Exclusive Bahamas Vacation Rentals
in Eleuthera?

Right, and I'd like to show you why it's a good idea to look for Bahamas vacation rentals on this particular island. My wife and I live here and on this page I'll show you where the best rental locations are.

Eleuthera has breathtaking beaches and some of the most spectacular beach house rentals in the Bahamas.

First I'm going to show you some awe-inspiring beaches on Eleuthera. On several of them, vacation homes are available for rent.

Then go to beach house rentals - the link is at the very bottom of this page - to see some of the best rental villas available in Eleuthera. From that page, write to Judy in Florida who will find one of the Bahamas vacation rentals that will meet your exact needs.

"Our" island above is situated 20 minutes by air east of Nassau, capital of The Bahamas. Eleuthera is on the right side in the satellite picture above. Notice the island's interesting shape. See, you are never far from a beach!


Where Are The Best Rental Locations in Eleuthera?

Most but not all of the best beaches and rental villas are on the right side of Eleuthera, meaning the area of...

  • Governor's Harbour also visible on the satellite photo above.
  • North Palmetto Point 5 miles south of Governor's--not on the satellite pic--with quite a number of rental villas.
  • Double Bay just south of Palmetto Point. A long beach, ideal for walking.
  • Windermere Island where Prince Charles and Diana used to vacation.
  • Winding Bay 18 miles further south, just north of Rock Sound, shown on the satellite photo above.

The above areas are all on the breezier right side of Eleuthera. Long, powdery pink-sand beaches. We just love them.


On the left side of the island -- the calmer and shallower one -- take a look at these two sandy beaches...

  • Ten Bay south of Governor's Harbour. A very pretty beach. Good for snorkeling, kayaking and fishing, too!

  • You will find lower priced rentals at Rainbow Bay in northern Central Eleuthera. Its sandy beach is relatively short. But as the island is particularly narrow at the Rainbow area, you can get to the Atlantic beaches on the right side in no time.

Most other rental places on the left or Caribbean side of Eleuthera have rocky shore lines.


What's So Interesting About Eleuthera?

There are only a few hotels. Instead you will find many rentals on or near deserted, pristine beaches. The reason?...

Winter residents - mainly from the US - offer their homes for rent. That's why you'll find so many Bahamas vacation rentals here. They are all in hand-picked locations. You will enjoy the very advantages the home owners were seeking for themselves.

Interested in 1-day excursions?... Visit Harbour Island in the North, the Island School in the South as well as the nearby snorkeling rock pools.

Or explore the fascinating Lighthouse beaches at the southern most tip of Eleuthera.

Central Eleuthera - the area between Governor's Harbour and Palmetto Point - is the center of attraction. It has several stores, banks - even a movie theater - and quite a number of restaurants.

The locals are very friendly and the crime rate is low.

Eleuthera is safe to explore. It is sparsely populated, has lots of empty space and offers tranquility, crystal clear turquoise waters and pure air. Ideal for any Bahamas vacation rentals, from luxurious to basic. You'll be loving this island.

All in all -- Eleuthera is still untouched by mass tourism. It's called a Family Island because people know each other. You will feel and enjoy that family atmosphere, too.
