The are was beautiful and we had a great view and it was nice having the pool. It would have been nice if the pool had an outdoor shower or at least a water hose to rinse off with. Their was also no way to rinse off after coming home from the beach. The main sliders with the best view were broken and we could not open them. The AC in the middle room did not work so we had to bunk one of the kids with us. They had a washer and dryer and plenty of beach and snorkel gear. The house was was fine for for the last 5 days of our vacation but we would not book with this property again.

Awesome
The house was perfect and a good value. Clean, great view of the ocean, and good location. Owners were very responsive & helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
We loved the house, charming, very clean, great views... the only thing that would make it any better is more comfortable queen mattresses. We would absolutely recommend this house!

Loved it!
Great views. Easy walk to Hidden Beach. Tons of room!! Owners were accommodating. Would stay again and would rent from the owners again at any of their other properties.
Love love. I stayed here back in 2019 and I was excited to see they added a pool! The host was great with communication. Only minor issue was the water went out a few times while washing a load of clothes but I didn’t mind. Overall, great stay!
The house and pool (awesome) were just as shown on the website and had all the necessities. We enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean and cool breezes while relaxing on the deck. It was in a perfect location on the island, with easy access to north and south beaches and shops. Our border collie loved the fenced in yard and made new friends too! The hosts quickly responded to our questions and gave great recommendations for rental car, phones, etc. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
We spent a week at Sugar Apple and loved it! The location is great if you want to explore the entire island and it's very close to Rainbow Bay Beach, one of our favorites. The house itself is laid out well, with three separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a nice kitchen area and living room. It was perfect for our family of four, which includes two teenage boys. The pool is wonderful (and well-maintained), and we used it often after our daily adventures. The host was very responsive to a minor water problem, which was resolved almost immediately. We will definitely consider staying at Sugar Apple again when we return to Eleuthera. Highly recommended.
We had a very good time at the Sugar Apple house, and a positive experience.
The house isn’t the newest and definitely needs updating, but it is fully functional - including AC, washer/dryer and a reverse osmosis water filtration system (which was super handy to have for drinking water).
The dated house really didn’t effect us, as we spent most days out exploring the island. The location is great, and was close to all of our favorite areas of north Eleuthera.
Brianna was great to deal with and is very responsive.
The property certainly has everything you need for a comfortable stay: Cookware, dishware (even Christmas themed for the Holidays), towels, washer/dryer, starting essentials (dish soap, tp, paper towels). The AC worked great and the pool was lovely and extremely clean. The location is very convenient and has beautiful views overlooking the Atlantic and the Rainbow Bay beach park is a lovely 20-25 minute walk (5 min. drive) to a beautiful little beach on the Caribbean to take in stunning sunsets. Rainbow Bay Inn has a great restaurant and is only about a 5-7 minute drive and Big Rock convenience store is a simple 5-7 minute drive for any essentials you may need. Our only recommendation would be to provide a small amount of cleaner in the kitchen for cleaning kitchen and countertops and stovetop since we did a lot of cooking. We highly recommend bringing a cooler of frozen meats with you because it will save you a ton of money on food costs. Thank you for a lovely stay on this incredibly beautiful island!
My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) stayed here for 7 nights. Communication with the owners was excellent. They always replied quickly and gave helpful tips. We arrived at noon and needed to wait for the house cleaner to finish up. The owner gave us the perfect plan for how to spend our first few hours on the island.
We loved the location. It's close to Cravings (excellent bakery) and Rainbow Inn (great food and view). Within a 45 min drive (North and South), we had access to Gaulding Cay, Queen's Baths, Glass Window Bridge, Preacher’s Cave, Tay Bay, Gene's Dock, Twin Coves, Ten Bay, and Receiver's Beach (and more).
The pool! My kids spent every minute at the house in the pool. It was clean, refreshing, and deep enough for all of us to enjoy.
The house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other the whole time. AC worked well and cooled the rooms quickly on arrival. Furniture was clean and comfy, and all appliances worked.
Some reviews mention the house needing TLC...this is not touristy Nassau. Getting parts/replacements to the island is expensive and takes time. However, that's the trade-off for beautiful beaches that are practically empty. The electricity did go off frequently but never lasted long (maybe an hour). There was nothing about the house that affected our stay or made us regret renting it. We would definitely rent again!
We love staying at Sugar Apple! We are repeat renters because of the pool, the view of the gorgeous ocean, its central location, great indoor space, and the awesome responsiveness of the hosts! The local beaches, within walking distance from the house, are great for snorkeling, swimming, and beachcombing. Looking forward to next time!

Highly recommended! The house is large, open, clean & very well laid-out. Solid Wifi and AC units in every room. The pool alone makes it worth it. You are a 2 minute drive to Rainbow Bay Beach (which is arguably the best beach on the island). There's a grocery not too far away (I forget the name, but it is just south). The Cliffs are also nearby and Rainbow Bay is "centrally" located for road-trips north and south. Communication was good and the Security Deposit was returned in-full promptly. Great experience! If/when we return to Eleuthera, this is where we will stay.
This property is an incredible find. You can see the ocean from the house. We had an amazing stay at this house. The host was excellent and exceptionally helpful and clearly and quickly communicated. We highly recommend this house.

Sugar Apple
No bbq. Woefully undersupplied. Pans in poor condition. Only 3 beach chairs and too few towels. We were a group of 4. Entire cottage exterior needs paint. Peelings pain’t and deck boards with piping rusty nails made pool usage precarious. Outdoor table unusable due to feeling paint and rough condition. Many outdoor chairs cracked or broken.
My husband and I spend a month every winter on the island of Eleuthera and always stay in the rainbow bay area. This year we chose Sugar Apple.and absolutely loved it. The house is lovely and super comfortable... the views of the Atlantic are breathtaking, especially while relaxing by the pool. There are so many beaches and places to visit in the area. The location was perfect for awesome sightseeing and then to come home after exploring all day......make dinner and watch the cruise ships passing by while sitting on the deck, was a awesome way to end your day. Josette and Danelo are very helpful, kind people and attentive host's. We highly recommend!!
Very quiet place. Good water pressure. Lots of cupboard space. Grounds and home well maintained. Clean. Lots of space. Pool was great for cooling off. We would definitely book this home again! Excellent location and close to many amenities. Maintenance guy came to fill the pool. Very friendly. AC’s work great!
Fantastic island, welcoming house and managers always available to solve the problems that may arise.
Obviously consider that you are on an undeveloped island where everything is more laid back and the things move slower in an area with a lot of land,bushes and many dirt roads without streetlights.
Towards sunset the sand flies will keep you company swimming in the pool and leaving on your legs an indelible memory of the island with many bites.
Often there can be no electricity and this also means being left without water in the house,but after a couple of hours everything is resolved. It can happen that the inefficiency of the electricity supplier sometimes creates overvoltages to the network that can cause damage to both your devices and those inside the house (e.g. air conditioners) and if this happens during the weekend take into account that, despite the efficiency and industriousness of the property managers, the problem will not be resolved before 4-5 days. Don't try to complain to the owners because they will tell you that this is what can happen when you are in these beautiful but underdeveloped islands.
However,if I could I would pay this price again tomorrow to experience this magnificent island again.
Briana and her sister are excellent managers who always know how to give the right advice and try to be available to solve problems. However, they could sometimes be less business women and more women of heart when their guests are in an emergency situation.
We had such a nice time in sugar apple during our trip to Eleuthera. The location is ideal and the beaches are beautiful. The host were very helpful. We had a pressing question and they responded immediately and were able to answer. The house is roomy and was perfect, for the four of us, we would definitely stay again Wes and Mario loved hidden beach the most and spent so much time snorkeling.
We tried to cancel at the last minute having no possibility to be at the rental and once the card was processed, it was no longer the host’s problem, did not even answer my messages. Very disappointed, I use VRBO often and this was not good management. We’ll be on the island again next year but never booking there again even if it looked great on the pictures.
