Incredible Vacation at Helios House
Helios House was truly paradise. Incredibly well appointed overlooking the ocean just beyond the palm trees. We came with a family of 17 and occupied all 3 homes on the estate. We ranged in age from 80yrs to 5yrs and everything in between and the home and the island were perfect for everyone. We are a family that loves to cook and the kitchen was fabulous and well equipped. Fresh produce was a bit hard to find but we were told that going directly to the farms is the best way to go. The infinity pool was luxurious and many many hours were spent in it. We hired a masseuse and were treated to massages in the little hut right on the shore - you could hear the waves through the sliding glass doors and feel the ocean breeze. The beach is very private and feels like its exclusively yours though we did meet the neighbors on our long walks and they were all warm and welcoming. This is true of all the Bahamians we encountered. Shirley the housekeeper came 3 times a week and was lovely. Bertrand was very responsive to my many questions before the trip and gave tons of information. He was a pleasure to deal with. Go! You will not be disappointed :)

Truly Paradise
Helios-House far exceeded our expectations! There were 14 in our party and we had plenty of room for all. The kitchen was by far the best appointed that we have ever had at a rental. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The beach was perfect and very private, with kayaks and plenty of seating provided. The staff were great and very helpful. Tippy's had good food and was right down the road. The Buccaneer Club was excellent. We found the locals to be very friendly and helpful. We hired a local chef, Jacquel Kemp, for one night and the food was great and reasonably priced. We rented two vehicles from Stanton Cooper. The vehicles were "well used" but reliable, and his service was very good. Our excursions included a boat charter out of Spanish Wells (Cay Witness Charters), jumping into the "Sapphire Blue Hole", and a day at Lighthouse Point, which was absolutely beautiful. Bertrand was great to work with and made the booking process very easy. Helios House truly is paradise and we hope to return some day.

Another trip to Paradise--
Helios House is a dream property & we were so excited to have our 2nd stay there! On this trip we had our family for the 1st week. The 3 grandchildren loved the bunk room with 3 bunkbeds (no fighting over who gets top or bottom), TV and 2 bathrooms. The house is large, comfortable and nicely designed for privacy. For just the 2 of us for the remainder of the trip, it is a perfect spot to leave the world behind. The accolades we have for the house are almost too many to list-- The beach is #1 with turquoise water and sugar sand along with paddle boards & kayaks. The pool is a wonder when you want to get away from the sand for a bit. The landscape with the incredible flowers & trees is stunning and the garden with fresh herbs, tomatoes & lettuces is a treat. The stargazing at night is such a treat. Bertrand has put an incredible amount of thought and work into making this property exceptional with constant updating & upgrading and his hard working staff are top notch. Thank you!

Turquoise Waters
Three generations arrived from 3 states to land at the stunning Helios House with an amazing view of turquoise water and palm trees over the gorgeous infinity pool. Erin met us and graciously showed us around the house and property. There were fresh flowers around the house and a basket of coconuts for us on the kitchen table....what a difference that makes to be welcomed in that way. We were 10 adults and 3 young children and we used all the buildings to spread out for privacy for those without young kids. The kitchen is beautifully equipped. We cooked ourselves and hired excellent chefs to cook some nights. There are lovely places to sit outside by the pool, around the houses or on the beach. The paddle boards and kayaks were much appreciated. The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are great. We have high standards for how a house should be equipped and supplied. Helios House exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return.

Even better-appointed than we imagined
Helios House is phenomenal. We loved everything about our stay. The house is even more beautiful and well-appointed than it looks in the photos. A few additional things you might be wondering about: * Housekeeping: they come Monday, Weds and Fri, and it's included in the price of the rental. We had Shirley and she's a sweetie. * Every bathroom comes with soap and lotion, and the shower has a soap/body wash combo. * Dish soap was provided * There are plenty of spices in the kitchen. * There are multiple coffee makers and even a milk frother! The kitchen is incredibly well-appointed and has everything you need to cook and serve a large group. * The pool was a bit chilly, so if you need it heated, you might want to contact the owner in advance. I'm thinking it was around 75* F, but can't say for sure. * The ocean was a bit rough a couple of the days, but most of the time it was calm enough for little kids to feel totally in control. * The reef just outside the house wasn't all that interesting. There are definitely some fish hanging out, but you'll find better snorkeling/scuba diving where the waters are calmer. * The bunk room is downstairs and has 2 full baths with shower. Enjoy your stay at Helios House. You'll never forget it!
