My wife and I stayed at Touch of Heaven from March 17 – 31, 2018. This was by far the best property my wife and I have stayed at in the 15 years of going to Eleuthera. The pictures Galen has posted really cannot due justice.

The house is impeccable and the extra amenities not seen at any other locations we have stayed at were a very very welcome bonus! Such as, automatic daily insect sprayers (we never saw the dreaded “No-See-Ems”), HOT and cold outdoor shower (so nice to stand outside nude for a refreshing shower), and especially the propane fed generator. Eleuthera will always have power outages, sometime for hours, at Touch of Heaven, this is never a concern.

Galen and Kathy have thought of everything, the kitchen is very well stocked and having a full size washer and dryer comes in very handy. The bed is extremely comfortable as is the living room furniture. The outdoor patio furniture is “first class” and fits perfectly under a covered deck. In reality you have 2 other decks besides the covered one. Perfect for laying nude to catch a “no tan line” tan. One of the deck encompassing a very nice pool with no swimsuit required!

For the naturist this is the perfect location! The house is securely private with no one able to see into the property! Clothes will only be needed when exploring the island, shopping or dining out!

Galen and Kathy have built their retirement home on the property, but since they go sans clothing, there are no issues! I highly recommend checking this location out. Just don’t do it when we want to go!

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!

The week spent at Touch of Heaven was our second visit to the house which is exactly as advertised. Galen is an excellent host, not only making the rental process easy and efficient, but also taking considerable time to find the kind of rental vehicle we wanted this year for exploring some of the more remote parts of Eleuthera. He even greeted us personally at the airport in Nassau prior to our flight to Eleuthera. The weather this year was perfect for the beach right at the house. The wind and surf on the Atlantic side were very gentle all week so swimming and snorkeling on the Atlantic side were quite ideal. Walking the full 3 mile length of Airport Beach from just down the hill from the house remains a highlight. We never saw more than one or two others. A bathing suit is only needed if you want it.

Having spent a week at Touch of Heaven a year ago, we knew how well equipped the house is. Everything one might want for living in the house and spending days on the beaches is provided. We only brought what we wanted to read and the few clothes needed for island life. We only used the latter when we went to Town.

We particularly recommend the Island Farm fruit and vegetable stand located on the Queen’s Highway a few miles south of Governour’s Harbor. Excellent produce and fresh baked goods.

For those looking for a well equipped, very quiet, private spot to enjoy the outdoor life of the Bahamas, this is it. The only sounds are the breeze, the birds, the ocean, and your own conversation.

First we were met at the airport by Michele the property manager who was so nice. How refreshing to be met by a smiling face welcoming us there. The rental car was waiting on us at the airport and before you know it we were off to the house.

The house is exactly as Galen the owner has it described, which was great. The inside was like new and the outside with all its wrap around decking was out of this world. He has a insect sprayer that sprays the entire porch areas several times a day. We hardly seen a fly much less any other insects. No other place we look at had this. The house is pretty secluded so we didn’t have to be on guard about clothes on or off. The outside shower has hot and cold water and was great! We found the house to be furnished with everything you would need period!

As anyone that has been to eleuthra knows the power can go off pretty easy. Galen installed a generator that if the power goes off it cuts on. On Sunday as it stormed most the day we found this to be a wonderful addition to the house. It runs everything in the house until the power is back on. This is a WOW factor.

Galen called and checked on us several times during the week which was welcomed. Nice to know the owner wants everything to be great while you are there.

If there is a down side to this wonderful place is that it doesn’t sit right on the beach. Its about 1/4 mile but since we had the rental car which anyone that comes to this island will need, it really isn’t that big a deal. We put all the beach chairs, mats, umbrella that was already furnished in the car and drove down. the good thing is that you have a road that goes to a great parking place so you can walk right down a cut path and on to one of the prettiest beaches one could ever want. Once on the beach to our left it was 3 miles to the next house. On our right a large corel reef seperated the next beach and the houses on that side. We went to the beach 6 or the 7 days and only saw 1 person come by us jogging, and a couple of days someone in a boat around on the other side the reefs. The sand is really pink and the water amazing!

We really hated to leave this wonderful place, it was just what the doctor ordered!

Thanks Galen!

We will be back!

As first time renters through VRBO we were amazed at how well everything went. The house and it’s location were awesome. All we really needed to bring was clothes and money as everything else is provided at the house. We had a great week and hope to return again.
