Description
High Seas is a spacious, hilltop 2 king size bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage with wonderful views over the blue Atlantic waters. Whether sitting on the deck or inside the house you have a view of the water. Make a coffee using the Keurig or drip coffee machine and watch the sunrise from the deck or lounging on the sofas inside the great room every morning.
The large, open-plan great room is airy and cool thanks to its high ceilings and many windows. There is AC in the living area and both bedrooms as well as ceiling fans. Enjoy your meals on the 400 square foot wrap-around deck with two sets of French doors opening onto the deck. With the cool sea breezes, you can watch the waves breaking at James Point, fishing boats from Harbour Island, or a cruise ship sailing past.
The kitchen has luxury appliances, and a central island/breakfast bar for you to prepare your meals and socialize. The master bedroom has a king size bed and stunning sea views. It leads into a large spa-like ensuite bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. The guest bedroom also has a king size bed. The caribbean-style guest bathroom, accessible from the great room, has a bathtub with a stand up shower.
Wireless high speed internet has been installed, and is available for your use. There is a 32" Smart TV with a Netflix subscription available for your use as well as Apple TV and a DVD player. There is also a local cell phone available which you can buy a cheap plan and turn the cell into a WiFi hotspot zone if the internet goes out.
Check out HGTV's Bahamas Life series, 'This Is Not Los Angeles' to see video of High Seas. You can watch it for free on sling.com if you sign up for 7 days.
There are two single person kayaks located at Rainbow Bay Beach for easy access, four beach chairs, snorkeling gear, inflatables, noodles, beach towels and two large coolers (ice packs in the freezer) available for your use.
My fantastic housekeeper lives three streets away and is available for any questions that arise during your stay. She also has a vehicle rental business and you definitely need a vehicle to explore Eleuthera and to get down some of the beach roads. I will happily arrange vehicle rental for you with pick up from any airport you arrive into.
'High Seas' is located on a very quiet road, with unobstructed views across native vegetation to the sea. At night, the only sound you will hear is the breaking of the waves on the shore, approximately 400 yards away. Look up and see the stars! There is a hammock for relaxing on the deck, lounge chairs on the deck and garden and many beautiful native trees.
The cottage comes with bedding, towels, beach towels and a washing machine. You can dry clothes outside on the washing line. Dries super fast with great weather!
The property is situated in beautiful Rainbow Bay which is a perfect mid way point on the island so you can head North or South and easily explore. Rainbow Bay is a quiet beach community with a particularly lovely beach on the Caribbean side with palapas and kayaks as well as a very popular restaurant, The Rainbow Inn (pizza nights on Mondays and Thursdays); it takes 4 minutes to walk to the restaurant from High Seas.
I have a copy of The Beach Book at the house. This will help you discover all the beaches although it will take a few vacations to see all of them!

About The Owner
A couple of years ago, I island hopped around the Bahamas, only briefly touching on Eleuthera. I decided to go back and properly explore Eleuthera and fell in love with the island. I am British and have lived in Los Angeles for the past 21 years, but dream of retiring in Eleuthera one day. Until then, I am happy to share my piece of paradise with you.
The house was purchased in 2016.
From the photos, to the video, did not do High Seas justice. The minute I saw High Seas in person and stepped into it, I knew this was the place for me.
What makes this house unique is the quietness of the location, combined with the security of living in the peaceful community of Rainbow Bay.

High Sea's
Great property. Central location. Tremendous host - Jackie. Her library of information was invaluable. Restaurants, beaches and other activities were profiled and made our decision on what to and where to go very easy. Laura - Jackie's local representative is fabulous sharing local knowledge and insight. The combo made for a great stay. High Sea's central location was perfect for exploring the whole island. Very comfortable & spacious accommodations for 1 -4. people. Loved how bright and cheery High Sea's is. Lots of windows! Big Views! Very clean. Great Deck! Loved our 10 days at High Sea's and on Eleuthera! -

I am so happy reading your review of how much you enjoyed High Seas and Eleuthera. Laura is a huge help and my eyes and ears on the island. Thank you for loving my piece of paradise and looking after it. Please do come back again. All the very best to you Chuck and Karen - Jackie.
Love this house!!
It was so great to be back for a quick getaway! I love High Seas. The views are spectacular and the house has everything you need to relax and enjoy. I was so happy to see the newly added pergola on the deck - just beautiful! Added just that right amount of shade. Thank you to Jackie and Laura for making this so easy.

Hello Barbara, so glad you made it back and enjoyed the new pergola for some shade! Thank you for being a wonderful guest. Stay Safe, Jackie
Wonderful stay in Rainbow Bay!
We had a relaxing week at High Seas and did not tire of looking out at the Atlantic. Laura and Bill are personable, responsive and excellent property managers. Thank you, Jackie, for sharing your home with us.

Hi Terri and Milford
I am very happy you both enjoyed your stay at High Seas. Thank you for your kind words about Laura and Bill. I could not own this home without all their help.
Thank you for looking after my place.
Take Care, Jackie
Sunny days on High Seas
Complete with breezes off the Atlantic, High Seas is a wonderful, mid-island base of operations. Has all the extras - beach equipment, kayaks, towels. Excellent bed. Great hosts (property manager Laura and owner Jackie) and responsive.

Hi Dave, I am happy you chose High Seas for your return trip to Rainbow Bay and you loved it. Thanks for looking after my place. Cheers, Jackie
Just What We Needed - Quiet, Private, Views of the Ocean
My wife and I really enjoyed our time at High Seas. Never slept better while listening to the ocean and feeling the sea breezes. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking, cleaning, linens and beach activities. The only thing missing is a second chaise lounge for the deck.
The cottage is near the middle of Eleuthera which makes it good for sightseeing and beach hunting. We relied heavily on The Beach Book to point us to the best beaches, each one is an adventure.
Jackie's' notes about local restaurants and stores were extremely helpful. Remember, cash is a must and don't expect to find your favorite brands or foods. You get what you get so don't throw a fit.
Our favorite find was the 1648 Restaurant at the French Leave Resort just north of Governors Harbor. Beautiful setting, excellent staff and wonderful food. All that and no more expensive than some of the local places.
Jackie, thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your home in Eleuthera.

Hello Rex, I loved reading your review and hearing what a wonderful time you and your wife had at High Seas and on Eleuthera. “You get what you get and don't throw a fit” had me chuckling. I am trying to get that second chaise fixed after a guest broke it but failing that I shall be shipping a new chaise lounge out. Definitely need two on the deck to enjoy lounging! Thank you for looking after my piece of paradise. Hold onto your vacation memories and come back anytime. Take Care, Jackie
