A Wonderful Pool Vacation Rental

We love staying at Sugar Apple! We are repeat renters because of the pool, the view of the gorgeous ocean, its central location, great indoor space, and the awesome responsiveness of the hosts! The local beaches, within walking distance from the house, are great for snorkeling, swimming, and beachcombing. Looking forward to next time!

Okay for the price

The are was beautiful and we had a great view and it was nice having the pool. It would have been nice if the pool had an outdoor shower or at least a water hose to rinse off with. Their was also no way to rinse off after coming home from the beach. The main sliders with the best view were broken and we could not open them. The AC in the middle room did not work so we had to bunk one of the kids with us. They had a washer and dryer and plenty of beach and snorkel gear. The house was was fine for for the last 5 days of our vacation but we would not book with this property again.

Highly recommended! The house is large, open, clean & very well laid-out. Solid Wifi and AC units in every room. The pool alone makes it worth it. You are a 2 minute drive to Rainbow Bay Beach (which is arguably the best beach on the island). There's a grocery not too far away (I forget the name, but it is just south). The Cliffs are also nearby and Rainbow Bay is "centrally" located for road-trips north and south. Communication was good and the Security Deposit was returned in-full promptly. Great experience! If/when we return to Eleuthera, this is where we will stay.

Sugar Apple

No bbq. Woefully undersupplied. Pans in poor condition. Only 3 beach chairs and too few towels. We were a group of 4. Entire cottage exterior needs paint. Peelings pain’t and deck boards with piping rusty nails made pool usage precarious. Outdoor table unusable due to feeling paint and rough condition. Many outdoor chairs cracked or broken.

Beautiful Home with Beautiful Views

My husband and I spend a month every winter on the island of Eleuthera and always stay in the rainbow bay area. This year we chose Sugar Apple.and absolutely loved it. The house is lovely and super comfortable... the views of the Atlantic are breathtaking, especially while relaxing by the pool. There are so many beaches and places to visit in the area. The location was perfect for awesome sightseeing and then to come home after exploring all day......make dinner and watch the cruise ships passing by while sitting on the deck, was a awesome way to end your day. Josette and Danelo are very helpful, kind people and attentive host's. We highly recommend!!

Loved our stay

We had such a nice time in sugar apple during our trip to Eleuthera. The location is ideal and the beaches are beautiful. The host were very helpful. We had a pressing question and they responded immediately and were able to answer. The house is roomy and was perfect, for the four of us, we would definitely stay again Wes and Mario loved hidden beach the most and spent so much time snorkeling.

Wonderful stay at Sugar Apple

We spent a week at Sugar Apple and loved it! The location is great if you want to explore the entire island and it's very close to Rainbow Bay Beach, one of our favorites. The house itself is laid out well, with three separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a nice kitchen area and living room. It was perfect for our family of four, which includes two teenage boys. The pool is wonderful (and well-maintained), and we used it often after our daily adventures. The host was very responsive to a minor water problem, which was resolved almost immediately. We will definitely consider staying at Sugar Apple again when we return to Eleuthera. Highly recommended.

the host is not cooperative

We tried to cancel at the last minute having no possibility to be at the rental and once the card was processed, it was no longer the host’s problem, did not even answer my messages. Very disappointed, I use VRBO often and this was not good management. We’ll be on the island again next year but never booking there again even if it looked great on the pictures.

This property worked well for our family of 5. Very spacious and our kids loved having the pool. We also LOVED that rainbow bay beach was close by. Contact with the owner was great and they even allowed us to drop suitcases off during cleaning so we didn't have to leave them in our vehicle while we explored beaches. Would stay again.

Family Vacation with Two Kids (9 and 10)

Very comfortable home that is well adapted to a family with two young kids (9 and 10). The pool was perfect to cool off, we were there for the last week of July and the weather was hot (38C). The location is peaceful and quiet with few neighbors and very close to two beaches. Food and amenities are expensive on the island and you might not find what you're looking for in the general stores there, so pack your coffee/tea if you are fussy about that. The people of Eleuthera are friendly and accommodating and we felt safe at all times during our stay wherever we went. Make sure to have bug spray for the noseeums!

Great house, great location!

My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) stayed here for 7 nights. Communication with the owners was excellent. They always replied quickly and gave helpful tips. We arrived at noon and needed to wait for the house cleaner to finish up. The owner gave us the perfect plan for how to spend our first few hours on the island. We loved the location. It's close to Cravings (excellent bakery) and Rainbow Inn (great food and view). Within a 45 min drive (North and South), we had access to Gaulding Cay, Queen's Baths, Glass Window Bridge, Preacher’s Cave, Tay Bay, Gene's Dock, Twin Coves, Ten Bay, and Receiver's Beach (and more). The pool! My kids spent every minute at the house in the pool. It was clean, refreshing, and deep enough for all of us to enjoy. The house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other the whole time. AC worked well and cooled the rooms quickly on arrival. Furniture was clean and comfy, and all appliances worked. Some reviews mention the house needing TLC...this is not touristy Nassau. Getting parts/replacements to the island is expensive and takes time. However, that's the trade-off for beautiful beaches that are practically empty. The electricity did go off frequently but never lasted long (maybe an hour). There was nothing about the house that affected our stay or made us regret renting it. We would definitely rent again!

Wonderful week at Sugar Apple

The house and pool (awesome) were just as shown on the website and had all the necessities. We enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean and cool breezes while relaxing on the deck. It was in a perfect location on the island, with easy access to north and south beaches and shops. Our border collie loved the fenced in yard and made new friends too! The hosts quickly responded to our questions and gave great recommendations for rental car, phones, etc. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
