This was a wonderful house, and especially for a family. The backyard was literally the Caribbean which we had all to ourselves the entire time. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for better views. The house was everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of room and we were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance and gadget. We used the paddle boards every day. There were kayaks and snorkels and floaties of every sort, which I really appreciate having all those things available. I cannot recommend enough.

We loved staying at this home on Eleuthera. The house was spacious, with a beautiful outdoor sun room to hang out in. The beach is right in your backyard, with plenty of amazing water sport equipment to use. My family of 11 (including 1 4 year old) had a great family vacation stop here. Perfect place to relax!

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.

Excellent snorkeling and kayaking. Thanks to hosts Diana and Ryan, and thanks to caretakers Ken, Audrey and Kevin for taking such good care of my family and I.

Parlay at Sunset

Parlay at Sunset was a great stay. There were a few minor hiccups from the previous renters, but Charles the property manager took care of things within a timely manner. We had a wonderful stay, and the private beach area was serene and blissful. My family had fun shell hunting. I recommend Parlay at Sunset for your Tarpum Bay stay.
