Cayo Loco Private Pink Sand Beachfront Beach House for 2!

LOOK NO FURTHER, you just stumbled upon the absolute best beach house for two in all of The Bahamas - our guests are flabbergasted at first sight when they see Cayo Loco and you will be too! This is no ordinary location! Stunning beachfront directly on the Atlantic Ocean centrally located on the tranquil, pristine, undiscovered island of Eleuthera where you are 'away from it all'! Go back to a simpler time when nature dictated your day and enveloped your senses with serenity and solitude. Your new calling is to find shells, walk the beach, swim, nap, lounge in a hammock and star gaze at the endless night sky! No cares, no worries just the sounds of the surf all around you! The ONLY one bedroom house for two right on the best most fabulous pink sand beach anywhere in the world! The guests that checked out today said that 'they are ruined' for any other beaches after living with the most beautiful water with the most dazzling array of colors right in front of their house! Our guests return year after year! The array of colors is mind boggling! You can see the reefs and sand on the bottom of the ocean no matter how far out you swim. The visibility is unparalleled anywhere! A 60 second swim in mask and snorkel puts you on the most spectacular breathtaking reef with millions of colorful fish! We took 20 years to choose this location after searching for our paradise and when we found it we knew it immediately and we bought it! And we live to share it with you! This is vacation all the time! We have never been anywhere that can come even close to Cayo Loco! Come live your dream of being on the water! Our grounds are a lush and tropical paradise made to entice the senses! This location will affect you like the best meditation you've ever had! The reef is teaming with beautiful colorful fish! It's like stepping into a different world! This is your vacation, we strive to make it fabulous and your accommodations are very very important to us! Living here affords us the opportunity to take extra special care of our homes and our guests! We are here, we care! The choice of your beach house is paramount to the enjoyment of your getaway - come stay with us at Cayo Loco!

* Our guests say our beach is better than French Leave Beach as it is undiscovered, lesser known and more private! After traveling to Lighthouse Beach and other beaches they prefer staying right at home at their own beach! We're truly tucked away in our private paradise!
* Within a five minute walk on the beach, you have the best most delicious little restaurant with a small resort for dining/drinking/dancing with a pool and jacuzzi. Fabulous local entertainment! Within a short drive, there are several excellent restaurants, live music, shopping and dancing.
* Be sure to reserve Jeremy and Anna, our unparalelled knowledgeable friends/Assistant Caretakers, for your own private dinner at Cayo Loco! They'll bring everything, prepare everything, clean up and thrill you with island sip sip (gossip), folk lore and fishing stories while serving the greatest authentic Bahamian meal you will ever experience! Guaranteed to be the highlight of your stay! And they will leave you with lots to snack on! It's like dinner and a show all wrapped into one! You will have the time of your life at Cayo Loco! A vacation you will savor for the rest of your life!
CAYO LOCO, though newly built, captures the 'old' Bahamian beach house feel looking over the surf to maximize the views and ocean breezes. Step onto your gorgeous, private, crescent shaped Atlantic Ocean pink sand beach and stroll in either direction for miles. You may spend your entire visit here and never see another person on your beach. Our beach has indescribably clear turquoise water with a flat pink sand beach. It is a perfect walking swimming beach!!

No Smoking/No Children/No Pets/No Loud Music/No Open Flames as we basically have no Fire Dept.

Note: A rental car with ground clearance and good tires is required to access this beach house.

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!

Best Place Ever!!!
Cayo Loco was the perfect place for us to begin our honeymoon! Pictures don't begin to do justice to how beautiful this place truly is. Maureen, the owner, has taken time and great care with every detail and is a wealth of helpful information. She knows, understands, and loves this island and can tell you anything about it! She made our short stay just perfect, giving us all the privacy we wanted, yet available anytime we needed her. When we plan another trip to the BEAUTIFUL island of Eleuthera we'll always want to stay at Cayo Loco.

Perfect Honeymoon Get Away
My wife and I had an amazing honeymoon at this beachside cottage. The owner lives on the property; she is very organized and the cottages are really well kept. We stayed in February, the weather was perfect and we never had to turn on the air conditioning. The cottage is located on miles of pink sand beach that you have all to yourself. If you see 4 people all day, it's considered a busy day. The house is located in a very secure area on the island. Eleuthera, Bahamas is a beautiful island with delicious food, great people, and tons of activities.

Perfect! What a wonderful place!
A perfect place right on the beach. Very private - the perfect place to get away and unwind. The owner's were very friendly and helpful, full of any information about the island you could possibly need. The accommodations were very clean with everything you might need during your stay. A great breeze all the time - did not need A/C at all. Highly recommend!!!
