It was wonderful. The house location and beach provided us all with a great getaway. The agent matt simon was very responsive and helpful. The caretaker Lady Di and our cooks Patrick and Brenda were great. Issues to be attended to: dish washer doesn'y clean, one guest shower inoperable, master bath sink clogges.

We had such a wonderful time, the beach is beautiful, the island is such a nice getaway for a family with young children, and the house was perfect for two families of 4 and 3. We can't wait to come back!

We stayed at Moonflower over spring break this year. There were 2 families, both with kids, and the house was perfect. The adults stayed in the rooms on each end of the house, with their own bathrooms and the kids stayed in the middle 2 rooms, with a bath that they shared. We caught fresh fish and the kitchen had everything we needed to create many delicious meals at the home. We snorkeled everyday (bring your gear!) and the beach in the backyard was breath taking, so many beautiful fish and water that will take your breath away! The water is very shallow and therefore is great for kids and floating in a float! There are only a few houses along the beach so it was very private. The house has a wonderful living room and everyone had plenty of space to relax. We played games and puzzles on the large dining room table and the washer and dryer were a life saver. The island of Eleuthra is such a natural beauty, we explored from north to south and each day was amazing! We all agreed that this was the best trip we have ever taken.

Everything was good except the beach in front of our house is also a public access beach and there were quite a few people there which is the opposite of what we look for and the reason we choose outer islands

Eleuthera has a very chilled vibe, people very friendly, children unfailingly polite, very few tourists although it was the end of the season when we visited. Beaches are beautiful. If you want to get away from it all, whilst still having access to civilisation you cant do much better than Eleuthera. Food is expensive,approximately 2 x prices in UK, and don't expect the choice you might be used to at home. Moonflower itself is suited to the overall feeling of the island, very relaxed, plenty of room, comfortable and nicely appointed without being blingy. There were a few things which could do with updating / replacing but nothing serious. There is a decent sized garden surrounding the house, but you will spend all your time on the beach which is really beautiful. The water is shallow, crystal clear and sheltered from the prevailing wind. If you like to snorkel, Gaulding Cay is nice, we saw Nassau Groupers, a big snapper, a huge eagle ray, schools of Blue Runners, angel fish, and big shoals of silversides. There isn't much coral but what there is is in good condition. Twin Sisters beach to the North also has a couple of Cays, also good snorkelling and we saw lobster, puffer fish and moray eels on both. The best snorkelling is to the South - take the canoes past Kravitz beach, a small rock breaks the surface at the end of the cliffs. From here onwards it's really good - massive rays, morays, turtles, nice coral. Other good things - the Sapphire Hole about 1/2 mile on the right before you reach Preachers Caves, great fun. Harbour Island - golf carts, cracked conch and beer on the beach. Daddy Joes restaurant. Breakfast at the Cove ($25 per head relatively good value). All the beaches. Lady Di and her lovely family. Great memories.
