This property was perfect for our family of four! The girls loved the small swimming pool on the back patio and super easy assess to the beach. The house was very clean and well stocked for preparing meals, which we did several times, and had plenty of bath and beach towels for our use. It is also very close to many restaurant options if you prefer eating out. It was an amazing stay overall!
Absolutely fantastic property on the beach with a small pool. All modern amenities. Fabulous property manager. Look bed walking for miles on sandy beaches and walking next door to Tippyâs for great food, drinks and music. An absolutely fantastic place to stay. We will be back.
Our first trip to the Bahamas. It was great! And this was a great house. Nice to go back and forth from the pool to the ocean depending on the mood. Quiet and clean beach. We did lose water the last day but part of the island life.
House was great for 2 adult couples. Plenty of gathering space and full masters with en suites. House was well-appointed from beach chairs, to a portable cooler, and even an ironing board which was important because we were attending a wedding! Location was 10/10.
Loved being next to Tippyâs. Property manager was fabulous. Only complaint is I wish there had been more linens and blankets for the pullout and beds. Would definitely stay here again.
Great modern house with amazing view. The only way you could be closer to the ocean is if you were in it! Beds were very comfortable and it was great that there were beach chairs and snorkeling equipment to bring on our daily adventures. Caretaker is lovely and available for anything you might need.
This place is directly on a beautiful beach, yet conveniently near to wonderful businesses like Bacchus and Tippy's. You will never cease to be amazed by the views from every single window. This house is perfectly planned and impeccably clean. It has everything you could possibly need for a fantastic visit on Eleuthera. If this place is available, do yourself a favor, look no further!
We had a great week at Shooting Star! Great house, amazing beach and views and snorkeling right out front, pool was so nice. Great beach for long walks in both directions, close to grocery/restaurants/shops. All questions answered quickly, super nice people; on the island, Taracita was very helpful in answering questions, house was spotless. Smart house was fun. Kids loved the house. Very thoughtfully furnished, great beach house! Hope to get back!!
This home is absolutely amazing! It is in a gorgeous location and has everything you could want or need. We are a family of four and the infinity pool was perfect for our two children! The beds are comfortable, the view is stunning, and the area itself is just breathtaking. Even though you are close to the other two properties, you donât notice at all as there is privacy shrubbery there which is great. The owner Alissa is wonderful and so is the property manager Tarictia. We will be back! Thank you so much!!!
My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our week in paradise while staying at Shooting Star! The house had everything that we needed to make the most of our stay in Eleuthera. My girls are four and six, so the Infiniti pool provided endless fun for them. Once the pool lost a little luster, it was a 15 second walk to the beautiful beach. The house also had beach toys for the kids, which were a huge hit! I was able to make the most of the snorkeling gear provided at the house by checking out the stunning coral just a stones throw off shore in front of the house. If youâre looking for a memorable experience in Eleuthera, Shooting Star is the place to stay!
The house was just perfect for what we were looking for! I think the only thing closer to the beach is getting on a boat! The property itself was well equipped, clean and looked like the images. The location was perfect for us as well. I am sure there are busier times, but our first couple of days, were saw maybe 10 people walking on the beach. It got a little busier, but our experience was the quiet we were looking for. Tippyâs restaurant was a 30 second walk away and we ate there several times and have no complaints there either. Tarictia is the property manager and stopped in when we arrived to show us a few things to know. She was very warm and welcoming. We didnât have any issues with power because they now have their generator. We couldnât use WiFi for a little while, but who cares when you have beautiful water to mesmerize you!
Wow wow wow! Seriously my favorite listing I've ever stayed. Better than pictures. The house is so adorable and modern. The decor is fantastic, the Sonos system was so great to have. The privacy was great! Neighbors don't get to see you while you are hanging outside. The house was very very clean. ALSOOO, I went with a group of 25. Paradise recommended a rental company. It was a little higher than other quotes I received . However, the conditions of the car were a lot better than what my family members received . So it's worth spending the extra $$ because I felt comfortable the entire week. Can't wait to go back!
We loved our time at Shooting start - absolutely stunning location and perfectly situated for island exploring. It was extremely windy during our trip so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space as much, but sitting in the living room, music playing and the sliders wide open, every morning was amazing. The house was well appointed and very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable.
We didn't realize that the you needed to bring in all of your own drinking water and Tarictia came by and let us borrow a jug of hers that we were able to fill up at the grocery store.
The only things I wish the house included would be a water jug base of some sort to put the 5 gallon jugs in to make them easier to maneuver and a cooler. We were thankful to have chairs and umbrellas but definitely bring your own cooler so you have something for the beach. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
When you 1st walk in the view of the most beautiful beach is right at your doorstep.
The photos you see are exactly what you can expect. A nicely appointed, well cared for home, with all the comforts of home. Theyâve thought of everything. Youâll never have to leave here once you arrive.
We never turned the AC on as there was always a nice breeze day and night from the proximity to the water. We slept with the windows open at night and fell asleep to the sound of the waves gently crashing on the beach.
Having Tippys Restaurant a minute away is a bonus. Be sure to try the Spare Ribs & Coconut Shrimp.
The wonderful, hardworking Ms. Tarictia is minutes away and always making sure you have everything you need.
Shooting Star has already thought of everything you need. All you need to do is show up.
Highly Recommended.
This was our first time to Eleuthera and we all agreed that we chose the right spot for us. The beach is the prettiest one we visited. We kept taking time to visit other beaches and then regret it a bit because this beach is wanting for nothing. Just an absolutely gorgeous blue water, white sand location.
Having Tippy's right there is a plus. The rental is not too far from Island Farm for fresh food, Governors Harbor where you'll find the Buccaneer Club, The Frigate, Bacchus Fine Foods, Da Perk, Burrows grocery - just everything one needs is not far. We did not cook very much but everything is on hand if you decide to.
The beds are comfortable, the decor is adorable, the water must be rain water because it is lovely, and we were able to watch sports (I didn't realize we'd have cable) so my family was happy to catch playoff football. The house if I had to put it a few words is cute, comfortable, & convenient.
There were the typical few moments where we were reminded that island life is out there on the edge of civilization so we had a power interruption, we lost internet a few times and water one time (something needed to be reset) but all of this is just a fact of life. None were long term or big issues and I wouldn't say it really affected our stay. We will be back. We enjoyed our stay that much.
If you're looking to rest, relax, and recharge your batteries you could do much worse than this. The owner & property manager are super accessible and helpful.
Beautiful location and beach but pool only worked 1 day out of 6. Also town is very remote and not many options for dining or groceries. Internet and TV went out often. Must buy bottled water by gallon.
Rental car agency referred to us offered a 2012 Jeep Liberty with every warning light on. Luckily it didnât break down on us and did have ac. We enjoyed our stay but listing the concerning issues we wish we had known in advance.
Shooting Star is truly a great vacation rental â very clean, and bright, with all the needed amenities, and the perfect beachfront location to boot. We enjoyed the beach immensely, itâs gorgeous, and hopped over to Tippys several times throughout our stay, which was so convenient! Get a Bahama Mama, you wonât regret it! The owners are very nice, super responsive, and so easy to work with. You can tell they love the island of Eleuthera and love this property, as did we! Plus, Taracita is by far one of the best property managers out there, so sweet and helpful! Downstairs bathroom was a plus, in addition to each room upstairs having its own bathroom as well. Perfect location for 2 couples, or larger family. We loved every minute in this rental and are already talking about a return trip! Shooting Star is hands down a great property!!!
We purchased the land where the Bird of Paradise Cottages now stand in 2004 on a complete whim with aspirations to eventually build. It wasn't until 2016 when we finally broke ground on three cottages that now sit facing the Atlantic Ocean just south of the famous Tippys. Eleuthera is a special place to us that has always served as a simple getaway.
