Bella Mer is absolutely wonderful. It’s spacious, clean and has everything you’d need. Our family had a marvelous time snorkeling, fishing and enjoyed meals as well as drinks right by the sea. Property management was so helpful from the moment we booked should we need informations or assistance.

Island Paradise

Great location on the caribbean side of the island. Wind was strong (20-30 mph) out of the east most of our trip and being on the western side protected us from some of the wind. House was great and generator was needed as power went off numerous times. Little extras provided like beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, and beach cooler were greatly appreciated.

Beautiful Location

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: Love the house, it had everything we needed. Very clean and comfy. Snorkeling was fantastic. Ten Bay beach is very close by and a very nice beach. It is secluded so you cannot walk to any restaurants or shops, but its perfect if you want to relax and sit on the screened in porch and listen to the water. You feel like you have the whole cove to yourself. I would love to go back again one day!

Third time staying here so we must love it. Its just the perfect little house for us. Modern and clean - and we love the location. Eleuthera is getting quite popular but still so many private beaches - get out and explore!

Clear communications prior to arrival and very easy check in process. The house was spotless on our arrival. Beautiful view of the Caribbean. Kitchen items were very well stocked.. We didn’t need it, but the owners thoughtfully provided much in the way of snorkeling/ water equipment. Just a great stay all around. And a huge thank you to Kristen and Tennille for working with us on a bit of an early check-in - very much appreciated.

Great VRBO

Great VRBO. House was clean, kitchen had everything we needed. A few issues popped up during our stay but Tennielle and Kristin promptly took care of them. The screened in porch was damaged but was told new screens were on order, understand it takes awhile to get parts. The trampoline wasn't in water think the cover must have been damaged and on order. Snorkeling in front of house is great, Ralvin Buggies tours was a lot of fun. The best grocery store is The Market in Rock Sound. But for fresh veggies and bread Island Farms! We already miss Eleuthera!

Beautiful, Quiet and Comfy!

Bella Mer is such a pretty house with most any amenity you would need (even a wine chiller!). Very pretty interior with an amazing view! The beds were super comfortable and the a/c cooled the rooms quite quickly every evening. Lots of beach gear (although some better beach chairs would be our only request as that is a tough thing to bring but there were lots of floats to hang in the water). Tennielle was very attentive and quick to answer any questions we had. A great stay and we look forward to visiting again!

Great house, well stocked kitchen, and nice views of bay

We really enjoyed our stay at Bella Mer. It was very clean and the kitchen has everything we needed since we like to cook a lot. We chose this house for the location, as well as the generator due to frequent power outages and the outdoor grill. Needless to say we were very disappointed when we arrived to see there was not an outdoor grill. Also, we had 4 power outages over 3 days forcing us to cook by the light we brought from home because the generator wasn’t working. Power outages happen but not having the generator as promised was beyond disappointing since it was one of the reasons we chose Bella Mer. The snorkeling was excellent in the creek and from the dock. Even saw a sea turtle!

We are a family of 4 (teenage kids) and the house was a perfect size for us. Definitely recommend that you rent a car that is higher off the ground and has 4 wheel drive so that you're able to navigate the 1 mile road to the house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time. The house was clean and very well kept. Plenty of space for 3 couples and a baby. The screened in porch is a beautiful additional living space. There are some life jackets , snorkel gear and a paddle board for use while there. Also plenty of beach towels. Beautiful and private. Enjoyed snorkeling directly off the properties ladder in the cove just south. Light house beach was our favorite spot we visited on the island , worth the 2 mile walk on the beach. Such a beautiful quiet island. The host was Very nice and responded quickly.

A wonderful peaceful stay in Paradise

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: Bella Mer was the home we chose after being unable to rent our previous longstanding preferred home. I’m so glad we did! Bella Mer was the absolute perfect spot for us. Our priorities are solitude and snorkeling. Bella Mer is perfect on that front. The home was immaculate and well appointed. Not too big and not too small. Just right. The snorkeling on site is fantastic with Kemp’s Creek being easily accessible. Nightly sunsets were magical. Tennille the property manager was delightful and responsive, though we were able to find everything we needed. It was nice to know she was a quick WhatsApp message away. We love central Eleuthera for its ready accessibility to the rest of the island and Bella Mer is a perfect launching point for island adventures. We fully intend to return. We truly could not have been happier with Bella Mer, in fact just a few days into our stay we agreed that this was our new home away from home.

Bellamazing!

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: Bella Mer is everything that's described and then some. The house has everything you need. It's immaculately clean (thank you Tennielle), the kitchen is fabulous if you plan on cooking, and Ten Bay beach is literally just around the bend. The road to the house is pretty bad as other reviews noted, but once you're there, you'll love the remoteness and privacy. The floating trampoline is nice for sunning or just grab a float from the porch and a cold beer and float around in the water. Don't hesitate to rent this house; you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic stay

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: The house was clean and well stocked, with an incredible outdoor area where we could end each day relaxing in the water. We really enjoyed the stay.By far, the best selling point of this house was the backup generator. Power went out multiple times while we were in Eleuthera, and the generator here kicked on each time. We spent a couple of days in a different house where we had to sleep in the heat - we were thrilled when it was time for Bella Mer!The road to the house is pretty rough, but we got used to it quickly in our SUV. I'd recommend bringing sealable bags for any open food, as there were some ants that got into things a couple of times, but there was bug spray under the sink and that took care of it. Nothing you wouldn't expect at any house in a remote area.Would recommend the house - we loved the stay at Bella Mer!

Wonderful stay in Eleuthera!

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 loved Bella Mer! It was private and quaint — had almost everything we could have needed. Loved the back yard/ocean access. We enjoyed snorkeling around the point to the left and down toward Kemp’s Creek — we saw Teddy the turtle and stingrays, many fish, starfish, etc. It was fairly close to Governor’s Harbor (20 min) & maybe 30 min from the airport. We explored far north and far south, and this location made that convenient! The bed was SO COMFY too — one of the better ones we have ever slept on in a VRBO/Airbnb. If I were to give any tips at all, I would say that it would be handy to have scissors in the kitchen and bars of soap available for showering and also some drinking water, since the tap water is not recommended to drink. Finding the bottle and where to get water was a bit confusing but we figured it out with Tennielle’s help ($5.50 for a 5 gallon refill at a local store). Nice to be able to text her with questions! Handy! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay — we loved it!!!

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: This house is amazing! It has an amazing view, access to the water, TONS of water toys including water shoes, snorkel fins, masks, various floats, and even paddle boards. The house was very clean and stocked with all the necessities that we needed such as toilet paper, towels, and every dish you would need. The washer and dryer came in handy to wash the beach towels that are provided as well. The road is a little bumpy to get to the house but completely worth it. It also has a screened in porch which was a life saver and let us still be able to enjoy the view and being outside without getting bit by the dreaded no-see-ums that come out around dusk. We contacted the property manager about check out and she responded very quickly. I would definitely recommend this property to everyone. Queens bath and the blue hole at the north end of the island were amazing! All the food was amazing too!

Fantastic House and Location!

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 had a wonderful vacation and really enjoyed our time at Bella Mer. The house is very well appointed and is exactly as described and was immaculately clean upon our arrival . It has everything you might want or need to prepare your own meals. We especially enjoyed the dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer as we didn’t have to bring as much. The screened in porch is great for morning coffee and coming in from the water.Tennielle, the caretaker ,was very friendly and accommodating. She let us put our cold groceries in the refrigerator early as we were coming to Bella Mer from a few days in Rainbow Bay and had to check out there at 10:00am. The snorkeling from Bella Mer is fantastic! Go left and follow the rocky shoreline past the Kemp’s Creek opening about 100 yards. There are Protruding rocks with channels to swim through. We saw nurse sharks, sea turtles, huge crabs, starfish, sting rays and millions of fish. We snorkeled every day except our Lighthouse Beach day (highly recommend) and did two night snorkels, one night starting right in front of Bella Mer.Ten Bay beach is right around the corner and is a perfect calm beach. And lastly, the sunsets from Bella Mer are beautiful. We will definitely be back!
