Perfectly equipped with all appliances. Beautiful and safe location. We were with an active 2-year-old child and at no point was I afraid when my son walked around the neighborhood alone. The host responds to messages immediately and is always helpful. A great place and I recommend it to everyone looking for a place on Eleuthera. ##### Przemek R.

A quiet place on a quiet road, and just a minute walk to probably the best beach on the island. Everything about this home was outstanding. We spent 6 peaceful days here and already have talked about when we will return. James, who handles the rental, was professional, friendly and responsive. A+ all around! ##### randy G.

Right across the street from the best beach we’ve found on the island so far. Firefly type bugs flying around are awesome, other than flies congregating indoors without seemingly any invitation, bugs weren’t a problem. Bunk beds in 3rd bedroom actually suited our 50 year old daughter and her 13 year old daughter just fine! Food prices are very high! Bring your wallet!! Stuff it before you get here! Back up outside grill thankfully made up for seriously dead main grill. Everyone loved our 6 night visit 🏖️👍 ##### Phil R.

The villa was clean, the kitchen had all equipment that we needed, the beds were comfortable, the outdoor sitting area was nice, the laundry room was perfect and the view was incredible. James our property manager responded to our needs quickly. We had power outages the first few days of our stay but we were told that that is a normal occurrence for the Island. Rainbow Bay beach is right in front of the house. It was one of our favorite beaches along with Gauldings Cay beach which was about a 25 minute drive. Rainbow Bay beach has umbrellas and picnic tables along with wonderful swimming and snorkeling right outside your front door. We found 3 convenient grocery stores about 10/15 minutes away from the house in James Cistern and one liquor store. It’s best to bring cash with you because it is difficult to find ATM’s. We found one ATM in Governor’s Harbor which thankfully did work. Places do accept credit but the card readers were down at times. Restaurants are available and all were good but a bit of a drive. We did bring a suitcase full of food based on our last visit to the Bahamas which ended up being a good decision. We found the groceries to be limited and very expensive. This was our first time to Eleuthera and it did not disappoint! We will definitely be back and would not hesitate to stay at Paradise Bahamas Villa again! It was absolutely perfect for our family! ##### Alexander S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula L. 15 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location with sunset view This villa is in a great central location located directly across from the beautiful Rainbow Bay Beach. It’s a great spot for watching sunset and we even went over with our morning coffee. It’s a few steps down the driveway and across a quiet little neighborhood street. The photos don’t really convey how close it is. You can also relax on the front porch and still have a pretty nice view. The villa itself was very neat and clean and in good condition. Rider, the manager was very helpful and responsive when we had questions and a problem with the a/c which turned out that a lizard had crawled into and blocked the drain pipe. We were very happy to have access to a washer and dryer as we try to pack light and the beach towels always need to be washed. There is a large entertainment area separate from the house that is perfect for hanging out in the evening but we didn’t need to use it with just the three of us. The kitchen area seemed to have most everything with the exception of a sharp knife to cut our limes. We ate all of our meals out so only used the kitchen for making coffee and keeping drinks and a few snacks cold. There was plenty of hot water for showers for our crew of three. The drain was running a bit slow in the small bathroom so we all used the master bathroom for showers. We made Rider aware of if so I’m sure that will get cleared up. Wi-fi and cell service was pretty good and we only had one brief power outage. I would definitely recommend this villa. ##### Paula L.

The home had an amazing outside relaxation area, as well as a nice front patio to sip coffee in the morning. The home was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The living area had a large sectional and table where we could hang out together and play cards at night - which besides breakfast was the onlyother time we were at the house! Two things that were not in control of the owner were 1) the people previous must’ve frozen fresh caught seafood as the freezer smelled from it- yuk 2) the oven and microwave were on the fritz, so we only could really use the stove. We made due and it was going to be looked at after we checked out. The host was responsive to questions and the caretaker was pleasant and helpful! We would definitely stay again! I’d actually give 4.5 stars if I could… ![Morning coffee on the front patio.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8871f1bb-96cc-443d-bc57-aeb4041af218-1753665007048.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### rosie w.

The house and the location are beautiful! The property is very well-maintained and clean. We appreciated the comfortable beds and fully-furnished kitchen (a rarity with vacation rentals). The neighborhood feels safe and quiet and has several restaurants and a general store nearby with most of what you'll need. The outdoor shower was great for getting the family rinsed off quickly and there's plenty of space to store beach gear. Rainbow Bay Beach was awesome (we had it to ourselves a couple mornings) and I regret not renting a kayak to explore a bit more. Looking forward to next time! ##### Brandon M.

Modern updated home that owner keeps upgrading. Other homes in Eleuthera have older dated homes. Good communication with owner Mavel and caretaker Freddie. In front of and across the street from Rainbow Bay beach. Nice to come home to a calm cove /sandy beach after a day of exploring the many beaches of Eleuthera. I recommend. ##### Jorge B.

This house gave use everything we could have needed and my family of 6 was able to fit comfortably in this house. While the inside of this house was truly great, the outside was even better. The front yard was filled with beautiful plants and palm trees, it had two little “rooftop”-like platforms where you could sit and watch the sun set, and it even had a place for grilling. This house was just a short walk away from the Rainbow Bay Beach and just a few minute drive from the Rainbow Inn, a great restaurant. This house really provided a nice, “homey” feel for our third vacation in Eleuthera! ##### Greg B. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark D. 23 Apr 2019 #### Perfect Vacation Rental! Paradise Bahamas Villas was the perfect vacation rental. The booking of the rental was great and well communicated with the owner and Freddie. The owner responded to all the question we had. The house is amazing and has all the modern amenities. Everything you need for a great vacation. The location across the street from a sandy beach was a must for our family vacation and was perfect! The views from the front porch and garage roof were the best for morning coffee and early evenings. Rainbow Beach had several picnic tables and palapas for use, along with great snorkeling. A rental car is a must to explore the island from north Harbor Island to south Lighthouse Point. I highly recommend Paradise Bahamas Villas! We will be back! ##### Mark D.

We loved that it was centrally located on the island and just across the street from the beach so we could go back and forth when needed. My girls loved the tide pools on the rocks and all the little fish. We all enjoyed the beach on the calm days and got use out of our floaties then. Water shoes are a good idea. We checked out many of the other beaches on the island and they all have their own charm, including Hidden Beach, directly behind Rainbow Bay on the Atlantic side. If you like to pick beach glass, this is a great spot too. The house itself has a great layout. It has been recently updated and is pretty well maintained by Bahamas standards. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had all the things we needed for our stay. In thinking about our stay, there was nothing we were disappointed with and wouldn't hesitate to book this same house on our next visit to Eleuthera. Ryder who looks after the house was more than friendly, as were many of the other part time residents of Rainbow Bay. Excellent start to our vacation. ##### Andrea M.

The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, and well-equipped. The pictures don't really show it, but there is a nice out door sitting area. When you are looking at the outside of the house, it's the small little building to the left. That is also where the laundry room and the third bathroom is. We loved being so close to the beach. If you need a break from the sun, want to make a sandwich, grab a drink, or need to use the bathroom, just cross the street! So convenient! Every evening I would run down to the beach to watch the sunset. Before coming, we didn't know how this beach compared to other beaches on the island, but after going to four different beaches our group unanimously agreed that the one across the street (Rainbow Beach) was our favorite. The locals that frequent the beach also told us that they like this beach the best. We snorkeled around the little island on the left side and saw starfish and many different types of coral. Stay here. You won't regret it! ##### Kristin H.

It is quiet and restful since the property is not on the Queen's Highway but located in a small community. Groceries are close by but don't expect a major store. The property is beautiful. Whatever you do, don't forget the bug spray! Be sure to make a reservation at the Front Porch. We did have a major problem with a flood from the hot water system in the main house resulting in having no hot water in the house for the week we were there. Fortunately the "gazebo" building on the property had a separate hot water system and a shower (as well as a blessed laundry), so we fared ok except for dishwashing which required heating water up on the stove. The property manager came over pretty quickly but the part had to be ordered in and shipped from the USA and was not there yet by the time we left. There were a few other smaller glitches: the fan didn't work in one room; the screen door was off the track but we got that fixed; none of the knives were sharp. We did leave a detailed list with the property manager and discussed them with him, so hopefully subsequent folks will find these concerns addressed. The owner has offered to discount us when/if we stay again although we would have preferred a rebate of some sort due to the inconvenience with the water. The lighting in the kitchen area was not ideal. Overall it was a comfortable home for the week. It must remembered that you are on an island with limited resources for addressing unexpected maintenance issues. ##### Patricia P.

It has been totally remodeled beautifully! The pictures do not do it justice! It is so beautiful! We have searched the island over to see if there was any place we would rather rent from, and both times have not seen seen a better location and home anywhere! It is so convenient being centrally located. Each day we explored both north and south, but our favorite beach is directly in front of the house. I thought it might be disappointing not being directly on the beach, but it is so close, literally down the driveway, across a non busy road and you're steps from the beach. We fell in love with the new little park/sitting area above the beach, which was our favorite place to sit and watch the sunset every evening. We enjoyed great snorkeling around the cays out from Rainbow beach. We had no issues at all with anything. The beds were so comfortable! This trip we decided to cook most meals in, and had everything needed to do so once we went grocery shopping. WiFi worked great, as we brought our Roku streaming device. My husband likes his vacay to be laying on the couch watching TV, and cooking meals somewhere clean and nice with a good air conditioner, as I occupy myself with what's available close by, like beaching, snorkeling, swimming reading, kayaking, etc. and that's exactly what this place enabled us to do! I regret not renting kayaks ahead of time for our 11 night stay, but will definitely do that next time! The island is so safe and beautiful, and we absolutely loved exploring all the places we didn't get to on our last trip, and there's still places we didn't make it to! Next time we will try to come a few weeks later so we can enjoy the fresh grown pineapples! Thank you SO much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home! We will definitely want to come back, and hopefully we won't wait 8 years! ♥️ ##### Lori H.

Wir konnten direkt gegenüber an den Strand, hatten aber auch eine gute Ausgangsposition, um in den Norden und Süden zu fahren. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter und würden auch gerne wieder kommen. ##### Carina S.
