Don't miss-out on this Caribbean paradise. Everything on the website is true… and more. Large groups or small… family or friends…young or old… sportsman or bookworm…Capricorn House is fun and relaxing for all. We walked the miles of pink, pristine beaches, snorkeled in the reef-protected, calm ocean waters, sunbathed by the freshwater pool, witnessed the brilliant sunrises and magnificent sunsets, and entertained under the incredible starlit skies. Discover this special place… You'll be back!

True Bahamian Paradise
From my perspective, the closest vacation experience that I can make to my stay at Capicorn House Bahamas is it is like staying at a Ritz Carlton except adding the besutiful, isolated pink sand beach and a full compliment of ocean toys (kayaks, etc.). You kind of feel as though you're on your own private island because you cannot see another home from anywhere on the property. I've been to the Bahamas many times (my husband was born there) but this was truly the most incredible mixture of all the best scenery and exquisite gardens with 5-Star accomodations. Worth every penny!

This was the best vacation my family and I have ever taken. The beach was
pristine and so private, we did not see one other person during entire
stay.
The house is lovely and has all brand new bathrooms which were wonderful
and
the kitchen was state of the art which helped us save some money as we
cooked at home for three nights. There is
wireless internet and many DVD's to watch when you stay in. A truly
lovely
home with everything we could have asked for, a gorgeous beach, warm pool,
plus comfortable and luxurious beds. We will be heading back next year!

Eleuthera is an incredible place, the house is most mesmerizing oceanfront place we had ever seen. Capricorn house was more that we expected and we have truly enjoyed a fabulous trip. This is the second visit to Capricorn for our friends and the first for us. We loved the local restaurants and the people were all so welcoming. The bathrooms were a great surprise as they are all clean, new and well done. Great grill for the fish we caught also, professional all the way. So much better that a hotel and actually was cheaper that having to pay hotel and restaurants for each meal. We are hooked on this place. Try the local bakery also!

Our group, 12 adults and two toddlers, had the most splendid
week at
Capricorn House. The grounds are large enough to accommodate
everyone (in
separate spaces or together), and the beach is isolated and
gorgeous. The
house is well appointed and well stocked with books, games,
spices, sun tan
lotion and bug spray, making it easy to move right in and feel
at home. It
was a hard place to leave and we're already working on coming back!

We brought our family to Capricorn House with high hopes for an exceptional holiday and left wanting to return again and again. Capricorn House bids you to relax and enjoy through its abundant amenities and serene, private surroundings. The property is expansive and lush with fruits and herbs and beautiful flowers. It easily hosts a large group with the perfect blend of communal space and privacy. The caretakers and staff discreetly ensured that we were never in want of anything. Walk on the beach, swim in the pool, grill freshly caught fish or lobster on the patio ... Capricorn House is a gorgeous retreat you will treasure
