**Keep in mind that our neighbors Tippy's close for a period of time in September and October. Please call them for details. Tippy's is also next door to our Purple Papaya cottage, therefore you may hear some island vibes and tunes while outside, (this is of course out of our control).**

**Please also keep in mind that Eleuthera is a secluded island, therefore at times the island may shut off the water, as well as internet or electricity. Water pressure can be low as well, but this is all due to being on a secluded island, so please be patient with us. Any of this issues will not result in the guest getting compensated since this is out of our control**

Heaven on earth!
Purple Papaya is ideal for anyone looking for a place for true rest and relaxation. Great host and the location can’t be beat. It sits on a the most gorgeous beach, easy drive to Governors Harbor, and adjacent to Tippy’s restaurant. The house is as advertised: clean, neat, and modern – with a priceless view. I highly recommend the house and host!

Relaxing Paradise
The property was exactly as described and extremely comfortable. My wife and I stayed for 8 nights and had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We explored the entire island, but the beach and snorkeling right off of the property were some of the best that we found. We would love to stay here again someday!!

OUTSTANDING!
This property is awesome! My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights and it was exactly what we needed. The pictures do not do it justice! We hardly even left the house because we had everything we needed and the best beach right outside our doors! We did go to Tippy's for lunch every day...The food was great and the service was excellent . The house was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Any questions we had, were answered right away and the check in process was great. Tarictia was amazing and did everything to make our stay as care free as possible. I can't say enough good things about her or our stay here! We highly recommend this place and are already planning our next trip back . Thanks for sharing this wonderful property with us!

The Ultimate R&R Vacation!
What an amazing getaway! There are not enough words to describe the tranquility and peace this vacation brought to me and my husband. We barely left the house because it had everything we needed. The infinity pool was incredible and as we looked over the edge the ocean was just a few feet away. We walked the beach everyday and many times we were the only people on the beach. I know it sounds crazy but it is true, I can count on one hand how many people we saw the whole week. When we did leave the cottage, it was to eat out. Here are our recommendations... Da Perk - Marina makes the best french toast in the world! 1648 - Ask for Kelly, she is super sweet and attentive. Also, the beet salad is amazing!!! La Bougainvillea - Ask for Cristano, he was awesome and the food is incredible! Frigate's - they have the best cheeseburger and the view is beautiful. I am actually planning two trips back in 2023! A big thank you to Alissa and Carol for your gracious hospitality. Another big thank you to Tarictia and Neddy, we appreciate you both looking out for our every need. I miss you Purple Papaya...Anne & Russ

Backyard Paradise
Outstanding rental property. We travelled all over the island to find great snorkeling but some of the best was right off of our back deck (right behind Tippy's). Great sunsets and sunrises every day from the poolside. Prior to the trip, the owners were great about answering all of our questions as it was our first time in Eleuthera. We can't wait to get back to the Purple Papaya (or the larger house next door if we bring some friends.We would highly recommend this property!

Adventure and relaxation
Went to Eleuthera with my wife for our 21st Anniversary. Great communication with the property from the very beginning. We rented a car from Tarictia and that is definitely the way to go. She was waiting at the airport for us when we landed. It’s about an hour drive to the residence from the N. Eleuthera airport. Tarictia will tell you all about the island on the way there. It’s hard to believe but the accommodation was actually more magnificent than the pictures. We soon realized that this is one of those places that the camera can’t actually capture the beauty of what it’s looking at. Just an FYI that the pool is not heated. Not a big deal, but would be nice for sure in the winter months. Property was clean and well kept. Only thing the kitchen was lacking was an oven. Which we didn’t need as we only used it for breakfast and lunch. We ate at restaurants for dinner, which I recommend. 1648 was our favorite, followed by Tippy’s and Buccaneer club. All of them are good but expensive. The only thing I could possibly say was that at one point the water pressure didn’t work and therefore the toilet wouldn’t flush. I told Tarictia and it was fixed quickly while we were out to dinner. It never happened again. We are already planning our next stay here. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy the beautiful beaches and people of the Bahamas.
