We h loved staying at Auqua Vista. Super cute little beach house. Charles our house manager was so helpful. There were some amenities that were not included. Dish washer detergent , shampoo , conditioner, soap . The water pressure was not good at all in the showers but overall the house was lovely and clean. The beach was stunning. The property is well kept.

We have stayed in several different rental houses on Banks rd. Aqua Vista was comfortable, two nice bedrooms with bathrooms. The kitchen was nice. The living area was comfortable and had great views. I especially liked having my coffee on the patio and watching the sun rise.The beach was quite lovely. The house is very care worn and needs some tlc. It needs new ice trays and more kitchen towels. Charles, the caretaker is great. The cistern emptied our second day, and he arrived and had it filled.

The house was perfect. Beds were good, kitchen appliances in good order. Very comfortable. Weather was spotty, but we figured on this for late October/November.Thankful the house had an on demand generator because power went off almost every day. Without that backup our stay would have been VERY uncomfortable.

George Anderson recommends this vacation rental.
The best thing about Acqu Vista is the incredible beaches Those to the south extend endlessly and are often completely empty. The house itself is functional, but a little tired. When we were there there was construction of a big new house 50 feet away. This was noisy and cut into our privacy. I don't know how they'll creat a sense of privacy once the new property is ready. I might recommend this property, though it seemed a little expensive.

Annegret Mumm-Arnow recommends this vacation rental.
It was a fantastic location! What a view, what a beach! The house was well structured and spacious. The housekeeper was very engaged and friendly. He even gave us 2 pineapples as a present. It was probably the most beautiful spot on that beach. However there were sharks almost every time we went swimming and snorkeling close to the beach. People told us not to worry but we preferred swimming at the Caribbean side of the island. I still would recommend the place because it is so beautiful.
- Manager Response:
We’ve never seen a shark off this beach, nor has any other guest of the house ever reported seeing a shark. We’ve certainly never heard of a shark attack on Eleuthera. Nor have we ever heard the theory espoused that the Carbbean side of the island has fewer sharks than the Atlantic side (where the pink sand beaches and most of the beachfront houses are located). So, in sum, we don’t know quite what to make of this comment, but we can tell you that sharks are not something we worry about.

After much online searching, we chose Aqua Vista for our first visit to Eleuthera. It was so wonderful that we extended our stay for an additional 4 days...until we absolutely had to be back for work!
The home is beautiful, comfortable, superbly located on Banks Road in North Palmetto Point, on the longest, most beautiful and walkable beach. The hosts provided so many helpful items - life jackets, inflation pumps, insect repellent, freezer bags, books, puzzles, a surfboard, lots of cooking utens

Lori McCain recommends this vacation rental.
This was our second vacation to the island. We chose the same general area because being centrally located is very convenient for day trips north or south, which I recommend. Beach exploration and sightseeing are a couple of our favorite things to do, especially looking for sea glass-which this area is known for. Great things about the house: Charles, the caretaker, gets first mention. He was incredibly kind by having us a pineapple, eggs, and water already at the house. BEST pineapple I’ve ever e

Nina Clemente recommends this vacation rental.
Our stay at Aqua Vista was wonderful. Being able to walk on the beach right past the quaint back yard was exactly what we were looking for. Complete privacy as the houses flanking the land were distant enough to not cross paths. We encountered very few people during our stay. The ocean was gorgeous for swimming, though they were quite a few rock shelves on the shoreline. The house is comfortable, bright and spacious. The kitchen is laid out well, though could use more cooking tools and new knives (the ones available were quite useless). We barely used the a/c during our stay as the house remains cool, ceiling fans were plenty to keep us cool. Charles was incredibly helpful and promptly answered all questions and needs. He even graciously got us some groceries as our flight was super delayed. The beds could use better pillows to sleep. Overall it was a lovely stay. The owner & Charles even got us a pack and play for our 20 month old baby! The location of the house is really great as it is 8 minutes from the Island Farm stand which we love, also the road is well kept along the way.
Fabulous Eleuthera vacation!

We stayed at an absolutely wonderful, charming, well-furnished and equipped home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The beach deck was perfect for coffee in the mornings, and the beach, while it has several rocky coral area, was easily accessible via the stairs down to the sand. Charles, our property manager, was terrific, responsive, and a great repreentative of the wonderful people of Eleuthera. Loved it!

Our experience with Aqua Vista was exceptional and I highly recommend renting this beautiful home.
Before I delve into our experience with the home/property, I want to highlight the excellent customer service we received from Kristin Tornow of Eleuthera Vacation . She was a delight to deal with; by far the best customer service I’ve ever experienced in over a decade of renting vacation homes, domestically and abroad.
Aqua Vista is ideally located, mid-island, directly on the beach
