Private Villa Suspended Above Pink-Sand Caribbean Beach, Htd Pool and Hot Tub
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.

The location is paradise, as promised. The house is brilliantly designed, with two bedrooms and baths at one end and two more bedrooms and baths at the other. In between is open-concept with a living room facing the ocean, a kitchen and large dining area, and an entertainment area. The deck surrounding the house provides lots of areas in sun and shade. The infinity pool and hot tub are special treats. A tip about food: If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant, bring some of your own food.The only disappointments concerned property maintenance issues. An electrical problem caused there to be no lighting in parts of the kitchen and all of the living room, so we couldn't congregate there in the evening. There was no heat in the hot tub. The safe was already locked and therefore not accessible. The doorhandle to one bathroom was not attached. The water station was not delivered, so it was a challenge for us to handle the very heavy 18 litre jugs. The property manager was there to meet us at check in, but was away during the week of our stay and so these problems were not resolved.Otherwise, this location is... WOW! The beach is perfect, and a large sand bar creates a gentle entrance to the Caribbean. The water is crystal clear, allowing us to see many species of fish including gentle stingrays and non-threatening small sharks. A boat excursion took us to a bay where we fed turtles and stingrays, and another where we fed swimming pigs. WOW!

Three generations from college students to grandparents stayed here for a week. The place was very beautiful and the privacy of the beach couldn’t be better. Eleuthera is an island where you have to drive a little bit further to get places and there are major power issues on the island which is not the fault of the house, but I wish we had been aware of that as there were several long stretches where we did not have power. But if you’re OK with the remoteness of that type of island, it can be a fun adventure.

The house was exactly as shown. There is a new house next door which is not reflected in the pictures. We were a little disappointed in the pool/hot tub. We paid extra to have them heated. The pool water was so low we had to put the hose in it. The jets were above the water line. The hot tub was basically empty. Once that was taken care of we used it the rest of the week. This home is a great size especially for a group. The beach is PERFECTION! Thank you to the people of Eleuthera for being so gracious and sharing your beautiful island with us.

We had a great week at Caribbean Sandcastle! Our party consisted of 4 adults & 3 kids (aged 9, 11, 13). We flew into Governor's Harbor which was just minutes from the house, picked up our rental vehicle, and the property manager kindly allowed us to drop off our luggage on the porch since we couldn't check in early.
The proximity of the house to the road was a non-issue for us. There is a small house next door, but we still felt like we had the beach to ourselves.
And what a wonderful beach! The kids rotated from the beach to the pool to the hot tub all day long; it was perfect. We found some snorkeling masks under the house that the kids used. We brought a beach canopy tent with us and used it every day for shade on the beach, which I highly recommend.
The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed several home cooked meals. One day we bought fresh fish from the fisherman who went out right in front of the house - talk about fresh seafood!
The beds were all comfortable, there were plenty of bath and beach towels. The wireless speakers were a great idea and we used them constantly. The washer/dryer were large and efficient. The sofas were not comfortable, but most of the time we were playing games at the dining table anyway.
Overall, the beach was fabulous, the pool/hot tub were wonderful, and we enjoyed our time at Caribbean Sandcastle!

The house is beautiful and it sits on my favorite beach. We had some complications but the property manager and the owner were very responsive.

Location was a little too remote. No where to take the little ones for a walk except for the fairly busy highway. Strollers don't do well on beach sand. One of the toilets developed a bad leak but was fixed eventually. After a few showers in the morning the smell of sewage was overwhelming in the driveway. Lucky we did not have any odor in the house. No fault of the owners but part of Eleuthera lost water pressure for a few days which was an inconvenience. Drinking water also became very salty for the bulk of our stay but we heeded the advice of the owners and drank bottled water. Excursion from Eleuthera Outdoor Center to Spanish Wells was excellent and the most unique any of us has experienced.

Wonderful location. Sonya was so helpful and made us feel so welcome. The house beautiful, clean and very well equipped. The paddleboards were a great advantage. I had difficulty in renting a paddleboard for the week, so it was awesome to find them provided with the house.

Quite and relaxing. Loved the view and the calm waters and snorkeling was great. Only downside is it’s about 55 minute drive from the North Eleuthera airport, we couldn’t find flights into the Marsh Harbor airport. House was very clean and cozy. The hot tub had some issues heating while we were there but it was just installed and still a work in progress. My family loved staying there and we plan to come back!

We stayed at Cool Cloud for a week and had a large crew of 8 adults and 5 kids. Overall, enjoyed the experience and the low key island vibe.
Pros - nice open layout of the house with plenty of room to spread out between the two sitting areas and wrap around porch space. The views and water are amazing and the kids loved playing with all the water toys and kayaks. It was great having a washer/dryer so we didn't have to pack as much clothing.
Cons - there are a decent number of house repairs needed. A couple of door handles fell off while we were there, could not get any hot water for the showers, the front outside area of the house had a terrible sewage smell all week and the beds weren't very comfortable. None of these issues were major deterrents for us, but something for the property managers to note for future guests.
All in all, we had a good time and will plan on going back to Eleuthera again in the future.

The house is located right on a quiet Carribean beach. The calm water was perfect for our 3 young children! Lots of sand toys and water toys too. The house was roomy with a large open kitchen/living area. The bedrooms all had very comfortable beds and stayed cool for us. Quick ride to other beaches and into Governors Harbour for groceries, restaurants or pier for fresh fish. The island has beautiful beaches and water is gorgeous! Sonya, the property manager was great. She was always quick to help out or answer any questions. The owners would not be able to find anyone that is as sweet and hard working as Sonya!

Cool Cloud house is a fantastic home on a magnificent secluded beach. The home was perfect for 8 adults with 4 bedrooms and 4 Bathrooms, large common areas and well equipped kitchen. Air conditioning in each bedroom and the common areas worked perfectly. Washer/Dryer, plenty of towels and comfortable beds. You could not ask for a better location for beach access. This home is right on the beach and you can not see any neighbors. When the weather was windy on the beach at the house you can get to the Atlantic side of the island in less than 10 minutes. Fantastic beach there with crystal clear water and the softest sand imaginable. The only negative I could site would be the proximity to the main road. The back of the house is just steps from the main road on the island and traffic can be heard from the bedrooms at the back of the house. It is also difficult to back out of the driveway onto the highway with traffic going at a high rate of speed. That being said, the traffic on the main highway is not heavy. You have to remember that this is a remote island and things don't always work perfectly. We did not have internet access for the week we were there. We did use our iphones as hot spots and were reimbursed by the property owners. Overall I would give this property 4 out of 5 stars with the only negative being the proximity to the main road. Eleuthera is a must see destination.

We loved every minute of our vacation on Eleuthera. This was our first trip to Eleuthera, but certainly not our last.
First about the house: The house is beautiful and it was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The house was even more beautiful in person. We fixed a few meals at the house and had all the pots and pans and utensils we needed. Matt and Tara were quick to answer all our questions and they were great to work with. There are not adequate words to describes how beautiful the beach and view is at this house. It is amazing. The first two or three days the water was so calm and clear that it looked like a bathtub...albeit a big bathtub with shells, colorful fish, lots of starfish, and even a stingray. I have some pictures I took of the shells in the water and you can't tell that it's a picture of water. We also got to experience some storms at the end of the week. The waves really crashed up against the pilings and water was up on the concrete under the house.
The house is centrally located on the island and made getting around very easy. I highly recommend buying The Beach Book on Amazon. Besides "our beach", some of our favorite places we went to were Lighthouse Beach, Surfer's Beach, Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island, and Glass Window Bridge. Highly recommend renting a jeep for the high clearance. We chartered a boat/captain and went snorkeling, conch diving, and to the marker bars. LOVED that day! We found lots of good shells at our beach snorkeling, at Comber's Beach (only good thing about that beach), and at the marker bars. Found a huge, beautiful conch shell over 12" long. We found tons of sea glass at Surfer's Beach.
The people are so friendly on Eleuthera. We never met a stranger the entire week. My favorite part of the entire week was church on Sunday at Governor's Harbour Wesley Methodist Church. The church is beautiful, the music was amazing, and the people made us feel like family.
Eleuthera is not the place for you if you like an action packed vacation with lots of activities and people, roller coasters and theme parks, or vacations in a concrete jungle. However, if you want to get away from the stresses of every day life, stare at the most amazing scenery, and fully embrace "island time", then give Eleuthera a try. I started planning our next trip to Eleuthera on the flight home!
