Guest Comments

Here is a sampling of unsolicited comments from the Rainbow Beach Villa (a/k/a Bahama Breeze) guestbook. We are so glad that our guests so greatly appreciate the villa and kindly let us know.

"We found the wonderful Bahama Breeze on the internet and what dumb luck it was! We could not have found a more perfect spot had we combed the island in person."

- Family from North Carolina; November/December, '06

"This was our 31st year coming to Eleuthera and Rainbow Beach Villa is among the top home we've stayed at. For any future vacationers at Rainbow Beach Villa I would only ask one favor - Don't tell your friends about it!"

Couple; Guest March 1-18, 2006

"The house is beautifully situated. The furniture, facilities, kitchen, air conditioning, etc. are excellent. This is a place that we will highly recommend to all friends. Mr. Ferguson [the care taker] was most helpful and took excellent care of us."

Family, Florida; July 1-10, 2006

"The house is superb! I enjoyed how spacious it is. It is great to wake up in the morning, draw the curtains, and view the scenic area around me. The beach is lovely. Thank you ever so much for lending us a time in your wonderful home."

Family, Florida; June 5-12, 2006

"Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us. The villa is very comfortable and well-equipped. My family and I will never forget this fantastic vacation. The villa exceeded our expectations. Your rental fee is very reasonable. Freddie [Mr. Furguson, the caretaker] was absolutely fantastic. He checked on us daily to see if we had any issues. He also gave us sightseeing, dining, and shopping tips. The guide* was a valuable asset that we took with us everywhere. It is very well written and the directions were pinpoint. We are already planning our next trip. We were very relaxed on the island. We never felt threatened as we have in other Caribbean areas and here in the U.S. Our favorite beach was Rainbow Beach. We loved your villa and the enchanting island! We hope to return soon." *20 page guide provided to all guests.

Family from Virginia with 4 kids; June 24-July 1, 2006

"We had such a wonderful time! Everything was so great, all our expectations were exceeded! Truly it was all fantastic.! We met great people, loved Rainbow Bay Beach, ate at Billy Stubbs once, went to Tippy's once, had tropical drinks at Cocodimama and loved the atmosphere. I recommend Bahama Breeze to everyone we know!"

Family with Grandparents, parents, toddler and baby January, 2007

"Freddie [the caretaker] was just as accommodating as predicted and we felt warmly received and well cared for."

- Family from North Carolina; November/December, '06

"We didn't think that our second trip to Eleuthera could possibly beat our first time around, but we surpassed every memory."

- Family from North Carolina; November/December, '06

"Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. It was wonderful! The beds were so comfy I'd fall right asleep. The ocean was great! There are lots of starfish! Again thank you so much for the beautiful house! It's right on the beach and I love opening up to the ocean. I can't describe the paradise!"

- Girl, age 11; November/December, '06

"My older granddaughter (two and a half) couldn't wait to show me Rainbow Beach and the minute I stepped foot on it I knew why! What more can you look for than to have paradise outside your front door?! I feel blessed to have had time here."

- Grandmother with adult kids and grandkids; January '07

"Our trip was wonderful and your house is perfect for us. Just the right size, in good condition, and the location is ideal. As we drove around, we didn't see another house we would have preferred. Thank you so much. We hope to come back."

- Family from Virginia with 3 sons; March-April 2007

"Rainbow Beach Villa was certainly what we needed! All of the research of finding the perfect place certainly paid off! "

- 2 couples from Alberta, Canada

"Thank you so much for an amazing holiday. The villa was perfect!"

- couple, Littlehampton, England

"We are saddened to be leaving the beautiful island of Eleuthera. We tried to visit every beach but fell short. Sunset on the upper deck with a night heron perched on the roof was a highlight! Maybe because whenever one travels your place becomes home, but of all the places we ventured we loved Rainbow Beach the best. The snorkeling is wonderful, the bay calming in all weather... One never tires of looking at it and admiring it. You will love it here."

- couple, Phoenix, AZ

"Bahama Breeze is just like home and everything you would ever need is here. Well done, you guys! We love the peace and tranquility. Indeed, one day, in the not too distant future, we will be back, to revisit this paradise on earth."

- couple, Nottinghamshire, England

"My second time here was as great as my first!"

- 2 couples from Canada

"We had too much fun in this fabulous vacation paradise."

- couple, North Carolina

"We are two military families whose men just got home from a year-long deployment to Iraq. This was just what we needed, an uninterrupted week of rest, relaxation, and being together. Having no worries except what beautiful beach to sit on together. THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful home, so beautiful, so comfortable. The location is amazing. We loved having the beach right out the front door! Amazing! Thank you again for helping us have a really fantastic week after a really rough year."

- 2 couples with 2 young kids, Texas. June-July, 2009

"Extraordinary! Exquisite! I'm so relaxed I can barely hold this pen. I have never met kinder more friendly people in my travels. The little ones were as happy as children can ever be. The only difficulty we had was getting them out of the water at the end of the day."

- couple with three children, Sevres, France. July, 2009

"Your house was wonderful and all that we expected. We traveled to every corner of the island and decided the Bahama Breeze was in the best location. We love the people there, everyone is so friendly."

- Family from British Columbia, Canada; February 2010

"Our stay in Rainbow Bay was far quieter than Governors Harbour where we stayed during our last visit. We hope to return as a group for another vacation in the next few years and will definitely be hoping we can book in at the Bahama Breeze. We would do so in a heartbeat!! Thank you again for sharing your lovely villa."

- 6 friends from British Columbia; July 2010

"We stayed one week with our 2 1/2 year old daughter and found out little bit of heaven on earth! The grocery stores all around kept us well supplied and we had many happy meals in this beautiful beach house. We will certainly be back. This is the best the Caribbean has to offer and we are truly in love with Eleuthera, its people, its water, its food and its wonderful feeling of home. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with our family."

- Family from Baltimore; September 2011

"We heard the island sustained a lot of damage in Hurricane Irene. We were relieved to find that Bahama Breeze was in great shape, all the minor damage had been repaired, and the only sign there had been a big storm was that some of the tall palms and pines were topped. This is imply a wonderful place to stay!"

- Two couples from Maine; November 2011
