Rob C. from Hendersonville, Tn United States not recommends this vacation rental.

Beach was spectacular with virtually no one there but us for the majority of time. The area under the house is not useful as the ceiling height is very low and it is used mostly as an area to store junk. They are building another house about 20 yards from this house so future privacy may be an issue. Kitchen is well stocked, AC and internet worked well. There is road noise in the front 2 bedrooms as the house is within feet of the main road. While I give it an overall 4, we would not stay here again due to the road noise and the house coming next door. We have stayed at many houses in Eleuthera over the years and this one is overpriced for what it offers.

  We are glad you enjoyed our beach, but very sorry for the issues you encountered. Fortunately the owners arrived July 1 and have already addressed most of your concerns. The underside of the house has been completely cleaned out and will be maintained and pressure washed. They are also installing dry storage underneath the house that will get most of the items completely out of view. Of the hundreds of guests who have stayed in the house over the years, only a couple of the lightest sleepers have ever complained about road noise. We now have white noise machines available, which drown out potential outside noise. But again, as you can see from the many reviews, this has not been an issue for the vast majority of guests. While it is disappointing to have another house being built next door, there’s not much we can do about that, but at least construction will be done in October and it is owned by a very nice family. This property is one of the most popular on the island, renting over 40 weeks a year. It achieves that by being fairly priced and delivering a great guest experience. Please see our long list of 5 star reviews.

William T. from Charlotte, NC United States recommends this vacation rental.

We missed the first two days of our vacation because of American Airlines cancelling our flight out of Charlotte.
Upon arrival we were overwhelmed with the Caribbean Sandcastle, the house and location is fantastic. First rental for us ever that the house was more stunning than the pictures posted.

ANGELICA C. from HOUSTON, TEXAS United States recommends this vacation rental.

We stayed at the Caribbean Sand Castle for some much needed rest and relaxation. It completely exceeded our expectations. The house is absolutely beautiful and is exactly as pictured. It is very spacious and there are numerous locations both inside and out to relax, enjoy a good book, or simply sit and enjoy the view. We also thoroughly enjoyed the available kayak and paddle boards as the water is unbelievably beautiful, calm, and refreshing. We will absolutely be back and I would highly recommend the house to anyone needing some peace and tranquility or anyone who likes to stay busy on the water. The pool was a wonderful treat as well! There is something to do for everyone. I also enjoyed chatting with the locals at the nearby shops as they were so warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to get back!

Paradise! If you can't find relaxation and peace of mind here, you won't find it anywhere! The home is immaculate, the surrounding's are pristine. I cant wait to go back again! There were no surprises, the home is exactly as it's portrayed on the website/ social media. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked. The beds are comfy. The beach is the most peaceful place on earth! We rebooked for July!

You won’t be disappointed!!!

The house was beautiful BUT the beach & water was out of this world. It The water was perfect & calm, and the pool was the perfect size. We hardly left the house except once for a boating excursion. We recommend having groceries delivered before arriving for convenience.

Great location and terrific house. Only problem was no hot water in the showers for the whole week and no one came out to fix in spite of many requests made.

  The hot water heater has been replaced! On this island, even something that simple can be a challenge, but the owner replaced the unit and the problem is solved.

Mary D. from Parker, CO United States recommends this vacation rental.

Wow! Great family vacation in this beautiful home on a white sand beach on this laid-back island. The home speaks for itself. Everything you could ask for and more. The kitchen is well stocked with ample cookware and utensils. The kayaks and paddleboards were a plus. It's close to town and the airport yet secluded. The owner and staff on the island have been fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit. Until then we will share our adventure with our friends and hopefully they can visit this diamond on the sand.

This home is located on a secluded gorgeous beach. Everything was absolutely perfect. If you are looking to relax, unwind, and recharge this is your perfect vacation home! The caretaker of the home, is so helpful and available at all times if needed. Our children called it the best vacation ever.

Corey F. from Auburn, AL United States recommends this vacation rental.

Our families had an incredible stay at the Caribbean Sandcastle. We loved the remote location of this private beach, overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. The kids loved the new swimming pool, only steps from the living room. Highlights of our trip included postcard sunsets, fishing for grouper right off of the beach, and beating an x-NFL linebacker in a foot race on the beach. Can't wait to return to this incredible place!

A guest from Montauk, NY United States recommends this vacation rental.

We had a great stay at Brandons house. The house was immaculate with lots of thoughtful details like yeti travel mugs, brand new umbrellas and beach chairs, usb charging station, etc. By far the best part though is the beach! Beautiful calm water perfect for our group of 5 kids to play in. The only part of the house that wasn't exactly what we had hoped for was the location right on the main road. This made it loud at night if you left the windows open on that side of the house but as soon as we switched to sleeping with the AC it wasn't a problem. The pool wasn't finished yet but we are already planning a return trip to check it out! Brandon and his entire crew were super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

The house is just great!!

We have 4 couples staying in the house. It was comfortable for all of us to have enough space when needed.
The location is really nice with few homes in beautiful sandy beaches this house is perfect.
The house manager was Sonya was very quick to respond even when I locked myself out of the safe! “Yikes”.
The new pool and hot tub are a nice feature as well.

Sarah P. from Winchester, VA United States recommends this vacation rental.

This house is exactly as the pictures show it to be! The house is perfectly located between James Cistern and Governors Harbour and only about a 50 minute drive from N. Eleuthera airport. The beach and water are to die for and we were basically the only ones on it the whole week we were there. Would definitely stay in the house again in one of our return trips!

Overall a fantastic place to enjoy some r & r at the beach. Beautiful beach and water - sunset views. House is in great shape and is quite comfortable. Management team was very responsive and helpful. A few suggested additions - more substantial and comfortable beach/patio furniture - especially lounge chairs. A beach umbrella and cooler would be nice as well.

Wonderful vacation!

My family and I had an incredible time at the Cool Cloud house over spring break this past March. The house was beautiful as was the beach right out the back door. Loved having the kayaks to use whenever we wanted! There were plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. Never had a problem with the wifi or tv. We enjoyed everything about our stay!

Marcus L. from Carmel, IN United States recommends this vacation rental.

My wife Amber and I wanted a secluded vacation in the Caribbean to celebrate our wedding, and boy was Cool Cloud the PERFECT spot for what we wanted! Nestled right off the main “highway” about 5 minutes from Governors Harbor Airport, Cool Cloud is a nicely gated property with the beach and calm crystal clear Caribbean waters right out your door. The beach is in Pristine shape and so secluded, that we saw 1 person walk by us the whole week we were there.

The inside of the property is nice as well with a fully loaded kitchen to cook anything in. We caught fresh fish and were able to cook it with ease in the kitchen here. The bedroom came with a nice AC unit which kept us cool when we needed it at night. Having cable and WiFi was handy as well for the one night we stayed in and relaxed to some old episodes of Friends while eating our fresh fish we had spear fished that day.

The wraparound deck is a wonderful touch and a great place to sit and star gaze at night as you listen to the waves gently break on the beach.

There were plenty of chairs and toys to play with, although we brought our own giant inflateable raft to use in the ocean since there is no pool here. We did leave the raft and electric pump for the next lucky guest!

Cool Cloud will forever be enshrined in our memory as the best villa in the Caribbean for a low key and easy living vacation we require from time to time. We’ve island hopped to a few spots in the Caribbean and Cool Cloud on Eluthrea may be our number one spot. We’re already thinking about returning again in 2019!!

Amber L. from Carmel, IN United States recommends this vacation rental.

My husband, Marcus, and I fell in love with this villa and Eleuthera in July 2018. So much so that we took my brother and sister-in-law back two weeks ago and it DID NOT disappoint. We will be returning AGAIN soon.

The inside of the property is clean and spacious. The kitchen is stocked with cooking appliances and some spices.
All other condiments must be purchased. Each bedroom came with a nice AC unit which kept us cool when we needed it at night. Plenty of beach towels and bathroom towels are provided but there is a washer and dryer there is needed to use. I would suggest letting the towels air dry outside though.

We ended up with locals Brenda and Patrick cooking for us our first night (lots of places closed on Sundays) and we were going to have time to shop and didn't really want to cook and clean. It is highly recommended! We ended up with leftovers for 2 additional nights.

Another recommendation is Mo Sweets Bakery. She made the most delicious strawberry cheesecake and will deliver right to the house. We picked at it all week.

The entire house has a wraparound deck which is nice but we rarely used it as we spent all our time in the water or traveling to different sites/beaches on the island. Cool Cloud did add some additional deck couch seating in case you want to lounge up there.

As people have mentioned, the beach chairs are lacking a bit but they are still usable. We again brought an even bigger inflatable raft this year and a new pump. It has been donated to Cool Cloud for future renters as it is nice to just chill on the water. There is also an extension cord and anchor that will hold the raft in place. Look for the center-block in the water and attach the anchor to it. There are a few kayaks to use and we took them during low tide to the island just north of us. It was a hike but ended up seeing a shark!

A guest from Springfield, Missouri United States recommends this vacation rental.

We enjoyed a week at Cool Cloud. The house and beach are lovely and the sunsets magnificent! The location is great for groceries and exploring the island. We made it to the fish fry in Governors Harbor and Lighthouse beach, then went north to Jeans Bay dock and ferried over to Spanish Wells. We loved our beach too and spent some days around the house. Although we never met any property managers or maintenance people, we were comfortable with most of it. The house sits tightly between the beach and the highway and the traffic noise and headlights were heavy on weekend nights. The freezer door handle was barely holding on at the top screw and a cabinet door handle came off. Otherwise the house was in good condition. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean. The bathrooms were quite dark. If you wear makeup or need to use a mirror, the living room had enough light and we all used the mirror in there. Things we loved: comfortable beds, pillows and bedding, ample towels, great water quality, great a/c, safe decks and steps, location to points of interest. Things we didn't love: no dispenser for 5 gal water bottles, no serving bowls or plastic food storage containers, no mirrors or tvs in bedrooms, rusty old beach chairs. Overall, we enjoyed the house. I would have fixed a couple things had there been a screw driver. These places take abuse from renters I know. Stay here folks, you'll enjoy it!

Wonderful visit!

Teresa M. from Caddo Mills, TX US recommends this vacation rental.

This house was perfect for our family! Steps away from the Carribean, the water was so calm and perfect for our 3 young children. The house was a short drive to groceries, fresh fish piers, or beaches on the Atlantic side. Sonya, the property manager, was so sweet and helpful! I would definitely recommend this house for anyone’s stay.
