CaresAway...
Elegant And Comfortable
Eleuthera Vacation Rental

This brand new (2006) Eleuthera vacation rental CaresAway is a villa on a gorgeous pink-sand beach. It has been described by a visitor as Heaven on Earth and it certainly is.

My wife and I know this unique and very private ocean-front home well because it is owned by friends of ours. We love it for its spacious, open configuration and casual elegance.

The house is tastefully decorated throughout, and the lush landscaping makes for a delightful setting. Look at all the beautiful coconut trees around the house!

Vacation rental villa from outside

This Eleuthera vacaction rental is fully air-conditoned. It offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. And after a long swim or snorkeling tour you will enjoy the outside hot-water shower.

Six complete snorkeling sets for adults and children will allow the whole family to go snorkeling.

Beach view from dune

How about enjoying your morning coffee sitting atop the dune?...

Or dreaming the island paradise dream while sipping your favorite drink out here?

View of the beach

The best beaches in the Bahamas really are on Eleuthera. And the beach at CaresAway is one of them.

The kids will enjoy the gently sloping beach which is a great play area for younger children.

Nearby reefs provide varied snorkeling and diving opportunities. On the hard packed sand you can walk for over an hour from the house without passing another building - and usually not even another person.

Let's take a tour now of Eleuthera vacaction rental CaresAway...

CaresAway living room

First the fantastic great room. This 400 square feet living space has ocean views to three sides. One of the two seating areas is facing the ocean. The other is oriented toward the entertainment center (not visible on the photo above).

This large living room is a comfortable spots for reading, listening to music, watching a movie, or just gazing out at cruise ships passing by on the Atlantic.

Dining room

One renter wrote: "The house is not only gorgeous but it's incredibly well-equipped". The photo above shows just part of the proof.

Open kitchen

Completely equipped kitchen. It has all new appliances - more details below - and a fully equipped laundry room.

Master bedroom

Master bedroom - queen size bed - with ocean view. The furniture is island-made and the bathroom has a glass block walk-in shower.

Second bedroom

Above is the second queen bedroom. What you don't see on the above photo is the fantastic views of the ocean in front of the bed and the garden view to the left.

The third bedroom opens onto a sun deck overlooking a beautiful garden area. That room has two singles in a bunk configuration and two singles in a trundle bed. Adults and children use the room, depending on the nature of the group.

Entry hall

The second and third bedroom are to the right, behind the arch of the entry hall above.

Let's take a look outside and see the lush landscaping surrounding this beautiful Eleuthera vacation rental villa...

Porch

A wonderful place to read and relax. See the owner with his book? 850 square feet of shaded porches are in front of the house overlooking the ocean.

Eleuthera vacation rental CaresAway is perfect for a summer vacation, too. Climate in the Bahamas?... Just click.

Shady grove

Imagine basking in the shade of a sea grape tree with a view of the turquoise waters and the pink-sand beach. To relax the owners love this spot best.
