Description
Please click on the "Ask the owner a question" button and I will get back to you with the most recent information on Covid-19 travel restrictions in the Bahamas.
Indigo Seas is a tropical, secluded two bedroom, two bathroom cottage overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The cottage is approximately 250 feet from the water, and elevated by about 70 feet, providing a spectacular, 180 degree, unobstructed view of the ocean.
Situated on Ocean Drive in Rainbow Bay on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, there are many beautiful beaches nearby, including Rainbow Bay Beach on the sheltered 'Caribbean' side of the island. Rainbow Bay Beach is one of the best beaches on the island, is calm and shallow, offers great snorkeling, and provides shaded picnic tables and benches. Indigo Seas is also within walking distance of the Atlantic side beaches Smuggler's Beach, Hidden Beach, Twin Beach and Come & Go Beach, and chances are good that you will have all of them entirely to yourselves. Ocean Drive is a quiet, scenic road that runs parallel to the ocean for several miles, perfect for walking or jogging.
Indigo Seas has front and back decks to enjoy the fantastic, panoramic views of the ocean from James Point in the South to Harbour Island in the North. You can relax on the deck and watch the cruise ships go by. The island is only a half mile wide at this spot, so you have easy access to both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides.
The front door opens onto an open plan kitchen and dining area. Beyond is the living room, connected by french doors to the full width back deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The master bedroom off of the living room has a full view of the ocean and both bedrooms have cross breezes from ample windows on two sides and large ceiling and floor fans. The house is furnished with natural wicker that stands on a varnished plank floor. Large overhead fans accentuate the tray ceilings throughout the house. All your living is contained on one floor with three step access from the driveway to the front deck and front door.
The house is connected to town water and also has a 10,000 gallon rainwater cistern under the deck as a backup water supply. Water outages are not uncommon in the out islands so a backup water supply is essential.
Our central location on Eleuthera provides for convenient sightseeing on this 110 mile long island, and day trips to Lighthouse Beach at the southern tip or Harbour Island and Spanish Wells at the northern tip. Short flights from Miami or Fort Lauderdale in Florida (45 minutes), Atlanta, Charlotte, and Nassau (15 minutes) arrive at Governor's Harbour airport (GHB) 15 minutes to the south, and North Eleuthera airport (ELH) 35 minutes to the north. There is also a ferry available from Nassau. Rental cars or taxis are readily available at the airport. Grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and beverage stores are all within a 5-10 minute drive. The nearby Rainbow Inn has some of the best food on the island, as well as a bar and live music.
Eleuthera is known for it's pristine and deserted pink sand beaches and it's friendly out island charm. Tourists are well received on the island, and there is very little crime, so you can enjoy your stay and explore this historic island with no concerns for safety.
Please have a look at a video tour of the house and our view of the ocean. Don't hesitate to phone or email us with questions, as we love to talk about Eleuthera. We would love to provide suggestions on airlines, car rentals, the best beaches and restaurants, and any other information that you need in planning your vacation on Eleuthera.

What a view!!!
The view of the crashing ocean waves from the master bedroom window, living room area, and back porch was amazing! I loved sleeping to the sound of the ocean. Great house, spotless, nicely decorated, felt at home! Great experience!

Thanks for the kind review. Sounds like you had some big waves during your stay.
Indigo Seas January 2020
Just return home from visiting the beautiful island of Eleuthera. We loved indigo seas, it was a great location for traveling north and south on the island. The house is beautiful and comfortable and had everything we needed for a great week. Enjoyed meeting our neighbor Timmy.

This is paradise!
Indigo Seas is a beautiful and well appointed space for your stay in Eleuthera. Located in Rainbow Bay area of the island it is centrally located to travel north and south to see what the island has to offer. Walking distance to Smugglers Beach, Twin Beach and a short drive to Hidden Beach and Rainbow Beach which had some of the best snorkeling on the island. We rented a car from caretaker and it was the best way to get around and in some rough terrain for our adventures. The house is a perfect space with all that is needed for a great week - there were 2 couples and we spent most of our time on the large deck looking at stars and enjoying the silence. Dave was very responsive to any needs and Terese was amazing from meeting us at airport, getting Wifi working, and communicating planned power outages (happens on remote beautiful islands sometimes). The info provided at the house was great for scoping out restaurants, beaches, and other things to do. If I go back to Eleuthera, this is where I will stay and you should too!

Amazing place!!!
We really loved this house, it’s super cute! The kitchen is well stocked with utensils for any dish that you want to prepare. In fact, the whole house is well stocked with everything you need! There is a beautiful view outside that is perfect for watching the sunset. We always had a nice breeze too! The home is at a very convenient location in the middle of the island, making it very easy to get around the island. The owner was great and always in contact with us. The overall experience was incredible! This was our first time in Eleuthera but not the last because we are planning to go back as soon as we can and we are definitely going back to Indigo Sea!

Beautiful space
Very comfortable home with a beautiful view and garden. House had everything we needed for the stay and was very comfortable to lounge around in. Kitchen and grill were in good order. We never needed the AC, though it was available for use. In close proximity to beaches on the Atlantic and Caribbean sides.
