Rachel McGinn recommends this vacation rental.
This was our fourth stay at Gumbo Limbo. Obviously we love this house! It has everything we need and is perfectly located. Minutes from town and a short walk to Tippy's, a beautiful swimming pool and ample outdoor space. The interior is always spotless and the beds are super comfortable. We can't wait to return next year.

Gumbo Limbo is in a perfect location, convenient to everything you need. The house has everything you need, so beautiful and clean. Carol the manager was amazing, so responsive and checked in on us throughout the week to make sure we were happy. The pool was perfect, especially our week when the weather was so windy and water was a bit rough.

Gumbo Limbo house and pool were very clean and the house was well stocked with the everyday items. The house and pool area are much bigger than the pictures convey. Nice & private yard with no neighbors close by. Easy walk to the beach with private access stairs. Very close by to the major venues for our destination family wedding. Would rent it again! Management team was excellent and very accommodating, responded quickly & most helpful!

The house is beautiful, clean, and well kept. The walk to the beach is very short and convenient. The area around the home is quiet and safe. The proximity to governors harbor is close, there are several good restaurants and a pretty well stocked grocery store. The distance from governors harbor airport is about an hour and fifteen minutes, but it’s not a bad drive. The beach is beautiful and very private. The private pool was also great. We had it to ourselves the entire time. Carol is a

From the moment we arrived we knew the house would be perfect. Beautiful, very clean and plenty of room for eight of us! The pool was always clean and inviting. Everything we could have needed for the beach and pool was available. Beach access was very easy to get to and so close. We used the kayak a few times! Location was the best. Close to the market, liquor store, gift shop, coffee shop, and beaches of course. Our property manager, Carol, was so kind and welcoming. She was quick to help us with any prob

House is very nice and spacious. Literally has everything you need for the week. We loved it. Generator was amazing! Had clean water all of the time. Carol and Pamela were always so helpful!!

The Gumbo Limbo house was perfect in every way for our family and friends. The location is great. Right in the middle of the island. Easy to get to. Local grocery stores and places to eat. The house was so clean and the towels and bedding smelled to good. We loved the access to the beautiful beach. The house also had great amenities with the pool and the beach chairs and kayaks down by the beach. It was also a very private location so quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend the house and the great

My wife and I and two friends stayed here for eight days at Gumbo Limbo and everything is as advertised in the description and in the pictures. The house was well stocked with all the kitchen essentials, it also has plenty of beach towels and beach equipment. The location on Banks Road is excellent and it is just a short one to two minute walk to the beach from the house. The pool, with its lush, tropical setting, is very peaceful and quiet. The Eleuthera Vacation Rentals staff is always excellent to dea

We enjoyed a much needed, restful stay at Gumbo Limbo. After 10 days we were sad to be leaving what we decided was the a top 2 vacation house experience we’ve ever had!!
Everything was perfect, from the location, the heated pool, the cleanliness.
But what set this house apart from many other homes we have stayed in was the amazing comfort throughout the house.
From the bed, to the various seating throughout the inside of the house.
But our favorite spot was the covered outdo

What an incredible house! The master bed is incredibly comfortable, the house is well stocked with anything you need, the layout is perfect for a family, and the house was incredibly clean! Carol... she's amazing! The location you simply cannot beat (near Tippy's, the beach, a few minutes from other restaurants). We highly recommend and will be back!

We loved everything about this beautiful house! Perfect location for us with a private stairway to a pink sand beach. Walk to Tippy's or the Potlatch Club, take out the kayak, snorkel or bask by the heated pool. Great vacation for family of 5, with three teens. Would definitely return!
