Breathtaking panoramic ocean view from stunning open, airy villa with huge pool

If you like oceans, probably the most mindblowing view in the Bahamas.
Every day, and night, the sound of the ocean and the breeze that comes with it, is designed to make your time at Rainbow House unforgettable.
The pool is huge..it's completely private, and if you have children, they simply won't leave it. Added to which it has been completely refurbished recently, and is by far the best pool on the island.   A few minutes walk and you're at the Moonshine Bar, where you can drink Pina Coladas or Bahamamamas to your heart's content and have a snack of local fish tacos. This is your dream vacation house..the privacy of a Hemingway-esque home (see photos).
Not a coincidence that visiting Bahamian ministers always choose Rainbow.
See Video of Rainbow.

All taxes and fees are included in the price, the only payable extras are electrics (metered) which is paid to the Stella Maris resort at the conclusion of your stay, and an 'end cleaning' bill of $200 which saves you having to do it!
Also there are often flight credits from Nassau to Long Island and enquiries on these should be made to Jill Smith at the Stella Maris resort.

Loads of marine style activities available..deep sea and reef fishing, legendary bone-fishing, scuba and snorkel and NEW to the list..visit the island farm and cuddle a little pig, goat watch, see the pigs swimming around in the ocean--hilarious.
Or go for a bike ride, walk the spectacular shoreline and wash your mind of day to day concerns.

Situated a few miles south from where Columbus stepped ashore onto the Long Island powdery sand beach remarking this 'was the most beautiful island in the world' sits Rainbow House, one of the most spectacular houses in the Caribbean.
Crossed by the tropic of Cancer, Long Island has the gulf stream warming the ocean in winter and trade winds cooling its shores in summer to create the perfect climate. Long island is an undiscovered gem, unblemished by skyscraper hotels and mass tourism, yet has all the amenities and adventure for a fantastic family or couples vacation.

Rainbow House, just a few minutes from the Stella Maris airstrip, accessible from Nassau by schedule Southern Air or Stella Maris charter, boasts the most dramatic seascape view in the world. You wake up to that view from every room in the house. And fall asleep every night to the soothing lull of crashing waves. It is a private ocean front villa located in a tranquil setting surrounded by gracefully sweeping palm trees and the colorful brilliance of tropical flowers.

Rainbow house has super spacious living accommodation...Elegant large bedrooms and living areas with awe inspiring views overlooking the 1200 sq ft infinity pool, a gazebo-perfect for evening cocktails while you watch the dramatic breaking surf off the Atlantic..all set within lush landscaping making it totally private and secluded.
The huge airy master bedroom at the pool level has recently had its bathroom upgraded. You'll only want to leave it to jump into the pool, just yards away.

Fully equipped with luxury amenities inside the house, outside lounge chairs and table, the house has been routinely upgraded and renovated, has split unit air conditioning, sliding french doors and luxury fittings everywhere you look.   Our prices include all fees.

About Alasdair Ritchie

Long Island Vacation Home by Alasdair Ritchie Janice and Alasdair Ritchie live in Connecticut, in leafy New Canaan.They have a home in the UK too, in a sleepy Oxfordshire village where they spend some time visiting grandchildren.They originally bought Rainbow House from Katharine Jahr in 2011. She and her husband had built the house 30 years previously. Alex Jahr was one of the famous Gruner and Jahr publishing dynasty with a fanatic interest in deep sea fishing, so many of his trophies adorn the walls of Rainbow House and the nearby Stella Maris boutique hotel.The house was built to exacting German quality standards. Why they chose this propertyRainbow House represents all that is beautiful in a Caribbean villa. It is set in a marine environment which changes continuously. The sunsets and sunrises have to be seen to be believed and the gazebo overlooking the ocean is a place to just contemplate the world. Sitting underneath the canopy of this simple edifice is the fastest stress reliever known to man. The whole experience as you look out to the horizon, seeing the odd cruise ship or fishing boat heading for Cuba or Florida, with the waves washing the coral right beneath your feet, and the large Infinity pool behind you..guarantees you will leave Rainbow a calmer, totally relaxed person. What makes this property uniqueThe gazebo mentioned above.The large pool, the beautiful stylish bedrooms-all quite different from each other and the huge living room redolent of the famous Ernest Hemingway.Nowhere like it in the world. https://www.findvacationhomerentals.com/search/long-islandhttps://www.findvacationhomerentals.com/search/stella-marishttps://www.findvacationhomerentals.com/search/bahamashttps://www.findvacationhomerentals.com/property/12146
