Holiday Rentals in James Cistern

"Rustic but very comfortable in a great location. Perfect for what we wanted for a family of 5 getaway and New Year.Sunset cocktails on the upstairs terrace particularly memorable."

"We truly enjoyed our stay at Salt Box. It’s a very charming Bahamian style property and very well kept. Once we walked through the house, we were amazed by the size of backyard/pool area and pool house which has 2 very nice bedrooms and a large bath. We ate most meals out but did have an incredible evening of grilled lobsters over the open fire on the parrilla. Great place for a family vacation."

"Had a fantastic stay and will return"

Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels

"We thoroughly enjoyed this private small cottage surrounded by inspiring ocean views and so close to the Triple TLC General Store where we found many necessary items for our fridge. The front porch restaurant is great and nearby. Hosts were accessible and helpful. "

"Our stay here was great. The host gives you so much inside information about the island, the beaches, local restaurants and businesses, etc. It felt like having a personal guide to Eleuthera. The home is comfortable and has lots of amenities like beach chairs, snorkels and masks, and an umbrella you can use which makes the beach experiences even better."

"NOT a resort. But, a wonderful location with beautiful views. Bring your own foodstuffs. Including salt and pepper…not going to find it here. WiFi was intermittent, power went off our first day here for three hours. Very close to Governor’s Harbour and GH airport."

"Bamboo House was a great location for our first trip to Harbour Island. There is a bank, drug store and liquor store directly across the street. We used a golf cart for transportation but also walked to dinner and to the beach as everything was really close by. The house and guest houses are darling and very comfortable for our group of 7. The kitchen was well stocked and they provide drinking water as you cannot drink the water from the tap. There are fresh towels dailyfor the bathrooms and the...

"Originally we thought the location was a lot farther than it actually was, it ended up being so close to everything and so easy to get every where. The property manager also owns a golf cart company so we had that waiting for us at the house when we got there. Everything about our stay "

On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels

"Our stay at this house could have been perfect if it had not been for two issues. The first one has to do with the accuracy of online listing in terms of location, it seems it is by the beach or at least at a pretty close walking distance but it is not actually like that, the second issue, which is a major one, is the problem with electric power the island suffers. We spent almost two days without electricity and it is something we should have been warned beforehand so we could make a decision...

"Just spent a week here. Perfect location and perfect home for 2. Very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Close to our favorite places but staying here was our favorite too. Hope to come back. "

"The house is beautiful and the view is amazing! We sure enjoyed the elegant heated pool! The owners were on the ball and so helpful! . Two women stayed in the two rooms in the guest house and said while attractive rooms in guest house there was a moldy smell/feel. However the main house is super fabulous. "

"Great location! Only steps to the beach. Stars are amazing. Sound of waves can be heard from the deck. Sunrise from the front deck each morning was wonderful. Sunset off the side deck is also great! Kitchen is well stocked for coooking and nice that staples were left behind from past guests, inlcuding extra drinking water. Be sure to go to the Island Farm store and the Market in Rock Sound was impressively stocked, especially for us as vegetarians who coooked most of our meals at...

"If you have the opportunity to stay at Blue Palms, take it! The house is set up perfectly and everything has been considered ... from beach chairs/towels to snorkel masks, guide books and coolers. Kitchen is fully stocked to cook at home with great heavy duty pans and blender for frozen drinks. Bedrooms and bathrooms terrific - all thoughtfully arranged with storage for clothes. Great artwork throughout house! Layout is well thought out with central big room inside and loads of hang out spaces...

"Property was a perfect home base for our week in Eleuthera! Spacious for our family of 4 and felt very private. Central location close to GH and convenient to restaurants, beaches and retail. Multiple power outages during our week and appreciated the generator for backup. Would consider again if our travels bring us back to the area!"

"This gem of a house is in walking distance of all that is Harbour Island- grocery store, restaurants, shops,"

"We booked this trip one week before we left. The owner was very accommodating of the last minute booking. The property was better than described. Beautiful remote location with the beach almost totally to ourselves as far as we could see. I 100% recommend this property."

"This off grid place was amazing, the ability to have a fire on the beach in the evening was spectacular. The photos matched the property as did the description. Given that it was cooler due to winter time having hot water would have made it perfect but the tenants were very clear that it wasn’t available. Honestly the people in the neighboring town were not very friendly and that was disappointing. The only significant recommendation we have for the place is to clean up the trash for appearance...

"After a horrendous journey to Eleuthera (2 days delayed), Sky Cove did not disappoint! Tenelle, the house concierge, was amazing and did so much to make our trip even better. The house was absolutely perfect for our family of 11 and the secluded cove was the perfect playground for our entire family! Thank you so much for an unforgettable vacation!"

" Overall, I thought the stay was great; it was peaceful, noise-free, and close to everything."

Oceanfront Glass House on Private Deserted Pink Sand Beach

5/5 Excellent

Beautiful location

"This was a perfect location for our stay. The bedroom layout is great for two couples, or two singles. The bedrooms are at separate ends of house and each has its own full bath. The beds were very comfy! The kitchen is well equipped, but we don't really like to cook on vacay, so opted for late lunch out somewhere every day, with light breakfast and snacks for dinner. There is a nice grill on back deck. The view from front deck is beautiful! We pulled the chaise lounges up from the middle deck and enjoyed sitting outside and watching the incredibly blue ocean. The gorgeous pink sand beach is just down some steps and we only saw someone else on beach once! It was very windy while we were there, so most of our beach-sitting time was spent on the west side of island (sooo many beautiful beaches to choose from!). We really appreciated having fold-up beach chairs and ice chests available to take in car or down to beach with us. Plenty of beach towels available for use. When the sky is clear, the stars are amazing...super bright and they seem so close! We don't get that living in the city. Internet was great. Heard lots of stories about it going down a lot on the island, but we only lost it once for a short time. Governors Harbor area was perfect location for us...very central for exploring north/south. Well-stocked grocery store in town. Barb was great. She responded quickly and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again."

Tingham is an incredible option if you're staying on Harbour island. Baby Ruby is a gem of a person. We will definitely be coming back in the future. "
