We were a group of 5 senior women spending a week in Parley at Sunset. Beautiful house, looked like the photos in the listing. The setting is great. We spent a lot of time in the water - you do NEED water shoes as there are some rocks and lots of shells which you want protection for. It's a great place if you're into shelling, as there are lots of them. The kitchen was ultra stocked in kitchenware and there were lots of towels, snorkling equipment, extra water shoes, but sprays, etc. The Bahama Room was by far the best room of the house. I would highly recommend this home for a vacation you won't want to leave.

A Perfect Escape!
**Parkay at Sunset - A Perfect Escape!**This was our second stay at Parlay at Sunset, and it was every bit as amazing as the first. The house is perfectly situated with a beach right in the backyard, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling, critter hunting at night, or simply relaxing by the water. The sunsets here are nothing short of magical – the view of the water almost looks like liquid glass.The property is well-equipped with everything you need. The generator is a AWESOME feature, ensuring we never had to worry about power. The house was spotless, and Diana and Charles were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay.It’s conveniently located near a large grocery store in Rock Sound, and a smaller one in Tarpum Bay, so stocking up on essentials is easy. Plus, the dock is a great spot for fresh fish—perfect for cooking up a meal in the fully stocked kitchen, which had everything we needed to cook at home.It’s just a short 30-minute drive to Pascal's, where you can enjoy a swim-up pool bar and a beautiful beach – we visited multiple times during our trip. And definitely don’t miss the stargazing at night – it’s truly mind-blowing!Before you leave, be sure to pick up a straw hat from Stevie in Tarpum Bay—it's a perfect souvenir.The South Side of Eleuthera has so much to offer, and this property is a perfect base to explore it all. Highly recommend! We will be booking again next summer!

Nice Place
Nice, big home steps from the beach. Very clean. Had everything we needed including beach towels and gear. Never had a chance to snorkel at the house but there are many opportunities around the island to snorkel.There were only 4 of us in the house so we had plenty of space to spread out. The caretaker, although we never met him, was very helpful.Make sure you know how to use WhatsApp as it is widely used on the island. very helpful.

Great stay in Tarpum Bay
We absolutely loved our stay at Parlay at Sunset! The house was great! Loved the layout, the recent updates and amenities in the house. The beach is great! It’s better at high tide when the rocks are covered as you walk in but once you get past them, it is smooth and beautiful! You can walk out pretty far before it even touches your waist. The sunsets there are gorgeous! Definitely take bug spray though! The little “no see ‘ems” are all over the island at night. I’ve stayed at a few places and always had them. Any issues we had with the house were promptly taken care of by the house manager, Charles, or the house owner, Diana. I appreciate both of them for their prompt responses and follow up communication. We used several vendors the house owner recommended and I am so glad we did. All were wonderful! I would definitely stay here again!

Me and my family (9 in all) visited Parlay at Sunset for a week and everything was amazing! Diana provides so much good information before your stay and it was all very helpful. Check in was easy and communication with Diana and the property manager Charles was always prompt. The house is upgraded and has everything you could need. We had 9 adults but the house still felt spacious and open and never cramped. The beach is awesome and everything you could want. Sprawling powdery sand with lots of lounge chairs, tables and shade under the gazebo. The swimming area is pristine with a mix of rock and sand in various layers which made it nice for swimming and for snorkeling. We saw a few rays, lobster, fish, conch, jellyfish, squid, starfish, etc, it was magical. We also happened to be there during Homecoming so we met so many nice people in Tarpum Bay and Rock Sound. Can't wait to go back!

Grateful for Parlay at Sunset
Few properties anticipate vacationers' needs as thoroughly as this one. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beach area was like a mini resort, the property manager was available to us and handled any issues quickly, its proximity to Tarpum Bay helped us meet wonderful people and get fresh fish, lobster, and conch salad, and the small market in town met our needs. Children are clearly welcomed here with a clean, charming play area. They even had enough laundry hampers and towels for a large, busy family. Just remember to bring water shoes and your insect repellent of choice--you will likely need these wherever you go in Eleuthera anyway. Such wonderful memories were made!

Perfect seclusion!
This place was fantastic, so much space. Excellent communication! We absolutely love the amenities, and please read the brochure. There are so many wonderful add-ons, we enjoyed catering delivery from cocojo’s, arriving late on the island, having food drinks, and then concierge grocery delivery from the marketplace. What a wonderful way to show up. The beach is a bit rocky, but they provide all kinds of water shoes, but if you have your own, bring them! we saw conch, all kinds of wonderful fish, so many starfish, and sand dollars. Please respect this beautiful place. Don’t bring any of those creatures out of the water, observe, but don’t take! You can walk miles in any direction and not even see a human, this place is so beautifully remote, but yet only 15 minutes from the rock sound airport. This is the epitome of convenience yet seclusion. I wish we could’ve stayed longer! oh, and there is this fantastic dog that comes around, I don’t know if she’s stray, but she 100% is the friendliest most amazing dog, we bought several cans of dog food while there to feed her, she is a wonderful companion to hang out with, and would love some snuggles, please give her some!

Perfection for a family of laid back travelers!
I just wanted to thank you for sharing Parlay at Sunset with us! We had a fantastic time in Eleuthera. It might not be for everyone...but it was perfect for us! The house has ample room, a great kitchen with anything you need and more. We had planned to have our grandchildren with us but they didn't make it - we wish that they could have because they have everything necessary for them too! Diana has gone overboard to provide all of the information that you could/would need for your stay. We found food and new friends along the way too! She is spot-on with her suggestions of people to contact for services and they were all so lovely! It was an awesome vacation!
