Beautiful and restful vacation

Can't say enough good things about our stay. The ambiance of this ocean side home was just the thing we needed for the 2+ weeks we stayed at Ocean Waves. Comfortable accommodations, well appointed kitchen, beautiful windows to enjoy the beauty of the location, wonderful outdoor chairs and tables to be outside, and a great host who answered all our questions promptly. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful home

This is our second three-week stay at Ocean Waves, which was wonderful once again. We keep returning because the house has everything we need and Lachelle is an excellent host. It’s a 3-minute walk to a near-empty beach on the Atlantic side, a 7-minute drive to a beautiful beach on the Caribbean side, and only a short drive to the restaurants and supplies in Governor’s Harbour. Highly recommended!

Ocean Waves

This was our 3rd visit and it was wonderful as our previous two stays. Ocean Waves feels like home away from home, we love everything about it: the beautiful view, gorgeous beach, peace and quiet, friendly, helpful, responsive host, and various amenities including a lovely patio, an outdoor shower, lightweight beach chairs, and snorkeling equipment, to name a few. The house has good air flow - we kept the windows open for the cross breeze and never needed the AC. Can't wait to come back next year!

Amazing Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Waves. It is well stocked with everything that you need. The beach access is beautiful with great snorkeling. It’s close to the stores and restaurants in Governors Harbor which is a plus. Lachelle is a wonderful host. She is very accommodating and was very responsive to all of our questions and needs. We definitely will return to Ocean Waves.

It’s very close to restaurants and shops in Governor’s Harbour and a short walk (5 mins) down Banks Road to Pascal’s. The host is very responsive and even remembered us from our previous stay last year. We hope to vacation at this property again!

The house had every amenity you need plus many extras. A short easy walk to Paschals with great food and wonderful bar tender (Sammy). If you visit Eleuthera we recommend Ocean Waves hands down! Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Amazing Place

Oceanwaves is an absolute gem. The house itself is in a great location overlooking the sea with amazing views. There is everything you will need in this house to enjoy some total rest and relaxation as it is very well equipped in all areas including the kitchen and outside areas. The beach is a short stroll away and you can walk on the beach for a long time without seeing many people if anyone at all. There are several restaurants nearby that serve good food and lovely cocktails if you don't feel like cooking ! We had an amazing time at Oceanwaves and cannot praise the host Lachelle enough for her communication and positive vibes. Nothing was too much trouble and we would thoroughly recommend this house and host to anyone looking for a fantastic venue for a relaxing vacation in idyllic surroundings.

Ocean Waves

Ocean Waves is a gem! We love staying here and had a wonderful time on our second visit - would've stayed longer if we could have. The house is nicely outfitted with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room and bedrooms, and just about everything you need for the beach. The view is stunning, whatever the weather. The owner is helpful, responsive and a pleasure to deal with - though we've never met in person, it feels like we're friends. Already looking forward to returning next year. Thank you!! ❤️

What a view

Loved the beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean from this beautiful home. Was nicely decorated , clean and fully equipped . Lachelle was easy to communicate with and even left us a welcome treat! Despite the stormy weather we had a nice time enjoying Ocean Waves. Would recommend to bring cash when you visit the island. Some stores ,bars and gas stations were cash only. We were very happy we rented the car from Bruno . His employee Mike saw us safely to the house in the storm the night we arrived. The location of the home is terrific as you have the option to explore going north or south. Highly recommend this comfortable home.

A gorgeous home away from home

We loved our three-week stay. Lachelle is a gracious host, responsive and welcoming. (A delicious apple pie made by her cousin was waiting for us when we arrived.) The comfy, clean house has an ocean view from every room and is a three-minute walk to a beach where we rarely saw more than one other couple. There is wonderful cross ventilation inside, thanks to large sliding glass screened doors in the living room and bedrooms and windows in every room. Outside are comfy chairs and lounges, some of which get afternoon shade. The kitchen is fully equipped, and if anything needed fixing, Jason attended to it right away. The restaurants and grocery stores in Governor’s Harbour are only a 10-minute drive away. The vibe here is so civilized--calm and relaxing. We can’t wait to return.

Hope to return soon!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Waves! First, Lachelle was one of the most responsive hosts we've ever had. She and Jason were very helpful and generous. The house is spacious, very pleasant, and comfortable with a stunning ocean view. The A/C worked well with controls for each room, though we often turned it off to enjoy the breezes. It's a very short walk to the private gazebo and an absolutely wonderful stretch of beach. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful Eleuthera waters, and afterwards we especially liked sitting on the deck enjoying the warm breezes and listening to the waves. The kitchen is very well equipped. The location is private and serene, but it's an easy 10-minute drive to Governor's Harbour. The central location was great for exploring a lot of the island. We'd love to stay at Ocean Waves again and experience more of Eleuthera and its island love. Many thanks to the Thompson family for their wonderful hospitality!

Excellent Stay at Ocean Waves

Just got back from 10 days at Ocean Waves...and already looking ahead to plan our return trip!If anything, the pictures don't do it justice...the view of the water is great, and you have a private access path to the beach, so it's just a minute walk down the hill. The beach is amazing...the most people we saw on it at one time was less than 10, and great for long walks any time of day.Pascal's restaurant is a 5 minute walk down a semi-private road, and provides a great menu to choose from...we ate there 3 times. The house is situated about a 5-6 minute drive into Governor's Harbour, giving access to several other amazing places to eat...we thoroughly enjoyed the Buccaneer Club, Tippy's, and had amazing meals at Bougainvillea and The French Leave. If you would rather stay in and cook (as food prices on the island are very high), there is a good grocery store in Governor's Harbour, Jimmy's Liquor store has a great selection of beer, wine and spirits, and Island Farm is only about a 15 minute drive, where you can source fresh produce and other things (we actually got a fresh lasagna there one day)...highly recommended to check it out.The host, Lachelle, is amazing at responding to questions...usually within an hour, and we felt we were well taken care of!Definitely need a rental car...we used Bruno's at Lachelle's recommendation and it worked out great.Looking forward to going back!

Beautiful house with access to the beach

This was a great house for our little family of 3. We loved the spaciousness, view and access to the beach. It’s remote (quiet), but still close enough to town for shopping and restaurants. Lachelle was a great communicator. I would love to give it 5 stars, but here is why I didn’t. We were aware of the potential of power outages. The island does load sharing often, so you’ll lose power for a couple of hours. But we had those outages plus a 16-hour outage. It was awful - no A/C or fans in July heat. No water. Had to throw out food. We heard generators at the surrounding properties, so I would highly suggest that you consider this when looking at potential properties.
