Most relaxing vacation ever!

MariaA Eastern US
Review Submitted: July 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family of 4 loved Gail's house on Eleuthera. We were so sad when we had to leave. We really enjoyed the outside shower and nice flat backyard where we played soccer each day. The flowers and shrubs she's planted are beautiful as is the wrap-around front deck with all the shells that past visitors have left for others to enjoy. Make sure you talk to John Burrows downtown for fresh fish. Maybe he'll take you on an exciting snorkeling excursion! This is a relaxing vacation where Gail has left lots of books for daily reading.

The Perfect Vacation House

Don & Vicki Lake Leelanau,MI
Review Submitted: April 24, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Staying on the island was our first time and it could not have been nicer. We had spent the last two years on Abaco and found Eleuthera to be much more relaxing and friendlier. Prior to our arrival, Gail had everything prepared right down to having a vehicle in the driveway. Being in contact with her over the winter months she would email us with lots of good information regarding things to do and places to go which was very helpful. We loved working with her and found she is most efficient. After arriving at Jasmine on Wykee Estates on 3-7-09 we thought we had just entered paradise. A beautiful two bedroom house that was full of hibiscus and bougainvilla..for our welcome! What a nice touch!! Beautifully decorated and very clean. The housekeeper, Kathy, prides herself on taking good care of everything inside. The grounds of the estate are just gorgeous. A freshwater pool, that was also very clean,made for a nice "laid back: spot to read, relax and swim. Corty, who is the caretaker of the estate was so nice and very accommodating. If we needed anything, including a fishing rod!, he provided it and always with a smile.We so enjoyed Jasmine with all of its amenities including a very comfortable king size bed and an outside shower. What comfort! Showering in open air with the bougainvillea and hibiscus hanging overhead along with a view of palm trees and the ocean just doesn't get any better! The backyard area is so very private but so beautiful with all of the foliage. Each evening we either sat outside to "star gaze" or relaxed on the wonderful, large screened in verandah with lovely, comfortable deck furniture. Enjoyed many day trips getting to know the island. We found that everywhere we went the "locals" were so friendly and helpful. There are many events to attend. One was a wonderful Friday night fish fry held on the beach in Governors Harbour but watch out for the "Rum Bubbas"...they are wicked!! We enjoyed a great dinner and an evening of Rake-n-Scrape at Tippy's, a Sunday afternoon BBQ at Captain Jack's and outstanding Italian food at Cocodimama. Saving the best for last...are all of the beautiful beaches we had visited during our three week stay. Just breathtaking!! We encountered very few people on most of them. Sometimes our footprints were the only ones!! Our plans are to return to this very special island and its people. We would highly recommend a vacation stay on Eleuthera and being pampered at Jasmine!!

Jasmine The Dream House

2 Squirrels Jacksonville, FL
Review Submitted: February 16, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
How did we love it?????????????

Let us count the ways:
The house was a beautiful, sunny and sparkling clean...PARADISE, just as you promised!
We loved breakfasting on the lovely porch overlooking the ocean!
We took every shower in the outside shower... looking up at palms, hummers and flowers!
We snuggled in our comfortable bed, reading books we never get around to reading!
We swam in the shining pool and walked the marvelous beach!
We loved every minute of every day and it's all thanks to you and Jasmine!
Best for Couples only as the house is small and don't be surprised that you are near other houses...but in a lovely, well-tended community.

Great and wonderful house.

Jean Christopher North Bethesda
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
It is a great and nice house with a beautiful garden. The first day, I saw a couple of whales from the living room.
It is a perfect place from where you can visit Eleuthera (North and south).
I love this house.

Charming Island Home

JB&A Portland, OR
Review Submitted: July 7, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
From the moment we crossed the threshold we felt at home. Jasmine House is beautiful and the extra touches (like the flowers everywhere) and all the home comforts: music, well stocked cupboards and drawers full of all the pots, pans, plates and utensils we needed, as well as the towels, coolers, snorkel gear etc… made it really easy to enjoy our short stay to the max. Loved the outdoor shower, especially at night when the stars are incredible. The screened in porch is lovely.

The owner's list of contacts and directions were invaluable. She thought of everything! The beach is FANTASTIC!! We LOVED the island and the people! Everyone was so friendly and laid back… just what the doctor ordered for a vacation. We’re definitely going to try and make it back but for longer next time! I would not hesitate to recommend Jasmine for a vacation.

We needed wireless (currently only dial-up at Jasmine)... and there was wireless access at the library and at the Cigatoo Quality Inn in the public areas… so we were able to tap in while we had breakfast there one morning.

The owner told me that her plans for Jasmine this July include a wireless router and a double bed in the back bedroom (to replace the sleep sofa) as well as a hammock in the yard. All will be great additions.

Restaurants we enjoyed: Dolce Vita, Tippy's. Also, Sunset for great (and cheap) conch fritters.
