      INCREDIBLE!!
      The common word that came to my head during our stay was INCREDIBLE! The house comes with everything you need. I must say I have family who likes a cold environment so the one air conditioner made me nervous but if you followed the instructions provided the house stayed cool during the day and the bedrooms would cool with the house at night. You don't even have to leave the house if you don't want to. It is like a self-service resort. My teenagers even had a great time. We saw so much sea life during our stay I had to make a list so I did not forget! The water, the sunsets, the view, the solitude, the sounds of nature, the space in the house....everything was absolutely wonderful. The owner and caretaker treat you like family and are very responsive. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

      A great 8-day stay at Mission Bay Cottage
      A perfect getaway, so quiet and peaceful yet with easy access to north and south island hot spots for snorkeling, eating and more. We’ll be back! The house has all you need.

      Wow!!
      This place was so amazing! The pictures really don't do it justice. It is steps from the beach, the sunsets from the dock or the deck are unreal. Jennifer was quick with communication and just as helpful as anyone could be. The island really is unspoiled, miles of beaches with few people in site. Be prepared for bugs, and you can't get around without a car. This is one of the most laid back places we have ever been to.

      Great House and PERFECT location!
      I have nothing but wonderful feedback regarding our stay at Mission Bay Cottage. The cottage is clearly a treasured second home of the owners who have been active in Eleuthera for decades. The family's love for their home and the community is clearly evident in the condition of the home, its readiness for guests, and the communication with guests from booking until safe return home. With that said: - Home is clean, well-maintained and fully stocked for you to "live" there. Very kid/teen friendly with a large grassy yard. - Kayaking (especially in the mornings before the sun and ocean breeze reach the Caribbean side) is absolutely spectacular. You will see starfish, sand dollars, nurse sharks, sting rays, beautiful shells and fish. - Location on the island is centralized! Tarpon Bay and Rock Sound are a quick trip and have everything you could possibly need. Rock Sound has several amazing restaurants and the best grocery store on the island. You can be in Governor's Harbor (to Tippy's, the Fish Fry, Governor's Harbor Bakery, and more) in less than half an hour. Many amazing pink beaches are minutes away. The sunset view from the back of the home is absolutely stunning! - Bring water shoes to traverse the beach/water behind the house. -Bring bug spray/lotion... you will need it at dusk and dawn anywhere on the island. Don't hesitate to book this cottage!

      Great house!
      Spent a little over a week at Mission Bay Cottage. The house was fantastic! super clean, comfy furniture and deck and all necessary appointments for a great stay. Ray, the owner, was very quick to reply to booking questions, etc. and John Baptiste (the caretaker) checked on us when we arrived and let us know he was available if we needed anything. The air-conditioning worked great as did the internet. This was extremely helpful as we were there at the beginning stages of the Coronavirus and needed to rebook flights etc. The beach is calm, more rock and coral than sand. There are a couple beach chairs for beach lounging. Plenty of sea creatures to check out. Caught a lot of snapper, etc. No bonefish though; there was a guy down a ways running a gill net, so that might have effected things? Did see other fish and if you walk north to the rocky area near the road, there are all kinds of reef fish, snapper, etc. Tons of remote beaches to explore and Ray's house was a good location for this. Plenty of places to buy food and groceries in Tarpum Bay and Rock Sound. We flew into Rock Sound, but if i did it again, Governors Harbor would probably be better due to more flights and airlines (this proved true trying to leave the island). We rented a car from a guy named George- fantastic and super easy to deal with. Anyway, great place and we would certainly go back and stay at mission bay again! Thanks Ray
