Our family really enjoyed our stay at Whel-Appointed. It lived up to all we expected after reading glowing reviews from other guests. The home is comfortable and the wrap around porches are perfect for getting out of the sun, catching a breeze and taking in the beautiful surroundings. The walk to the beach is very enjoyable and visiting the Beach House for tapas and cocktails is a must. Thursday night there's live music at The Beach House. The local band, the Rum Runners were fantastic. The location is perfect with such a wonderful beach right in front of the house. Tippy's isn't too far either, which we highly recommend. Saturday nights Tippy's has live music as well. Governors Harbour is just a quick jaunt down the road and a great place to buy fresh fish at the dock. It's convenient to pick up side dishes at the grocery store, ice cream at Norma's, and fresh baked goods at the local bakery. Three of our four favorite beaches were within 20 minutes of the house. Coastal Treasures gift shop which is on the road down from the house was a delight.
Owner's Response: Thank you for sharing your Island experience. We also enjoy the Beach House and Michele, the restaurant owner really appreciates your business - we just talked with her on Saturday of this past week! We are glad that you found our home comfortable and that you agreed with prior reviews; your comfort and positive vacation experience is very important to us. Just let us know if we can be of service in the future. Take care, Michele and David

It Really is Better in the Bahamas!

First off, the "Whel Appointed" home is unimaginably gorgeous. Throughout our 1-week stay, we constantly tried to think of things the home DIDN'T have, and we didn't come up with much. Photos don't do it justice- it really is THAT beautiful. In my opinion (and as a 6-time voyager to the Bahamas), this is the best rental deal on the islands. It's just breathtakingly beautiful.

I don't know where to start, but here goes! The home is maybe 50 yards from the beach. You cross a tiny, paved road, and you're on the sand, then it's just a 1 minute walk to the ocean. It's perfect.

A word of advice about the beaches on Eleuthera: French Leave bbeach (where the house is) is easily one of the best beaches on the island or even on the other islands. We went to Ten Bay Beach, Receiver's Beach, Harbor Island, and even Lighthouse Beach at the very Southern tip, and French Leave has got them beat. It's unbelievable to have the entire beach to yourself (as we did most of the time we were there). One last tip: the pink sand on french Leave is actually more plentiful and colorful than the "famous" pink sand beaches on Harbor island on the north tip of Eleuthera! Dont waste your time.

I've realized you can't write about Eleuthera and do it justice. You really need to come here and visit. Whel Appointed is in a perfect location; far enough from the fray at Governor's Harbor, but close enough to get there in a couple of minutes. The nights are silent, and a real treat is leaving the doors and windows open and just sleeping to the sounds of the island.

David (the home's owner) is a fantastic resource. Text him or email him - even after you arrive - and he will get you whatever answer you need. In actuality almost everything you need to know is in the large notebook david provides for his guests. It has all kinds of restaurant ideas, hints and tips, places to go, beaches, etc. The house has everything you could need to cook your own meals, snorkel, lounge at the beach, dive, drive the island, or just about anything else.

I'm a pilot and I flew to Eleuthera in a small private plane. For those who want to do the same, I can't recommend it enough! What a great way to explore these unbelievable islands! Note that Governor's Harbor rarely has 100 LL avgas, so North Eleuthera is your only option. Say Hi to Cindy, the airport manager. She and her whole staff are fantastic.

Whel Appointed is beyond five stars. What a find. I almost want to keep it to myself!
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for sharing your vacation experience with us! It is nice to hear that our home met your needs and that you viewed our beach (French Leave) as the best and the house location was a good central point for all your other travels. We fell in love with Eleuthera and this prime location spot from the first time we visited and appreciate that you enjoyed it and wish to return some day. It is our pleasure to work with you and assist you and we are here to help you anytime! Our Best Regards, Michele and David

Had everything anyone could possibly want in the way of appliances, kitchen tools, view, closeness to beach, key system with outdoor key cubbys, beach chairs and great screw into the sand beach umbrellas. Best of all we enjoyed the 2nd story wrap around porch. It has a good breeze and high enough not to be too bothered by insects. Working with David was a enjoyable, most accommodating. Ray
Owner's Response: Great to hear that you enjoyed the second story wrap around porches; it is amazing how much better our breezes are in that higher elevation and something we really enjoy too during our stays at the house. We appreciate the feedback on the key cubbies; David put a lot of work into getting all that set-up. Please do not hestitate to reach out to us if there is anything we can do to assist you in the future. Take good care, David and Michele

What more can I say here that hasn't already been said? Probably not much, but I'll try! This is my third time at Whel-Appointed in 18 months (yes, I love the beach!). The house is amazing, and David and Michele are a dream to work with. The house is clean, quiet, perfectly laid out, and has all of the touches from home -- luxurious linens and towels, a well-equipped kitchen with all appliances, a/c (which I love when I sleep), beach towels/chairs, snorkeling gear, and so much more. It's truly paradise! I hope you choose to stay here and experience as much magic as we did.
Owner's Response: We love working with you guys and it is good to hear that the third time was just as good as the first! It is so important to us that our guests enjoy their stay in Eleuthera and we really appreciate the open and honest feedback. Maybe a fourth stay is in your future!? Thanks for everything. Our Very Best, David and Michele

A Holiday to Remember

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 4, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
We stayed for 2 weeks of pure bliss. We had never been to the Carribean and I can now say we are spoiled for good! Owners David and Michelle provided a luxurious rental home I would call a mansion. The details in the stucture, the furniture, the extra's in the kitchen were all more than pictures could show. Their write ups were very helpful in knowing what to pack and what would be provided by the home owners.

The home was very clean, neat and well maintained. The beds were extremly comfortable as we drifted off to sleep with the windows blowing in the cool evening breeze. The best part for me was in making our decision to rent from David. He was so accomadating with his quick responses to all my questions and concerns. He was very organized with Edgar and Wallace available to help out while on our trip. We ended up renting a car from Edgar who I must say was so friendly and helpful. As we arrived during xmas holidays and our flights were 4 hours late leaving us arriving in the dark, and too late to pick up our rental car, Edgar came the next morning picked us up and took us shopping!! What a wonderful man!

The beach was totally fabulous. We walked everyday down the beach meeting other tourists who were friendly and with stories of places to visit. We rented a car and went up to the northern tip enjoying Harbour Island for the day. You must take the drive it is well worth it, the food the atmosphere, the people...love it!!!

The local people were fantastic and always friendly. We went to the fish fry on Friday which David suggested we go and were not dissapointed as we danced in the streets and enjoyed local food and drink.

We celebrated New Years Eve at The Beach House, only 3 doors down and danced the night away to a band, great food, drinks, people and even fireworks!

Being from Canada and enjoying our holiday in the sun we couldn't have picked a more beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed the patio, covered porches that wrap around the house giving every opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The only down side for us were the sand flea bites that began to come out on us the last few days we were there and then stayed ichy and awful for the next 3 weeks we were home. This is not to take away from our fantastic holiday...just watch sitting close to seaweed on the beach.

David and Michelle you were so wonderful to work with and have as owners who were very tuned into their guests. I appreciate all you help and would love to visit again
Owner's Response: The holiday season is such a special time for family and so it was especially important to Michele and I that you have a magical experience while staying in our home. I really enjoyed working with you and it is so good to hear that both Wallace and Edgar took good care of you during our trip; this has been our experience too. We are glad to hear you danced in the streets at the fish fry - so good to cut loose every once in a while! And New Years at the Beach House; very special. We hope that the memories of your trip take you through the coming months and who knows; maybe you will return yet again to the beautiful island of Eleuthera; if yes, we are here to help you....it is our pleasure! The mansion awaits!!! Take good care, David and Michele

I've been to Eleuthera at least 10 times and this is without a doubt one of nicest rental properties on the island, if not the world! The value for this kind of luxury cannot be beat. There was so much thought and detail put into this house, that I wished it was my own home and that I could live there forever! From the super comfy beds (Tommy Bahama bedding), to the towel warming racks in the bathrooms, flat screen TV's in each room, and extremely well-stocked gourmet kitchen with wonderful appliances, this place was a dream come true. The location can't be beat. The house is located on the prettiest road in Eleuthera - Banks Road - and directly across from the stunning French Leave pink sand beach. The best part is that it is a VERY short walk to my favourite restaurant and hang-out spot - the Beach House restaurant. I'd head over there for lunch or a drink almost everyday - great food dining in or takeout and great live band on Thursday nights. The owners, David and Michele, were terrific to deal with...a true pleasure. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone with extremely high standards. Please feel free to check out the video I posted of Whel-Appointed (and the footpath to the beach) on youtube (search RangoonGirl). Thanks, David and Michele, for opening up your stunning home to be rented! What a treat!

Owner's Response: Wow! What a fantastic review; David and I really appreciate the feedback! We are especially pleased that the house met your expectations and then some. I love cooking in the kitchen and it sounds like you enjoyed it as well. The Beach House is one of our favorite spots also and it is great to have such a nice place within walking distance; wonderful for lunch or an afternoon cocktail break directly from the beach chair! Thank you again for the kind words and it was our pleasure working with you on your vacation plans. Take care, Michele and David

Wow! Did we have the best time in Eleuthera! The house was absolutely beautiful! So glad that we booked it! So much room to run around! All the appliances are modern and worked wonderfully! The catwalk (roof deck) was a great place to hang out while enjoying the beautiful daily sunsets and watch the stars. The patio in back on 1st floor was a great idea! We discovered that it was a great 'hot spot' to hang out, and to get warmed up when there was a bit more wind in front or for tanning! It was a tad windy while we were there - surf was having a 'wicked rage' (as some of the locals called it!), but it did not affect our stay at all! Beaches are as promised - usually empty, private and BEAUTIFUL! Never got tired of looking at those beautiful tourquoise blues! Took the the short path to beach across from house, and in minutes we were on the beach! Edgar (car rental guy) was just great, and gave us some important tips once we got there. Getting around the island was pretty easy and most of the time pretty empty! Tried to even get lost, and roads still dropped us out on familiar roads! Absolutely great. Honestly can't think of anything at the house that was missing. We had a few hiccups with the internet, but it did work better as the week progressed. We knew that internet service in the Bahamas is 'iffy' at times, so we didn't mind. The house is right down the street from the Beach House/Tapas Bar (walking distance) and the food was great! Tippy's is about a mile down the road, and also great food. Got to check out the Bakery in town - and when you go, remember to place your order for homemade pies in the morning to pick up later - YUM - definitely worth it! This house is in a perfect location - an hour or so drive going either South or North, and you can reach many destinations. Wallace was awesome and answered the few questions we had while we were there quickly. The locals were wonderful and very friendly. All in all - we just loved this place, and hope to go back soon. Seriously...if we had a few extra weeks of vacation each year, we would come back EVERY YEAR! So thank you for allowing us to rent your place! One of the best vacations we've had in a long time! We've already been recommending it to others!

Whel appointed is a fabulous house in a little slice of Paradise called "Eleuthera". David and Michelle has made sure that everything you need is there, even snorkeling equipment. The people they work with for car rental and caretaker of the house are outstanding. The people of the island are so very friendly and helpful. We visited a couple of great restaurants' Tippy's and The Beach House.

Would recommend this vacation to everyone. For a week away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place. The Beach is lovely and not crowded.
Owner's Response: We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit. Eleuthera is such a special place to us and it is great to hear that you had such a nice time. There are so many beaches to visit and little places to try local food, local bands and entertainment, etc. that we hope you decide return and seek out other adventures. David and I are still exploring after six years of visiting the island! Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your good experience staying at Whel Appointed!

My parents arrived on December 15th for a week stay at the Whel-Appointed beach house. From the minute we stepped on to the property, we were amazed and taken aback by the beauty of this house. The two master suites on the first floor are huge, and contain what are quite possibly the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. The house manager Wallace does an superb job in maintaining the upkeep of this house. Think Tommy Bahama, and you'll get some idea of the decor you are walking into. The living area is upstairs has "real" furniture, not the typical wicker furniture you might expect to find in a beach house and the 360 degree views are breathtaking. Everything is labeled so you know exactly what fan you are turning on and which lights to turn off. The house provides beach chairs, towels, snorkel equipment etc. Everything you need for an enjoyable day at the beach which is literally a stone's throw across the "street".

Great dining is a walk or short drive away. The Beach Bar serves up some delicious food, which is amazing given the size of the kitchen, and Tippy's up the road has some of the best conch fritters I've ever had the pleasure to eat.

I can't say enough about the owners. They are beyond nice, and did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. I don't think there is anything that have been done to make our stay at the Whel-Appointed any better, and I hope to return soon! Thank you David and Michele for taking the time and putting in the work to creating such a beautiful vacation spot.

We have rented many times through VRBO/Homeaway and let me tell you, what you see on the site is NOT always what you get. This house was what you saw and more! The pictures on the site for this house barely begin to explain just how wonderful it is. When we arrived we almost cried we were so happy. The location could not be better, privacy but 3min from Governours Harbour. The Beach House resturant is a short stroll away and Tippy's was a 5min drive. We felt like we were in a movie! The decks are so wonderful and large, we spent a good hour just walking around them marveling at the views. The view of the lake behind the house at the crack of dawn is one of the most amazing sights. We would go up to the third floor perch at night and be taken away at the amount of stars you could see, it was really stunning. I don't know how they thought of everything they had at the house, they must have had a very long checklist. There was snorkel gear, along with flippers in excellent condition. Chaise lounges with nice clean new cushions, deck furniture in all the right places. The inside of the home was spotless, and I'm a clean freak. I always notice dust and grime in a home and I would have been hard pressed to find a speck of dirt in this house. It just smelled fresh and new. The appliances were top noch, all push button. We just loved cooking in the kitchen and looking out to the lake on one side and the ocean on the other. The living room was spacious and well laid out with a nice flat screen that had satellite and hundreds of music stations. You had beautiful views from anywhere upstairs, lots of natural light. The bedroom was also large with a gigantic super comfortable bed, my husband misses it! Lots of storage for your clothes in drawers and a smaller walk in closet when you first enter the room. Bathroom was awesome. What a view from the shower! There was a heated towel rack and comfy towels to put on it. Throught out the house they have high celings that are beams of wood, beautiful. The high wood celings were even on the decks! We heard that some people did not have water on the island when we were there, no problem for this house. When the pressure got a little low we called Wallace and within 10min full pressure was restored. Friends we met went a day without! Finally, David and Michele were so very genuinely nice. Easy going and really there for us and our questions. Some of the other owners we dealt can be so rude! Thank You!!! Brooke and Mike Vnuk
Owner's Response: Thanks so much Brooke / Mike,

What a wonderful review !!!!

You paint a perfect picture that other guests will truly understand - I wish I was there now!

Glad you had a great time and we look forward to your return !
