About this house rental

Caribbean SandCastle

Welcome to The Caribbean SandCastle, a luxurious and avant-garde villa suspended on columns above a spectacular beach. An impressive feat of engineering and architecture, The Caribbean SandCastle brings you closer to the sand and water than any home on the Caribbean. This beautiful pink-sand beach is lapped by shallow water that is usually as calm as a lake. Caribbean SandCastle faces west so you can enjoy the most wonderful sunsets over the sea every evening from your decks and windows.

Caribbean SandCastle, formerly Cool Cloud House, is now under new ownership. The owner added a NEW BEACHFRONT POOL AND HOT TUB!

The Caribbean SandCastle is located on Alabaster Beach, one of the most stunning and pristine beaches in the Caribbean, featured on the cover of Conde Nast Traveler's December 2012 issue.

Remodeled in 2021 and decorated with custom contemporary furnishings, The Caribbean SandCastle has a spacious interior plus extensive wrap-around decks and outside space. The Caribbean SandCastle’s great room, suspended over the beach, is divided into three spaces. The Entertainment area has a flat-screen TV, DVD, and hi-fi sound system. The kitchen, dining area, and breakfast nook offer contemporary cooking and dining with extensive beach and ocean views. The ultra-modern kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including French-door refrigerator, glass top range, wall oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The third space, the Chill Out area, hovers over the sea, giving a view and proximity to the water found in few houses anywhere in the world. Both the Chill Out Room and the Entertainment area have sofa beds (a total of 2 sofa beds in all).

The Caribbean SandCastle has four bedrooms, each with a luxurious bath (either en suite or across the hall) and an ocean-view deck. Two of the baths have showers; the other two have shower/tub combinations. Watch the sunset from your bedroom window, or step onto your deck for a morning coffee, feed the birds or fish, and listen to the Caribbean lapping on the sand. One bedroom has a king bed, two have queen beds, and one has twin beds that can be converted to a king. Each room has its own AC air handler and can set its own temperature.

Outside on the beach, beneath the elevated platform of the house, The Caribbean SandCastle has a large shaded dining area where you can grill your catch of the day and dine on the water’s edge. An outdoor shower is also located nearby at the back of the house for easy access to rinse off.

Amenities at The Caribbean SandCastle include full AC, WIFI, Apple TV, advanced water purification system, and laundry room with a washer and dryer. Two paddleboards and two kayaks are provided, including a large three-person kayak well equipped for fishing or taking a longer journey.

The town of Governors Harbour, a ten-minute drive from the property, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, where everyone knows everyone, is known for being very safe. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes.

Rates are for up to 8 guests, additional guests are $65 per night.

PARADISE AWAITS YOU AT CARIBBEAN SANDCASTLE!!!
PARADISE AWAITS YOU AT CARIBBEAN SANDCASTLE!!!
We love Caribbean Sandcastle! It's not our first time staying in this beautiful pristine home. We love the privacy this home offers, and the secluded beach is heaven on earth! The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you'll need to prepare everything from the basics to gourmet meals. The water pressure in the showers is comparable to the same pressure as back home. The bedding is so soft and comfy, and with the layout of the house , noise isn't a problem for those wanting to nap or have quiet time! I'm ready to book again!
I'd like to add one thing... Upon our departure, we accidentally left a few valuable personal items behind. Before we got to the airport in North Eleuthera and realized this, I recieved a call from the property manager telling me that the housekeeping staff found the items and had them safely in their possession. They worked with us in getting them back safe and sound. We were very grateful. I love Eleuthera!

Beach was spectacular with virtually no one there but us for the majority of time. The area under the house is not useful as the ceiling height is very low and it is used mostly as an area to store junk. They are building another house about 20 yards from this house so future privacy may be an issue. Kitchen is well stocked, AC and internet worked well. There is road noise in the front 2 bedrooms as the house is within feet of the main road. While I give it an overall 4, we would not stay here again due to the road noise and the house coming next door. We have stayed at many houses in Eleuthera over the years and this one is overpriced for what it offers.

We missed the first two days of our vacation because of American Airlines cancelling our flight out of Charlotte.
Upon arrival we were overwhelmed with the Caribbean Sandcastle, the house and location is fantastic. First rental for us ever that the house was more stunning than the pictures posted.

We Already Miss You, Caribbean Sand Castle
We Already Miss You, Caribbean Sand Castle
We stayed at the Caribbean Sand Castle for some much needed rest and relaxation. It completely exceeded our expectations. The house is absolutely beautiful and is exactly as pictured. It is very spacious and there are numerous locations both inside and out to relax, enjoy a good book, or simply sit and enjoy the view. We also thoroughly enjoyed the available kayak and paddle boards as the water is unbelievably beautiful, calm, and refreshing. We will absolutely be back and I would highly recommend the house to anyone needing some peace and tranquility or anyone who likes to stay busy on the water. The pool was a wonderful treat as well! There is something to do for everyone. I also enjoyed chatting with the locals at the nearby shops as they were so warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to get back!

Caribbean SandCastle Stay
Caribbean SandCastle Stay
We had a great stay at Brandons house. The house was immaculate with lots of thoughtful details like yeti travel mugs, brand new umbrellas and beach chairs, usb charging station, etc. By far the best part though is the beach! Beautiful calm water perfect for our group of 5 kids to play in. The only part of the house that wasn't exactly what we had hoped for was the location right on the main road. This made it loud at night if you left the windows open on that side of the house but as soon as we switched to sleeping with the AC it wasn't a problem. The pool wasn't finished yet but we are already planning a return trip to check it out! Brandon and his entire crew were super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

Private Paradise Retreat
Private Paradise Retreat
Our families had an incredible stay at the Caribbean Sandcastle. We loved the remote location of this private beach, overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. The kids loved the new swimming pool, only steps from the living room. Highlights of our trip included postcard sunsets, fishing for grouper right off of the beach, and beating an x-NFL linebacker in a foot race on the beach. Can't wait to return to this incredible place!
