PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE OVERALL PROPERTY AND THE INDIVIDUAL UNIT YOU ARE RENTING. WHO WE ARE AS HOSTS; You can book with confidence as we have been Premiere Hosts with VRBO/Homeaway since 2016 and have thousands of great reviews for all of our 20+ listings. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENTIRE PROPERTY; Your are staying in boutique 8 unit compound called BLUE PLUMBAGO. It was born from the vision of one of the island’s most respected architects. He designed and built the compound in 2013 and still continues making improvements on a regular basis…as he says, “the passion for perfection will never end.” He wanted to create a very unique vacation rental experience like no other on the island that takes in the amazing and dramatic dual ocean views, but a space that also envelops the guest in soothing garden oasis all while offering top of the line accommodations. Around every nook and cranny there is something special to find with little sitting areas, gorgeous bromeliads and flowers, palm trees and birds. There are a total of 8 air conditioned units in the 3 story main structure, plus one free standing cottage set back all to itself. Also as an added bonus if you have a large group and all want to be together, yet have your own space and privacy this is the perfect place for that also! Each unit comes with their own space and all have smart TVs with cable TV and free high speed fiber internet. There is even a back-up generator if the power goes out which in Eleuthera is pretty often! There is both city water and a 33,000 gallon rain tank so you will never be without water. There are no shared bathrooms or kitchens and being an architect everything was designed with privacy in mind and with a noise reducing design. The only shared spaces are the jungle oasis property grounds on the main floor outside. There is free on site parking. "BLUE PLUMBAGO" - YOUR UNIT; Blue Plumbago is a ground floor unit set in the back off the street so it is super quiet and has beautiful garden views as seen in the photos section. It has the coolest little pathways and areas for sitting with coffee or a good book among the gardens. The unit is bright and airy with fun Caribbean colors and lots of windows to let the nature outside to be part of the experience. It sleeps 2 people in a very high end queen mattress. Like everything about Villa Amanda all furnishings are top of the line, high thread count sheets, quality pillows, etc. There is a very nice mini split high efficiency AC unit for fast cooling. There is small, but full kitchen complete with Fridge, stove, oven, sink, microwave, etc. It is fully stocked with things like blenders, toasters, coffee makers and every kitchen utensil, pots and pans all sorts of stuff for cooking complete meals. The kitchen has an L shaped island for dining. There is a beautifully done custom bathroom with a walk in shower. There are USB phone chargers and a hairdryer provided also. Of course you have the basics such as; seasonings, soap and shampoo, linens, towels, beach and bath towels, kitchen towels, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, kitchen sponge and dish soap, etc. There is a small library of books for your reading pleasure. Beach chairs and beach umbrella is also provided. You can see the photos section for a better visualization of the interior and exterior of your unit. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION; We are located in Cigatoo Estates in central Eleuthera which is less than a 5 minute drive from Governor’s Harbor. The location is fantastic for exploring all the way to the southern and northern island tips as you are right in the middle. Some of the island’s best restaurants, bars, beaches and attractions are less than a 5 – 15 minute drive. Just to name a few you have Twin Coves Beach, French Leave Beach, Allabaster and Receivers Beach and Sky Beach Club all very close. \*\*\*Note Twin Coves Beach and French Leave Beach are two of the very top rated beaches on the entire island and that is saying a lot. You can walk to Twin Coves Beach which is 15 minutes or drive at 3 minutes. French Leave Beach is about a 5 minute drive. As for restaurants you have 1648 Restaurant, Tippy’s, Pascal’s, and Buccaneer Club, all 5 minutes away, to name a few. Those restaurants are some of the most sought after eateries on the whole island. You have the world famous Friday Night Fish Fry street festival just 5 minutes away and also Ronnie’s the only real nightclub on the island. We are very close to many attractions also like the Haynes Library, Leon Levy Preserve, Edwin’s Sea Turtle Lake, etc. Important things such as health clinics, the main police station, churches, food stores, liquor stores, shops, banking and ATM, gas stations, etc. are all 5 minutes away. The island is 110 miles long with one road going tip to tip with some very bad pot holes, so it is very important to pick a good home base location otherwise be prepared to do a lot of driving with super expensive gas prices! EXTRA PERKS STAYING WITH US; We offer all guests the option of choosing from a large fleet of SUV rentals that John the owners rents to guests right on site. We also can set you up with the best tours for the swimming pigs, fishing, diving and other tours. There are hammocks and grills on the property grounds. The snorkeling and spearfishing is some of the very best on the island right near our property both on the Atlantic and Caribbean sides. There are USB charging stations in every unit. John the owner lives on site and knows everyone and everything about Eleuthera, so you really have a personal concierge on site during your stay. Don’t worry about privacy as he leaves all guests alone unless they require his assistance. There is a laundromat just 5 minutes away. We offer an awesome 20+ page trip planner document that tells tons of very helpful information about renting vehicles, planning tours, swimming with the pigs, how to get to the island, etc. and that is only for our guests. ELEUTHERA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE; If Miami Beach is your thing we respectfully suggest you pick a different destination. Eleuthera is a sleepy island with some flaws; bad roads, dated infrastructure, more frequent than back home power / water / internet outages and some slow service at times. We say this because every year we get a guest that complains about the island and that is clearly the case of a guest going to the wrong destination for their vacation needs. In Eleuthera people are genuine, helpful and kind. It is unspoiled and gorgeous and mostly empty going back back 75 years in time. You will explore the most stunning beaches you have ever seen and have them usually all to yourself. Last but not least, crime is very low in Eleuthera unlike other Bahamian and Caribbean islands.

Villa Allamanda added to the overall calm vibe with it's stocked kitchen, colorful walls, and beautiful garden setting on top of the hill. You can definitely enjoy the views from the 3rd story balconies. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting this fantastic island. ##### Bobbie M.

Had a great stay at villa Allamanda! Owner is on site and available if you need anything. Awesome location with views of Atlantic and carribean. A 15 minute walk to beautiful twin coves beach. A short drive to French Leave beach. A mile long pink sand beach and our favorite! We enjoyed a quiet relaxing 11 day stay and loved the island and the people. We’ll be back. ##### Dale W.

Beautiful area and the accommodations were very nice and perfect for what we wanted. John was so helpful providing us with information on the area and was very accommodating. He was very prompt answering any questions we had too. It was reassuring that he had a generator in case the power went out which is a common occurrence on the island. Also, it was super convenient renting a vehicle from him as well. The vehicle was in great condition and you could tell it was properly maintained! Thank you for everything John! ##### Rachel L.
