Had a wonderful vacation…the property is very well taken care of and definitely on one of the best beaches on the island for walking/swimming etc. Kind of a magical place at nite with the houses located back in the palm trees. And definitely a pink sand beach all to yourself. Thanxs for sharing your wonderful home.

10/10

Great spot. House is private and the beach location is great for either in water or beach activities. Check in/out was smooth as well. Spent a week here with our three kids (between 6 and 11) and everyone loved it.

Such a beautiful place - the pictures do not do it justice! We had an amazing stay with our family - plenty of room to spread out, very clean and well appointed, and so comfortable. The beach is amazing and quiet, and the water to the left of the rock formation is perfect for swimming. The owner has thought of everything needed for a great stay - plenty of fluffy towels, blankets, pillows, beach equipment, etc. We hope to come back again someday soon!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I just returned from our 7th trip to Eleuthera. We enjoy trying different house rentals. Rocks Retreat ranks as one of our favorites. While it does not have full water view the path to the water is both easy and enjoyable. We have not experienced privacy like this home offers. There was not a single item we needed ( except food items) during our 10 day stay that was not available in the home. Decor is welcoming bed in master comfortable linens better than most all the beach needs. Best is the absolute privacy. Caregiver answered all emails quickly house was very clean.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The main house kitchen was very well equipped with high end knives and cookware! Appliances were so-so, but functional and in good working order. Beds in both buildings were comfortable and had nice linens. The grounds were well kept, and the walk to the beach was not too long. The beach was spectacular! Snorkeling and swimming were excellent. The air conditioner in the main house really isn't big enough to cool both up and down stairs. The air conditioner in the guest house/master suite is very good. I think this property is very nice and well worth the money. The caretaker, Marsha, was extremely helpful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We sold our businesses a few years ago and bought an RV to travel around North America. Before we picked it up we were surprised to find out we were expecting an addition to the family so we headed out in the van to get in what we could before we welcomed our son into the world. During that time Covid became a thing in our world so we locked ourselves in for a couple of years. During that time we decided we would book a vacation for a couple of months in January 2022 truly thinking the pandemic would be over. As time grew closer our parents all had some health issues including one with covid and covid was not letting up. We were back and forth on whether to go or not but in the end we went for it. We could not have made a better decision. Kristin booked us the absolute perfect place for our family and friends to enjoy. The property was insanely private with us all enjoying outdoor showers daily and basically the most beautiful private beach you could dream of. We did some fishing and went and saw sea turtles a couple of times but otherwise we were fully content to be at Rocks Retreat. Marsha who handles the property is an incredible lady and our son absolutely adored her. Thank you to all of you for making this experience absolutely amazing.

Last minute broken wrist caused us to have to stay home. Owners would not exchange or give us credit for a different date, which was a disappointment. Get the insurance if you want to book here, no exceptions.

We particularly loved the two different buildings.The grounds were beautifully kept, and it is located directly on an amazing beach location. The home was set back a little from the ocean- it was private and very peaceful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals at home. We hope to stay here again next year.

We had 3 teens who stayed in the main house & my husband & I stayed in the apartment. it was the perfect set up- dinners & movies together in the main house & we all had our own spaces to sleep. the location and beach were stunning. Most days we had this beach & many others to ourselves. Rental company and caretaker were extremely helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love this house so much!!! Rocks Retreat is amazing! I’ve been coming to Eleuthera 11 years and stayed all over the island. I think the location is perfect. It’s close to Governors for restaurants and grocery shopping, and between Tippy’s and La Bougainville so convenient for dinners out or a beachside lunch. It’s easy to fly into GHB airport. The house is incredibly private because the acreage and sits directly on the most beautiful beach. It feels close to nature. There is a Venus pond right in front of the house that’s created by the rocks and tide. The home has peekaboo views of the ocean and you can hear the waves. Because it doesn’t sit directly ocean front it’s more protected from the wind and other elements we found this really relaxing. The floorplan and layout is a little unusual, but not uncommon for Bahamas cottages. The description is accurate. There is a house with kitchen, dining, living room and bunk room on the second floor. It feels more like a cabin. The master is a separate structure and was incredibly comfortable. The layout is a king bed with small sitting room. The bed is awesome and very comfortable. Going between the main house and primary suite is a little strange, but not a big deal. We loved this house and can’t wait to book again. Don’t think twice stay here!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Relaxing at the rocks just what we needed! Beautiful property - well maintained for a relaxing vacation. This is an older home with comfortable amenities - fans throughout the house and comfy outdoor furniture. A short walk to the beach..... a mile walk to the wonderful Tippys Restaurant!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is really good with lots of space and a 5 minute walk to the secluded beach. The property is well stocked and has everything you could need. The only downside was that there were a lot of wasps, and also mosquitoes inside the big house, so I would recommend better fumigation / pest control. There were also some blinds missing in the upstairs room and some maintenance is needed. Overall, we liked it and had a good time.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property has two buildings - the main house (kitchen facilities & 3 beds upstairs) and the master suite cottage (single large bed - very comfortable - we slept here). It's a short walk to the beach from the house along a private path. The property fronts onto the beach near some large rocks that form a natural barrier. You can go down to the beach on either side so it's like having access to 2 beaches - since we were looking for seclusion we chose the side with fewer or no people. Everything in the house was functional that we tried (oven, fridge), although the AC remote controls were a little hard to figure out. Overall, a very nice place - we would definitely go back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What can we say, it was the perfect place to spend three weeks with the family. The kids loved it, we loved it. A quick stroll to the beach everyday, but having all that property to explore and birwatch was fantastic. Location is perfect, right in north Palmetto Point but feeling like you are out in the bush! The houses were well stocked with everything that we needed. All the appliances were in great shape, the beds were comfortable, and the furniture was in great shape. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay, and look forward to coming back.

Loved this property. Was just as advertised. Beach was beautiful, house was great, loved the dual Sonos systems that we could connect to play music from. Well stocked with everything we needed for basics plus some bonus items. GREAT Wi-Fi, which was an important part of why we stayed with them. If you want a great place that's quiet, right on a beautiful beach, but still has great privacy, this is the place to rent!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 8th time on Eleuthera, and third separate rental. This house is nice and offers everything one would need to enjoy Eleuthera. The house is set back from the beach by about 100-150 yards, so don't expect to easily see the beach from the front porch. However, the beach and its unique "cove" geology are certainly awesome and worth the slight inconvenience of line of sight from the house. I do wish there was a welcome basket with some basic essentials like I've experienced in other houses. Only other slight was no TV (for watching football), but knew that going in. Overall, property was in good shape and had everything one would want to enjoy. The rental next door (on the rocks) had two families with lord of the flies-type kids that overran the beach (and rocks retreat private property) at times, but that is certainly not fault of owners. Marsha (manager) was responsive. Will likely be back ...

10/10

This place is awesome! I have been to Eleuthera 3 times this year and this is the best place of them all! Beautiful beach just steps away from the house. Beautiful stars at night and great spot for fishing. Sunrises are unbelievable with a large rock on the beach to watch them from on the beach every morning so you don’t get sandy if you don’t want to.

We were so happy with our stay at Rocks Retreat. Very clean. Very secluded. Short walk to the amazing beach. We snorkled and saw many beautiful fish right off the beach. So much beauty here! We fell asleep listening to the waves while relaxing on the loungers by the house our first day there! We didn't want to leave. Everything you need for a wonderful beach vacation was available at the house. The only thing we missed was a beach umbrella... This is a must stay place! We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Marsha for your availability to answer our questions so quickly!🏝🌞❤

The house and cottage are spacious and comfortable and the 12 acre property is very private and beautiful. I could easily imagine that we were the only people on the island!
