This was our family's first vacation to Eleuthera and we couldn't have picked a better home to rent. Bahama Mama is exactly like the pictures, only better in person. It is decorated in a fun and eclectic decor that highlights the home and the natural beauty of the outdoors. The beds and pillows were super comfortable (we even searched for tags on the pillows but to no avail), ample storage and lovely furnishings throughout. We have stayed at many, many vacations homes over the years and this is at the top. I refer to Bahama Mana like I do Wegman's grocery store - if they don't have it, I don't need it. There were plenty of chairs, rafts, floats, coolers, umbrellas, towels, candles, matches, etc. Basically, everything you could need or want.
The owner was fabulous when we had a few questions, as were Linda (house manager) and her daughter. We felt so taken care of! The outside shower was divine and great to shower before coming inside. We took golf cart rides, at at the near-by Sky Club (food was excellent, staff super nice - a little pricey but so convenient). the beach is spectacular, the pool is huge and clean. Honestly, it was one of the best homes we have ever rented and it's obvious the owner considers this a home and not just a vacation rental.
The kitchen was very well appointed, with enough pots, pans dishes, silverware and glasses to feed an army. Oh, and the two dishwashers are genius - one for each kid to be in charge of - no more arguments - they each had one :)
The screen porch deserves its own paragraph because it was that delightful. Furniture was super comfy (new outdoor lounge chairs were delivered when we were there - so the owner definitely keeps everything in excellent working condition) and we all loved the "sleeping corner". We read, ate, napped, played games and loved the breeze. We initially picked this home for the porch and it did not disappoint.
Oh, and Eleuthera is pretty sweet too! Definitely hit the food truck in front of Burrow's Grocery store (the store was also well stocked ) for breakfast on your way to the beaches. The burrito was awesome, as were the smoothies and pancakes, and prices are very good. I wish we had thought to do this sooner - they also have lunch. I believe the owner operates when her children are in school so open something like 8:30-3:00. You won't be disappointed
We booked already for next year and added more days because it's that good.
