Paradise in Eleuthera
The property, gardens, views were very beautiful. We could hear the ocean waves but would love to have a view from house. The path to the ocean and benches at the top of the stairs was a very beautiful view. The beach was clean and great for walking. Even with ocean waves, getting into the water was accessible. The outside areas were well furnished and delightful to use. Especially the deck off of the kitchen. We did not expect the house to be divided into two living levels. To access up; kitchen and 1 bedroom, and down; living room and 2 bedrooms, the stairway is outside. That was doable but it felt like 2 houses. If people downstairs wanted early breakfast, it was disturbing to upstairs sleepers. Upstairs people didn’t feel like they had a living room when downstairs went to bed. That said, we managed. The BBQ grill was a disappointment because it didn’t have grates. It was a flat grill like cooking on a pan in the house. Never seen anything like that. We like the center location on the Island. One person in our party had a leg injury before arriving. Care received at Eleuthera Wellness Clinic was excellent and so appreciated. It was only 10 minutes from the house. Unfortunately, the wound reached a point where one couple had to return to the US early. Luci and Barbara were very kind and understanding. They were immediately available to communicate with and very sympathetic to the situation. Mozzatos have a house on 10 Bay Beach on Caribbean side. Would love to see it!

November rental
The house was clean and comfortable. We had a couple power outages and the generator came on immediately. The house has a extensive DVD catalog of movies. The cable tv never worked, but we enjoyed watching movies, playing cards and reading. We didnt anticipate that some of the restaurants would be closed due to it being low season. The Shell station in town had a good selection of groceries. The house has a book detailing all the beaches and how to access them along with another book detailing and rating snorkeling spots which is handy while exploring. The "road" to the house is pretty rough but our rental Nisson Cube made it just fine.

BEAUTIFUL BEACH AREA AND CLOSE TO HOUSE
THE BEACH WAS BEAUTIFUL AND CLOSE TO THE HOUSE. THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE BEACH, BUT US. WE WENT DURING THE OFF-PEAK TIME SO A LOT OF RESTAURANTS AND STORES WAS CLOSED, BUT WE ENJOYED THE QUIET TIME TOGETHER. THERE WAS A HOMECOMING GOING ON AND WAS NEAT TO GO TO. THERE WAS RAIN FOR A FEW DAYS AND THE SEA WAS ROUGH. THE GLASS WINDOW BRIDGE WAS CLOSED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BECAUSE OF WAVES GOING OVER. I RECOMMEND GOING DURING THE PEAK TIME.

My own Beach
Although it was initially hard to find, it was more than I could hope for. The house consisted of two separate apartments. The upstairs consisted of 1 bedroom, kitchen, dining area and bathroom. Downstairs, where my son stayed there were 2 bedrooms, a living room with a small fridge and another bathroom. Also downstairs there was a separate laundry room. There was a porch on both levels in the front and a patio in the back on the upper level. There is also a sitting area on the side of the house. All around the house, there were plenty of chairs and lounges to relax. From the back porch it’s a 1 minute walk to the beach. It’s beautiful. In 4 days we saw 4 people on the beach. Great vacation, will definitely go back.

Absolutely gorgeous!
My husband and I both agreed, we had the best vacation yet at Garden of Light! We chose this place because we wanted to be on the beach but didn't want to break the bank to do it. The pictures showed it to be exactly what we were looking for but honestly they don't capture just how beautiful this location is. After arriving, one of the first things we did was head down the path to check out the beach and the view just took our breath away - absolutely stunning! We traveled to Lighthouse beach one day and North to Queen's Bath another day but we both decided the best place to be was right on "our" beach out front. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves, only seeing a few people here and there and usually only in the morning when they were enjoying a walk. We swam, walked the beach, enjoyed the shade of the cabana, and drank in the gorgeous view - so relaxing! The communication with the owner, Barbara, was great and she was very helpful in providing information about the house and the island that came in very handy. We referred to her info and suggestions multiple times. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were so nice and they obviously take great pride in their work - they do a wonderful job taking care of the house and grounds! We look forward to staying here again - it was just perfect!

Ocean Front Paradise
Garden of Light on the Monticello Estate was a comfortable, ocean front, well equipped home south of Governor’s Harbor In Palmetto Point. The decks and porches were awesome and the motion lights lit up the stairs outside for coming and going. We would stay again for sure.

Family stay at Garden of Light
We loved our stay at the Garden of light Villa. We had two young kids with us and there was a lot of space for them to play when we weren’t at the beach. The beach in front of the property was very secluded and we loved going on beach walks in the evening. I would definitely recommend this villa to others!
