I'm from Barcelona, Spain, 23 years old. my english is not very good but I will try to writte in english because i want that a lot of people can understand my review.
Me and my girlfriend spended 2 weeks in starfish cottage in december 2009, before this we spended 2 month travelling arround USA and it was the perfect site to finish our trip.
The starfish has all that you need, bed for 2 persons, small kitchen, all the thing for cooking and a small table. It has highspeed internet and it works very very fast (more than all the hotels that we went in USA), you have cable tv.
Here in tripadvisor you can read bad reviews about this site, and yes, it is posible that you don't like when you arrive there, but my girlfriend and me were searching something like this, something diferent, you can't find this un USA, this is not an hotel, this site is cheap and safe (my sony vaio was two weeks on the table with the door open all the time), and 30 second walking to the cristal water. You can use the kayaks free (incredible route to the north). It is true that you can find mosquitos ans more small animals here but... now in 2009 we can buy a spray and kill them and thats all. The bed have a net that protect for the mosquitos in the nigth. You need to know that this is Eleuthera, when you will go to the incredible beaches,you will find mosquitos too, and this is a stupid reason to don't go there.
The bathroom is 10 meters to the door of starfish cottage, in my house the bathroom is more far... the shower is exterior but is very good.
Kimberley (the owner) is friendly, and when we were there was with Scott, he help us a lot to choose the best beaches and the best things to do.
If you are looking for luxury this is not your place, if you are looking for a place close the other people in the town (the people most friendly that I know), very cheap, funny (5 minutes to Elvinas), I recomend you this place and I recomend you Eleuthera. I will return here if I can.
If you want to go to Eleuthera to spend all the day in a resort or in an hotel, this is not your island, there are incredible beaches, caves, coral reefs and peoples to know.
We only stayed on the cottage when was dark. And it was perfect after a tired day discovering the island.
Of course that you can feel more confortable in another resort in the island, but you will pay 3 or 4 times more.
i will try to put more photos to show you how is it.
And if you decided to go to eleuthera, remember: relax and don't worry.
