About this property

Private Villa Suspended Above Pink-Sand Caribbean Beach, Htd Pool and Hot Tub

Welcome to The Caribbean SandCastle, a luxurious and avant-garde villa suspended on columns above a spectacular beach. An impressive feat of engineering and architecture, The Caribbean SandCastle brings you closer to the sand and water than any home on the Caribbean. This beautiful pink-sand beach is lapped by shallow water that is usually as calm as a lake. Caribbean SandCastle faces west so you can enjoy the most wonderful sunsets over the sea every evening from your decks and windows.

Caribbean SandCastle, formerly Cool Cloud House, is now under new ownership. The owner added a NEW BEACHFRONT POOL AND HOT TUB!

The Caribbean SandCastle is located on Alabaster Beach, one of the most stunning and pristine beaches in the Caribbean, featured on the cover of Conde Nast Traveler's December 2012 issue.

Remodeled in 2021 and decorated with custom contemporary furnishings, The Caribbean SandCastle has a spacious interior plus extensive wrap-around decks and outside space. The Caribbean SandCastle’s great room, suspended over the beach, is divided into three spaces. The Entertainment area has a flat-screen TV, DVD, and hi-fi sound system. The kitchen, dining area, and breakfast nook offer contemporary cooking and dining with extensive beach and ocean views. The ultra-modern kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including French-door refrigerator, glass top range, wall oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The third space, the Chill Out area, hovers over the sea, giving a view and proximity to the water found in few houses anywhere in the world. Both the Chill Out Room and the Entertainment area have sofa beds (a total of 2 sofa beds in all).

The Caribbean SandCastle has four bedrooms, each with a luxurious bath (either en suite or across the hall) and an ocean-view deck. Two of the baths have showers; the other two have shower/tub combinations. Watch the sunset from your bedroom window, or step onto your deck for a morning coffee, feed the birds or fish, and listen to the Caribbean lapping on the sand. One bedroom has a king bed, two have queen beds, and one has twin beds that can be converted to a king. Each room has its own AC air handler and can set its own temperature.

Outside on the beach, beneath the elevated platform of the house, The Caribbean SandCastle has a large shaded dining area where you can grill your catch of the day and dine on the water’s edge. An outdoor shower is also located nearby at the back of the house for easy access to rinse off.

Amenities at The Caribbean SandCastle include full AC, WIFI, Apple TV, advanced water purification system, and laundry room with a washer and dryer. Two paddleboards and two kayaks are provided, including a large three-person kayak well equipped for fishing or taking a longer journey.

The town of Governors Harbour, a ten-minute drive from the property, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, where everyone knows everyone, is known for being very safe. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes.

Rates are for up to 8 guests, additional guests are $50 per night.

Great Week at Caribbean Sandcastle!
We had a great week at Caribbean Sandcastle! Our party consisted of 4 adults & 3 kids (aged 9, 11, 13). We flew into Governor's Harbor which was just minutes from the house, picked up our rental vehicle, and the property manager kindly allowed us to drop off our luggage on the porch since we couldn't check in early. The proximity of the house to the road was a non-issue for us. There is a small house next door, but we still felt like we had the beach to ourselves. And what a wonderful beach! The kids rotated from the beach to the pool to the hot tub all day long; it was perfect. We found some snorkeling masks under the house that the kids used. We brought a beach canopy tent with us and used it every day for shade on the beach, which I highly recommend. The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed several home cooked meals. One day we bought fresh fish from the fisherman who went out right in front of the house - talk about fresh seafood! The beds were all comfortable, there were plenty of bath and beach towels. The wireless speakers were a great idea and we used them constantly. The washer/dryer were large and efficient. The sofas were not comfortable, but most of the time we were playing games at the dining table anyway. Overall, the beach was fabulous, the pool/hot tub were wonderful, and we enjoyed our time at Caribbean Sandcastle!

Perfect Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for two weeks and loved every minute. The location is to die for. The beach is literally steps from the house. Shells galore, bountiful tide pools and calm seas. Beautiful sunsets. Every amenity you can think of. Kitchen has everything you could want. Open concept layout and two living areas. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Locaton is good and being right on Queen's Highway means you don't spend a lot of time making your way out of the neighborhoods getting there. Some road noise but you forget about it when you look at where you are. Would rent again and would recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was everything we were looking for. Very private beach, I think we saw maybe 7 or 8 people walking on the beach the entire week. The house was very nice and well taken care of. Property is as advertised. I would definitely return to this property for another vacation. Our toddler loved having the beach and ocean right out the backdoor. Sonya, the property manager was wonderful as well. She was there to help us whenever we needed anything before or during the trip.

PARADISE AWAITS YOU AT CARIBBEAN SANDCASTLE!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Caribbean Sandcastle! It's not our first time staying in this beautiful pristine home. We love the privacy this home offers, and the secluded beach is heaven on earth! The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you'll need to prepare everything from the basics to gourmet meals. The water pressure in the showers is comparable to the same pressure as back home. The bedding is so soft and comfy, and with the layout of the house , noise isn't a problem for those wanting to nap or have quiet time! I'm ready to book again! I'd like to add one thing... Upon our departure, we accidentally left a few valuable personal items behind. Before we got to the airport in North Eleuthera and realized this, I recieved a call from the property manager telling me that the housekeeping staff found the items and had them safely in their possession. They worked with us in getting them back safe and sound. We were very grateful. I love Eleuthera!

With three kids under the age of 9 we sought a home with useable beach and calm, shallow ocean waters. And we got. Exactly that.

A week at Sandcastle
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beach was spectacular with virtually no one there but us for the majority of time. The area under the house is not useful as the ceiling height is very low and it is used mostly as an area to store junk. They are building another house about 20 yards from this house so future privacy may be an issue. Kitchen is well stocked, AC and internet worked well. There is road noise in the front 2 bedrooms as the house is within feet of the main road. While I give it an overall 4, we would not stay here again due to the road noise and the house coming next door. We have stayed at many houses in Eleuthera over the years and this one is overpriced for what it offers.

Family Getaway
Location was a little too remote. No where to take the little ones for a walk except for the fairly busy highway. Strollers don't do well on beach sand. One of the toilets developed a bad leak but was fixed eventually. After a few showers in the morning the smell of sewage was overwhelming in the driveway. Lucky we did not have any odor in the house. No fault of the owners but part of Eleuthera lost water pressure for a few days which was an inconvenience. Drinking water also became very salty for the bulk of our stay but we heeded the advice of the owners and drank bottled water. Excursion from Eleuthera Outdoor Center to Spanish Wells was excellent and the most unique any of us has experienced.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Caribbean Sand Castle for some much needed rest and relaxation. It completely exceeded our expectations. The house is absolutely beautiful and is exactly as pictured. It is very spacious and there are numerous locations both inside and out to relax, enjoy a good book, or simply sit and enjoy the view. We also thoroughly enjoyed the available kayak and paddle boards as the water is unbelievably beautiful, calm, and refreshing. We will absolutely be back and I would highly recommend the house to anyone needing some peace and tranquility or anyone who likes to stay busy on the water. The pool was a wonderful treat as well! There is something to do for everyone. I also enjoyed chatting with the locals at the nearby shops as they were so warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to get back!

The house is perfectly located between James Cistern and Governors Harbour and only about a 50 minute drive from N. Eleuthera airport. The beach and water are to die for and we were basically the only ones on it the whole week we were there. Would definitely stay in the house again in one of our return trips!

Quite and relaxing. Loved the view and the calm waters and snorkeling was great. Only downside is it’s about 55 minute drive from the North Eleuthera airport, we couldn’t find flights into the Marsh Harbor airport. House was very clean and cozy. The hot tub had some issues heating while we were there but it was just installed and still a work in progress. My family loved staying there and we plan to come back!

Everything you could ask for and more. The kitchen is well stocked with ample cookware and utensils. The kayaks and paddleboards were a plus. It's close to town and the airport yet secluded. The owner and staff on the island have been fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit. Until then we will share our adventure with our friends and hopefully they can visit this diamond on the sand.
