Poponi itself was absolutely lovely. Very clean, spacious, lovely grounds, and we enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch each morning while we made plans for the day. We enjoyed relaxing after a day of sightseeing and beachcombing in the living room, family room, and even made dinner one night with the fresh produce we got from a local farmer.If you are considering renting this home, there are a few "beware" items to consider. On the first day we arrived after being at our local airport at 3am, rushing through the Miami airport to catch our connection, waiting in the heat at our arrival at the north Eleuthera airport, loading our bags, navigating the rough and narrow roads for more than an hour, and finally finding the right (very rough) road to turn on to get to Poponi, we wanted to cool down and put our feet up for a bit. Missy quickly came down and told us that we should try to not use the A/C because energy is VERY expensive in Eleuthera. And it was "IN THE CONTRACT" that she could charge us even more if we used it. We let her know we were tired and hot and were not planning to leave it on or go away from the house without turning it off. Her response to us being hot was "well...you ARE in the Bahamas". Also, only one of the bedrooms had an A/C unit.Another "beware" is about toilet paper and drinking water. Poponi has two bathrooms, but you are allotted ONE ROLL of toilet paper per bathroom per week. When we asked if we could get another roll, she told us that we "RENTED THE HOUSE ONLY AND IT IS IN THE CONTRACT" and we would need to go to the store to purchase additional rolls of TP. We bought a four pack ($4). Also, we were allotted one five-gallon jug of drinking water for four people for a one week stay. Again, we asked about getting another one and were referred to the grocery store to purchase one ($6) because it was "IN THE CONTRACT". She did, however, come down to give restaurant and beach suggestions.
