I ve Travelled to the Bahamas more than 45 times. I stopped counting at 45. I’ve never stayed in really large property with more than 3 Bedrooms This Property was an excellent choice as it will be for Everyone who chooses this property. I chose this property because of a last minute Gathering for family, The Amount of space, rooms , Bathrooms, outdoor space,Living space, water tanks and Listen up ,A Generator which is the most important thing you need on an out island in the Bahamas. As you can Hear it kick in numerous times , so when you see the clocks time is off that is why just leave them ,but The Generator worked perfectly is a perfect place to be trust.Unfortunately with the US government s foolishness at airports was the overwhelming reason a lot of people didn’t join us.we truly Enjoyed the time there. This property Has Everything you need inside and outside From A washer and Dryer on both sides of the property Plenty towels inside and outside, plenty water Equipment and toys , sunscreen and other outdoor creams for your safety beach chairs and

Paradise

Me and my family (9 in all) visited Parlay at Sunset for a week and everything was amazing! Diana provides so much good information before your stay and it was all very helpful. Check in was easy and communication with Diana and the property manager Charles was always prompt. The house is upgraded and has everything you could need. We had 9 adults but the house still felt spacious and open and never cramped. The beach is awesome and everything you could want. Sprawling powdery sand with lots of lounge chairs, tables and shade under the gazebo. The swimming area is pristine with a mix of rock and sand in various layers which made it nice for swimming and for snorkeling. We saw a few rays, lobster, fish, conch, jellyfish, squid, starfish, etc, it was magical. We also happened to be there during Homecoming so we met so many nice people in Tarpum Bay and Rock Sound. Can't wait to go back!

Great stay in Tarpum Bay

We absolutely loved our stay at Parlay at Sunset! The house was great! Loved the layout, the recent updates and amenities in the house. The beach is great! It’s better at high tide when the rocks are covered as you walk in but once you get past them, it is smooth and beautiful! You can walk out pretty far before it even touches your waist. The sunsets there are gorgeous! Definitely take bug spray though! The little “no see ‘ems” are all over the island at night. I’ve stayed at a few places and always had them. Any issues we had with the house were promptly taken care of by the house manager, Charles, or the house owner, Diana. I appreciate both of them for their prompt responses and follow up communication. We used several vendors the house owner recommended and I am so glad we did. All were wonderful! I would definitely stay here again!

Tarpon Bay Beach Paradise

The property was so beautiful and made you never want to leave! We enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal clear water right outside the backdoor and stargazing under the clear starlit sky while listening to the waves crash just feet from us. We could not have asked for a more peaceful and serene place to be! Diana the owner and Charles the property manager were so kind and helpful the entire trip from start to finish which made a perfect experience even better than we could have ever imagined. We can’t wait to come back!

Nice get away

We stayed at Parlay at Sunset 11/12-11/17. The home is huge and beautiful! I was almost sad we had such a large space for 3 people... almost! The yard and beach are gorgeous!We never saw anyone else on the "private" beach. Charles made sure we were well taken care of and even brought us homemade punch and rum! We will be back!!

Grateful for Parlay at Sunset

Few properties anticipate vacationers' needs as thoroughly as this one. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beach area was like a mini resort, the property manager was available to us and handled any issues quickly, its proximity to Tarpum Bay helped us meet wonderful people and get fresh fish, lobster, and conch salad, and the small market in town met our needs. Children are clearly welcomed here with a clean, charming play area. They even had enough laundry hampers and towels for a large, busy family. Just remember to bring water shoes and your insect repellent of choice--you will likely need these wherever you go in Eleuthera anyway. Such wonderful memories were made!

The property was amazing, everything we needed. The beach loungers were broken but the property manager wasn’t aware and I’m sure will be replacing those. Beautiful house and property!

Parlay at Sunset

Parlay at Sunset was a great stay. There were a few minor hiccups from the previous renters, but Charles the property manager took care of things within a timely manner. We had a wonderful stay, and the private beach area was serene and blissful. My family had fun shell hunting. I recommend Parlay at Sunset for your Tarpum Bay stay.

Chilling at Parlay on Sunset in Eleuthra

Perfectly location on a secluded beach and right off the Queens Highway. We enjoyed sunset evenings in the gazebo & the calm blue waters. Liked that the bedrooms are on either side of the living area. Note that there are no immediate neighbours and plan to shop for meals or eat out at one of the local restaurants. Our host Diana and property manager Charles were very responsive and accommodating. Be sure to read the house book for tips about places to eat and visit. Hifhly recommend staying at Parlay!

Amazing 8 Day Stay

We had a group of 11 of us stay at Parlay @ Sunset. We had such an amazing stay. We loved the beautiful beach!!! We loved the outdoor shower and the screened in back porch. We had plenty of room to spread out! We loved having two washers and dryers. We had everything we needed for our cooking purposes! We had an issue with water pressure, but the host was quick to respond. We loved our stay and would definitely come back to this house and beautiful island!

New Year's Week

Our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 children) had a great time at Parlay at Sunset. The house was a great size and layout for our group and was very well positioned for exploring beaches to the north and south.

Wonderful respite in southern Eleuthera

We had just a short stay in Tarpum Bay and rented this wonderful property. The beach was great and the amenities were very good. The location is a bit remote which we like but may not be for everyone. The house was extremely comfortable and catered to the children which was wonderful. Would certainly go back here again for a longer period in the future. We love Eleuthera !!!!

Fantastic Vacation!

This property is amazing and we had NO disappointments! The beds were comfortable and felt like home versus a hotel bed. The kitchen had almost every appliance you could want to help prep meals. The Screenroom was our favorite place to take our meals. We spent most of our week kayaking and snorkeling off the beach outside the house. There is so much wildlife right in the water right off the shore. We will cherish this trip and hope to return to Parlay at Sunset!

Right on the beach!

What I loved best about this property is the location - a bungalow right on Tarpum Bay. The ocean is alive here, we saw dolphins, manta rays, jacks and lots of other fish. Excellent snorkeling and kayaking. Thanks to hosts Diana and Ryan, and thanks to caretakers Ken, Audrey and Kevin for taking such good care of my family and I.

Colorado visitors

We had a great vacation at Parlay at Sunset. The location is very private, no close neighbors. The kitchen is very well equipped including lots of spices. We loved the Bahamas Room. The sunsets were amazing. A great selection of sunscreen and bug repellent was appreciated. We had as many as 4 local, well behaved dogs to enjoy. Buy some dog food, they are hungry. We hope to return soon for more than 8 days.

Great place

Lots of space. We only had our family of 5. This was the last place we stayed of our 2 week vacation. Our kids 6, 4 and 2 loved the toys, videos and games. It was great to relax and enjoy the beach for a couple days before we went home.

We did parlay at sunset ;)

Parlay at Sunset is a great villa. I was amazed how much rooms and space we had. Many bedrooms, sofas, kitchen appliances, etc. On the first day when we reached the patio, we saw the beach setup with all the kayaks, paddle boards , we knew we made the right choice. This villa is spacious, clean, directly on the beach. Just amazing !
