INCREDIBLE!!

The common word that came to my head during our stay was INCREDIBLE! The house comes with everything you need. I must say I have family who likes a cold environment so the one air conditioner made me nervous but if you followed the instructions provided the house stayed cool during the day and the bedrooms would cool with the house at night. You don't even have to leave the house if you don't want to. It is like a self-service resort. My teenagers even had a great time. We saw so much sea life during our stay I had to make a list so I did not forget! The water, the sunsets, the view, the solitude, the sounds of nature, the space in the house....everything was absolutely wonderful. The owner and caretaker treat you like family and are very responsive. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

A great 8-day stay at Mission Bay Cottage

A perfect getaway, so quiet and peaceful yet with easy access to north and south island hot spots for snorkeling, eating and more. We’ll be back! The house has all you need.

Wow!!

This place was so amazing! The pictures really don't do it justice. It is steps from the beach, the sunsets from the dock or the deck are unreal. Jennifer was quick with communication and just as helpful as anyone could be. The island really is unspoiled, miles of beaches with few people in site. Be prepared for bugs, and you can't get around without a car. This is one of the most laid back places we have ever been to.

About the host

Hosted by Ray Haskett

First and foremost - I am a husband, father, and grandfather! I love my hometown in South Carolina and have worked to make a positive impact throughout my career on the lives of residents and on the community. I still enjoy a good Appalachian State Football game with the guys who were teammates with me back when we played college ball. I lead a worship service at the local retirement home on Sunday mornings. I love picking a guitar and singing with friends and family every chance I get.

(Written by a proud daughter because dad would never brag about these things himself!)

Why they chose this property

Over the years, I have led numerous mission trips to the Island of Eleuthera, many of which had a "home base" in Tarpum Bay. Our group has worked both independently and alongside of other churches and youth groups to help those in need on Eleuthera. In doing so, we have built deep and lasting relationships with friends who have long since become family. ...folks who have flown up to SC to attend all three of my children's weddings and be a part of other key life events.

I was given a wonderful opportunity to buy this land and build a home on the island for my family to enjoy. Each time we come back down to Eleuthera, it is like coming home again! After a few years of only being able to enjoy Eleuthera when work and school schedules would allow, we decided to open our home up for you to be able to enjoy the island as much as we always have! Eleuthera means freedom! Come visit! Feel freed from the stresses of life. Find a new place to call home just like we have. Tell them that you are staying at Unca Ray's place!

What makes this property unique

This home has waters like nowhere else in the world. Calm. Clear. Shallow. Tons of beautiful and exciting sea life to see while snorkeling the reef, but nothing that will scare a novice out of the water. The views are breathtaking. The sunset each night is prettier than the day before. Kayaks are provided for an experience that cannot be put into words! You have the entire beach to yourself almost 100% of the time. The people of Eleuthera are among the friendliest in the world and will make you feel genuinely welcome on the island. ...but don't take our word for it. Find out for yourself!
