Beautiful Bahama-vention Destination

Pandles Atlanta, GA
Review Submitted: May 13, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
Beautiful home located right on the caribbean! Perfect deck location for watching the most beautiful sunset ever! The home is extremely accomodating and no details were left out (including an outdoor shower). Very private and very quiet! I enjoyed being able to lay out on the beach on the Atlantic side AND the Caribbean side....on the SAME day! How cool is that? The home is very clean and comfortable....not many vacation homes have an Eames Lounge and Ottoman! Friday night fish fry is a must! As is buying fish from the local fishermen. I don't remember where, but when you turn out of the house, turn right and you will find the fishermen. Lobster fresh out of the water....and CHEAP (delicious as well)! I highly recommend this if you are looking for a peaceful, serene, beautiful destination for your Bahama-vention!!!
Owner's Response: I'm so glad you loved your stay and look forward to having you as a guest again. New for next year we'll have high speed internet at the house, a diving board at the water front and much more!!

We really enjoyed our stay at 2 Sisters. The view is amazing! The house is very clean and wonderfully decorated. We felt so at home. We can't wait to go back. Some of the best beaches we have ever seen are located within minutes of the house. Snorkeling right out front is great also.

Laid Back, Romantic, Quiet...Still Exciting

Fritsie Charleston, SC, USA
Review Submitted: August 30, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
I thought the plane ride from Fla. to the Island was beautiful. As you get closer to the island you really can't tell when the blue water stops and the sky starts, and then you look down and see waves crashing on the island and it is really exciting. Even the airport was cool. It is small and relaxed like nothing you could ever find in the States. Then we drove from the airport a little ways and reached the town of Governors Harbour and thought "okay, pretty sure this is a movie set." The water was so blue and the buildings are pink, yellow, light blue, but it was indeed real... we drove past with an exciting feeling about what might be next.
When we reached the driveway to the house it was a kind of a dirt road and now we thought "uh, maybe this was a wrong turn" but we went around a couple curves into the driveway and the house was so cool. I still felt a little nervous excitement, I mean it was a house by a beautiful sea and nobody around, a new environment to say the least. But we got settled in and it was awesome. There is a spiral staircase on the porch from the bottom to top level, but on the inside there is like a ladder from the bottom floor up into the top floor, we thought that was cool. I sat outside and read 2 books in 5 days (I had not read 2 books in the last 2 years). Diving off the back deck was really fun, and there is a little reef right out back with some cool fish. We drove up to a beach one day and rented surf boards and tried surfing but the waves were kind of big so that was an experience, but still really fun. And on Friday there was a fish fry party in Governors Harbour with lots of food and drinks and good people. They were saying that it is a weekly happening on Friday nights. The place was really really neat and we were lucky to have a cool place like this to go to which was not far from the east coast.

rest for the senses

Bippyp Baltimore Maryland
Review Submitted: June 12, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
Have stayed at 2 Sisters twice, once with friends, once with spouse. Comfortable, all conveniences of home, private, beautifully quiet. The two sisters who own it have personally taken time to build, furnish and decorate the house. The small bay you see in the pics is deep, clear and full of life. Snorkel in the morning, read tons, short distance from white non-populated beaches, local life, ferrys to other islands.

Prepackaged food is expensive as all shipped in but that is the worst of it - organic farm short drive - fresh veggies and fruit, fresh baked bread twice a week, as well as sauces, chutneys, pestos from farm ingredients. 2 sisters has full kitchen so cooked great dinners most nights. Dry goods and some foods can be brought in check on bag - helps with food costs.

Great quaint local library has internet access if you HAVE to. 2 sisters keeps a cell there for emergencies if yours doesn't work there. Minutes are expensive. Car rental possible straight from small airport. Rentals are heavily used. We handed them cash and left the keys under the mat when we returned to the airport. Yes, it is that local, approachable and locals largely know each other. Do Tip.

If you are a cruise lover or an all inclusive type- this is a comfortable home-like dwelling in a beautiful, breathtaking, natural setting. If you are the aforementioned, you likely won't be reading this anyway but know there is a certain amt. of hands on here. Restaurants are expensive so meals were part of the hands on for us. Local liquor store on way from airport. Beer a bit pricey - we were rum buyers. When in Rome. If weather is good, waters calm, local fish available.

Beaches largely have very few folks so be smart about where and when you swim. Don't underestimate currents. Sun is strong. Bring strong sunscreen and deet for noseeums. They can be tough at given seasons.

Plane ride from Ft. Laud is short - bout an hour. Small plane - aisle with seat on either side. No overhead, no bathroom. FYI if those small planes freak you out. Overall, pretty easy to get to. There is no highly commercial area close by so if you are a big night lifer on vaca, you will be driving to find some.

Lots of nature, lots of beauty, lots of no sirens, few motors, an all around break for the senses. As a city dweller, this was a rest for the soul. You can hear yourself think for a change. You can slow down and recharge. Sunsets stunning. Loved 2 Sisters!

Spectacular getaway spot

Hortie Virgina, USA
Review Submitted: May 16, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
As you arrive in the driveway and catch a glimpse of the amazing azure colored bay, you feel the pressure and stress of work start to melt away.
The house is efficient and well appointed, the design and colors work perfectly with the site.
in addition to the amazing view of the Caribbean, complete with sunsets, this house affords maximum privacy.
It is spotless, and has a well equipped kitchen.

I loved buying fruit and veggies from local growers, and loved their spicy sauce.

Eleuthera is magical spot for those who value raw beauty, and want to have an entire beach to themselves.

As you turn over to sleep,The sounds of the sea pounding on the rocks acts as your lullaby.

It must be seen.
