Great location on the island

My spouse and I (in our late 40’s) stayed here for 5 nights. Our most favorite feature about the house is the screened in porch. This was great for evening cigars and wine without the pesky no seeums. The drive down is washed out and rough, but honestly so are many of them island roads, so that was not a big deal to us. The watery on the Caribbean side was not ideal for us. Waves and rough. What is great about the house is that then we were able to just hop on over to the Atlantic side and the water was great. This home is so central to governor’s harbor and has great beaches shopping and food nearby.

Paradise

The check in and out process was extremely easy. The property is amazing. My husband and I have stayed several places in Eleuthera and Caribbean Blue is our favorite. The best snorkeling and fishing was right in front of the house. The caretakers and owners were great and answered all questions we had immediately. We definitely will stay there again.

Beautiful, tranquil, and Amazing!

The house was awesome and located in a beautiful spot right on the water across from Levi Island and seven minutes away from Governor’s Harbour. We spent time exploring Eleuthera and nearby islands. The porch is tranquil, and I loved sitting out there and looking over the water to Levi Island and Cupid’s Cay. My husband and I loved our stay there, and we hope to head back there soon.

Perfect Retreat!

3 of us stayed in Caribbean Blue for a week. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more! The owners are very considerate and leave everything you need for a perfect vacation- use of the kayak and fishing gear was greatly appreciated. The solitude was amazing, and if we wanted some fun it was a short drive to Sky Beach Resort for drinks and music or into Governor's Harbor. We definitely plan to return.

Incredible quick trip with family

The visit was exceptional, visiting from Colorado and S. Caroline two moms w/ two boys (12 & 13). Barry and Shad the care takers were so nice and the home was in great condition and super clean. Loved the central location easy to get to things and into Governors Harbor. The setting is super peaceful and private, loved it! We had no idea where we were going and never had been to Eleuthera and felt the location of the home was perfect and easy to get around. Barry and Shad met us at the airport (rent a car from them!) short drive to Caribbean Blue. Tippy's is a must and the beach it is on (French Leave) is gorgeous. Hope to come back and will recommend to friends! Thank you for such a nice home and all the great amenities. Do not plan on using wifi never could download but was a nice break for us!

Perfect Getaway

My father and I stayed at Caribbean Blue over Memorial Day weekend. The house was beyond our expectations. The location is perfect, right on the water, 5 minute drive into town, perfectly secluded. We were met by Lachadra, as we had rented an SUV from Barry and herself (also caretakers of the home), and the process could not have been easier. The house was very clean, and included everything you could possibly want for a vacation. There was a great sound system for playing music, the kitchen had all utensils and cookware, and there was even a nice collection of spices from previous tenants. The home would be perfect for families, or anyone for that matter. We were very happy with our stay and with the help and attention we received from Kerry, as well as Barry and Lachadra before our stay. We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to visit Eleuthera, and it is the perfect location to explore the island from.

Perfect

Everything was as advertised or better. The views were terrific the location perfect and the property pristine. Communication with the owners and caretakers was easy and their responses were quick. The property is close enough to necessities and adventure while being secluded enough to not see anyone else. The house and property were both clean and orderly and offered everything necessary plus much more, things impossible to pack for a beach vaca like chairs, kayak, coolers etc were all available there. Other than food and bathing suits everything else was there for our use. The next time we go we will absolutely be trying to book Caribbean Blue again. We went with some other families that had other properties and we had the best one hands down. 5 stars across the board only because 6-7-8-9-10 stars isn’t an option.

Perfection!

Caribbean Blue We just returned from our 2 week stay at Caribbean Blue. This was our second time travelling to Eleuthera and we have definitely found our perfect oasis. This home is built with care and craftsmanship. Everything you could possibly need is there: kitchen supplies, comfortable beds, good air conditioning, water toys and the most lovely caretaker, Lachadra. Located on the Caribbean ( bank side), you can slip into the calm glassy multi-hued blue water within 1 minute of waking up. The sunsets are are astounding and you can watch them from the safety of a spacious screened porch. Enjoy snorkelling, bird watching, observing fish jumping and a very artful garden. It's so tranquil and restorative with the best vibes ( the family that built and owns this house has imbued it with love). We will never stay anywhere else on Eleuthera. This home is in a wonderful location ( just 5 miles from shopping) and yet is completely private. We are so thankful to the owners for sharing their piece of paradise with us. Treat this home like it was your own--it's very special. We can't wait to come back!

Miss it already

Have not left the island yet and already reminiscing about all our incredible adventures! We found everything to be as promoted ...absolutely perfect! The location is secluded which we enjoyed very much and having a Jeep rented through Barry Cadet it gave us flexibility everyday to do shopping if needed or discover a new beach! Although we were often content to just relax and enjoy our outdoor spaces : ) We enjoyed the snorkeling right from the property..felt like I was in an aquarium esp. around what seemed to be 4pm feeding time lol! It was fun to have the use of the kayak. We used it to go explore the beach we could see from the house! The sky was quite a spectacular site at night! The show the stars put on for us was the best we have ever seen! Kerry was a gem to make arrangements with prior to our arrival! Always quick to reply and offer lots of perfect advise! Chad and Barry were the epitimy of Hospitality once we arrived! Chad met us at the airport helped us to our truck and led the way to the house! She showed us around and settled us in then was always a quick text reply away if we had any questions! Thank you to all! While there I celebrated a Birthday and we asked Chef Devaughn Sweeting to prepare us an island extravaganza! He was quick to respond before our arrival and make all necessary arrangements! The meal was incredible and hospitality top notch! Thank you Chef Devaughn and mentor ,mother ..the beautiful Ms. Theola The wifi was strong and consistent! Loved the hotspot we could keep charged and take along for our adventures! That is a great benefit! The only suggestion we can think of that may have improved the visit would be the addition of sun loungers on the deck! Certainly made use of and appreciated the chairs,tables ,floats,and fins. Also noted there was fishing poles but never attempted : ) We thoroughly enjoyed everything about Caribbean Blue and can highly recommend it to guests looking for Romantic seclusion!

Perfect return visit

This was our second stay at Blue Caribbean and hopefully not our last. We love the location in central Eleuthera. The view never gets old. Snorkling the water right in front of the home is still like an aquarium. Amazing sea life. The home is clean and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The hill down is still a bit to maneuver but worth the trip for sure ...just part of the adventure! Thank you for sharing your amazing home , again!

Pressure Drop

Great stay at Caribbean Blue! Loved the house! The screen porch was great allowing Bahamian breezes to flow through the house. The setting was extremely private, yet close to Governor's Harbour. Proximity to excellent beaches was also a plus. We really like the center island location. The house was amply stocked with supplies. The winds were from the southeast with the waves too strong for our comfort level to kayak to Levi Island and to snorkel at the shore rocks. So we just went to the Atlantic side and enjoyed some of the most phenomenal beaches (French Leave (Old Club Med) and Twin Coves. Next time, I will bring some fishing gear to try my hand at fishing. Numerous locals and people in the guest book indicated good fishing right from shore at the house. We also recommend a four wheel drive vehicle--we rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The driveway is steep. Four wheel drive is just recommended if you want to get to the beaches and explore all the island has to offer. The Owner's Manual was extremely helpful providing great information about the house and the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and came back to the states with a more relaxed frame of mind.

Amazing slice of paradise

Pictures do not do this slice of Paradise any justice! It is an amazing home on the water with every amenity you could ask for. Not only that, but the owners AND caretakers were super easy to work with and communicate with. Great floorplan, great porch, great location just north of Governor's Harbour and smack dab in the middle of Eleuthera so a perfect jump point for exploring all the island all the way around. Definitely rent a car!!

Perfect waterfront Eleuthera home

Stayed at Carribean Blue for 9 days on the second trip to Eleuthera with my wife and loved this property. Everything about this house was perfect for us. The location is excellent, only a 5 minute drive to Governer's Harbour, but still very private and we enjoyed being able to get into the water right in front of the house. Also, some good snorkeling in front of the house. We brought paddleboards and getting them into the water from the ladder at the house was a breeze. The screened porch was great for the times the no see ums were out. The inside of the house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The pictures really don't do this place justice! Storage area on the 1st floor all the beach necessities and a 2 person kayak. The owner was very helpful and responsive. I cannot recommend this house enough!

Fantastic!

This was our second stay at Caribbean Blue. We first came over the December holidays in 2016. After a "normal" holiday in 2017 we knew we would have rather been in the islands, so we came back for the holidays in 2018 again. The location is ideal, about halfway between the northern and southern tips of the island, making it easy to take excursions to see all that Eleuthera has to offer. It is also close (but not too close) to Governor's Harbor, which is the biggest town on the island and a good place to stock up on supplies as well as the home of a number of great restaurants. Kerry has done a great job with this place. The house itself has all the amenities of home, plus a screened in porch and water access for snorkeling, swimming, or kayaking right from the tiki hut on the back deck. The furnishings are comfortable and attractive, and snorkeling gear and a kayak are provided if you don't have your own. Also, inner tubes, a gas grill, guide books, DVD's, sun screen, spices, full kitchen with appliances and cookware, you name it you got it. There were only 2 of us, but the place can easily sleep 6, and there is enough room (plus the deck/tiki area) that it won't feel crowded even at capacity. There is a reason all of the reviews of this place are positive. I will happily and enthusiastically echo the recommendation to stay at this fabulous vacation rental on a beautiful and mainly unspoiled island paradise. Barry and Chad (the caretakers) are very helpful. Chad may be the nicest woman in the world, and Barry rented us a sturdy 4 wheel drive jeep for our stay, which was definitely needed, as the drive onto and out of the property is quite steep, and as many of the best beaches on the island are accessed well off of the main road. If you like to get away from it all in a relaxed and peaceful setting, with many nearby options for water activities and dining, this is the place for you. Highly recommended.

From the moment of pick up till we had to (sadly) leave, everything was wonderful. Location, amenities, caretakers, cleanliness, ambiance, all were on point. My husband, whose standards are very high, gives it the excellent rating. First time I've heard him use this word on any of our travels. We will be back, if there is availability after all the great reviews this place deservedly gets. Thanks to all who own and keep this home away from home special. Pam in Florida

This home is lovely! The views are amazing! Kitchen was well stocked and had anything you might need. The location was great for taking day trips and exploring the island. The house was very clean and well taken care of. Chad- the caretaker- was so sweet! Had a wonderful beach close by (French Leave). Had several great places to eat!! Felt safe. Very friendly people on the Island. The Friday Fish Fry was a lot of fun! 1648 - I think it was called and Buccanear's are very close and great food! Bakery in Governor's Harbour was very good! The house was very private and beds were comfy! Our family had a wonderful time!! Made memories of a lifetime!
