Much needed vacation!
We absolutely loved staying at Heart and Soul! The location was perfect and the house was perfect for our family of four. The plunge pool was wonderful after exploring the many beaches. We hated to leave and look forward to coming back! Sherrie the property manager was lovely to communicate with and was very helpful!

Clean and Comfortable
This was our first time visiting Eleuthera. We were very satisfied with the house and it’s location. It is a quick drive to some wonderful beaches and a quick walk down to a neat place for snorkeling. Ken and his wife were quick and helpful with answering all of our questions. He even greeted us upon our arrival as his family lives right across the street. The pool was small but the kids enjoyed a refreshing dip after visiting the ocean. The house was clean and well equipped for our stay! Would recommend to anyone and would stay again.

Great stay at Heart and Soul!
Pros: Lovely property, very nicely decorated and well furnished. The grounds were beautiful, kids had fun exploring the fruit trees and various plants in the big beautiful backyard. Great to have space to explore.
Cons: Quite disappointed in the pool as it was really no more than an oversized hot tub. The pictures made it seem like it would be much larger. Also, the location wasn't ideal for us as we would have preferred something closer to useable water and within walking distance to a town, restaurants, etc.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and easy drives into GH and to local beaches! Thank you so much!
