We loved staying at this home on Eleuthera. The house was spacious, with a beautiful outdoor sun room to hang out in. The beach is right in your backyard, with plenty of amazing water sport equipment to use. My family of 11 (including 1 4 year old) had a great family vacation stop here. Perfect place to relax!

Eleuthera Vacation

We were very pleased with our stay at Parlay Sunset! It was a beautiful spot on the calm side of the island. It was so nice to have our own beach! The property was well taken care of. The cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay!

We were a group of 5 senior women spending a week in Parley at Sunset. Beautiful house, looked like the photos in the listing. The setting is great. We spent a lot of time in the water - you do NEED water shoes as there are some rocks and lots of shells which you want protection for. It's a great place if you're into shelling, as there are lots of them. The kitchen was ultra stocked in kitchenware and there were lots of towels, snorkling equipment, extra water shoes, but sprays, etc. The Bahama Room was by far the best room of the house. I would highly recommend this home for a vacation you won't want to leave.

Loved Parley at Sunset

We had a blast staying here, our first time on Eleuthera. The beach in front of the house was the best of anywhere on the island. We're coming back next year and hope to stay at the same house. Thank you for renting us your place.

The property was so beautiful and made you never want to leave! We enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal clear water right outside the backdoor and stargazing under the clear starlit sky while listening to the waves crash just feet from us. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and serene place to be! Diana the owner and Charles the property manager were so kind and helpful the entire trip from start to finish which made a perfect experience even better than we could have ever imagined.

What I loved best about this property is the location - a bungalow right on Tarpum Bay. The ocean is alive here, we saw dolphins, manta rays, jacks and lots of other fish. Excellent snorkeling and kayaking. Thanks to hosts Diana and Ryan, and thanks to caretakers Ken, Audrey and Kevin for taking such good care of my family and I.

Parlay at Sunset

Parlay at Sunset was a great stay. There were a few minor hiccups from the previous renters, but Charles the property manager took care of things within a timely manner. We had a wonderful stay, and the private beach area was serene and blissful. My family had fun shell hunting. I recommend Parlay at Sunset for your Tarpum Bay stay.
