We came (2 couples) to Eleuthera for a wedding. We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Shanty! Great location, communication & just what you need for a stay on the island! Definitely a little rustic but was perfect for our group!
Perfect location for exploring the island north to south. Just right for my wife and I and our two sons. Pool and upstairs deck added bonus. Beach towels and chairs also a nice touch. Highly recommend if looking for clean space to launch day trips from.
Jethro was very welcoming and informative about the island. He was always available if we had any questions and even rescued us when we had a flat tire! Wonderful host! The charming house was also very clean and great location to beaches.
Had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and in working order. Had plenty of towels, chairs for the beach, and a couple of beach umbrellas. Jethro popped in to say hello and gave wonderful advice that made our trip even better. We would definitely stay again!
It was so joyful being with another couple and our dogs so close to the beach and services. The power went out and the host immediately showed up to make sure we had matches for candles, he said ‘it’ll likely comeback on shortly’. Lit candles were almost Immediately extinguished when the power returned. Crystal clear plunge pool. 5 gallons of water, amazing upper deck off master….much much more in a cozy space by the ocean. Thank you
The good: - The location in the middle of the island is ideal. The surrounding beaches are spectacular. However, access to the nearest beach requires walking through another property across the street. - There were plenty of towels and lots of beach gear provided.- The kitchenette was great for prepping small meals and snacks for the toddler in our group.- The owner was very responsive. The power went out a couple of times because of island-wide blackouts and we locked ourselves out once. We received immediate responses whenever we reached out.Room for improvement:- The pictures seem a bit dated. Though the space was clean, there is significantly more wear and weathering on all the furnishings. We also had a heavy rain during our stay and there was a puddle of water on the floor in both bedrooms. - The internet was not very reliable. And we had no cell service in the house.- While insects are expected in this setting, it would have been nice to have a zapper or swatter to get rid of flies and mosquitoes when we settled in for the night. We were covered in bites after just 3 days. There also appeared to be some sort of seasonal infestation of termites because of the rain. There were dozens of them in both rooms. It was very unnerving at night.
House was great. Had everything we needed. My daughter loved the pool after being in the ocean all day and when boredom hit she would take a dip. We enjoyed our stay!
Jethro was an amazing host! Will return! Property was perfect for my wife and I with our 5 year old son. House was clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
My husband and I visited the island for the first time.Sea Shanty was a great centrally located base for our beach vacation. Beach is beautiful and it was great to have a private pool.
Rustic but very comfortable in a great location. Perfect for what we wanted for a family of 5 getaway and New Year.Sunset cocktails on the upstairs terrace particularly memorable.
Sea Shanty was just what we needed for a quick weekend stay. Conveniently located on the island and our absolute favorite beach is right down the path across the street.

About the host
Hosted by Jethro Armstrong
My name is Jethro, and I and my family have lived in Eleuthera, on and off, for 18 years. We built this cottage for our family, as a quiet place near a beautiful beach. We know spend most of time living on a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands, so we rent Sea Shanty for most of the year.
