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!

Our stay was wonderful. The location was remote yet easy to access. The star gazing was amazing and the ocean view was beautiful. The house was clean and is equiped with everything you could need. This was an excellent experience. Thank you!
This was my lifelong dream vacation spot. Jackie has a beautiful home in a great location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean side of the island. Her home is everything as described online. The bed was so comfortable. Very well kept and clean. Nice large kitchen with updated appliances. Jackie responded quickly for any questions.This offers the comforts of home and privacy. Sunrises and sunsets are the best from the balcony and dining room table. Enjoy yourself future guests. If I could give 20 stars I would.
My wife and I loved our stay at High Seas. The property is exactly as described, but I want to emphasize how peaceful it is—perfectly safe and serene, with only the sound of waves (and frogs!) in the background. Even during the strong winds from Hurricane Erin passing not too far from the Bahamas, the house remained completely quiet with all windows closed. Communication with Jackie was smooth and effortless; he accommodated all our requests and provided plenty of helpful tips for exploring Eleuthera. Starlink worked perfectly, too. We definitely recommend this property.

Hi Jason, so glad you two had a great time!
I now have the AC working in the living area so summer months will be nice and cool. Hopefully the hurricanes keep avoiding Eleuthera! Take Care, Jackie
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.
The house was wonderful! It was clean and and very easy to move right into for me and my 87 yr old Mom. It is centrally located with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and adventuring. We will be back!

Hi Lindsey, I am so glad you and your Mom had a great time at High Seas. You both know the island so well and I am glad you chose my house for your vacation. Come back again!
Our stay here was great. The host gives you so much inside information about the island, the beaches, local restaurants and businesses, etc. It felt like having a personal guide to Eleuthera. The home is comfortable and has lots of amenities like beach chairs, snorkels and masks, and an umbrella you can use which makes the beach experiences even better.

Hello Paul, I really like sharing information about Eleuthera and want guests to feel the same way I do about the island as it truly is a gem of a place in the world. I like to think of everything guests would like to have amenities wise to make a vacation perfect. Thank you for looking after my place in paradise. All my best!
This house was in the perfect location for exploring both the north and south sides of the island. The road to it was clear and in good shape, which is not always the case. Everything was clean and comfy, and the house had everything we needed for a successful trip!
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 !!!
We just returned from too short a trip and had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home.

Beautiful home with a beautiful ocean view
Thank you Jackie for letting us enjoy your home. We found all the necessities available at the house for a relaxing island vacation. We especially enjoyed the wrap around porch and hammock!

Hi Devin, thank you for looking after my special place on earth. Happy to share it with everyone that wants to experience a true, relaxing enviroment!
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!

Hi Alex, very happy you and your family enjoyed your Christmas at High Seas. Happy New Year to you all!
We had a wonderful week at High Seas. The location in Rainbow Bay was super, it is so near the lovely beach there. The cottage was secluded, comfortable and well-equipped with lots of towels, games, Netflix, and a nice large fridge.

So happy you and Carol returned to High Seas and had a fantastic time on the island. Hopefully you are able to come back next year. Cheers, Jackie
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!

About the host
Hosted by Jackie Jones
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.
