Eleuthera Vacation

We were very pleased with our stay at Parlay Sunset! It was a beautiful spot on the calm side of the island. It was so nice to have our own beach! The property was well taken care of. The cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay!

We had a blast staying here, our first time on Eleuthera. The beach in front of the house was the best of anywhere on the island. We're coming back next year and hope to stay at the same house. Thank you for renting us your place.

Tarpon Bay Beach Paradise

The property was so beautiful and made you never want to leave! We enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal clear water right outside the backdoor and stargazing under the clear starlit sky while listening to the waves crash just feet from us. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and serene place to be! Diana the owner and Charles the property manager were so kind and helpful the entire trip from start to finish which made a perfect experience even better than we could have ever imagined. We can’t wait to come back!

Paradise

Me and my family (9 in all) visited Parlay at Sunset for a week and everything was amazing! Diana provides so much good information before your stay and it was all very helpful. Check in was easy and communication with Diana and the property manager Charles was always prompt. The house is upgraded and has everything you could need. We had 9 adults but the house still felt spacious and open and never cramped. The beach is awesome and everything you could want. Sprawling powdery sand with lots of lounge chairs, tables and shade under the gazebo. The swimming area is pristine with a mix of rock and sand in various layers which made it nice for swimming and for snorkeling. We saw a few rays, lobster, fish, conch, jellyfish, squid, starfish, etc, it was magical. We also happened to be there during Homecoming so we met so many nice people in Tarpum Bay and Rock Sound. Can't wait to go back!

Parlay at Sunset

Parlay at Sunset was a great stay. There were a few minor hiccups from the previous renters, but Charles the property manager took care of things within a timely manner. We had a wonderful stay, and the private beach area was serene and blissful. My family had fun shell hunting. I recommend Parlay at Sunset for your Tarpum Bay stay.

We stayed at Parlay at Sunset 11/12-11/17. The home is huge and beautiful! I was almost sad we had such a large space for 3 people... almost! The yard and beach are gorgeous!We never saw anyone else on the "private" beach. Charles made sure we were well taken care of and even brought us homemade punch and rum! We will be back!!

Great stay in Tarpum Bay

We absolutely loved our stay at Parlay at Sunset! The house was great! Loved the layout, the recent updates and amenities in the house. The beach is great! It’s better at high tide when the rocks are covered as you walk in but once you get past them, it is smooth and beautiful! You can walk out pretty far before it even touches your waist. The sunsets there are gorgeous! Definitely take bug spray though! The little “no see ‘ems” are all over the island at night. I’ve stayed at a few places and always had them. Any issues we had with the house were promptly taken care of by the house manager, Charles, or the house owner, Diana. I appreciate both of them for their prompt responses and follow up communication. We used several vendors the house owner recommended and I am so glad we did. All were wonderful! I would definitely stay here again!

Grateful for Parlay at Sunset

Few properties anticipate vacationers' needs as thoroughly as this one. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beach area was like a mini resort, the property manager was available to us and handled any issues quickly, its proximity to Tarpum Bay helped us meet wonderful people and get fresh fish, lobster, and conch salad, and the small market in town met our needs. Children are clearly welcomed here with a clean, charming play area. They even had enough laundry hampers and towels for a large, busy family. Just remember to bring water shoes and your insect repellent of choice--you will likely need these wherever you go in Eleuthera anyway. Such wonderful memories were made!

Excellent Property

Our family rented this property for a quick stay on Eleuthera. The property manager and staff were responsive and very helpful in arranging a car rental for our stay. The location is fantastic and the photos of the beach don't do the property justice as you have a lot of privacy. The property was very clean and fully equipped for your stay. We would definitely stay here again.

What I loved best about this property is the location - a bungalow right on Tarpum Bay. The ocean is alive here, we saw dolphins, manta rays, jacks and lots of other fish. Excellent snorkeling and kayaking. Thanks to hosts Diana and Ryan, and thanks to caretakers Ken, Audrey and Kevin for taking such good care of my family and I.

We did parlay at sunset ;)

Parlay at Sunset is a great villa. I was amazed how much rooms and space we had. Many bedrooms, sofas, kitchen appliances, etc. On the first day when we reached the patio, we saw the beach setup with all the kayaks, paddle boards , we knew we made the right choice. This villa is spacious, clean, directly on the beach. Just amazing !
