance into the water. We highly recommend this house and we will definitely be back! We love Double Bay Beach!
Amazing place in Eleuthera and best location!

House was great with exception the generator was not working and we were without power and water for over 24 hours.

We are so glad you enjoyed Wish House. We apologize for the issue with the generator. The homeowner has a new generator in place now.

Stephanie H. from Rogers, AR US recommends this vacation rental.
Wish House looked exactly like the photographs. The couch and beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances. The shower water got pleasingly hot. The grounds the house sits on were gorgeous and very well maintained. You have a lovely view of the ocean from the expansive windows on the back of the house. Double Bay is one of our favorite beaches on Eleuthera, so we loved the location. Being on a well with potable water and having the back up generator were really nice perks that you do not find at many of the rentals. This was our 8th trip to Eleuthera, and we will definitely stay at Wish House for our next visit.
