WELCOME TO the Sayle Point House - Private Beach and Private Cay

We stayed at this property on our first trip to Eleuthera. We did not know much about the area, the location or even the island. However we walked away absolutely in love with everything about it, especially Syale Point. Not to mention the incredible owners who helped us in a pinch. Property is good for kids that are self-sufficient and can swim since the beach and splash pool or within walking distance. Bonus: Runners will love this place! The streets in the neighborhood are safe with very little traffic. It’s easy to get anywhere from 4 to 6 miles in without having to be on a major road. As far as the inside of the property, plenty of rooms for people to be comfortable, no issues with the number of bathrooms and all of the furniture is clean and comfortable. If you do plan the rent the extra unit up stairs, you’ll be happy you did. The views are even better and it’s a nice sanctuary to find some peace and quiet. Now for the location. You will need a car if you plan to rent this property. You’re centrally located and about an hour from the airport. There are towns and restaurants within a couple minutes drive from the property. No problem at all getting around. Date of arrival – March 23, 2024

A beautiful property perfect for my family. The interior is so tasteful, outside is breathtaking.

We had an excellent time. Laurie and Elvis were both great. The location can’t be beat and the house itself is magnificent – every detail is well thought out. My daughter wanted to live there and I don’t blame her. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

The property is beautiful and comfortable. An amazing setting.

It was great to be able to have the sailboat so close. Minor things…we wished there had been a hairdryer. We were unable to find a “church key” in the kitchen. There were not back-ups for paper supplies (toilet paper). It was very hard to get things in and out of the dryer. Needed a small child! We found Elvis very helpful. My daughter and her family stayed an extra day – and we’re expected to vacate much earlier than they thought. The pool was a wonderful bonus! None of these minor things kept it from being a very positive experience. Thank you!

Idyllic setting. A piece of paradise….

Had an amazing holiday in this delightful holiday home. Elvis was great and on hand. Beach and plunge pool were perfect. House had all mod cons and beds were comfortable. Beautiful island to explore and stunning beaches. Hope to revisit at some point.

FABULOUS!

The house and the location can’t be beat! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. When we rent a house again on Eleuthera, this will always be our choice!

Location location location

Perfect central Island location. Gorgeous home with acres of property. Private and peaceful. Loved listening to the waves outside our bed room sliding doors while falling asleep. We loved swimming, snorkeling, kayaking right outside our door. Great deck for sunbathing or reading. Small plunge pool perfect for an afternoon dip. Inside amenities and spacious rooms had everything we needed. Can’t say enough great things about this home. Elvis the local contact was there for us if we had questions or needs. Central Island location was perfect for getting to places for dining and to explore what the island has to offer. The private beach out front and grounds with caribbean sea views from every room made this the ideal location and home for us as we came to Eleuthera for privacy, quiet, relaxation and warm weather after escaping the polar vortex and stress of work back home. One of the best vacations we have ever had. We will return for sure if this treasure is available. My fear is that it will become so popular that we will not be able to rent it for a future trip to this island. Laurie is an excellent host. We felt her attention to detail the minute we walked in the house. Wish we were still there!

Privacy and stunning views for ultimate relaxation – truly paradise!

I just returned from a 4-night stay at Sayle Point House with two of my best friends. We wanted privacy and complete relaxation to soak up the sun and oceanfront views, while celebrating our 40th birthdays and over 20 years of friendship. We got EVERYTHING we wanted and more! I cannot count the number of times we exclaimed how surreal it was to be surrounded by such beauty. The house was lovely, clean and fully-equipped. The property was well-maintained and it’s obvious there was a lot of thought put into creating comfortable spaces to lounge in the sun and to take in the ocean views. The pool was an added bonus we enjoyed very much. We had an impromptu dance party on the deck which you can do when you have that much privacy and great outside speakers! We are thankful for Elvis and his patience and assistance with our questions and needs. We would highly recommend renting a car, we rented from Elliott at Big E’s. If you’re not used to driving on the left side, Eleuthera is a great place to try it as there is one main highway and no major intersections. We found delicious produce at Hearty Mow Farmland U-pick Farmstand, groceries at Triple TLC, and local Bahamian beer, Kalik Radler Mango and Sands Pink Radler, from a local liquor store in Hatchett Bay, a short drive from Rainbow Bay. We purchased high-quality liquor duty-free in the airport on our way – highly recommend! We ate out twice, once for dinner at Rainbow Inn on pizza night (pricey!) and once for breakfast at Cravings Bake Shop (Very reasonably priced). Both were very good! Plan to bring some Skin-so-Soft, or whatever you use for “no-see-ums”, which were our only complaint, if you can even call it a complaint. Pack some water shoes so you can walk out into the crystal clear water to see stingrays, crabs, sand dollars, and other sea creatures up close. I honestly could keep writing about our experience, but suffice it to say, I wholeheartedly recommend this property, and am already planning my next trip.

Paradise Found

I could not have found a more perfect place to stay for my vacation. The property was perfect. Very private and had everything you needed, from a private beach, to a lovely wading pool and lawn to play corn hole, hammocks on the beach to relax and plenty of places to soak up the sun and read your favorite book. The views were perfect you didn’t even need to leave the property and there were a few days we did not. Elvis the property manager was professional and curteous and was just great. The house was comfortable and well equipped. I’m hoping to come back soon. My only complaint was the cleaning lady came at 7:30 a.m. on the day I was planning on leaving. Since check out is noon I felt this rushed me out of the house and it was a little uncomfortable. I was still in my Pajamas making a cup of tea. Highly recommend if you are looking for your own slice of paradise on a quiet and private location.

Paradise

Surrounded by turquoise blue waters you can only find in the Bahamas, Sayle Point House is truly a slice of paradise. The home is very private yet close to all amenities including Governors Harbour Airport, several restaurants, (Tippy’s, Rainbow Inn and Leo Rose were our favorites) grocery stores (Big Rock 5 mins away), an amazing bakery called Cravings and a ton natural attractions. (Queens Bath a must see) The house is beautifully appointed with close attention made to detail. We wanted for nothing. Quality appliances and utensils made it easy and enjoyable to cook meals in. Sayle Point House offers loads of activities to ensure fun is had by all. You have access to your own private beach complete with a tiki bar! Activities include a pool, volley ball net, corn hole, kayaks , books, games, fishing poles, snorkel gear and pool toys/floats. If relaxing and reading a book is your idea of a holiday, then swinging in the hammock as you listen to waves crashing against the coral walls is always an option. All the rooms in the house are spacious, bright and breezy. You have panoramic views of the ocean from every window. There is a large comfy sofa and a big screen TV (Satalite/Internet has strong signal) in the living room attached to the kitchen. The linens are good quality, the beds cozy and there is A/C and ceiling fans in each room to keep you cool at night. Although the breeze from the ocean was lovely too. Eleuthra is a gorgeous, largely unspoiled island that is easy to navigate as there is only one main road end to end. You will need to rent a car to travel around. You can catch a water taxi from Gun Point Marina, North Eleuthra (approx 40 mins from Sayle Point) to Harbour Island for the day, ($5 each way) From Harbour Island you can also catch a ferry to Spanish Wells. This was truly a holiday to remember. Thank you to our gracious hosts for sharing their beautiful home. We will always remember our time in Eleuthra at Sayle Point House and hope to return one day soon! John and Laura James Ontario, Canada

Lovely Property

We had a great time at Sayle Point. It’s best for groups/families as it is pretty remote. We enjoyed the tiki bar and pool. A few things to note: there is absolutely no shade in the back after about 1/2 pm which makes it unpleasantly hot. We could see there is a spot for an awning and I saw one in the pictures on the website so I’m not sure why there isn’t any shade. Also, the ac in the front bedroom didn’t work. We weren’t particularly fans of the cleaning lady showing up on our last day at 8 am and essentially staring at us while we tried to enjoy the house for our remaining hours. We had to ask her to please leave the porch so we could take pictures. It was awkward and uncomfortable. Other than that, we really enjoyed the property. It is a lovely place and I would recommend it if you’re looking for privacy and to just hang out.

Your very own private paradise!

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing this home and it’s location is, it’s truly paradise! The owners have thought of everything that anyone could ever ask for in a vacation. The location of this property is beyond PERFECT! You have your own private beach with a small island to explore in and out of the water. When the wind is blowing, the water on one side of the island has waves that crash into the rock and the other side, which is most visible from the home, is calm and serene. We loved the contrast, you felt like you had two different bodies of water in front of you! In addition to the amazing water and views, the deck and the pool were fabulous! The owners recently purchased several large umbrellas that you could use for shade if the sun was too much for you. The pool is deeper and larger than it looks in the photos, we spent many hours having fun in it. The yard games (cornhole, spike ball, etc) were great on the days we just lounged around at the home…which was most as it’s a hard place to leave! The home itself, is straight out of a travel magazine! Floor to ceiling views from EVERY SINGLE ROOM in the house. A/C works great, furniture was very comfortable. You will easily feel at home the second you walk in the door! Eleuthera is a quite island, there aren’t a ton of tours but you can definitely find things to do if you want to venture out. We went on a boating excursion with Spanish Wells Ocean Safaris which we highly recommend! You tell them what you want to do and they make it happen. We spent a day on Harbour Island, driving a golf cart around and horseback riding on the beach. Took a few drives to places like Lighthouse Beach and Preacher’s Cave as well! Don’t miss the Fish Fry in Governors Harbour Friday nights, so much fun! The restaurants were always good, great views & fresh seafood ! Hours can be tricky, do your homework, a few we wanted to try were closed days we visited. We enjoyed the Rainbow Room (close, has take out and 1/2 off Tuesday nights), Mel’s Snack Shack (nothing fancy but a good quick eat) Buccaneer Club, Fishbone in Savannah Sound (tricky to find but worth it) Frigate’s in Rock Sound, Unca Gene’s in Greg Town and New Sunset Inn. Only complaint is that we couldn’t stay here longer, we had the most amazing vacation and hope to return! If you’re looking for a place to get away from work, the city, etc. there is no better home or location . Just go, best decision ever!

Beautiful place!!!

Breath taking views and home, we absolutely loved this place Elvis was really nice , Awesome place to go snorkel my husband even got lots of lobsters for dinner and he catch them all right in front of the property , The home was very cozy Love that they had Netflix and Amazon prime on TV We watched a lot of movies at night . The small ( cons ) dishwasher Worked fine but didn’t clean the dishes So I had to start washing everything by hand every day , and a couple times later afternoon people that came to the beach would climb the rocks in front of the property to jump in the water knowing it was private property I had to go talk to them a couple times , Other than that everything was perfect I would go back in a heartbeat thanks again for sharing this property with as!!!!

Absolutely fantastic!

Everything was great! If you are looking for privacy and relaxation, this is the place! Tall ceilings and endless views from every room in the house. The bridge to the island is great as well. We spent many mornings on that island watching the sun rise while drinking our coffee. In the evening, we sat in the hammocks and watched the sun set.

Wonderful week

This is an amazing property that just needs a little TLC. The location is one of the best we have ever stayed in.

Amazing place

This property was absolutely amazing. Love that it is centrally located on Eleuthera because you can get to many “tourist” places on the island in under 45 minutes… with that being said, you never need to leave this property if you don’t want to. I also highly recommend snorkeling around this property if you enjoy to snorkel. The house keeper Elvis was also very helpful!!

50th Birthday(s) in Paradise!

I don’t usually take the time to review a property but I feel compelled to do so for this special location. Our group of six adults stayed for five nights in late January. The property was very clean, in working order and stocked with everything you need inside and out for a great vacation. The house is somewhat remote but was perfect for our needs– there was something for everyone to do in the expansive outdoor space– snorkeling, kayaking, cornhole, hammocks, swimming, a gorgeous beach and an amazing tiki bar! We saw tons of fish, rays, starfish, sand dollars, an octopus and had a visit from a dolphin on our last morning. Elvis was very responsive as was the homeowner. We did not take advantage of the option to have meals cooked for us but it was available. Don’t miss Leo Rose restaurant down the road in James Cistern– it sits on the beach and has a very cool vibe! Take out pizza from The Rainbow Room one mile down the road was also a nice option. HIGHLY recommend TyMan Fishing Charter & Adventures out of Spanish Wells (50 min away) for day excursion and fishing. 1-242-464–0592. Pack light– this is a casual island. Property is 45 minutes from North Eleuthera airport, 30 min from Governor’s Harbour. We rented a car but next time would make arrangements with Elvis. Highly recommend if you are looking for a laid back trip!

Better Than The Pictures

Easy check-in and out led to a stress free stay. The property is more beautiful than the pictures can capture. Hope we can stay again sometime.

Perfect getaway

Sayle House is ideal to get away from it all and be completely secluded.

Our family LOVED Sayle Point House! Sayle point House is centrally located, which makes it it super convenient to travel north or south on the island and you’ll definitely want to explore all the beaches and sites of Eleuthera! The house has everything imaginable that you will need. We loved snorkeling right in front of the house, exploring the private island, kayaking, playing volleyball and corn hole and the pool was great! We brought teens and they were thoroughly entertained while at the house. The home is not only beautiful, but comfortable! Eleuthera was our family’s best adventure yet and I highly recommend Sayle Point House! We will definitely be back!

HEAVENLY

What a great place to to totally relax, enjoy the peace and quiet while forgetting what is going on in our crazy world! Pool, beach and snorkeling right in your back yard. Beautiful sunsets! Only thing I missed was having a shady place out back to sit and read my book. A lot of the days were too windy for the umbrellas. Looking forward to returning next year😎. Bill & Nancy – Decatur, IL

Excellent experience. Can’t wait to go back. Better than you expect !!

Overall excellent experience from check in to check out.

Beautiful

Paradise found

This place is absolutely incredible – the views from all directions, direct access to the Caribbean out your back door for swimming or snorkeling, the beach, pool, and tiki hut- it is truly paradise. Something I wish we had planned for before traveling to the Bahamas was how expensive everything would be- food, toiletries, paper products etc. So heed the owners recommendation to pack toilet paper and even a paper towel roll and napkins. But even with the cost of things being high, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. We did very little around the island because we had so much to entertain us right on the property. It truly was the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

We definitely plan on returning!

This was our first time in Eleuthera, and it did not disappoint, and the house was incredible! We wholeheartedly recommend this house. AC was cool, pool was refreshing, and the little beach is amazing.

Perfectly Paradise

Upon the quick and easy check-in, we immediately felt relaxed. The pics online do not do the actual views justice. The house is stocked with absolutely everything you would need to be comfortable. We cooked many meals and ate out a few as well. We brought our own snorkel gear and saw beautiful fish and shells. The property did not disappoint and Joesph and Evelyn were very helpful!!

Island paradise

Sayle point is your own little island escape! Amazing views all around!

Paradise

We had the most incredible time at sayle point house. The water was incredible. We snorkeled every day. House had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. Will absolutely be back.

Stale Point House

Fantastic property in a great location. The home has many modern furnishings, and the caretakers do a wonderful job helping out as needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful, beautiful and relaxing

The property is perfect for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting.

Memorable Location!

We very much enjoyed our week-plus stay at Sayle Point. The way the house is situated facing north towards Rainbow Bay rewards you with a breathtaking view that you never tire of especially when the water is calm (as it usually is) and the warm sun brilliantly highlights the coral blue color of the water and the crystal white sand below. The deck you see in the photos is by far the best “room” in the house – day or night. Sayle Point is reasonably situated to go north or south for activities, but keep in mind the island is rural so it does take some time to get to places. Our housekeeper was attentive. We comfortably survived the winds/rains of Tropical Storm Nicole. The house itself is quite comfortable and roomy. Like any other Vrbo rental, there were a few small things we’d recommend the owner should address but overall, none of those things takes away from the 5.0 scores we gave for this property especially when you compare it to other rental properties on Eleuthra. Again, the view from the back deck was wicked awesome and etched in our minds forever!

Piece of Paradise

Our stay at Sayle Point in Rainbow Bay was incredible. The views from all rooms in the house were spectacular! The tiki bar was a fun place to hang out at, the kayaks were perfect for snorkeling and the back porch with pool a great place to relax. Our stay was excellent and we will be back as long as it is available. Some advice to others who visit, bring paper products, playing cards, and a flyswatter, and no need to bring beach towels, spices, or fins/mask. The kitchen is great for preparing meals and has everything you need. Our family had a great stay!

Great location in paradise!

This home is really special. We loved the seclusion but close proximity to stores and restaurants.

Our 1st time to Eleuthera. The house was lovely. Everything you could ask for. Beautiful water right out the front door and a comfortable house with so many options. Kayaks, floaties, and even speakers outside! What a delightful week. Joseph took very good care of us even cleaned the grill when we told him it wasn’t necessary we could do it! I’m so glad Matt and Laurie shared their home with us!

Incredible

If you are considering Eleuthera and this place is on your radar just do it already. Never have we ever enjoyed such a beautiful, vast and private property. Want to enjoy some sun by the pool? Ok. Or how about a walk out on Rainbow Cay? Just protect your feet! The best part was the private beach with gentle ocean access and a HUGE shaded area to retreat if the sun gets to be too much. The central location is great to explore the entire island but to be honest, we only left a handful of times. Sunsets (every night) from anywhere on the property were incredible. Even on the windiest days you could find a peaceful place on the beach shielded from the Atlantic winds. And the color of the water? It felt like a dream. We are already talking about when we can visit this paradise again!

Fun on Rainbow Bay

Beautiful home in an amazing location. The coral gardens on the Cay are some on the healthiest I’ve seen on island. Floating in the shallow “mermaid pool” off the private beach is so relaxing. Saw many fish just kayaking around the area. And great sunsets😁❤️

Another FANTASTIC stay at Sayle House! You really can’t beat the location. Central to everything. The house itself and vistas are stunning. Everything you could want AND more. Thank you Matt & Laurie for your gracious hospitality. Until next time!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sayle Point house in Eleuthera Bahamas! The pics online were amazing, but I can assure you it is even more beautiful in person. Incredibly private and relaxing location. Fantastic views and such a great location to snorkel, lounge in the beautiful water, hike the connected island or just relax in the seaside hammocks! The beach has a great Tiki hut, the pool was a great place to cool off as well. The island was easy to navigate – we thought roads were in good shape and having a rental Jeep made it really fun to explore all the beaches … which you have almost to yourselves regardless of where you go! No street lights and very few signs, but Waze works to help navigate the island. Food is a bit expensive around the little seaside shacks, but worth it for fresh fish, conch and lobster daily. Plenty of nearby little markets for soda, water and dry goods. We’ll be back for sure to visit and bring Family …. Would suggest freezing and bringing any meat you might want to grill. Otherwise this is one of the best locations we have ever stayed. The house is fully equipped with anything you need and best of all is just private luxury!! Thanks so much to the owners for sharing this location!

Wow bucket list complete! Fabulous family vacation at Laurie amazing property! Amazing biodiversity on the reefs and for a person like me that has several reef aquariums back home it was a dream come true. The reefs were pristine and untouched. At the end of the property at the deep water reef there was a gigantic underwater Venus sea fan garden with gigantic tangs, magnificent butterfly fish, sting rays, puffers and etc reef fish and large coral formations. I was really amazed to see coral and happy to see that coral is making a comeback to the Bahamas after bleaching events due to global warming. The small reef off the beach had a wonderful macro algae garden with Venus sea fans and corals. Amazed to see porites coral with Christmas tree worms and coco worms and feather dusters in the wild. Large Nassau grouper and tangs and colorful wrasse and even a cute puffer were there. There was a large blue cow fish that followed me and was curious. So cute! The beach was private and water so clear and blue as the sky. The house was beautiful and gave you a 360 degree of the reefs and ocean. We took great care of her home while we were there. Laurie was a great communicator and her caretaker Joseph was helpful. The only negative thing I could say was the noseeums. Even though we used bug spray they bit us bad! Only thing that seemed to work was skin so soft. Keep the doors closed so they don’t get in and don’t go out after dusk without bug spray. We also had some loss of electricity but eventually came back on. That’s Island life though. We were really sad to leave and could have stayed longer. We want to come back again in the future if her home is available. Thank you for allowing our family to come to your beautiful home and fabulous property. Really a dream come true. 

We had an amazing vacation at the Sayle Point House. The location and the house were absolutely perfect. Staying here provided us with everything we were looking with our trip to Eleuthera. The ocean views and tremendous colors were a highlight with this stay. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing property in the best location on Eleuthera! If you are looking for privacy & all the amenities you could ever want or need then this is the place!! Between the private beach, pool, tiki bar, kayaks, protected cove with a reef to snorkel & an abundance of tropical fish, starfish & sand dollars you never need to leave the property…you have it all right there! it’s like having a private beach resort to yourself. Caretakers Evelyn & Joseph are the sweetest & were always there to help if we needed them. Laurie was super & very quick to respond every time i reached out to her. I can’t say enough good things about this truly unique piece of heaven on earth. we will definitely be coming back!

What a wonderful way to bring in the new year! This was one of our most memorable family vacations so far. Everything was just lovely! We spent our days relaxing by the pool as the kids played in the yard. It was so much fun exploring the private island, kayaking and snorkeling around the reef. We enjoyed the tiki hut to the fullest and roasted marshmallows several nights at the fire pit. Eleuthera has so many beautiful places to explore and we can’t wait to come back!

I can’t say enough good things about the house, location and experience with Laurie and Matt at Sayle Point House. Us, and another couple, had originally booked the house at the end of May but due to COVID19 and Bahamas restrictions we had to move to a new week in August. Laurie had no issues with working with us on finding that new week and even helped us organize flights over to the island as commercial flights were sparse and constantly getting cancelled. When we arrived to the island on a Saturday, Eleuthera was on a two week lockdown and we were unable to stop by the grocery stores to get food since they were closed till Monday. Elvis, the house watcher, had already stocked the fridge and house with food to get us through till Monday. Due to the lockdown we were a little disappointed about spending all our time at the house, as we love to explore the island. But man were we pleasantly surprised! The house is everything you could possibly want and more. The snorkeling is great around the island and around the cliffs to the left of Rainbow Bay. The pool was amazing in the evening when you had too much salt and the outdoor speakers were the perfect mood setter. The kitchen and house had everything you would want to feel at home. The house had cornhole, cards, floats, beach chairs, beach towels and everything else you need to make a day of it. This is the perfect house for two or three couples or even two families with kids as the beach is literally right outside of your door. In addition, the house is centrally located on the island with two great grocery stores within 10 minutes of driving. I can’t say enough good things about our trip and dealings with Matt & Laurie. We are counting down the days till we are able to get back

Easy check-in and out led to a stress free stay. The property is more beautiful than the pictures can capture. Hope we can stay again sometime.

We were so excited to stay at this home from the moment we saw the pictures online but we were still blown away when we actually saw it in person. The views are absolutely breathtaking! Laurie was wonderful to work with and Elvis was an absolute gem. The house was very clean with comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed. We could see both the sunrise and sunset from the back porch, there was a private beach and wonderful snorkeling right outside our back door. We couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else in Eleuthera! Will definitely be back!   “Thank you Laurie for a wonderful stay! Your home is absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t get over the incredible views. We will definitely back be back to Eleuthera and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.”

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing this home and it’s location is, it’s truly paradise! The owners have thought of everything that anyone could ever ask for in a vacation.

You will easily feel at home the second you walk in the door! Eleuthera is a quite island, there aren’t a ton of tours but you can definitely find things to do if you want to venture out. We went on a boating excursion with Spanish Wells Ocean Safaris which we highly recommend! You tell them what you want to do and they make it happen. We spent a day on Harbour Island, driving a golf cart around and horseback riding on the beach. Took a few drives to places like Lighthouse Beach and Preacher’s Cave as well! Don’t miss the Fish Fry in Governors Harbour Friday nights, so much fun! The restaurants were always good, great views & fresh seafood ! Hours can be tricky, do your homework, a few we wanted to try were closed days we visited. We enjoyed the Rainbow Room (close, has take out and 1/2 off Tuesday nights), Mel’s Snack Shack (nothing fancy but a good quick eat) Buccaneer Club, Fishbone in Savannah Sound (tricky to find but worth it) Frigate’s in Rock Sound, Unca Gene’s in Greg Town and New Sunset Inn. Only complaint is that we couldn’t stay here longer, we had the most amazing vacation and hope to return! If you’re looking for a place to get away from work, the city, etc. there is no better home or location . Just go, best decision ever!

The linens are good quality, the beds cozy and there is A/C and ceiling fans in each room to keep you cool at night. Although the breeze from the ocean was lovely too. Eleuthra is a gorgeous, largely unspoiled island that is easy to navigate as there is only one main road end to end. You will need to rent a car to travel around. You can catch a water taxi from Gun Point Marina, North Eleuthra (approx 40 mins from Sayle Point) to Harbour Island for the day, ($5 each way) From Harbour Island you can also catch a ferry to Spanish Wells. This was truly a holiday to remember. Thank you to our gracious hosts for sharing their beautiful home. We will always remember our time in Eleuthra at Sayle Point House and hope to return one day soon! John and Laura James Ontario, Canada

I just returned from a 4-night stay at Sayle Point House with two of my best friends. We wanted privacy and complete relaxation to soak up the sun and oceanfront views, while celebrating our 40th birthdays and over 20 years of friendship. We got EVERYTHING we wanted and more! I cannot count the number of times we exclaimed how surreal it was to be surrounded by such beauty. The house was lovely, clean and fully-equipped. The property was well-maintained and it’s obvious there was a lot of thought put into creating comfortable spaces to lounge in the sun and to take in the ocean views. The pool was an added bonus we enjoyed very much. We had an impromptu dance party on the deck which you can do when you have that much privacy and great outside speakers! We are thankful for Elvis and his patience and assistance with our questions and needs. We would highly recommend renting a car, we rented from Elliott at Big E’s. If you’re not used to driving on the left side, Eleuthera is a great place to try it as there is one main highway and no major intersections. We found delicious produce at Hearty Mow Farmland U-pick Farmstand, groceries at Triple TLC, and local Bahamian beer, Kalik Radler Mango and Sands Pink Radler, from a local liquor store in Hatchett Bay, a short drive from Rainbow Bay. We purchased high-quality liquor duty-free in the airport on our way – highly recommend! We ate out twice, once for dinner at Rainbow Inn on pizza night (pricey!) and once for breakfast at Cravings Bake Shop (Very reasonably priced). Both were very good! Plan to bring some Skin-so-Soft, or whatever you use for “no-see-ums”, which were our only complaint, if you can even call it a complaint. Pack some water shoes so you can walk out into the crystal clear water to see stingrays, crabs, sand dollars, and other sea creatures up close. I honestly could keep writing about our experience, but suffice it to say, I wholeheartedly recommend this property, and am already planning my next trip.

Perfect central Island location. Gorgeous home with acres of property. Private and peaceful. Loved listening to the waves outside our bed room sliding doors while falling asleep. We loved swimming, snorkeling, kayaking right outside our door. Great deck for sunbathing or reading. Small plunge pool perfect for an afternoon dip. Inside amenities and spacious rooms had everything we needed. Can’t say enough great things about this home. Elvis the local contact was there for us if we had questions or needs. Central Island location was perfect for getting to places for dining and to explore what the island has to offer. The private beach out front and grounds with caribbean sea views from every room made this the ideal location and home for us as we came to Eleuthera for privacy, quiet, relaxation and warm weather after escaping the polar vortex and stress of work back home. One of the best vacations we have ever had. We will return for sure if this treasure is available. My fear is that it will become so popular that we will not be able to rent it for a future trip to this island. Laurie is an excellent host. We felt her attention to detail the minute we walked in the house. Wish we were still there!

“We had a wonderful stay in this amazing house where everything is perfect, from the space, decoration, the location and the stunning views at all times of the day. We felt we were in a little piece of paradise. Thank you again Laurie for your reactivity and Elvis for your availability. We just loved it and I encourage everyone to book this incredible place ! Thank you again !”

5 STARS! Just stayed a week at Sayle Point….where do I start? The views and seclusion were amazing. Water from 3 sides of the house was spectacular. House was trendy, clean and well kept! The folks at Sayle Point have a caretaker by the name of ELVIS. I cannot rave enough how much of a gem he is. He is honest, caring, knowledgable and takes great care of the guests. The owners are so fortunate to have such a great man tending their home. The snorkeling on the property is great, we found tons of sand dollars and even found 2 starfish. The sunsets are breathtaking! We had a blast kayaking in the evenings. This place is the perfect getaway if you want seclusion and relaxation! Thank you, Matt and Laurie! We are already talking about coming back.

The house and the location can’t be beat! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. When we rent a house again on Eleuthera, this will always be our choice!

Had an amazing holiday in this delightful holiday home. Elvis was great and on hand. Beach and plunge pool were perfect. House had all mod cons and beds were comfortable. Beautiful island to explore and stunning beaches. Hope to revisit at some point.

It was great to be able to have the sailboat so close. Minor things…we wished there had been a hairdryer. We were unable to find a “church key” in the kitchen. There were not back-ups for paper supplies (toilet paper). It was very hard to get things in and out of the dryer. Needed a small child! We found Elvis very helpful. My daughter and her family stayed an extra day – and we’re expected to vacate much earlier than they thought. The pool was a wonderful bonus! None of these minor things kept it from being a very positive experience. Thank you!

We had an excellent time. Laurie and Elvis were both great. The location can’t be beat and the house itself is magnificent – every detail is well thought out. My daughter wanted to live there and I don’t blame her. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

“If you are wanting to unplug, relax and have access to an amazing beach right outside your door, with a comfortable house… this is a perfect home. We loved our time here. Amazing swimming and snorkeling, semi-private beach, convenient to Governor’s Harbour and North Eleuthera airports. Clean house, satellite TV, well-equipped kitchen, as advertised… but pictures cannot properly give justice to the beach and water, it is better in person.”

Hi Laurie, All perfect. The house is great and the location i believe the best in the island. We are planning to return next year. Thanks and best regards

We couldn’t ask more. An amazing villa in a special location by the sea. The house is decorated with excellent taste and every furniture and details is just gorgeous. We got surprise day by day discovering all the attention and care put by Laurie and the housekeeper Elvis to arrange all necessary.Easy access to the beach, kitchen fully equipped, high quality kitchen and bath supplies. We really had the feeling we were at home. Never felt something was missing. Each corner has amazing view of the beach and we spent a lot of time on the terrace and in the garden to enjoy the most our stay. We couldn’t ask for more and we truly thank Laurie for all her support.
