Our Second Stay

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.
