Beachfront holiday 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!

Shes very sweet and nice, a great deal and good location, and shes very well connected.

Great location. Very affordable for Harbor Island. Host was very responsive. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

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 💖

Great location, 2 minute walk from the beach. She was very friendly, responsive and accommodating.

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!

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

We had an amazing stay at this beachfront property! The location is unbeatable, with stunning ocean views and just steps away from the sand. The house itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying morning coffee was pure bliss. An unforgettable beach getaway!

pictures don't do it justice. Sand was white and powdery, felt like flour. Beautiful beach. Nobody on it, ever. 4 miles of nothing which I loved. Snorkeling was average in the bay. House had snorkels and masks, paddle board and kayak, which we never took out. Locals will drop off whatever you need and do any tours you want. House is 1:45mins from the north where you have to ferry to an island to swim with the pigs, so we skipped that. I'm certain there is good snorkeling elsewhere on the island. We went south to Jacks Bay and got a tour of the Nicholas championship golf course and tiger woods course. Windemeyer was good, gated community. Food there is very average but the pickleball courts were great and everyone everywhere is so friendly. House had 5 bedrooms, 5 bath. The 5th bedroom was really small, fit 1 comfortably, but we didn't need it. A few restaurants are closed. Clothes washer didn't work (didn't spin the clothes). Overall, Awesome.

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.

I could not have asked for a better place to stay in!! This was perfect for our little family with our 10 month old baby. The view was spectacular and it was so convenient walking down to the beach everyday with our girl! The kayaks supplied were so fun! My husband and I took turns while we watched the baby on the shore. Such a great location too! Felt super safe! Next to great restaurants (Tippy’s and La Bounganvillea). Hewitt the property manager on site was so sweet. And dealing with Pam was amazing. Her communication was impeccable and she was so patient with us and All our questions. The house itself was beautiful and so comfortable. Book it! You won’t find a better place or property management team!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Howard was great with communication and setting up our golf cart rental and transportation from the airport. Donna met us at the docks, she showed us to the house and gave us a tour. The house was beautiful and the view is exceptional. It was a great location and had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely be planning a trip back.

Comfortable stay. Convenient location. Highly recommend.
