| We spent 6 nights at Bahama Sunset in March of 2009. The house was very clean and comfortable, with spectacular views. We rented the Cahoys' car which was GREAT for exploring the island. Great island, great house, great vacation- |

| My wife and I loved this cottage. The setting is dramatic, and we spent many hours on the deck being dazzled by the sunsets and brilliant night skies. The place is very well cared-for and it has all we needed for a care-free stay. The location is convenient to some of the best beaches and amazing natural wonders of this laid-back island. It is such a treat to snorkel and float around right below your own deck in a really amazingly scenic spot. Scott was very helpful and responsive to our needs. We'd go again in a heartbeat. |

| A GREAT escape for anyone who enjoys the natural beauty of the Bahamas. The location alone is worth everything! The local people will treat you like family unpretentious and genuine. the lagoon is full of surprises. The sunsets are unforgetable. The beaches are a dream. The house is all you need to relax and renew your spirits. Great work Scott and Wendy and phillip! This has been a highlight of our familys travels!! p.s get fresh fish from the local fishermen it's the BEST! |

| From the moment we drove up Bahama Sunset's driveway, we knew we were in for a treat. This home is the perfect place to get away, kick back, snorkel, fish, and, in general, have the most relaxing time you could ever wish for. The amazingly clear bluegreen waters of the lagoon are teeming with fish of all kinds, both tropical and those you can eat should you choose to do some fishing. We caught (and ate!)snapper and grouper. The home's amenities make you feel welcome and at home, and the views from the deck are spectacular. The night sky is home to more stars than you can even imagine, and the sunrises and sunsets are the perfect way to start and end each day. Although the days seem to pass too quickly, the hours in each day take their time in passing. In short, paradise is definitely NOT an illusion... its name is Bahama Sunset. |

Dear Wendy and Scott, Where to begin.......Everyday was an adventure on Eleuthera
for us. We really enjoyed our stay. The people on the island were so friendly and helpful to us. We made alot of new friends. When we arrived at the house Phillip helped us get settled. He placed beautiful fresh flowers around the house. He was always right there if we needed anything. Such a nice man. We were amazed by the lagoon - so beautiful to look at - but very intimidating too. The snorkling in the lagoon was the best! We saw angel fish, sting rays, tropical colored fish and beautiful coral. We also did some fishing in the lagoon - had fresh grouper for dinner one night! We explored almost all of the island, we found some beautiful beaches. We kayaked at Rainbow Beach-so much fun. Also went through Hatchet Bay Cave. What an experience that was! We also had nice dinners at Surfers Haven and Rainbow Inn. The sunsets in the evening and the star filled skies that followed were breathtaking. You picked the perfect name for your home....Bahama Sunset! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. Sincerely, Tammy and Scott |

Our honeymoon at Bahama Sunset was absolutely amazing. The house itself was a true epitome of the island itself. Simple yet with some of the most amazing views you will ever see.
There are amazing "secret" beaches throughout the island as well as some great places to eat, although we would recommend that you cook at the house so you don't miss the amazing sunset.
We would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and romantic vacation!! |

We've just returned to Rockport, MA following a perfect
week at Bahama Sunset. We'd rented houses on a number of islands in the
past, but Scott and Wendy's place on Eleuthera was tops. The expression
"Paradise is not an illusion" is NOT hyperbole. Every minute we spent in
the house was sheer delight: Waking to the gentle lap of brilliant
turquoise water against rocks in the lagoon. Living in bathing suits and
barefeet. Swimming with the locals -- two huge rays, a lazy needlefish,
and a team of yellow-striped tropicals. Eating every meal on the deck.
Sipping a Kalik or Goombay Smash during spectacular sunsets overlooking
our own private aquarium.
The peace and simplicity of the house are extraordinary. Its natural
wood, spare but cheerful island decor, well-appointed kitchen, large,
sparkling bathroom, and comfortable furniture make Bahama Sunset a
remarkable getaway. We brought books and music, but the literature and
CD's already there could have kept us going for weeks. We wish we'd had
weeks, actually. It's never been harder to say goodbye to a place, and
reentry is awful.
To compound the separation sadness, the house is set in a gem of a
village. We met wonderful people in every shop, at the harbor, in church,
and along the roads as we explored. Phillip and his ubiquitous family took
us in and looked after us thoughtfully. The attractions of quaint/chic
Harbour Island had nothing over the authentic loveliness of Gregorytown.
How fortunate we are to have found Bahama Sunset. Scott and Wendy, if
you're building a place just like it in Costa Rica that you're looking to
rent someday, let us know!
Many thanks for joyful memories and the best R& R ever!

My wife and I were lucky to have found Bahama Sunset a few years ago while looking for a quiet getaway. We were hoping for a nice vacation but we found much more. Bahama Sunset is not just vacation destination, it is a state of mind. The solitude of its location creates a feeling of being suspended above the ocean on an ethereal perch while its beauty and peacefulness allows for quiet contemplation.
It's hard to describe the feeling of waking up to a perfectly still ocean at the bottom of the cliff below the house and watching the fish reflecting in the sun as they swim in the lagoon. Or seeing the late afternoon sunset create its amazing orang, pink and blue colors in the sky while rays of diminishing light reflect on the tranquil ocean.
As a Photographer the island has been an incredible inspiration to me and my work. The plants, rocks, beaches, ocean and overall beauty has given me so much inspiration that creatively I feel extremely fortunate to have experienced what Bahama Sunset has to offer.

Due to all the wonderfull comments and interesting stories guest have shared with me about Bahama Sunset, Eleuthera,Phillip and the local people, I thought it a good idea to share them with others. I have often been frustrated with continued maintenance and Hurricane repair on my home in the Bahamas.However, all I have to do is pick up the guest book at the house and read all the great things people have experienced at the house and the generall overall feeling of gratitude people share, having been part of a truely remarkable place. I feel blessed to be part of it ! Scott Cahoy
