Waterfront. Private sea entry. Gazebo, Kayaks, Wifi. 300ft to Rainbow Beach


Our listed weekly rate is for 2 people. Additional people are $175/week per person (children under 14 are discounted half, please contact us for the age discount). This allows us to offer our house at reasonable rates to both couples and larger groups. Property is not suitable for ages 6 and under.

MINIMUM RENTAL AGE 25. Owner approval required prior to adding more guests after initial booking agreement.

We have minimum booking lengths set but will consider shorter bookings. Please inquire directly for shorter bookings.

Cancellation Policy: We refund reservations cancelled more than six months in advance. For all other cancellations we refund if we can rebook the time that you reserved. We do not refund for late arrival, leaving early, or no shows. We strongly recommend travelers insurance.

You are ON THE WATER. Walk out your front door and down the private walkway into the Caribbean. Swim and snorkel over coral reefs at water’s edge that are home to over 10 species of colorful tropical fish. A short way out is a broad sandbar 3 to 5 feet deep that is excellent for wading and swimming.

Sip morning coffee on our dock at water’s edge. Enjoy breakfast in the gazebo or veranda. Relax in the hammocks. Grill your evening meal on our shaded veranda while you catch the cooling breezes and watch the sunset.

We provide three kayaks that can be launched from our sea walkway for exploring Rainbow Bay.

Rainbow Beach is a minute stroll away. Shallow and calm it is a wonderful beach for kids and adults and offers great snorkeling along the jetty. Relax under tiki huts with picnic tables and benches (seasonal). We provide noodle floats, beach towels, and beach chairs. It is a ten minute walk from Dolphin House to the Atlantic side of the island where you will find more beaches to explore.

Dolphin House offers privacy and year round comfortable living inside and out. Our huge veranda has comfortable seating areas, tables for dining that sit four or six, two reclining loungers, lounge chairs, and a propane grill.

Two of our three bedrooms have sea views and en suite bathrooms. These bedrooms are situated at opposite ends of the home with kitchen and living/dining area in between. This floor plan provides privacy and distance. The third bedroom with bath off the central hallway has a view of gardens front and side. Open the doors and windows and enjoy natural breezes from the Caribbean and the Atlantic. Ceiling fans and standing fans in all rooms contribute to additional air flow.

Just outside our veranda doors you can enjoy noodle floats, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, hammock lounging, and grilling without ever having to get into a car. Rainbow Beach is just a minute walk away.

But of course Eleuthera offers so much more. Be sure to explore deserted beaches, local community shops and restaurants. Meet friendly people with welcoming smiles. Visit Eleuthera and Dolphin House. You will want to return.

The property and location is perfect. Brenda the caretaker stopped in briefly just to check on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. She does a bbq Friday and Saturday’s which is a must to stop in. The food is fantastic. The host responds immediately with any questions. The property is beautiful. Our 17 year old son spent most of the time fishing and snorkeling right in front of the house. Caught bone fish and barracuda. Seen rays and sea turtles. We will definitely book again.

Great House in Rainbow!!!!
Only thing that was weird is you have to go pick up keys. We went and Brenda had already put keys at place for us to get. A lock box would be so much easier especially with how flights and everything get delayed etc. Other than that house was absolutely great. A/C works great, very functional house, and being right on water was incredible. Walk down the steps into water, last step slippery and you are in beautiful water, gazebo great just need the bug spray, I brought the foggers and man they worked great. Two master suites on on each side plus the third bedroom and bath on one side is great layout. Kitchen totally functional with everything you need to cook, and location is about 10 minutes to James Cistern good shopping, liquor store etc. 30 minutes to Governors Harbor, 30 to Gregory Town etc. Would say nice being home to our beds, nice pillows there would work wonders but when we hit em, we were tired from all the exploration, diving, fishing etc. No power outages while there but day we left, bad storm hit so trees down on queens highway, power and water out so hope all good down there. From talkin with locals, Covid really hurt. A lot left to Nassau so things were left. With Jacks Bay, Disney and new resort in Winding Bay, people coming back, but we noticed difference since last time, but the island is so beautiful with so much to see and do. Will drive a lot but you gotta to get out and explore. Food was great, service too. We will be back again!!!!!

Perfect location
Love the location, swim access, and views of this property!! The communication was excellent and we will most definitely be back! Just a heads up it is a bit dated, but it’s comfortable and provided all the necessities we needed for the week. We brought dried goods and cooler bag with frozen food to supply majority of our food. Stores and restaurants are pricey, but we still enjoyed some local restaurants too!

Host profile image
Retired couple. Spend 4 months a year at Dolphin House in various seasons.

Why they chose this property

We discovered Eleuthera in 2002 when we were visiting a relative who had an island home. We loved the island, the friendly people, the beautiful deserted beaches, the warm Caribbean Sea and the dramatic Atlantic Ocean just a few minutes across the island. It was a quiet place close to nature without the distractions of crowded tourist attractions. We bought our beautiful home on the Caribbean Sea in 2005 and set to work immediately to make it more beautiful. We spend several months there each year in different seasons expanding the gardens and making improvements to the house. We enjoy and take pride in making our home a comfortable and welcoming place to share with our many rental guests.

Our daughter Kendra manages the booking process for Dolphin House.
