BLUE RUIN

Blue Ruin is a lovely property situated right in town. Nestled into lush vegetation at the edge of the bay and hidden behind a blue wall, the house is entered through a wooden door that opens into a plant-filled courtyard. Straight ahead is the large and very nicely decorated living room with a seating area and dining alcove. Off it are a bar room and the master bedroom.  Three other bedrooms are down a hallway accessed via the courtyard. French doors in the living room open to a very pretty covered porch with comfy sitting and dining areas. It’s really more like an outdoor living room. From there steps lead down to a terrace and the saltwater pool. Below are a long dock and a bunkhouse, which has a separate entrance off the street.

The view across the bay to Eleuthera is beautiful, especially at sunset, and to the right is the charming waterfront and town dock. It’s always fun to bob in the pool and watch boats coming and going. Blue Ruin’s location makes it perfect for walking along Bay Street and to two of the island’s best restaurants at The Rock House and The Landing. Another great feature is that guests have a temporary membership at Coral Sands Hotel, which is right on the island’s famous pale, coral pink sand beach. Membership includes signing for meals and drinks and use of the beach facilities, tennis court and the large, fresh water heated lagoon pool. All of this makes Blue Ruin an ideal house for a family.
