Description

THE BAHAMAS IS OPENING UP AGAIN and Rainbow House is ready and waiting to be your dream vacation house, complete with perfect, secluded private pool, total privacy and access to the nearby Stella Maris resort for beach bars, activities and servicing of the house.
 
If you're 'working from home' why not work from Rainbow House..breeze off the ocean. views to die for and a pool yards away to cool off.
 
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 $125 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, play tennis  or just walk the 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.

  • Alasdair Ritchie
    •    

Janice and Alasdair Ritchie live in New York State, about an hour North of the city.
They have a home in the UK too, in a sleepy Oxfordshire village where they spend some time visiting grandchildren.
They originally bought Rainbow House from Katharine Jahr in 2011. She and her husband had built the house 30 years previously. Alex Jahr was one of the famous Gruner and Jahr publishing dynasty family with a fanatic interest in deep sea fishing, so many of his trophies adorn the walls of Rainbow House and the nearby Stella Maris boutique hotel.
The house was built to exacting German quality standards.
Alasdair Ritchie purchased this Villa in 2011
Why Alasdair Ritchie chose Stella Maris
Rainbow House represents all that is beautiful in a Caribbean villa. It is set in a marine environment which changes continuously. The sunsets and sunrises have to be seen to be believed and the gazebo overlooking the ocean is a place to just contemplate the world. Sitting underneath the canopy of this simple edifice is the fastest stress reliever known to man. The whole experience as you look out to the horizon, seeing the odd cruise ship or fishing boat heading for Cuba or Florida, with the waves washing the coral right beneath your feet, and the large Infinity pool behind you..guarantees you will leave Rainbow a calmer, totally relaxed person.
What makes this Villa unique
The gazebo mentioned above.
The Infinity pool, the beautiful stylish bedrooms-all quite different from each other and the huge living room redolent of the famous Ernest Hemingway.
Nowhere like it in the world.

Rainbow House on Long Island is a rare gem!


Long Island is a hidden secret in the Bahamas. It is untouched, quiet and virtually empty. We had many of the beaches to ourselves. The house itself is spacious, clean, and very well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need. The ocean view from the huge porch and patios are magnificent. The pool is very clean, huge and right outside your bedroom door. The beach and bar are just steps away. The Stella Maris staff were very attentive and responded quickly to every question and issue we had. We are heading back again this year. Can\'t wait for some rum punches by the pool! We recommend Rainbow House for everybody.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay last year at Rainbow House on Stella Maris Resort , and we are returning this year! The house is very well maintained. The pool and sun decks are such a treat as well as the huge Atlantic Ocean views , every morning with coffee to see the sunrise! Awesome! The resort is so close - with wonderful staff to help if needed and they offer some terrific Rum Punch Party\'s and excellent meals... can\'t say enough about this great holiday home! Our family is quick to come join us on our Long Island retreat!
