Wonderful, relaxing stay

Belle Mare was just perfect for us. The home was comfortable and spacious, with great AC and everything we needed. The community was quiet and peaceful. Snorkeling at Oleander was some of the best we found on the island and the Kayaks were fun. Eleuthera is gorgeous.

Family Dream

We had an amazing time staying in this home. Location was excellent, the snorkeling in the bay was awesome and perfect for my kids. We stayed during a three day storm that shut the island down so we didn’t get the chance to do all that we wanted for activities but we’re lucky to stay in this home during the storm which was cozy and perfect for our family. It was a dream vacation for us, hoping we can come back in the future with better weather next time.

Tranquility

As sion as we opened the door to the property, we fell in love with it. It was truly a home away from home. My husband loved the porch with the scenic ocean view. I fell in love with the intetior, so clean and inviting. Willl consider staying there again on my next trip to Central Eleuthera.

Oleander Gem

This is our second stay at Bella Mar, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. The front porch in the morning was a sure favorite with the hummingbirds and coffee. The bay just steps away offers endless fun and the home had plenty of snorkel gear as well as kayaks although we never used. This is a great home in a super location that is well kept and inviting.

All the comforts of home in a cozy beach villa!

You never know what you are going to get in a short term rental until you walk into the place...no matter how great the ad sounds. This Beach-side Cottage lives up to it's discription and so much more!!! The home is very clean with comfortable living room, bathrooms and bedrooms. It is equiped with beach outing equipment--snorkles, masks, fins, beach chairs and beach towels. There are two kayaks available for use as well. All items are in great condition and layed out for ease of use. The owner has special touches everywhere in the house including a video library, great wifi and a house phone for local calls. Drinking water is also provided in a well equiped kitchen should you wish to stay in an cook a meal or two. The owner has also put a guide together for information about the area and services available in the local proximity such as restaurants, car rental providers, groceries and liquor stores. This is an excelent option for your stay on Eleuthera!
