About this property

The Barefoot Beach House sits on a sandy beach

The Barefoot Beach House is one of the nicest guest house offered in South Palmetto Point...just south of Governor's Harbour in Eleuthera. This is offered as a 2 bed/2bath. See Home Away 4279742 for an additional bedroom and bath if you need 3bed/3baths. Step out the door to a beautiful crystal clear turquoise beach. We have a rowboat that can double as a sailboat, a canoe and kayaks for your use. Inside the tropically decorated home you will have all the luxuries of home...hair dryer, iron, cable TV, WI FI ,games & water toys. Fully equipped kitchen and 8' wrap around patio with patio furniture and gas grills. Relax in the hammock under the palm trees, catch a bonefish right off the beach, explore the many beaches on the island, take day trips to the north & south and do some island exploring or just relax on the sandy beach and soak up some sun. Come back and enjoy the oversized shower with room for 2 or sit out on the patio and enjoy the stars that sparkle like diamonds in the sky.
Easy commute to local attractions: Located about the middle of the island it makes it great for day trips to the north and south. We offer a book with directions to all the beaches and attractions...explore at your leisure. There are several stores and restaurants located within a 5-7 mile radius. You might not want to leave the property as we are located on a sandy beach and have a boat that can double as a sailboat, a canoe and kayaks for your use. Enjoy relaxing in the swaying hammock under the palm trees, work on your tan on the beach or explore the island and find hidden beaches. With our unique location we have sunrises to the east over a point of land and sunsets over the Pineapple Cays which are right off shore. You will have breathtaking views of the stars at night..like diamonds in the sky. You will find The Barefoot Beach House relaxing, squeaky clean and comfortable.

Please leave all your worries at home. We expect you to relax...we even provide you with a complimentary BOTTLE OF LOCAL RUM! Our motto is: Enter as a guest, leave as a friend. Once you have visited Eleuthera you will not want to go home. With our repeat guests we know that you will want to come back again and again.

If you have to contact home...: We have wireless internet available at the Beach House. (The owners also have a computer available to check emails as well as a phone that can make calls world wide.)

A brilliant and very relaxed family holiday in a lovely home

We travelled from the UK to Eleuthera with our two young children (ages 5 & 7) and spent 12 wonderful days at The Barefoot Beach House. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and felt immediately relaxed upon arrival, with the beautiful Caribbean Sea on our doorstep and the homely surrounds of the beach house, which the pictures here don't really do justice to. Sharon & Skip are very experienced and professional hosts, they've worked hard to create a fabulous holiday home and they're very helpful without being at all intrusive. The house is fully equipped and has everything you could possibly think of, plus loads more and the beds are VERY comfortable! The location is also great for exploring the beaches on the island - It's right in the middle, so you can easily head North and South (beautiful beaches in every direction) and there's a lovely farm shop just 2mins up the road for fresh produce. We spent plenty of time on the beach outside the house too, it was quiet there and the water is shallow, which was perfect for the children and gave me plenty of peace of mind. They had a few goes on the kayaks and walked/swam out to the nearest cay when the tide was low. We felt very safe in Eleuthera and the people there and island vibe is very relaxed and laid back. Hopefully we'll come back one day and in the meantime I'll be recommending The Barefoot Beach House to all my friends! Thank you again.

Birthday get away

We loved everything about the property. The access was excellent and the rental car assistance was a huge help, and much cheaper. We enjoyed the fading light in the calm surf a couple of steps back to the house. We can’t wait to come back to this treasure.

Barefoot Beach House

This house has a great location centrally located on the island and sits on a beautiful sandy beach. The Owner takes pride in her house and keeps it very clean and pristine. The grounds are tropical and well maintained. This was our first time exploring the island but honestly we could have stayed at the house and just enjoyed everything this house had to offer.

RELAX SUL MARE

Un waoo appena entri nel giardino, tutto bello in ordine e pulito, ha dato subito un effetto come di sentirsi a casa. Che dire sul fatto che la casa è sulla spiaggia, bellissimo. Dormire col rumore del mare, davvero fantastico. Complimenti a Sharon e Nathan x mantenere quell'angolo di paradiso così bene. È stata veramente un ottima scelta. Consigliatissimo ad occhi chiusi. Per non sottovalutare che si trova al centro Dell'isola, così puoi girare bene fino a toccarne gli estremi . Comoda posizione anche x spesa alimentare con verdure ed alimenti freschi (visto che siamo Italiani !! per noi molto importante). Peccato solo che la vacanza sia Finita, è Stata dura doversi staccare da quei colori paradisiaci, ma li porteremo sempre vivi nella mente e nel cuore.

I would give 6 stars if that were an option!

You will hear a lot about the island and how magical it is….and I was very disappointed in the pink sand. All the pictures you see are taken with filters. If you want to see pink sand, wear pink sunglasses!! I have to say that the island people are super nice and the island holds a decent amount of magic but if I am ever able to go back, I would stay at the rental on the patio overlooking the Caribbean all day every day! Perfect place with perfect hosts. Thanks, Skip and Sharon

Spectacular beachfront cottage

Firstly the cottage is one of the most impeccably clean places we have ever stayed at. Skip and Sharon have done an amazing job at making this cottage wam and welcoming. The location in palmatto point is conveniently located to grocery/liquor stores nearby. The beachfront is fantastic. Literally 50 steps from bedroom to the warm carribbean waters. We will definitely be back again.

Did not disappoint!!

This place was absolutely amazing! The house, the beach, all of it was just perfect. Through the whole process from booking to leaving Sharon and Skip made it so nice. Skip was so hospitable. Felt like we have known him for years. Sharon wasn’t there for other reasons but I’m sure if she was we would have hit it off as well. And when they tell you all you need is your swim suit and a few outfits….believe them. They have everything you could possibly need at the house. I only hope we make this a regular trip. Definitely want to go back…..today please. 😊

Well Appointed Home in stellar location.

Skip and Sharon's home was chosen because we were traveling with my 82 year old Mother and she had to be toes in sand and surf with little effort. First, let me say that the house is well appointed, very clean and on a stunning beach. Your hosts live right next door. For those of us that like a bit of privacy and anonymity, this may not be the house for you. As a vacation rental owner myself, I understand the benefits of checking in with your guests every so often. I just felt that the two homes were a little close for my comfort. Having said that, if you are the kind of person that likes to chit chat on vacation and don't mind interacting with your host on a daily basis, you will love the Barefoot Beachhouse. The grounds are well cared for, the beach is raked every morning, there are kayaks, water toys and games 'o plenty. The decor is a bit dated and old fashion but the furniture and beds are very comfortable, the linens and towels were 5* and the Guestbook, maps and books about the island available in the house were more than 5*. Really outstanding information. I snorkeled throughout the island and found the snorkeling right out front to be very interesting. Great other snorkeling spots were less than 15 minutes away. Amazing water. House lends itself to more traditional indoor living with windows and screen door but not that open island outdoor living space you might like. The back patio was fine in the morning and afternoon but by 5:30 the bugs and flies were out and it was impossible to eat our dinners on the terrace...big bummer. Left covered in no see-um bites despite bug spray and SkinSoSoft which folks tout as the best. Overall, for the more mature crowd, the Barefoot Beach House is lovely. The views are amazing.

Terrific Place

A hidden gem, S. Palmetto Point was great. close to every where it is some where in the middle of Eleuthera. We explore the north to get to boat tours and my grandson had a blast swimming with the pigs,turtles,snorkeling and more. But the truth is that the beach in front of the house is all you need. the house had everything you need, very comfy and very well decorated, the hosts are great and will help you with direction, Maps helped a lot. You want to stay longer, the people are very friendly there. We are returning next year God willing.

Perfect location

Met Skip as I arrived at the house. Beautiful spot in front of a sandy beach. Since Palmetto is in the middle of the island it made for a great starting point to explore the whole island. The house was comfortable and had what we needed for a relaxing stay. If I ever make it back to Eleuthera I’ll definitely stay with them again.

FABULOUS HOUSE ON THE BEACH!

This is a beautiful home in a lovely area right in South Palmetto Point. Spacious and fabulous, with a comfortable beds, nicely equipped kitchen, and cozy living room area., and the best part is the BEACH that is right out the front door! Definitely highly recommended! Skip and Sharon were a delight, although their home is on the property, they gave us our privacy and great conversations when we did see them.

Above expectations

The pictures on the internet do not do the cottage justice. We counted the people we saw on the beach during the seven days we were there; 8. Everyone of them spoke to us. Every interaction on the Island was pleasant and folks generally went out of their way to accommodate. Our host was most gracious and a wealth of local information which took away all the guesswork. We're headed back as soon as we can lock in a date.

What an amazing property!

Gorgeous location, beautiful property and friendly host! We could have spent our whole vacation at the house! Mornings and evenings were spent on the patio days in the water or lying on the beach! Tons of beach toys and kayaks and boats to use. The house was super cool and can be opened for 1 bedroom 2 or 3 bedrooms. We used 2 bedrooms and it was perfect for us! Great kitchen with all the utensils and pans you would need. Make sure you stop at Island Farm on the way in for chips and homemade salsa and cheese dip! Skip was a fabulous host who had great recommendations and island insights. Always there when we needed him but super respectful of our privacy. We would go back and stay with them in a heartbeat if we return to the island. Great location in Central Eleuthera for day trips up south and down north
