Everything and More!

We stayed at Cayo Loco at the beginning of December and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in paradise. The VRBO webpage doesn't do it any justice. Its truly everything we were looking for and more. The owners are the nicest people and so accommodating. They also stay out of your way if that's what you are looking for. The beach was uninhabited while we were there and we had it all to ourselves. The resort down the beach has the best food and was also never busy. The house was perfect and had everything you would want. Be prepared for a bit of wind on the Atlantic side if you are there in December.Make sure you have a car rented if you want to go into town to get supplies. We rented bikes for a couple of days which was nice but the roads arent great and are a bit dangerous on a bike. I hope we can come back soon. :)

Lovely, quiet, central location

Just returned from spending a week here and it was a delight. The property is extremely well maintained. The view is breath taking. The house has everything you need to be comfortable. It is really quiet and secluded. It is in a great location to explore the entire island and is easily accessible. Being close to Governor's Harbour it was helpful for meals and grocery. But it is also great for day trips north or south. We explored a lot of the island and were always happy to come home at the end to relax. The hosts are very helpful. Listen to the advice they give, like bringing bug spray, and ask all your questions. They always answer quickly. We had a lot of difficulty with our wire transfer payment and they were patient as the bank sorted it out. When we were they they gave us privacy unless we asked for something. They were thoughtful and stocked breakfast for us the night we arrived since we arrived late and the stores were all closed on account of the holiday. Very easy to talk to, easy to work with, and have obvious pride in their paradise. Would highly recommend staying here.

Spent our anniversary in paradise . . . .

My husband & I recently stayed at Cayo Loco celebrating our 30th anniversary. We looked at many resorts on other islands but wanted to spend the week relaxing in a place that was non-touristy. We had an amazing time exploring the Eleuthera and it's many beaches. We thought the location was perfect. Very private but a quick drive into Govenors Harbour and kind of centrally located on the island. People are very friendly and the "island pace" is definitely very different from our busy everyday lives & just what we needed for our get away. Our best times were spent right at Cayo Loco. Maureen arranged everything that we needed and goes out of her way to make sure your comfortable and having a great time. On our anniversary Maureen arranged massages at the house for us and dinner prepared by Jeremy & Anna. It was wonderful & I would highly recommend! The beach at Cayo Loco is what we thought one of the best beaches on the Atlantic side of the island and just a few steps away from the house. The house is a perfect beach house for two and very clean. We slept with the house open at night and felt very safe & slept very sound. The Atlantic breeze & sound of the waves were wonderful. You have everything you need to prepare meals. However, the resort 5 minutes down the beach from the house has amazing food and you don't need to cook if you don't want to. We are looking forward to our next trip to the Bahamas & will definitely stay at Cayo Loco & have already recommeded it to friends. Mark & Tammy Adams Topeka, KS

Perfect home, on a perfect beach, on a perfect island!

My wife and I stayed at Cayo Loco from 4/30/16 - 5/7/16, and i'm already looking to go back. LOCATION: The home is centrally located on the island,which is perfect if you plan to explore the island and enjoy the isolated beaches. It's a 5-10 minute right from GHB airport, easy to get to (turn into Sky Beach Resort and drive towards the ocean and make a left on "Banks Rd", cay loco is 1/4 mile away). It is conveniently located near Gov Harbour which has every grocery, gas, cash and alcohol necessity. Cayo Loco has 3 homes on the property, the beach front bungalows are called Sand Dollar (where we stayed) and Apocolypso, although next to each other, the manicured vegetation makes for nice privacy HOME: Sand Dollar is neatly appointed with every amenity you need from spices, utensils, pots/pans, oven, dishwasher, ice cube trays/ice packs, wifi, satellite TV (NY stations local). Maureen is a great host and is very informative, listen to her advice; everyone on the island knows her and helps you. The locals are all kind and treat everyone nicely. The beach in front of the home is perfect, a quick walk down a flight of stairs and your on the beautiful beach which has 3 separate reefs great for snorkling. My advice to anyone is rent a durable 4x4 with sufficient ground clearance, a Jeep Wrangler is perfect. Other than Queens Highway, the roads are rough and difficult to travel but worth it, the nicest beaches are the hardest to get to. Bring strong bug repellent, we had quite a few bites but it was manageable with deet based spray. My wife and I are 32 from NJ, we wanted to "get off the grid" but have some of the conveniences of home and Cayo Loco is the perfect medium, absolutely perfect home thats well maintained by a gracious host. RESTAURANTS: Rainbow Inn on pizza night (Monday) is a must (NJ has the best pizza and I was impressed with the food). Pascals is very convenient with great food, close to Cayo Loco and they have great food. Govenours Harbour fish fry on Friday is great, everyone comes out and drinks/parties. LeoRose beachfront restaurant in James Cistern is amazing, stop there if headed north. Hiring Jeremy and Anna is worth it, they come to the home and make an amazing dinner from locally sourced food.

Lovely Beach Escape

Wonderfully peaceful stay on a stunner of a beach. Great snorkeling right in front of you and super quiet - we basically saw nobody. Very close to Governor's Harbour if you need restaurants or to get some basics for the kitchen. Lunch on your deck is better view than any restaurant. Dreamy place.

Pink Sands Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This response is for PINK SANDS COTTAGE ONLY, We unfortunately had a bad experience with this property. If properties are on a water catchment system, they should be check B4 each rental. Especially, during drier times of the year. I feel that our situation could have been avoided. I understand the expense of keeping these properties up, but this was our 1st personal vacation in 7 yrs and it was our 33rd anniversary and we ran out of water 2 times. Fortunately, We were moved to another (better) location and property. If people are going to rent, the property needs to be in a condition to warrants renting. If the water had been checked, they would have known that it was not sufficient for the next weekly rental. Also, at the very least, there should some basic supplies for the new tenant, i.e. 1 roll of papertowels and toilet paper, 1 trashbag, hand soap and dish detergent to tie you over till you can get to the grocery store.

peaceful getaway

I was looking for a peaceful beach getaway and this property was absolutely perfect. The house is simple but extremely comfortable and met all my expectations. The view from the deck is spectacular and I spent hours on the lounger reading and enjoying the quiet. The beach was very clean and I practically had it all to myself most days. I never saw more than five or six people during my beach walks. If you are looking for blissful relaxation, I recommend this property without reservation and I am hoping to return soon.

Perfect Beach House!

The Cayo Loco Beach House was exactly what we were looking for. The house had everything we needed to make our vacation perfect. Maureen was a great host. She provided a wealth of information about the house and the island before the trip and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. The views from the house are incredible and the beach is beautiful. If you love long beach walks without seeing another person this is the spot for you. There is great sandy access from the beach for swimming and snorkeling as well. The location on the island is very convenient for exploring by car. Being in the central part of Eleuthera we were able to see the sights north or south and still be "home" in time for happy hour on the covered porch. There are plenty of restaurants within a short drive and the stores in Governor's Harbour had everything we needed. For a true "Out Island" experience Eleuthera and Cayo Loco are a combination hard to beat!

An absolute oasis!

Our trip to Eleuthera was nothing short of amazing. It was our first trip to the island and it took only one short day for us to fall in love. Maureen and Alan were spectacular hosts! They are a wealth of information and have everything thought out to the very last detail. Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of paradise with us. We hope to see you guys again soon 😉

Beautiful Beach & Water!

My husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary at Cayo Loco for 5 days/4 nights at the end of June 2018, and the weather could not have been more perfect! After a somewhat rugged drive to get to the cottage from the North Eleuthera airport in our rental SUV, our initial worries dissipated when we pulled into the driveway and saw the view of the sand, water and lush landscaping. Maureen greeted us to make sure we had everything we needed in the cottage (the cooler & beach chairs were especially nice surprises!), and provided valuable information about the to-dos on the island. We bought some basic groceries to have a few meals at the cottage, and made sure to catch the Friday night Fish Fry in Governor's Harbour as well as a few visits to Pascal's and the Sky Beach Club pool. We went on one day-excursion to Schooner Cays with was great, but spent the rest of our time relaxing on the beach right outside of the cottage. The beach and water are FANTASTIC, and amazing shallow tide pools form during low tide with crystal clear bath-temperature water. The cottage & its surroundings were all we had hoped for and made for a great first visit to Eleuthera. We would love to come back with another couple to share the experience!

The perfect Eleutheran retreat!

My husband and I loved our stay at Cayo Loco! The adorable pastel cottage was the perfect compliment to the sea foam green beach below, accessible by stairs next to the residence. Maureen is so sweet and provided everything we needed in the house, and even took some beautiful photos of us on the beach! There are two rental cottages next to each other, but we could NEVER hear the other guests, and due to the angle of the porches and the beautiful palm trees and agave plants between them, you can’t see each other! We hired a local couple, per Maureen’s suggestion, to come cook us a traditional Bahamian meal (conch fritters, spiny lobster, freshly caught wahoo) which I recommend doing! We tried different restaurants each night and loved all of Maureen’s suggestions. We rented a car which was very helpful so that we could get around the island easily and explore (we drove to the farthest south beach on the Caribbean side and it was paradise!), although you never get sick of the view at Cayo Loco! I highly recommend this place as a peaceful and gorgeous getaway!

It WAS a beautiful secluded beach house!!!

Beach was beautiful - a little mind-boggling - as we walked several miles many days without seeing anyone! When it was crowded there were 4-5 people somewhere down the beach. Maureen was available for any questions & had the place perfectly tended to. Had great dinner from Anna & Jeremy and car/day tour to Lighthouse beach from Chris Darling - several of many great recommendations from Maureen. The cottage was very clean with everything we needed for two weeks. We appreciated the cooler and beach chairs we could use for visiting other beaches-although loved returning to our own secluded paradise. Eleuthera is a unique & beautiful place worth visiting. We'll be back!!

Unbelievable location, friendly caretakers and everything you need close by.

Beach is on the front door step. House is nice, and has everything you need for a relaxing beach holiday. Governors Harbour five minutes drive. And is well located in the middle of Eleuthera for easy access to other parts of the island. Unreal place.

Lovely Cottage on the Most Beautiful Beach

This is a lovely property just steps away from the most beautiful beach. The cottage is cozy and comfortable with all sorts of little extras to make it relaxing and delightful. Maureen clearly puts a lot of work into the interior design, and as a result it feels open and airy and there are beautiful touches like colorful Kantha Quilts, prints on the walls, and pretty beach towels to use. On a practical level, there are plenty of kitchen items (pots, pans, coffee maker, teapot), potable water from a tap, TV with Netflix if you want, and plenty of bath towels. We were also impressed by how extremely clean the house is. The house has a covered front porch with a table and lounge chair (that fits two). It is a very nice place to read or relax if you need to get out of the sun for a bit. Just outside the house is a stairway down to the beach, which is amazing. Pink sand and aqua water, and you can walk a long ways in either direction. You may see a few other people come by occasionally but overall it is very private and calm. The property is about 5 minutes away from Pascal's, a fun beach restaurant at the Sky Club, and the town of Governor's Harbor is about twenty minutes away. There are a few shops and restaurants there if you feel like getting out, but you may want to just spend all your time at the house and on the beach! Maureen takes great care of the place and sincerely wants her guests to have the best possible experience. She provides all sorts of information about attractions and activities on Eleuthera, as well as all the practical information you need for your trip. Maureen, you were the most helpful, accommodating and friendly host we could have hoped to meet! Thank you for an absolutely delightful stay!!!

best beach in eleuthera

Everything was wonderful here. The cottage is adorable, the owners are attentive and caring, the beach is absolutely gorgeous, and the location couldn't be better. We stayed eight days and could have stayed forever. We loved driving into Governor's Harbor to go to the bakery, and also down past Palmetto Point to see the gorgeous Ten Bay Beach... but mostly we loved the long lazy days, on the cottage porch, sitting on the beach-chairs next to the water, or wading in the ocean. Thank you!
