About this property

High Seas as seen on HGTV’s ‘Bahamas Life’. Starlink internet, solar power.

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 and watch the sunrise from the deck or lounging on the sofas inside the great room.

The large, open-plan living area 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. Solar power with battery back up so no problems with any power outages. 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 (Starlink) has been installed, and is available for your use. There is a 32" Smart TV as well as Apple TV and a DVD player.

There are two single person kayaks located at Rainbow Bay Beach for easy access, four beach chairs, snorkeling gear, inflatables, noodles, boogie boards, beach towels and a large cooler (ice packs in the freezer) available for your use.

My fantastic housekeeper lives in Rainbow Bay 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!

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; it takes 4 minutes to walk to the inn 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!

Trip to middle island Eleuthera

We enjoyed our time at High Seas. The house is just as described and the help assistance from Jackie and her local contact Laura made our time there as easy as possible. Rainbow Bay beach is minutes away with an amazing beach and in our experience one of the best beaches on the island. Don’t miss dinner at the “Front Porch” the food and hospitality are excellent.

Best vacation ever!

Our stay at High Seas was nothing short of spectacular! The house itself had everything we needed and was in a beautiful and secluded area but super close to Rainbow Bay. The house was just as pictured…open and so bright and the view of the ocean was beautiful! Just as important was the communication we had with Jackie. She was responsive and so nice and provided us with great information about the house, the area and the island. 10/10..highly highly recommend !!!

Thank you, Jackie!

Staying at the High Seas was the cherry on top of a beautiful vacation at Eleuthera! Before I even booked our stay, Jackie was SUPER helpful answering all the questions I had... rental cars, weather, airports, etc. Booking a vacation out of the country can be stressful, and Jackie made the process super easy! We also booked our rental car through Laura's housekeeper, which was convenient. The house was spacious, clean, cozy, and most importantly, a 2-minute drive from Rainbow Beach (this was our favorite beach!). The house even has a deck, which was great for eating meals outside and watching the sunset. If you are thinking about booking the High Seas... do it! Thank you Jackie for a relaxed and much needed vacation!

Beautiful Bahamian feel

Spacious and well decorated! with all the basic necessities & more (the beach chairs and cooler came in real handy).The guide with its instructions and so much information on the island as well as the guest book helped us in making choices of what to do and see during our stay. We also appreciated the comfortable king bed and the huge balcony with ocean view! All at a very reasonable price which helps as the island is expensive!

Our Favorite Island

This was our second trip to Eleuthera and it’s the kind of place that has you looking at real estate and thinking “can I just move here?”We booked this property before we left on our last trip because we wanted to stop by and see the outdoor area and the road to get there. Some places on Eleuthera are difficult to get to and I was wary about that for our next trip. Super easy to get to and the house had everything we needed. We cook most nights and all kitchen utensils and appliances were exactly what we needed. The hammocks on the deck were one of my favorite things. We had a couple days of crazy rain and wind, and the house had games which was really nice. Jackie also checked on us during the crazy weather, which speaks a lot about her as a host. She always answered questions quickly and had a lot of helpful information. The place we stayed previously advertised beach chairs and beach gear that ended up being in unusable condition, so we were thrilled that High Seas had beach chairs in great condition with an umbrella and coolers. The kayaks were also awesome! We would definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable and the location was great. Thanks Jackie!

High Seas Paradise

We had an amazing stay at High Seas ! Right from the get go the communication with Jackie was comforting genuine. The location high over the Atlantic gave you great views of passing Cruise Ships with the sounds of crashing waves that added to your morning coffee on the deck. The constant breeze kept the noseeums away at night allowing you to enjoy the outdoor space after sunset. Beds were both kings and comfortable and bedrooms were very large. The kitchen had everything you needed with an added bonus of an electric grill for BBQing outside. High Seas came with two kayaks which were located right at Rainbow Bay Beach making it easy to use. The beach chairs were in perfect condition which was important for great beach time. One of the issues with Eleuthera is the constant power outages and internet disruptions. Highs Seas has solar power and Starlink which offered uninterrupted comfort which is so important for a great vacation. If you are active and enjoy long walks on quiet roads then High Seas in Rainbow Bay is ideal. Looking forward to our next stay !

Peacefil and great location to explore the island

Well equipped lovely cottage, high on a hill to catch the breeze. Great to have use of beach chairs, cooler and ice packs, and the kayaks at Rainbow Bay. Awesome communication from Jackie and Laura was super helpful with the rental car . Comprehensive list of restaurants, beaches, grocery stores etc was most appreciated. Really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Highseas.

Wonderful stay at High Seas!

High Seas was everything we hoped for and more! Everything was as described in the listing and we loved our stay, especially out on the deck, enjoying the varied vegetation, the birdsong and best of all, the view and sound of the ocean! Communication with the host and Laura the caretaker was excellent and responsive to all our needs. We will definitely be back!

High Seas is a marvelous hideaway!

The cottage is quiet, clean and secluded which we love! It is perfect for us. It is centrally located on the island which turned out to ba a huge plus. After touring the whole island we found we could not have picked a better location. We were picked up at the airport by Bill who we enjoyed immensely and Laura the host was very responsive, warm and welcoming. We are so planning to come back that we are keeping our island map!

We have been coming to the Islands for over 20 years and this might be the best trip ever.

The house was very clean on arrival. The surroundings are peaceful and secluded. Laura was very attentive to our needs. Working with Jackie, the owner was very easy. We love the laid back pace of Eleuthera. Cravings the new bakery in James Cistern was very good. Make sure you eat at the Tamarind tree on Friday or Saturday.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Jones

Host profile image
Ten 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 26 years, but dream of retiring in Eleuthera one day. Until then, I am happy to share my piece of paradise with you.

Why they chose this property

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 property unique

The quietness of the location, combined with the security of living in the peaceful community of Rainbow Bay.
