Galen and Kathy’s home was perfect for our stay. Very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Location is central, so reaching beaches and other points of interest was easy. Galen and Kathy were very helpful and all of their recommendations were excellent.

While they do reside on the property, they were totally unobtrusive unless we needed them. Galen even assisted in changing a flat tire on our rental car.

While the closest beach is within walking distance, we were duly warned by Galen upon arriving that a restaurant had been opened there by a rather unsavory character.

We did visit the beach and while it was nice we were verbally accosted by the guy and did not feel comfortable being there. Since there are so many beaches within easy driving distance this was not a big issue for us. If you visit you will want a vehicle as well, so can easily avoid the problematic individual.

All in all a very relaxing vacation on a beautiful low key island.

We have been visiting Eleuthera for many years and stayed at wonderful locations. However This is our favourite by far. Our hosts did not miss a thing. They ensured our rental car was at the airport and provided us with all the information we needed to make it a memorable stay. We had the freedom and privacy we needed to really relax. We enjoyed the beautiful view from our private deck. BBQ’ed and made several dinners in the well equipped kitchen.

Everything was top notch from the large bathroom to the comfortable bed, with hi speed internet, backup power, and drinkable water available, this location leaves you wanting for nothing. The location is close to several great beaches as well as Governors Harbour shops and restaurants. The pool was warm and inviting, the atmosphere relaxing just a perfect spot. Also the night sky had more stars the you could imagine possible.

I cannot say enough about the location and our hosts. Their cottage and attention to detail made this truly one of the most memorable trips we’ve had. There is little wonder why they named it “Touch of Heaven”. We are already planning our return trip.

The only negative is, it was very hard for us to leave such a great place. We would just like to say thank you so much for making this such a memorable vacation and for your hospitality.

See you again soon.

From the moment we booked until the day we left Galen was an outstanding host. His attention to detail from getting from Nassau to Eleuthera (directions navigating airport) to greeting us at Governors Harbor Airport with our rental car agent and personally getting us to the house was seamless. Upon arriving at the house we knew we couldn’t have made a better choice from the exquisite views to the upscale appointments of the home. It truly felt like a home and not a rental.

Abundantly equipped with everything we needed and more. Very cozy and inviting. Loved the outdoor shower. We enjoyed coffee on the deck every morning with the sound and view of the ocean and the tropical landscape. The sunrise was amazing!
Just down the hill about 5 minutes was a beautiful stretch of beach on the Atlantic side that we enjoyed walking on for miles.

There was a well detailed book that Galen made with many maps and directions to everything from beaches to restaurants that was very helpful. We enjoyed cooking in and barbecuing nightly with a cocktail to wind down the well explored day. So many exquisite beached to explore.

Watching the sunset at Cocodimama just one mile away on the Caribbean side was a great way to end a perfect day.

Galen’s home was perfect in every way and we highly recommend it!

We will be back!!

Thank you Galen and Kathy for your beautiful home and your hospitality!

We miss you already!

The house lives up to it name – A Touch of Heaven! It had everything you would ever need or want while on vacation! The view was breathtaking and our hosts made sure everything exceeded our expectations.

They provided information on the island and the beaches that made exploring very easy. We explored a different beach everyday of our trip and we are already making plans to return!

The island is quite lovely and interesting. Galen is splendid to deal with and very helpful. He truly wants you to enjoy your stay. The home is well stocked and equipped with useful items like coolers and chairs as other reviews have detailed. Michele is an informative and friendly manager. A car is needed to see the beaches that you’ll want to see.

The home is well designed. The morning sun comes through to the bedroom and the breeze makes the deck a delight. The home is about 5 miles from the airport and about the same to Governor’s Harbor. A nice wine shop in town. Get your fresh grouper at the dock/table near the police station at the intersection. We met some very nice people on this island. Tammy’s Place was great for lunch.

Thank you, Galen!
