MONTICELLO ESTATE
VRBO ELEUTHERA, THE BAHAMAS

Eleuthera is one of the out islands of The Bahamas. Even though it’s the next island over east of Nassau, Eleuthera is worlds apart from the bustling, loud, touristy, cruise ship pit stop neighbor to the west. Quiet and laid back, you’ll find no amusement parks, mini golf and little to no nightlife on Eleuthera. Eleuthera is all about being in and around beautiful, crystal blue water teeming with colorful sea life and warming your feet in pink sand. Our children were amazed watching starfish in their habitat. Starfish, sea turtles and other creatures can be discovered all over the island.

The word “Eleuthera” is Greek and means freedom, which is certainly what you feel when you visit the island. Forget hotels. VRBO Eleuthera is the way to go.

You will want to rent a car for your stay and drive all over the island exploring different beaches. We like to call it “beach hopping.” For a small island with no night life, Eleuthera offers quite a variety of things to see. Gorgeous coral and rock formations can be found on the windward side of the island to explore. A few minutes away by car is the calm leeward side with wonderful spots to snorkel right off the shore. You will find everything from soft pink sand bottoms, to grass flats, to pretty rock formations.

The people of Eleuthera are wonderful too. They’re friendly and eager to help find the perfect fishing or snorkeling spot. One of the most important things we like about Eleuthera is that there is very little crime. The island has a real small town feel. It’s always surprising that for such a lovely place, there are very few tourists. Visit one of the island’s most popular beaches, and if you see more than 10 people on a 1/2 mile stretch of pink sand, it’s a busy day.

VRBO Eleuthera is surprisingly affordable. We’ve found it to be less expensive or comparable to many vacation destinations in the U.S. And if you can redeem some of those airline miles like we did, all the better. If you are looking for the best VRBO Eleuthera, then one of the three Monticello Estate properties is the place to go.
