Beachfront vacation rentals in James Cistern Beach

Thanks for letting us stay in the lovely one bedroom studio. Everything was clean and fresh. Just like the photographs. It was easy to communicate with June, she was super helpful. Responded within 4 hrs typically. The walk to Gaulding’s Cay beach is only 3 minutes from the cottage. The beach is gorgeous with crystal clear water in a lovely cove. We used the paddle boards a couple of times and went out to the big rock. Great swimming and super quiet. My husband wanted to fly fish, but no fish scene at this spot. I’d definitely recommend Daddy-Joes restaurant, Taco Tuesday. An easy walk from the cottage. Good food and more reasonable than other restaurants. Live music some evenings as well which was fun.

We had a lovely stay at Sonshore Cottage! The house was clean, had a beautiful esthetic, extra beach towels were in the closet for our use, a soft cooler and plenty of ice packs were available for our beach outings, and more! Sarah was also a very responsive host providing us with a lot of local recommendations and help if we had any questions. We will definitely stay at Sonshore Cottage again when we return to Eleuthera!

Dear Alejandra, Thank you for accommodating our proposed booking dates. Self check in was a breeze. We took a leap of faith in selecting our vacation at Coco Plum Hill since you had no reviews. You explained that the renovation of the villa had just finished in April and the listing on the platform had just being uploaded. Wow…so delighted to have been your first guest. The pictures do it no justice. Both main bedrooms have a balcony with spectacular Caribbean views. The kitchen is so well equipped and the furniturings are stylish and comfortable. The outdoors felt like a boutique hotel…lounge areas galore around the house and on the beach. I especially liked rocking on the hammocks while nodding away looking at the turquoise waters. We were 3 couples and we really enjoyed using Coco Plum as a base to explore all that Eleuthera has to offer. Anyone that is considering…run to book this recently renovated property in North Eleauthera. It far exceeded our expectations.

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Gena’s beach cottage on the beach! It was ideal for our small family—cozy, well-equipped, and exactly as described and pictured. The location is unbeatable. We practically had the entire beach to ourselves, and the view was simply stunning. One of the highlights for our son was finding over 80 sand dollars right out front—pure magic. Communication with Gena was seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend and would return!

Loved the house was perfect for our family - will be back 💖

Our family had a wonderful week!We enjoyed the beach,had the best ocean view and very clean house with fresh linens and towels!!We enjoyed golf cart rides around the island.The host was always responsive and very helpful!We are definitely coming back!

Great place right on the water!! The patio was great to sit outside and look out over the ocean. We will definitely stay here again. Wally responded quickly and was very accommodating. Thank you

Wow! One of the most incredible vacations we have booked, if you are lucky enough to be looking at the listing with available dates don’t even think about it just book it, the pictures and description really don’t do this place justice…it’s got everything you thought you wanted and more Ever heard of having a whole ocean to yourself? That’s basically what you get, we maybe saw 2 other people in the water during our entire stay, and even then they were quite far away Private beach and snorkelling right at your feet, we saw so many incredible sea life like angelfish, sting rays, turtles, starfish, and every night there’s hundreds of small fish that jump out of the water it’s incredible if you see it!! Sauna with a view of the ocean Hot tub with a view of the ocean Everything was so clean and many small decorative around the house, everything was thought of Nice sized kitchen indoors and out Seemingly infinite seating space Convenience store within walking distance List goes on Just book

Can’t believe I just stumbled upon this Airbnb. Loved it!! Will definitely be back again. My son and I felt right at home.

This place was everything we could have hoped! It was just as described in the descriptions and pictures. A perfect vacation!!

This was our 5th stay in Eleuthera. This home and the setting were on the top of the list for us. The home is perfectly laid out and had every amenity you could possibly need. The pool was perfectly positioned for full day sun and protected from windy days with lovely landscaping. We have stayed on double bay beach before, and we were excited to get back. The option to have shade and a hammock was amazing. The location made it easy to visit some of our favorite other beaches and restaurants. Thank you for a perfect week in Eleuthera. We will definitely be back!

It's hard to describe Paradise, but if I had to picture what it would be like it would be Cayo Loco! The beach and the water were the prettiest I have ever seen (and I have lived in Hawaii). You can walk for miles and not see anyone. To me there is nothing better than sleeping with the windows open and having the sound of the ocean waves lull you to sleep. Plenty of great things to do and wonderful places to eat. Our host would give us updates everyday with suggestions which was so helpful! They went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. Other than the amazing beaches, the most memorable experiences we had were with the people of Eleuthera. The culture there is to be welcoming, kind and considerate to everyone. They truly love and respect their island and want you to feel at home there. We can't wait to return and hope to stay longer this time.

the Beach House is something special. Lots of room and beautifully appointed. French Leave Beach is pristine. If we met someone on the beach it was unusual. A special feature for a naturalist guest was all the lizards and the Cuban Tree Frogs. On our last night, a night Heron came to visit the pool, a very special treat. we had a wonderful time. Close to everything.

Home/compound were beautiful. House was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable and the decor was clean was uncluttered. The island has little mosquitos which were quite bothersome. Need bug spray for sure! Eleuthera is like an untouched paradise. Barely any road signs or addresses which makes navigating the island an adventure but slightly frustrating if trying to go somewhere specific. This is an island for someone who enjoys going off the beaten path. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

My family and I had a wonderful amazing stay at your home. Every day was a beautiful adventure, walking around the island and exploring the beaches and snorkeling. It was serene, rustic, and a breath of fresh air from our busy lives. Glad we brought food as the grocery stores were something to get used to, but it was an adventure, and everybody was so nice. We will for sure come back.

Beautiful spot right next to the sea. We felt very private. There are water shoes that can be used and are helpful to get into the water, as it is all rocks. Josette always replyed very fast to my questions, thankmyou so much for that! We really enjoed this gem.

Loved the place! Super nice and unbelievable location right on the beach. We had two houses rented but, we cooked most all our meals here relaxed under the huge covered rear patio. Very impressed!

I've been on the island many times the location of this house is actually amazing just 10 minutes from the central airport and 5 minutes to the best restaurants in town, the view of the water is just spectacular. Private Road real quiet and peaceful.

Ms. Sha'Nyha was an excellent hosts, she was always there to help us. The apartment is super clean, and the place is very nice.

We really enjoyed our stay at Baha Mara. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The house itself is spacious and light-filled, well appointed and equipped, with lovely art and nice touches throughout. Comfortable beds and living room space, great kitchen for cooking, large porch for sitting out. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the day beds at water's edge, as well as exploring the tide line and in the water on the SUPs and with snorkels. This was our first visit to Eleuthera, and we found Baha Mara to be perfectly located to venture out to various villages, beaches, restaurants and grocery options not too far from the house. We discovered on our first day that the closest eastside beach, Islandia, is closed to the public pending a sale of the surrounding 466+ acres (!), so we explored a handful of the myriad sandy stretches up and down the coast. We only wished that we had more days to spend and that we had booked a day out on the boat with John/Big Mac Fishing. Next time!

The Bahamas Beach House was a great stay. It’s an extremely charming and homey beach vibe - even better than the photos, in our opinion - with best-in-class beach access. Like all houses on the island, it’s a little worn around the edges and suffers from predictable challenges of grit and bugs. But it was the perfect space for our family with a kid-friendly layout and ample room to host a few friends indoors and out. If we make it back to Spanish Wells, we would definitely book this place again!

We loved our stay at Seashell villa. It’s the most beautiful setting, perfect for sunset. Thank you both 😊

We had a wonderful time at Betty’s ❤️ Beautiful beaches easily accessible, great patio, inspiring views - just what we were looking for:) Would absolutely stay again & highly recommend for long or short stays.

Comfortable stay. Convenient location. Highly recommend.
