Summary: This was my 4th time staying on Eleuthera and by far the best trip we’ve had, largely due to this property. We had a large group, 17 staying at Lush Life and another 10 staying at a property nearby. The house was immaculate upon arrival and we had several of those “better than the pictures moments” across the group when we walked in. It’s obvious the owners take exceptional care of the property. There was more than enough space for kids and adults to spread out, and despite being one of the best beaches on the island, we basically had the entire stretch of sand to ourselves all week. Because of the small island nearby, the beach area offered protection from the current and wind so that our children could swim and snorkel safely, and we actually found that the reef structures surrounding the island were teeming with life. Dominic and Joy were true professionals and highly responsive each time we had a question. In short, if you are looking for a premier property on Eleuthera, look no further.
