Luxury & Comfort
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 enjoyed a much needed, restful stay at Gumbo Limbo. After 10 days we were sad to be leaving what we decided was the a top 2 vacation house experience we’ve ever had!!Everything was perfect, from the location, the heated pool, the cleanliness.But what set this house apart from many other homes we have stayed in was the amazing comfort throughout the house.From the bed, to the various seating throughout the inside of the house.But our favorite spot was the covered outdoor porch with com, high quality seating. A+!The beach was across the street and the house had many beach chairs and accessories.We highly recommend this home and will be back!

Just little details
Our stay was great in general. We enjoyed it and loved the proximity to the beach. We have been to Eleuthera many times over the years and generally know what to expect. Only a couple of areas for suggested improvement: 1) Pool seemed to have remnants of a sealant or plastic protective covering or something delaminating. It made the pool experience less than optimal. 2) The outdoor front and rear porch ceiling fans didn't work. That is an important part of sitting outside in the heat that made spending time outside a challenge for us. 3) Typically we assume a base level of soap and shampoo are provided(like a hotel size) when renting a place of this level. We often don't pack those items because they are usually provided. There were no toiletries provided and it's hard to find those things conveniently on the island so not an ideal situation. 4) The recommended car rental company was less then desireable. The car was very old, AC worked only on full high fan, radio didn't work, generally worn out. I saw many rentals on the island that were top notch and newer and will be sure an pursue one of those in the future. I suggest you recommend those sources as well.

Beautiful house with some limitations
Overall had a wonderful stay at Gumbo Limbo, however, be aware that this house does not have an operating generator, and power outages occurred every other day while we were there. Can be a bit uncomfortable in 90+ degree heat. Outdoor fans are also inoperable, as is the outdoor shower. No outdoor gas grill, only charcoal, limiting with charcoal being $30 a bag. Good beach gear, aside from no snorkel masks. Good location, just down the road from Tippy’s, with fairly easy beach access across the road.
