Breathtaking panoramic ocean view from stunning open, airy villa with huge pool

If you like oceans, probably the most mindblowing view in the Bahamas.
Every day, and night, the sound of the ocean and the breeze that comes with it, is designed to make your time at Rainbow House unforgettable.
The pool is huge..it's completely private, and if you have children, they simply won't leave it.
A few minutes walk and you're at the Moonshine Bar, where you can drink Pina Coladas or Bahamamamas to your heart's content and have a snack of local fish tacos. This is your dream vacation house..the privacy of a Hemingway-esque home (see photos).
Not a coincidence that visiting Bahamian ministers always choose Rainbow.
See Video of Rainbow.

All taxes and fees are included in the price, the only payable extras are electrics (metered) which is paid to the Stella Maris resort at the conclusion of your stay, and an 'end cleaning' bill of $150 which saves you having to do it!
Also there are often flight credits from Nassau to Long Island and enquiries on these should be made to Jill Smith at the Stella Maris resort.

Loads of marine style activities available..deep sea and reef fishing, legendary bone-fishing, scuba and snorkel and NEW to the list..visit the island farm and cuddle a little pig, goat watch, see the pigs swimming around in the ocean--hilarious.
Or go for a bike ride, walk the spectacular shoreline and wash your mind of day to day concerns.


Situated a few miles south from where Columbus stepped ashore onto the Long Island powdery sand beach remarking this 'was the most beautiful island in the world' sits Rainbow House, one of the most spectacular houses in the Caribbean.
Crossed by the tropic of Cancer, Long Island has the gulf stream warming the ocean in winter and trade winds cooling its shores in summer to create the perfect climate. Long island is an undiscovered gem, unblemished by skyscraper hotels and mass tourism, yet has all the amenities and adventure for a fantastic family or couples vacation.

Rainbow House, just a few minutes from the Stella Maris airstrip, accessible from Nassau by schedule Southern Air or Stella Maris charter, boasts the most dramatic seascape view in the world. You wake up to that view from every room in the house. And fall asleep every night to the soothing lull of crashing waves. It is a private ocean front villa located in a tranquil setting surrounded by gracefully sweeping palm trees and the colorful brilliance of tropical flowers.

Rainbow house has super spacious living accommodation...Elegant large bedrooms and living areas with awe inspiring views overlooking the 1200 sq ft infinity pool, a gazebo-perfect for evening cocktails while you watch the dramatic breaking surf off the Atlantic..all set within lush landscaping making it totally private and secluded.
The huge airy master bedroom at the pool level has recently had its bathroom upgraded. You'll only want to leave it to jump into the pool, just yards away.

Fully equipped with luxury amenities inside the house, outside lounge chairs and table, the house has been routinely upgraded and renovated, has split unit air conditioning, sliding french doors and luxury fittings everywhere you look.

Amazing Island
Stella Maris employees, Jill, waitresses, taxi driver, chef and anyone I missed are phenomenal. Assisted us in many ways. Very quick response time. Rainbow House is extremely well stocked, especially the paper products and towels. Kitchen is also well stocked with plenty of utensils, cookware, dishes etc. The villa was clean, as were the grounds. The upper deck is very large, as well as the pool deck. Gazebo great for fantastic breeze and photos. We highly recommend this property and resort. I have a couple of suggestions. We personally are outside people, and I wish there were some vertical blinds on the 2 large sliding doors. It would tremendously help with keeping family room cooler. Another plus would be TV's in the bedrooms. Definitely not needed, but watching TV in bed would be nice. Thanks for a lovely, memorable vacation. Pam, Gregg and Shannon

Wonderful stay for first visit
We had a wonderful stay at the Rainbow House in Stella Maris. The house is beautifully decorated with a wonderful view and plenty of space to spread out. Unfortunately, we didnt get much use out of the gigantic pool because it was pretty windy all week. The beds and bedding were comfortable and there were plenty of towels provided, both bath and beach. The downstairs suite was huge and relaxing. We always travel with our own card games, but thr boys loved playing Sorry and UNO from the house selection too. The Stella Maris complex was wonderful... breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were great, drinks at the Moonshine bar were delicious and all of the staff members were so friendly. Jill the property (and Stella Maris) manager, was great- so friendly.

Fabulous escape
We had the most wonderful Christmas escape at Rainbow Villa. Starting with our charter with Joel and the Stella Maris Air Service from Nassau, our trip was special. Everyone at Stella Maris was wonderful, providing us with everything we needed, from car and taxi service to groceries and meals. The holiday events were a great diversion. The house itself was well stocked and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was clean and the loungers were comfortable. The three ensuite bedrooms were private, and the common space was great for hanging out - indoors and outdoors. An absolutely perfect getaway!

Thawing Out at the Rainbow House
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible oceanfront house, and we can't recommend it enough. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the beauty of the house's interior - high ceilings, elegant furnishings, and plenty of natural light making for a stunning and comfortable living space. But the real highlight of the property is definitely the outdoor space. We spent hours lounging by the private pool, taking in the stunning ocean views just a few steps away. The pool area is beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of seating options for soaking up the sun or enjoying a meal outside. And we can't say enough about the staff at Stella Maris down the street - they truly went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was unforgettable. From a warm welcome upon arrival they took care of everything so that we could just relax and enjoy our vacation. Whenever we needed recommendations or assistance, the staff was always available and eager to help. Overall, we would absolutely recommend the Rainbow House to anyone looking for a luxurious, tranquil escape. With its stunning location, beautiful pool, and attentive staff, it's truly the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

Spacious home and property in Stella Maris
There was plenty of room for our small party and we truly enjoyed the views and sounds of the ocean and the pool! The house was clean and the property manager was helpful with any questions we had. This was a great location for walking to the Moonshine beach bar/restaurant and a short walk to the main Stella Maris restaurant. It was a quick drive up to the north end beaches and down to Deadman’s Cay. We highly recommend eating at Chez Pierre‘s restaurant as well! Call ahead and enjoy the food of the island!

Long Island's Best
Rainbow Villa is a great place to spend a vacation! All 3 bedrooms are comfortable with beautiful views of the Atlantic. The pool is large, well maintained and fun for the kids. Moonshine bar, nature pool and main dining room are a short walk away. Everyone that works at Stella Maris is helpful and friendly. The house was spotless when we arrived, and they freshened it up multiple times during our stay. Highly recommend for a family vacation!

Poorly maintained property!
Property was in need of major updates and improvements. In addition, we were not made aware that after each evening's rains, the property became hugely infested with small crabs (hundreds of them each night). Pool needed work, overall quality of the property was poor.

This house is great!
Both the owner of the house and the resort to which it is connected are lovely to deal with. The house is situated in a very magical spot right on the Atlantic ocean with incredible views. Magical moon rises and sea air. Inside the house is charming and warm and spacious. Bedrooms are isolated and private. Beds comfortable and a great time was had by all ! Highly recommend.
