Screen in the back porch needs fixing, bath towels need to be replaced, no toiletries just one roll of toilet paper and hand soap, no tv, internet is weak. And the the latter part of the road to get to the house is horrific. Nonetheless, we had an amazing time able to relax and enjoy the beach. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d2504761-4885-4340-bd5b-b341216491a1-1751197906243.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3974c9be-478a-45a2-89c7-39d7dc2284a7-1751197906116.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cristina L.

The house was clean and well appointed, with many amenities. There were some things lacking they were just small issues (no sponge or washcloth for dishes, not enough laundry soap, no cooking oil). We enjoyed lounging in the gorgeous water right outside of the back door, and the sunsets were amazing! Tenielle was extremely responsive to messages with any issues or questions that came up. The property is secluded, so be prepared to drive if you need anything, but the Midway Cost-Cutter and Eleuthera Island Farms are not too far away; the farm is fantastic, go on Tuesday morning for fresh cinnamon rolls! We will definitely stay at Bella Mer when we return to Eleuthera, you should stay here, you won't regret it! ##### Ashley K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pim J. 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Bella Mer is absolutely wonderful. It’s spacious, clean and has everything you’d need. Our family had a marvelous time snorkeling, fishing and enjoyed meals as well as drinks right by the sea. Property management was so helpful from the moment we booked should we need informations or assistance. ##### Pim J.

Wind was strong (20-30 mph) out of the east most of our trip and being on the western side protected us from some of the wind. House was great and generator was needed as power went off numerous times. Little extras provided like beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, and beach cooler were greatly appreciated. ##### Teresa P.

It is secluded so you cannot walk to any restaurants or shops, but its perfect if you want to relax and sit on the screened in porch and listen to the water. You feel like you have the whole cove to yourself. I would love to go back again one day! ##### Patty T.

Bella Mer is such a pretty house with most any amenity you would need (even a wine chiller!). Very pretty interior with an amazing view! The beds were super comfortable and the a/c cooled the rooms quite quickly every evening. Lots of beach gear (although some better beach chairs would be our only request as that is a tough thing to bring but there were lots of floats to hang in the water). Tennielle was very attentive and quick to answer any questions we had. A great stay and we look forward to visiting again! ##### Tammy B.

Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our 6 nights at Bella Mer. The house has a very nice layout and we couldn't get enough of the water and view. We are a family of 4 (teenage kids) and the house was a perfect size for us. Definitely recommend that you rent a car that is higher off the ground and has 4 wheel drive so that you're able to navigate the 1 mile road to the house. ##### Lynn A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy L. 10 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great VRBO Great VRBO. House was clean, kitchen had everything we needed. A few issues popped up during our stay but Tennielle and Kristin promptly took care of them. The screened in porch was damaged but was told new screens were on order, understand it takes awhile to get parts. The trampoline wasn't in water think the cover must have been damaged and on order. Snorkeling in front of house is great, Ralvin Buggies tours was a lot of fun. The best grocery store is The Market in Rock Sound. But for fresh veggies and bread Island Farms! We already miss Eleuthera! ##### Cindy L.

Reviewer Comments: Our party of 3 adults & 2 kids under 10 years old had a great time at Bella Mer. We enjoyed the well appointed house & surroundings. We had wonderful snorkeling experiences swimming towards Ten bay and in Kemp’s Creek. The water trampoline was a bonus. The kitchen had everything we needed. The caretaker was fantastic with communication & accommodating us. We will be back. ##### Kristen T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meghan D. 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great house, well stocked kitchen, and nice views of bay We really enjoyed our stay at Bella Mer. It was very clean and the kitchen has everything we needed since we like to cook a lot. We chose this house for the location, as well as the generator due to frequent power outages and the outdoor grill. Needless to say we were very disappointed when we arrived to see there was not an outdoor grill. Also, we had 4 power outages over 3 days forcing us to cook by the light we brought from home because the generator wasn’t working. Power outages happen but not having the generator as promised was beyond disappointing since it was one of the reasons we chose Bella Mer. The snorkeling was excellent in the creek and from the dock. Even saw a sea turtle! ##### Meghan D.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bella Mer is everything that's described and then some. The house has everything you need. It's immaculately clean (thank you Tennielle), the kitchen is fabulous if you plan on cooking, and Ten Bay beach is literally just around the bend. The road to the house is pretty bad as other reviews noted, but once you're there, you'll love the remoteness and privacy. The floating trampoline is nice for sunning or just grab a float from the porch and a cold beer and float around in the water. Don't hesitate to rent this house; you won't be disappointed. ##### Randy & Louisa R.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bella Mer was the home we chose after being unable to rent our previous longstanding preferred home. I’m so glad we did! Bella Mer was the absolute perfect spot for us. Our priorities are solitude and snorkeling. Bella Mer is perfect on that front. The home was immaculate and well appointed. Not too big and not too small. Just right. The snorkeling on site is fantastic with Kemp’s Creek being easily accessible. Nightly sunsets were magical. Tennille the property manager was delightful and responsive, though we were able to find everything we needed. It was nice to know she was a quick WhatsApp message away. We love central Eleuthera for its ready accessibility to the rest of the island and Bella Mer is a perfect launching point for island adventures. We fully intend to return. We truly could not have been happier with Bella Mer, in fact just a few days into our stay we agreed that this was our new home away from home. ##### John W.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is amazing! It has an amazing view, access to the water, TONS of water toys including water shoes, snorkel fins, masks, various floats, and even paddle boards. The house was very clean and stocked with all the necessities that we needed such as toilet paper, towels, and every dish you would need. The washer and dryer came in handy to wash the beach towels that are provided as well. The road is a little bumpy to get to the house but completely worth it. It also has a screened in porch which was a life saver and let us still be able to enjoy the view and being outside without getting bit by the dreaded no-see-ums that come out around dusk. We contacted the property manager about check out and she responded very quickly. I would definitely recommend this property to everyone. Queens bath and the blue hole at the north end of the island were amazing! All the food was amazing too! ##### Melissa Y. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex D. 13 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First time in Bahamas/ Bella Mer!!! This property is great! It has a perfect set up for a couple or a family or 3 couples. There is a ton of snorkelling gear at the house so don't bring anything unless you are particular of sizes but it seemed there were alot of options. One paddle board was deflated when we got there but we only used the good one anyway so no big deal (there was a pump there but i never tried). We saw all kinds of creatures in the water from little grunt fish, angel fish (gray), a nurse shark right at the ladder, a barracuda, and some turtles all from the porch! Also walk the driveway past the house and walk up the cliffs to watch the sunset! You can easily paddleboard to Ten Bay Beach as well and that is the perfect hang out when the ocean side is windy. We would come back in a heart beat! The beaches around governors harbor and south are great and be sure to do some research of maps before you go and while you are in route as maps and satellite images are the best way to navigate to some places like John Millars which has according to a british woman has STONKING good shells, which it 100% did! Go There and you will have a beach all to your self. Between Bella Mer, Lighthouse Beach, and John Millars, I could easily go back and do it all again! The only downfall of Bella Mer is the drive back to the house but every time we go back we said, Totally worth the drive! ##### Alex D.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful vacation and really enjoyed our time at Bella Mer. The house is very well appointed and is exactly as described and was immaculately clean upon our arrival . It has everything you might want or need to prepare your own meals. We especially enjoyed the dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer as we didn’t have to bring as much. The screened in porch is great for morning coffee and coming in from the water.Tennielle, the caretaker ,was very friendly and accommodating. She let us put our cold groceries in the refrigerator early as we were coming to Bella Mer from a few days in Rainbow Bay and had to check out there at 10:00am. The snorkeling from Bella Mer is fantastic! Go left and follow the rocky shoreline past the Kemp’s Creek opening about 100 yards. There are Protruding rocks with channels to swim through. We saw nurse sharks, sea turtles, huge crabs, starfish, sting rays and millions of fish. We snorkeled every day except our Lighthouse Beach day (highly recommend) and did two night snorkels, one night starting right in front of Bella Mer.Ten Bay beach is right around the corner and is a perfect calm beach. And lastly, the sunsets from Bella Mer are beautiful. We will definitely be back! ##### Ann S.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I were disappointed in Bella Mer. We had read the positive reviews and decided to book on that and the view. We had reached out a week prior to our arrival to make sure they had a grill & propane, but the afternoon we arrived we purchased chicken & steak and were not able to use the grill because the igniter was broken. The WiFi was not working either. We did reach out to the property manager & she had the WiFi rebooted. The rental advertises paddle boards but they both have holes and one was unusable. The other we had to pump it up regularly. The beach chairs were broken. The pots & pans were very old and there was only one oven save dish. They didn’t leave any bottled water to start our week or dish detergent, hand soap, only two trash bags, no foil, only 1 paper towel roll. We had to purchase a lot of basic necessaries for bathroom & kitchen.The grill should be replaced. There was a slippery film on the tile so when entering the house we slipped walking around. They did come back and mopped the floor. They didn’t have any matches or lighter to light the candles on the porch to rid of the moquitos. We had to request more bath towels. Its not luxury but what made us book this house was the back yard view and access to the Caribbean. We will stay at a different property next time. We never felt comfortable and we shouldn’t have had to request what is advertised for what we were paying for. This is not an inexpensive house but the price should be lower for what is offered. We also had to kill a roach in one of the bedrooms the first day. This made us very uncomfortable thinking they made be more throughout the house. ##### William V.

Clear communications prior to arrival and very easy check in process. The house was spotless on our arrival. Beautiful view of the Caribbean. Kitchen items were very well stocked.. We didn’t need it, but the owners thoughtfully provided much in the way of snorkeling/ water equipment. Just a great stay all around. And a huge thank you to Kristen and Tennille for working with us on a bit of an early check-in - very much appreciated. ##### Russell H.
