Great house, well stocked kitchen, and nice views of bay
We really enjoyed our stay at Bella Mer. It was very clean and the kitchen has everything we needed since we like to cook a lot. We chose this house for the location, as well as the generator due to frequent power outages and the outdoor grill. Needless to say we were very disappointed when we arrived to see there was not an outdoor grill. Also, we had 4 power outages over 3 days forcing us to cook by the light we brought from home because the generator wasn’t working. Power outages happen but not having the generator as promised was beyond disappointing since it was one of the reasons we chose Bella Mer. The snorkeling was excellent in the creek and from the dock. Even saw a sea turtle!

Wonderful vacation Spot
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time. The house was clean and very well kept. Plenty of space for 3 couples and a baby. The screened in porch is a beautiful additional living space. There are some life jackets , snorkel gear and a paddle board for use while there. Also plenty of beach towels. Beautiful and private. Enjoyed snorkeling directly off the properties ladder in the cove just south. Light house beach was our favorite spot we visited on the island , worth the 2 mile walk on the beach. Such a beautiful quiet island. The host was Very nice and responded quickly.

Wonderful stay in Eleuthera!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Bella Mer! It was private and quaint — had almost everything we could have needed. Loved the back yard/ocean access. We enjoyed snorkeling around the point to the left and down toward Kemp’s Creek — we saw Teddy the turtle and stingrays, many fish, starfish, etc. It was fairly close to Governor’s Harbor (20 min) & maybe 30 min from the airport. We explored far north and far south, and this location made that convenient! The bed was SO COMFY too — one of the better ones we have ever slept on in a VRBO/Airbnb. If I were to give any tips at all, I would say that it would be handy to have scissors in the kitchen and bars of soap available for showering and also some drinking water, since the tap water is not recommended to drink. Finding the bottle and where to get water was a bit confusing but we figured it out with Tennielle’s help ($5.50 for a 5 gallon refill at a local store). Nice to be able to text her with questions! Handy! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay — we loved it!!!

Our first impression was not a positive one
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I were disappointed in Bella Mer. We had read the positive reviews and decided to book on that and the view. We had reached out a week prior to our arrival to make sure they had a grill & propane, but the afternoon we arrived we purchased chicken & steak and were not able to use the grill because the igniter was broken. The WiFi was not working either. We did reach out to the property manager & she had the WiFi rebooted. The rental advertises paddle boards but they both have holes and one was unusable. The other we had to pump it up regularly. The beach chairs were broken. The pots & pans were very old and there was only one oven save dish. They didn’t leave any bottled water to start our week or dish detergent, hand soap, only two trash bags, no foil, only 1 paper towel roll. We had to purchase a lot of basic necessaries for bathroom & kitchen.The grill should be replaced. There was a slippery film on the tile so when entering the house we slipped walking around. They did come back and mopped the floor. They didn’t have any matches or lighter to light the candles on the porch to rid of the moquitos. We had to request more bath towels. Its not luxury but what made us book this house was the back yard view and access to the Caribbean. We will stay at a different property next time. We never felt comfortable and we shouldn’t have had to request what is advertised for what we were paying for. This is not an inexpensive house but the price should be lower for what is offered. We also had to kill a roach in one of the bedrooms the first day. This made us very uncomfortable thinking they made be more throughout the house.
