It is truly amazing the number of “hits” you get when you “Google” Eleuthera. We find this amazing because of the number of times we have mentioned Eleuthera to friends and acquaintances and have frequently received blank stares or, at the very least, a puzzled “What?”
Of course, we are more than happy to wax poetic about this beautiful island to those who have never even heard about it. And, so are many other websites.
Here’s a few of our favourite sites that give lots of good information:
Eleuthera.com and eleu.net – have lots of great information and a Newsgroup as well. Please visit their sister site as well – Bahamas4U – for lots of information on all of the Bahamas
Discover-Eleuthera-Bahamas.com – is another site that gives you a multitude of information about Eleuthera. It is written and maintained by a couple living their dream on Eleuthera.
Eleuthera-map.com is a great place for – you guessed it – maps! And, also bunches of other types of information.
Eleuthera Living is also packed full of good information. It appears this site may not have been updated for a while, however lots of information is still accurate and the tide charts give current information.
The Eleutheran Newspaper – has a print version that is available once a month and is online as well.
We’re only just scratching the surface here. And, I’m sure lots of you have favourite sites as well. If so, be sure to let us know what they are and perhaps we can give them a mention, too.
BahamaPride Stella Maris, Rainbow Bay, Eleuthera
From now until December 31, 2009, the owner for the BahamaPride Stella Maris rental home is offering a special rental price.
The regular rental cost for this brand new two-bedroom home is $750/week – which already seems like a great deal.
However, mention this newsletter, and the owner will reduce the price to $500/week – if you rent for 2 weeks or more – up until December 31, 2009.
With amazing views of both the Atlantic and the Caribbean, and several beaches just a few steps away, this is a great deal.
