We had a great time exploring the island from here. You definitely need a rental car- SUV would have been better for some of the roads. Rainbow bay beach is a lovely spot and close by. The best conch salad is at the conch hut in James Cistern! House was well equipped with beach chairs, towels and snorkel gear. We loved hearing the ocean at night from our window!
This is clean and cool house. This house has good space for a family of four. Great AC in all room as hot and humid outside so this is a plus. Josette (host) was great, very punctual in providing island guidance. We experienced a afew power disruptions during our stay at night. At first, we freak out as first timer to the island. After consulted with the host, we get used to it. Luckily multiple outages were short. I would go back if wifi infrastructure getting upgraded. For couple reason: family with pre teen, flight status checkin etc.
Overall we were very very please with location and prompt reaction to any questions or needs

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
A very well run property with excellent communication by the owner on everything. Rainbow Inn restaurant nearby a great and convenient option for dining.
Great location for us ... Updated interior with fun island decor, beautiful tropical view from the deck, and certainly nice to be close enough to feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves at beach. Very quiet nights and comfortable bed. Well equipped with the basics for our 1 week stay. Enjoyed walking the local roads and beach-combing along the secluded beaches.
We so enjoyed our stay!! The property was lovely and the surrounding are amazing. Great location convenient to many beautiful beaches. We can't wait to visit again!
We loved staying at this property while visiting Eleuthera. The house is very nice and clean. The beds were comfy with nice sheets and pillows. The kitchen had cookware and utensils to make eating at home easier. The property managers were very quick to respond and even reached out when the tv went out before we even knew it was! Would highly recommend!
Very clean. Good neighborhood. Nice walk to Twin Beach. 5 minute drive to Rainbow Beach. Not many restaurants. We ate most of our meals at the house and packed a lunch for our daily excurtions.
The apartment was spacious and tidy upon arrival. Briana the host, was super helpful and I could text anytime and she would respond speedily.
I loved the space, the area and would recommend staying here as a family not by your own :)
We stayed at Sandy Toes for a couple of nights. The house is as advertised. Very clean, good supplies, good wi-fi, access to washer/dryer was an excellent perk, too! The house itself has no direct beach access, but is within 5 minutes of Rainbow Bay and several Atlantic beaches. You can't beat the amenities and space for the price in this area! Trash dumping isn't on-site and takes some time so allow time for that while you're there.
Just returned home after spending 2 weeks in Eleuthera with Sandy Toes as our base. For our first trip to the Bahamas, it was a good location and good value for the money. Compared to past vacation rentals I’ve used in other countries, it was pretty bare (no spare toilet paper, laundry soap etc) but that’s perhaps standard for the island with how expensive everything is. Didn’t impact our enjoyment of the property, just good to know if you are going to go shopping before you check in.
Also-this is a duplex, and the walls are quite thin. Again, didn’t impact us, but not apparent in the photos.
Overall, totally recommend this property for those wanting to stay in Rainbow Bay. We made a cat friend (orange and white), so make sure you say hello to “Cheese” if you see her. :)
Everything at your fingertips. Clean and comfortable, very spacious. Can also see ocean. Enjoyed every moment.

Great spot to jump off from!
We had a very peaceful and relaxing time while staying here. The house was very nice and clean, the kitchen was well stocked for island standards, and the place was very very quiet. I have honestly never slept so well on a vacation.
This is a great location if you have a car and want to go to the North or South parts of the island. There are quite a few restaurants around; Mel’s Snack Shack, The Conch Salad Hut, Rainbow Inn, and the Front Porch were all within 15 mins.
There are 3 beaches that are very close and are easily accessible. The neighborhood is very low key and the neighbors keep to themselves but like everyone on the island they are very hospitable with their genuine smiles and happy waves.
The property came with some solid amenities like a washer and dryer, outdoor hose, ice chest, and beach chairs. Also the place had 3 a/c units, 1 for each bedroom and a large one for the living room. At the end of the day after turning the fans on and opening the windows we would crank those things up and within minutes the place was feeling great!
This was our second time to the island and we really feel that this place was perfect for what we were looking for. We had a splendid time and we can’t wait to return!

Ultimate Relaxation
The pictures do no justice for this property! It is OUTSTANDING and situated just right to catch the ocean's breeze. Super clean, had everything we needed to cook and plenty of closet space. My husband and I truly enjoyed this place for our anniversary and my birthday. My only suggestion is to have a shower caddy in the bathrooms to hold soap, body wash etc. and maybe a full length mirror in one of the bedrooms. We will definitely be returning!! By the way Joy (caretaker) was great!!!

Beautiful new Cottage
Sandy Toes was very nice. It is spacious, clean and everything brand new. It has a beautiful view from the porch and deck where grilling and relaxing is awesome. It has everything anyone would need to enjoy their vacation. Centrally locates you can go either way to explore. Internet was good.
