Bahama Mama was amazing!
This is probably the most well stocked house we’ve ever rented! Some of the favorite things were the screened in and outside deck space. The golf carts were super helpful and proximity to beach, pool and town were great! We did have several power outages and were super impressed with the amount of “gear” needed from flashlights to battery operated fans- all very helpful. Loved the exercise equipment (yoga mats,weights,soul cycle). We had a great time and loved this house!

Wonderful place
My family stayed at Bahama Mama in April and we had a great time. The property is fantastic with views of the Caribbean (sunsets) and the Atlantic (sunrise)! Kitchen was well equipped with all we needed. Plenty of towels, beach accessories, snorkel gear, beach chairs etc. The golf carts really helped us access the beach and Pascal’s bar/beach club nearby. Would stay again!

Bahama Mama Eleuthera Vacation
This was by far the best property we have rented in Eleuthera. We've been coming here for several years but this house and location were really outstanding. The house more than accommodated our 8 adults and one child with plenty of room to spare. The house was so well equipped from the kitchen to the game room. There really was nothing we needed during the entire stay. We greatly appreciated how accommodating the house was. We would definitely rent this property again.

Beautiful home. Attentive owner.
We enjoyed our stay in Bahama Mama. There were a few issues of things that needed repairs. Owner responded quickly and effectively. Master BR and bath are superb. Pool and beach are wonderful and deserted.

Amazing Home and Screened Porch
This was our family's first vacation to Eleuthera and we couldn't have picked a better home to rent. Bahama Mama is exactly like the pictures, only better in person. It is decorated in a fun and eclectic decor that highlights the home and the natural beauty of the outdoors. The beds and pillows were super comfortable (we even searched for tags on the pillows but to no avail), ample storage and lovely furnishings throughout. We have stayed at many, many vacations homes over the years and this is at the top. I refer to Bahama Mana like I do Wegman's grocery store - if they don't have it, I don't need it. There were plenty of chairs, rafts, floats, coolers, umbrellas, towels, candles, matches, etc. Basically, everything you could need or want. The owner was fabulous when we had a few questions, as were Linda (house manager) and her daughter. We felt so taken care of! The outside shower was divine and great to shower before coming inside. We took golf cart rides, at at the near-by Sky Club (food was excellent, staff super nice - a little pricey but so convenient). the beach is spectacular, the pool is huge and clean. Honestly, it was one of the best homes we have ever rented and it's obvious the owner considers this a home and not just a vacation rental. The kitchen was very well appointed, with enough pots, pans dishes, silverware and glasses to feed an army. Oh, and the two dishwashers are genius - one for each kid to be in charge of - no more arguments - they each had one :) The screen porch deserves its own paragraph because it was that delightful. Furniture was super comfy (new outdoor lounge chairs were delivered when we were there - so the owner definitely keeps everything in excellent working condition) and we all loved the "sleeping corner". We read, ate, napped, played games and loved the breeze. We initially picked this home for the porch and it did not disappoint. Oh, and Eleuthera is pretty sweet too! Definitely hit the food truck in front of Burrow's Grocery store (the store was also well stocked ) for breakfast on your way to the beaches. The burrito was awesome, as were the smoothies and pancakes, and prices are very good. I wish we had thought to do this sooner - they also have lunch. I believe the owner operates when her children are in school so open something like 8:30-3:00. You won't be disappointed We booked already for next year and added more days because it's that good.

Amazing property!
We absolutely loved Bahama Mama! We were ten people altogether and the house couldn't have been more perfect. The location is stunning with gorgeous water views in every direction. The house is so well equipped with everything anyone would want or need while on vacation. The owner and property manager were incredibly helpful and responsive to our every request. Eleuthera is a magical place....we would highly recommend Bahama Mama and Eleuthera to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful vacation in a stunning location.

Great house with very little to desire
We had 3 generations sharing this house the youngest were 2 grandsons, one 4 the other 2. everyone had privacy with the exception of a single issue. We were urged to shower outdoors for the sake of the septic infrastructure which we were very sensitive to. We wanted to respect the owner's wishes but found the outdoor shower challenging because it offered no privacy due to its lack of a door. I would return if a door were installed, other than that great place.

Beautiful beach house overlooking the Atlantic
This was a great home for our large family of 6 with 4 small children. Grandparents accompanied us as well. The large tables, both inside and outside, were perfect for large family dinners. The house is fully equipped from beach towels & beach gear to spices and most kitchen basics. The decor is nice. The views are amazing from all sides of the home. There are 2 gulf carts to use and next door is Pascal's restaurant with a poolside bar, very convenient.
