Thinking of Paradise? Think of Helios House, Eleuthera, Bahamas!

.. or as our kids said.. "do we have to go home?" We had an incredible and relaxing family vacation at Helios House. Centrally located this absolutely stunning estate was the perfect base to explore Eleuthera. Close enough but not too close to shopping and some really nice restaurants. Eleuthera has many nice beaches but we constantly found ourselves retreating back to "our own" beach in the afternoons. We literally had the most incredible beach in front of the house completely to ourselves every day. Kids loved the pool which got a lot of use and with a view like that it was easy for dad and mom to play lifeguard. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

We were looking for a quiet, clean and warm location for a family member's birthday and the Helios House turned out to be the perfect location. The owner had thought out all the details for a relaxing stay including music, games, movies, table tennis, beach furniture...etc. The swimming pool was beautiful and the beach was relaxing and empty. The night sky was filled with stars. There was an option to have a cook but we chose to cook on our own. A few recommendations: fly into Govenor's Harbor, research the grocery stores/farmer's market if you plan on cooking on your own and have an idea how to get to the home from the airport.

Helios House fit our family of fourteen in the three units very comfortably over Christmas and New Years. The living room dining, entertainment area and kitchen were very spacious. All the outside sitting and lounging areas were great for large get together and yet enough private areas to be alone and read. The Infinity pool and patio was extraordinary in size and views of the Atlantic. The grounds bushes and trees were well laid out and the swaying mature Palms were mesmerizing on the eyes. The pink sand beach went on forever and looked like we owned it all. No one else around. The owner and property manager were very friendly and accommodating to all our requests. We dove down in Rock Sound area and it was great. Tippys bar and restaurant was real close (order fresh grouper and Lobster tails were huge). Cracked Conch at Buccaneers Club was super tender. Banks Deli had great baguettes and cheese and pate. The Cafe Market on Banks Road was a good deli too. "Gourmet Pizza in the Islands is not NY Pizza so we made our own in the Helio House outside Pizza Oven (bring water from Brooklyn). We will be back.

The house was better than we thought, Niki the housekeeper was great, and the house itself was clean and had a great location. The entire property including the pool, beach, and surrounding area, was 100% private!! The beach out front was probably the best on the island, from the few that we saw. Had the best week ever! I just can't say enough about this place.

Helios House is not only just off the best road, Banks Road, in Eleuthera, it's on the most perfect, pink sand stretch of beach. The house grounds are beautiful - old growth palms and grass and gardens. The house is classic - wide open and breezy, with tons of space in the main house and 'tower house'. All mod cons including Apple TV in every round and a wicked Sonos sound system. Beautiful and big pool for the kids and great outdoor pizza oven/BBQ. Best of all are the staff, including Angela, who is so welcoming and warm - best Gnocchi anywhere! Great swimming and snorkling right off the beach. Really can't say enough how fantastic this place is #paradise

We stayed at the cottage at Helios House, for 8 days, the Main and Tower Houses were occupied by the owner and family. We had full use of the pool and beach, the cottage was fully equipped, although we missed a full sized refrigerator we made do with a cooler. The view was impeccable! The "staff" at the house, made us feel more like family than guests, we didn't want for anything!! We loved our time in Eleuthera! Thank you Angela, Brandon and Shirley!

The Helios House is a beautiful tranquil retreat. Upon arrival, I was in awe, the property is magnificent. We were greeted by Angela, the Chef, who gave us the grand tour, she is great! Angela cooked for us numerous times...her food in incredible! She also shopped for us before our arrival, Angela is a wonderful asset to the Helios house!!!! The home is very well taken care of, it is clean, comfortable, warm and inviting. It offers every thing we could have asked for, from every kitchen gadgets to towels to beach chairs. The kitchen is large enough for 12 to sit and enjoy meals, there are plenty of dishes, utensils and glasses, we also took advantage of the outdoor pizza oven. We used 6 of the 7 bedrooms which are spacious and over-the-top comfortable, the bedding is to die for! The bathrooms are well done no need for blow dryers they are provided as well! There are plenty of high quality bath towels too. The Tower and cottage are as well stocked as the main home. This beautiful home has a 180 degree view of the Atlantic Ocean, you are just steps away from the soft powder sands of the enormous beach. The pool area is perfect with a great lounging space, perfect for eating, relaxing and reading, there are many patio and seating areas to choose from. The pool itself is incredible.... relax, float and enjoy the view of the mighty Atlantic.

We had the most amazing time at Helios House. The place is beautiful; the house is modern with windows and views all around. The sleek architectural design of the Tower, which was built two years ago, is unique on the island. The house is really well-equipped; I loved listening to my iPhone playlists on Sonos in the various rooms and watching my favourite shows on Netflix. I've seen many beaches around the world but nothing compares to the pink sand and turquoise sea right at your feet. The Helios beach is so secluded, we only saw one other couple all week... The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Helios House is the reason I want to come back to the Bahamas!

Beautiful immaculate homes! Wonderful view. Excellent friendly chef and cleaning staff. Didn't want to leave. Can't wait to return. Trip of a lifetime. ...Paradise!

We came to the Helios House as a mini work retreat. The pictures do not do it justice! The house is secluded and absolutely stunning. It is on a hill with a large gorgeous pool overlooking the beach, to which we had all to ourselves the entire trip. The house is complete with ping-pong, kayaks, snorkel gear, a pizza oven, games, books, DVDs and much more. There's always something to do! We opted to stay in most nights and enjoy the view. What makes it even better is we hardly had to clean anything, the house keeper comes regularly so it truly is a vacation. They also would bring us boxes of fresh coconuts in the morning! It was great to spread out in as there's plenty of space for everyone. We will definitely be coming back to visit.

This property is as wonderful as described. The house has many separate bedroom spaces, allowing for a large group to spread out for sleeping. The living room(s) and outdoor spaces are perfect for getting the entire group together. The kitchen easily seats 14 at one time. We used a local chef named Kaynell Scavella to feed our group twice a day. The amazing food and views from the kitchen made every meal very memorable. We spent many hours on the beach and only ran into two other people during our week there. The snorkeling directly in front of the house was impressive. House and pool were spotless upon our arrival. The house manager contacted us prior to our arrival and met us at the house to give us a tour. The owner, Bertran, was extremely easy to work with before and after the trip. He answered all questions and returned the deposit promptly. We have already recommended the home to others and hope to return next year. An elegant and impressive property.

Everything about this vacation home was perfect. The places is as clean and nice as these pictures show. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could want to cook for 12 people! There must have been 25 big beach towels. So many great places to sit and read or watch the sunset or the ocean. We really liked the cabana on the beach for shade. The air conditioners worked well, the beds were comfortable, the Wifi was fast. The owner was great to deal with and the folks on island were too. A few little problems cropped up and were taken care of immediately. I SO hope we can all return here again, we loved this piece of paradise.

Our week at the Helios House was truly amazing. The home was exactly as site described and then some. The view was breath taking and the beach was our own piece of paradise for sure. The home was comfortable for the 6 of us and was equipped with everything you need. The home was super clean, but after meeting Evelyn and rest of staff it is easy to see why, they are all hardworking and so friendly. As for the surrounding area, easy to get around, grocery store, liquor, fresh fish and lobster,etc. And you should go to Tippy's down the street for good eats and drinks. There was not one thing not to love about the Helios House or Eleuthera for that matter. Eleuthera is very easy to fall in love with, beyond its beauty and tranqulity, the people and we mean all of them are so friendly and nice! I can easily see my next home here. We will all be back you can count on that. Since we are all firefighters we decided maybe we can come back sooner to help with firefighter training. :) Thanks to Anne Bethel for making it all happen. Best regards Paul Conway and Pam Lillard...and the rest.
