Overview & Photos
Welcome to the beautiful and hidden Touch of Class Villa, located on Little Bay, Eleuthera. With its prime Caribbean oceanfront location, Touch of Class enjoys access to a cozy and secluded beach with calm turquoise water.
The upstairs of Touch of Class Villa consists of a complete one-bedroom, one-bath apartment. The downstairs consists of two bedrooms and one bath. The upstairs and downstairs are connected via an external stairway, not internally. Families with young children should bear this in mind. If children are sleeping in a downstairs bedroom, you may wish to have an adult in the other bedroom.
Touch of Class Villa was built with the finest quality construction, quality finishes and furnishings, and excellent attention to detail. The house features 14-foot-high vaulted cypress ceilings, two 900 sq. ft. wrap around sundecks finished with Brazilian Ipe, floor to ceiling glass doors with retractable screens, and customized mood lighting complete with dimmer switches for you to create an ambiance of your very own. We believe at Touch of Class Villa that comfort is key while vacationing. You will be hard pressed to find a more comfortable and charming Bahamian vacation home on the island of Eleuthera. Our fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and black granite countertops. The living area features an Italian leather sectional sofa and LED TV.
Touch of Class Villa has two bedrooms with king beds and one with twin beds. The large sectional sofa can sleep up to two more guests. There is also a single-size inflatable mattress.
For larger groups, we have a brand new two-bedroom house next door that can be added to the reservation for an additional charge.
Amenities at Touch of Class include AC throughout, WIFI, satellite TV, washer and dryer, and a charcoal grill.
Rates are on a sliding scale based on the number of guests. We set the rates this way to make the property more affordable for smaller groups who use less utilities and put less wear and tear on the house. If you enter the correct number of guests, the reservation system will calculate the rates correctly.

A guest from San Marcos, TX US recommends this vacation rental.
We loved our stay at Touch of Class villa. The villa is located on a calm Caribbean bay—no waves at all, so the water is perfectly clear. The snorkeling is the best we found on the island—we saw lots of fish every day, and a few times we saw more exciting things, like nurse sharks, sea turtles, and rays. The villa has a huge trunk full of snorkeling gear and an outdoor shower, and you can kayak out to the tiny island at the entrance to the bay and see even more fish. And the best part: there are only 4 houses on the bay, so we mostly had it all to ourselves. The house is beautiful: the living room and beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are very nice. The kitchen is tiny but well-equipped. The house is at the end of a very long, very bumpy dirt road, and this part of the island doesn’t have many tourist-y things to do other than explore the many beaches (you can get your wave fix on the Atlantic coast just a few miles away, and those beaches are equally deserted.) Cathedral Cave was a fun stop not too far away, and most tourist things are at the north end. The hosts were very helpful and responsive; when someone hit a power line in Governor’s Harbour, we lost power for about 11 hours; Natasha emailed us a photo of the accident and let us know what to expect. We explored the island and enjoyed the bay until power was restored. Finally, the bugs are no joke. People say to stay indoors at dusk; I would add to that to make sure you’re covered in insect repellant if you’re going to be outside in the shade at all.

We came for a week in April and had an amazing time! The house was super clean when we arrived and it had all the amenities we needed. Easy check in process. We enjoyed the incredible views every day. The central location made for easy access of the best beaches Eleuthera has to offer. Would definitely recommend

A guest from Camrose County, Alberta Canada recommends this vacation rental.
We enjoyed TOC for many reasons, we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The location of the house was easy to get to and had amenities close by. The house was what we thought it would be as per description and pictures. Beds were very comfortable and with lots of storage for our clothes. The house came with a few extras, chairs for the beach, floaties of all sizes, snorkel gear and fins, the kayaks were our
favorite. Lots of seating on the upper and lower deck. We enjoyed daily visits from a few stingrays, saw a shark, starfish and other fish. However, they were not kidding the bugs were the worst part. With a lot of bug spray, we faired not too badly. Also the kitchen is tight but we made do. We enjoyed some restaurants 3J's was great BBQ, Buccaneer's and Delish were our favorites. Ten Bay and Twin Bay were our favorite beaches. Natasha was kind and very helpful when we had concerns and or questions. We would return.

Eric D. from Amsterdam, New York United States recommends this vacation rental.
House was in a great location right on the calm Caribbean Ocean. Island is about 100 miles long. One main road with rough side roads. Road to the house is very rough, similar to many beaches you may visit. Def. rent an SUV if your going to explore. We actually rented our vehicle from the caretaker of Touch of Class. Met us at the airport when we arrived. Dropped SUV off when we left.
We had great food while on the Island. The Buccaneer Club (2x) was our favorite. 3 J's BBQ was also very good. One good tip to share is dont sleep on the gas stations as good sources for groceries. Snorkeling was below average compared to other islands we have visited. From the back deck you can see Barracuda and a ton of Needle fish. Saw them when we snorkeled too. Don't leave food out in the house overnight.
Lovely stay, wish we were still there

A guest from Brookline, MA United States recommends this vacation rental.
Our group of 4 adults and 2 children just returned from a lovely stay at TOC. What a beautiful property and location. The views are everything. Every morning, I would wake up and say "it's a beautiful day on Eleuthera" because it was. We could have sat on the decks looking at that turquoise water all day long.
The sunsets are stunning (but the no-see-ums are bad at that time - we didn't find a bug spray that worked for us) In the mornings you can watch the needlefish and the occasional ray. In the evenings we saw dolphins and a turtle in the distance.
The house is great and has everything you need to be comfortable. Plenty of towels, beach towels, a full set of spices, games, snorkeling gear, floaties, tons of comfortable outdoor seating, extra sun screen, a washer and dryer (no beach umbrella). The property is showing some wear and tear (screens in particular) but nothing major. Natasha was responsive and helpful always.
As stated in the other reviews, the kitchen is very tight, but it does truly have everything you might need.
Unfortunately, the stairs to the water were out of commission, hopefully they will be fixed soon. I took a kayak out to the little island, it was an easy and beautiful paddle that I highly recommend.
The bedrooms are spacious and lovely with nice bathrooms. The downstairs has the bathroom between the two bedrooms, good for a family of 4 to share. The downstairs shower has water views through one-way glass.
Important note: there is another house immediately next door, about 10 feet away that is not shown in the listing. We were lucky in that the people staying there were quiet and respectful, but it was a real surprise to us to find an occupied house right there. Darker curtains that can be closed as needed might be good to prevent the people next door seeing into the bedrooms on that side of the house.
Amazing place, we would stay again.

The house was just as described. Right on the water with an amazing view. I highly recommend snorkeling each morning. We saw so many different kinds of fish/starfish. The location was great - centrally located on the island so you can go north or south exploring.

We loved staying at touch of class. The house was easy to find, easy check in and check out. The house was very comfortable with all the amenities described. Many extra touches such as coolers, beach towel, beach chairs, floats, and snorkel gear. The kitchen was well stocked including spices. We enjoyed the balconies and swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking in the bay. We ate at several of the local restaurants and explored several nearby beaches. The location was great for groceries, alcohol, and fresh bread and produce. We will definitely be back!

Lori L. from Erie, CO United States recommends this vacation rental.
This was a beautiful place to spend time with the family and relax. I can not say enough about the location! We were able to swim and snorkel right outside the house, fished from the shore (with a soup can), saw mana ray, barracuda, yellow tail, little conch, and caught an abundance of grouper right from the shore. Every morning we sat on the deck with our coffee enjoying the peace and listening to the birds sing, one would even sing back to us when we asked it a question. There are restaurants near, and we really enjoyed 1648. We also went on an excursion one day to swim with the pigs, turtles and mana rays, and snorkel at a reef. Our guide Captain Sheldon with Exotic Excursions 242 was amazing and even made time to let us fish which enticed us to hire a guide to fish later in the week Captain John with Big Mac sure gave us an experience including diving for the conch so we would have fresh bait and some conch to take home with us to make Conch Salad. It really was an amazing experience.
The road to the house is quite rocky and bumpy but doable as long as you take it slow. You will need to be careful of potholes on the Queen's Highway and nails near construction sites. We got a flat from a nail and Coco/Natasha who we rented our car from took care of us right away. We had a couple of things that needed to be addressed and the response was immediate including delivery of a blender so we could make Pina Coladas. We would definitely stay at this home again if we have the opportunity and highly recommend it!
Can’t beat the view!

Angie T. from Fort Collins, CO United States recommends this vacation rental.
We had a wonderful time at Touch of Class. The house was very clean and comfortable, and there is no shortage of fun at things to do right off the back deck! We really enjoyed the fact that the house is separated, as we were staying with another couple, and it made it feel more private. We had a small problem with a window AC unit when we arrived, but it was fixed immediately. The rental company and property manager were incredibly responsive and very easy to work with. It may seem like you’re in the middle of nowhere, but there’s lots of great things just down the road. We especially liked the grocery/fuel store mile down the road towards Savannah Sound a mile or two south. They had some of the better selections that we found on the entire island. The house had more than enough kitchen supplies for us to enjoy meals at the house without having to go out much. You really can’t beat morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and lunch/dinner from that deck when the Caribbean is a stones throw away!!! One thing that is extremely important to note... You will need a tremendous amount of bug spray not just at the property, but pretty much around the entire island! Dawn and dusk were very bad, but the majority of the day isn’t too bad.

A guest from Calhoun, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.
This house is located on the Caribbean side of Eleuthera. We chose it because we like to fish, kayak and snorkel and the water is almost always more calm than the Atlantic side. It did not disappoint. We were able to catch our dinner every night! It was just the two of us, so we rented just the upstairs of the house which was very comfortable. The sunsets, kayaks, grill, AC and sound system were great! The Milky Way was amazing and we were able to enjoy it from the breezy upstairs deck, where the no-see-ums did not bother us :-)

Jenna J. from Burnsville, NC United States recommends this vacation rental.
Hidden gem with all the amenities you could ask for. The photos really do not do this property justice! We enjoyed having our coffee on the deck every morning while pointing out all of the sea life below (stingrays, small shark, starfish). The water is so clear, and the snorkeling was great. The home is not huge (we rented the top only) but big enough for what you need. Even the architecture of the home was beautiful, from the big windows/sliding doors to the wood ceilings. The location is somewhat secluded, although there was construction happening next door. We didn’t mind as they were not loud or obtrusive. We can’t wait to go back!
A Touch of Class was just what we needed!

This vacation rental experience was SO seamless and relaxing. Touch of Class was exactly as described, pictures were accurate (though, of course, it was even better in real life!) The view from the house was gorgeous and we had everything we needed for relaxing, adventure, or gourmet cooking right there at the house. The kayaks and snorkel gear were super convenient, the kitchen was well-appointed with pots, pans, glassware, etc., the decks had comfy chairs to lounge in, the outdoor shower was fantastic, bed was comfortable, showers were hot and A/C was cold! It was as comfortable as being at home...but a lot more exotic! The house was clean and ready for us upon check-in...and checking in and out was a breeze. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

A guest from Wichita, KS US recommends this vacation rental.
This was our third trip to Eleuthera and it was wonderful. Speaking for the main floor only, TOUCH OF CLASS was very nice. Typical of a beach front rental it showed some signs of wear but was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. It has everything you need including a comfortable bed, nice shower, and a small but well equipped kitchen. It’s location on the island was perfect for exploring beaches and was very close to a grocery store and an excellent restaurant.(Sammy’s). The water out front was shallow enough for swimming, with a nice sandy bottom. The rocky ledge to the right offered some great snorkeling at low tide with a variety of sea life. We were visited every day by a potcake (Caribbean dog) and a small but harmless reef shark. You will see lots of rays and fish right from the deck and yes they are catchable. On the lower deck you will find an outside shower for a quick rinse and a box filled with snorkel gear. There is a small island straight out in front of the house that we kayaked to (10 minutes) that is inhabited by nesting sea birds. We had a minor snafu with the kayaks but managers Kim and Jason were very helpful in correcting it. Out of three houses we’ve rented here, this one was the best.
