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! The choice of your beach house is paramount to the enjoyment of your getaway - come stay with us at Cayo Loco!
Cayo Loco has a new battery back up for power outages! Solar power is coming soon. We also have a back-up water system.
* Our guests say our beach is superb 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!
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!! We also installed a brand new 32" TV.
No Smoking/No Children/No Pets/No Loud Music/No Open Flames as we basically have no Fire Dept.

Jay S. from Carlsbad, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.
My wife and I stayed for a week at Cayo Loco, a great beach bungalow a few miles north of Governor’s Harbor. The setting is pretty amazing as you have a sweeping view of the Atlantic with a few steps down to a gorgeous mostly deserted beach. We found that staying on this side of the island has many advantages including a nice breeze which keeps the bugs away and humidity much lower. You are less than a ten minute walk to Pascal’s which has good dinners and an amazing bartender named Sammy. The actual unit was delightful. The bed was comfortable (we are pretty particular about that), the shower was great and everything in the place was well planned. Sitting on the deck in the afternoons or the evenings was magical. The sunrises are incredible. The owners have this process down as they help you as much or as little as you wish. They even send you videos on how to get to the unit before you arrive. We may regret this when we go to rent the place again next year, but we give Cayo Loco the highest rating we can. If you get the chance to stay here, do it!

Stephen P. from Toronto, ON Canada recommends this vacation rental.
The perfect place to get away from it all. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves, wake up and it’s 20 steps to a beautiful beach with no one on it. If you are looking for luxury this isn’t the place for you. If you are looking for the most amazing location, a comfortable one bedroom house with all of the amenities, a deck out the front door that is perched right above the beach, and fabulous hosts, don’t look any further - Cayo Loco is your place.

Pamela W. from GARRETT PARK, MD US recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed at Cayo Loco in the right beach house for a week in April 2024. This place was just what we wanted - it was clean and well maintained and the king size bed was very comfortable, the cottage was directly on a beautiful beach with amazing views of the water, you could walk on the beach and rarely see another person, and it was very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. I loved sitting out on the deck and reading. It was quite windy for several days so we explored the island and found calm water on the Caribbean side. They had nice beach chairs and a cooler we used on our adventures around the island. We went snorkeling at Twin Coves beach and saw sea turtles. Ten Bay beach was beautiful with some shade from trees. We walked to Pascals for several good meals and took out yummy sandwiches from Bacchus Fine Foods for eating lunch at the beaches. The hosts were wonderful and Jeremy, Anna, and Alton were very helpful and set us up with a rental car. We were very happy with the entire experience, and we would definitely stay at Cayo Loco again if we come back!

Lovely place for a relaxing quiet stay. Bit more remote than I’d expected but really enjoyed it. Found Pascals restaurant excellent food and live music, only short walk from the property.
