You are ON THE WATER. Walk out your front door and down the private walkway into the Caribbean. Swim and snorkel over coral reefs at water’s edge that are home to over 10 species of colorful tropical fish. A short way out is a broad sandbar 3 to 5 feet deep that is excellent for wading and swimming.
Sip morning coffee on our dock at water’s edge. Enjoy breakfast in the gazebo or veranda. Relax in the hammocks. Grill your evening meal on our shaded veranda while you catch the cooling breezes and watch the sunset.
We provide three kayaks that can be launched from our sea walkway for exploring Rainbow Bay.
Rainbow Beach is a minute stroll away. Shallow and calm it is a wonderful beach for kids and adults and offers great snorkeling along the jetty. Relax under tiki huts with picnic tables and benches (seasonal). We provide noodle floats, beach towels, and beach chairs. It is a ten minute walk from Dolphin House to the Atlantic side of the island where you will find more beaches to explore.
Dolphin House offers privacy and year round comfortable living inside and out. Our huge veranda has comfortable seating areas, tables for dining that sit four or six, two reclining loungers, lounge chairs, and a propane grill.
Two of our three bedrooms have sea views and en suite bathrooms. These bedrooms are situated at opposite ends of the home with kitchen and living/dining area in between. This floor plan provides privacy and distance. The third bedroom with bath off the central hallway has a view of gardens front and side. Open the doors and windows and enjoy natural breezes from the Caribbean and the Atlantic. Ceiling fans and standing fans in all rooms contribute to additional air flow.
Just outside our veranda doors you can enjoy noodle floats, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, hammock lounging, and grilling without ever having to get into a car. Rainbow Beach is just a minute walk away.
But of course Eleuthera offers so much more. Be sure to explore deserted beaches, local community shops and restaurants. Meet friendly people with welcoming smiles. Visit Eleuthera and Dolphin House. You will want to return.

Only thing that was weird is you have to go pick up keys. We went and Brenda had already put keys at place for us to get. A lock box would be so much easier especially with how flights and everything get delayed etc. Other than that house was absolutely great. A/C works great, very functional house, and being right on water was incredible. Walk down the steps into water, last step slippery and you are in beautiful water, gazebo great just need the bug spray, I brought the foggers and man they worked great. Two master suites on on each side plus the third bedroom and bath on one side is great layout. Kitchen totally functional with everything you need to cook, and location is about 10 minutes to James Cistern good shopping, liquor store etc. 30 minutes to Governors Harbor, 30 to Gregory Town etc. Would say nice being home to our beds, nice pillows there would work wonders but when we hit em, we were tired from all the exploration, diving, fishing etc. No power outages while there but day we left, bad storm hit so trees down on queens highway, power and water out so hope all good down there. From talkin with locals, Covid really hurt. A lot left to Nassau so things were left. With Jacks Bay, Disney and new resort in Winding Bay, people coming back, but we noticed difference since last time, but the island is so beautiful with so much to see and do. Will drive a lot but you gotta to get out and explore. Food was great, service too. We will be back again!!!!!
Love the location, swim access, and views of this property!! The communication was excellent and we will most definitely be back! Just a heads up it is a bit dated, but it’s comfortable and provided all the necessities we needed for the week. We brought dried goods and cooler bag with frozen food to supply majority of our food. Stores and restaurants are pricey, but we still enjoyed some local restaurants too!
This was our first time on the Island and it was amazing. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything you could need ,it was if you were in your home. The care tacker was always available and very responsive we were their for eight days and had our second thoughts about going back home. This is truly paradise we highly recommend this property.
This house was perfect for our family. The location is 5 star. Our boys fished and kayaked for 5 days straight!
There was my daughter, great granddaughter and myself that stayed at the house. Everything was emasculate and the house was lovely. There was plenty of room in the house and it was loaded with amenities. The porch was fabulous and had more than enough room for everyone. The gazebo was awesome. There was not one thing bad about the house, and if we ever go again we want the Dolphin House. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us. Donna, Karen and Abby.
What a beautiful property. The home was impeccably clean! The view was to die for! We had everything we needed! Rainbow Bay Beach is steps away. You can snorkel right off the back steps. Loved this place!
This was our second stay at Dolphin House. We don't usually go to the same place twice but this is a special space. The house is clean, smells good, plenty of room, comfy beds, lots of hot water and well stocked kitchen. Kendra is a lovely and helpful host and the local family that maintain the house are sweet people. The show stopper is that incredible view off the back veranda. We've been all over the island and nothing beats that amazing turqoise water right out the back door. The snorkeling is great too right off the yard. We saw stingrays, grouper, lots of fish and even a turtle. Its absolute paradise.
Our trip was unbelievable! The house was great. Best vacation in years! Everything was perfect! Brenda and Lisa were great Had a great time going to there cookouts! Brenda is such a special person. Lisa also! You hit jackpot with these lovely ladies! There kindess made our trip so much more! Treated us like family! I named Brenda the mayor! Billy was also so kind. They made our trip so relaxing and fun! We will be back to Dolphin House! Already miss both ladies! vicki
Staying at Dolphin House made our Everything relaxing and enjoyable. Everything was very organized, and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's a beautiful place to see stunning sunsets and swim all day long. Booking Dolphin House was easy, great communication and Brenda, the housekeeper was very helpful.
Such a pretty setting, being right on Rainbow Bay was beyond great. No one wanted to leave to explore other beaches!
We absolutely loved Dolphin House in Rainbow Bay! The home was spacious for our family of four. Even though the rooms and furnishings are older, you can tell that the owners and caretakers take great pride in maintaining everything beautifully. The house was impeccably clean and all the appliances and features worked well. The kitchen was well stocked, and they offered a lot of extras for use like beach bags, a cooler, extra beach towels, etc. The beds were not the most comfortable but were fine. We also liked the way the owners have everything labeled to make it easy to figure out how everything works in the house. The crown jewel of the house is the backyard. The view is just stunning and we really enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling off the back porch on calm days and watching the waves splash against the rocks on windy days. Sunsets were spectacular from the gazebo. Between the hammocks, the gazebo, and the back veranda, there are plenty of places to sit, lounge, and eat outside to make the most of it. The location is also fantastic. It is only 15 minutes from James Cistern with several good restaurants and then another 10 minutes to Governor's Harbor. To the north it is only about 15 to 20 minutes from Glass Window Bridge. There are a ton of great beaches within a 20 minute drive. All in all, we would highly recommend Dolphin House and we can't wait to return!
the House is on the water. gorgeous views from Vernanda and gazebo. House very comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked with cookware / dinnerware. Kayaks and snorkle gear available. If water calm can launch Kayaks right from property. We loved the hammocks, had cocktails and coffee on veranda and gazebo. Beautiful sunsets .We ate our meals outside on Vernada. So peaceful.
The location right on the Caribbean with Rainbow Bay Beach just a short walk and access to water right on the property was excellent. Wonderful place to watch the sunset- just remember your bug spray!
Two teens, middles aged and 75 yo. Snorkeling right off the deck as well as Rainbow Bay was some of the best we had in the island. Brenda was so kind and welcoming. Only down side was no soap/shampoo. Great location!
Rainbow Bay was the best!!! You can definitely imagine heaven when your there. The water was crystal clear and there are sometimes thousands of prisms on the sand floor! On calm water days I absolutely loved kayaking and snorkeling there. The Dolphin house has soooo many extras with it, you wont be disappointed. The water view from the porch or gazebo is always so beautiful!! Rainbow Inn down the street has the very best restaurant we found in Eleuthera, its called sunset cove and rainbow room). We ate there several times and were impressed every time with the food and service.
We had a great time. House was fantastic. Thanks for accommodating my family!
This was our second trip to Eleuthera and we had another amazing week at the Dolphin House! Brenda (the caretaker) is wonderful to work with and so friendly. The house has everything you could possibly need and more. It’s in a great location! You will not regret staying here!
This was our fourth trip to Eleuthera, and the first time staying at Dolphin house. The home is well stocked with every amenity available. The location and the condition of the home is absolutely amazing. This property sets the bar extremely high, cannot imagine staying elsewhere on our future visits.
