About this property

Our waterfront home has a magnificent view of the Caribbean Sea. Totally secluded, it's merely steps away from the crystal clear water. The elevated porch offers panoramic views of Balara Bay, Cupid's Cay, Levi Island, unbelievable sun rises, and spectacular sunset vistas.

Caribbean Blue has an open, airy feel to it and is tastefully decorated in a tropical theme equipped with all the amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. The house has two bedrooms: 2 masters with attached bathrooms. Enjoy paradise lounging beside the seaside, sipping a frozen concoction as the aquamarine water soothes your soul.

Easy access to the water is available from the property for fabulous snorkeling on Balara Bay. There is fishing right off the property for grouper and snapper. Levi Island is directly across from the house and is one of the island's bone fishing hot spots.

Governor's Harbour is a small, quiet town on the Family Island of Eleuthera, offering a collection of distinctive colonial homes, historic churches, and colorful Bahamian buildings.

You will find all the services you need in town: grocery stores, gift shops, post office, banks, gas station, dive shop, liquor stores, an internet cafe, and bakery. There are also several good local restaurants to chose from and a few local bars.

There are no casinos or flashy nightclubs on Eleuthera; the island has a sedate, relaxed atmosphere.

The island of Eleuthera is 110 miles long and is, on average, only two miles wide. The entire island is ringed by spectacular beaches, most of which are hidden and totally secluded.

There are many interesting settlements up and down the island. In addition, you will be able to enjoy fabulous fishing (deep sea and bone fishing), snorkeling and scuba diving, shelling, or you can just relax on the elevated porch.

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.

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!

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!!

Very comfortable waterside property with Stunning views and exploration to the 10th degree. Teenage kids jumped into saffire hole, snorkeled, found numerous pink sand beaches with 4 wheel drive music pumping; great family memories. Owners are so friendly and helpful. Thank you!

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!

This was our fourth stay at Caribbean Blue and it was as wonderful as the others. It offers a great location and stunning views in a very convenient location near Governor's Harbour. Kerry and Barry Cadet are both great to deal with. Enjoy!

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.

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.

Excellent!

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

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!

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.

Wonderful getaway!

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!

Relax, Relax, Relax!

Spent a week at Caribbean Blue and it was wonderful! We were four women, all in our 60's, and felt VERY safe the whole time. The house is well appointed and Kerry was so easy to work with. Private location with easy access to Governor's Harbour for shopping and restaurants as well as several local hot spots dotted up and down Queen's Highway. We spent our days under the palapa and our evenings on the screened in porch. The photos do not depict how nice the house is or how beautiful the water is. We had dolphins off the shore almost every morning and starfish in the rocks every evening. Our purpose was to relax and recharge and Caribbean Blue did the trick! The house would also be great for couples or families. We're already looking forward to next year!

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!

wonderful private getaway!

We had a wonderful time at Caribbean Blue ! We have traveled many years , and stayed in many rental homes all over the world.We can say, The owners have taken the time to be sure all your comforts are met, and that you are made to feel like it truly is your home away from home.The caretakers are just a call away,made it very easy to pick up/and return car/house keys, and where there to answer /help with any thing you needed. We will very likely return in the future!

Caribbean Blue is an awesome place to stay. The location is stunning and the house has everything that you could ever need during your stay. It's hard to tear yourselves away from the house as its so relaxing, but Eleuthera has some stunning beaches. Very romantic too.....My husband to be proposed to me here...I said yes of course!
