Governor's Harbour Villa Summary

Located a couple of miles south of Governor's Harbour on the Atlantic coast of Eleuthera, looking out onto one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas. Relax in the warm waters of the Venus Pool, visible only at low tide. Walk for miles on the cool pink sand. Build fires from driftwood and cook under the stars. The houses are at the end of a long private driveway. 'Pebbles, the guest cottage, has it's own parking area, out of sight of the Main House. The houses enjoy complete independence, and do not over look each other in any way. Decorated in true Caribbean colours, nearly all the rooms look out to sea. Nearby are some of the best restaurants on the island. Cocodimama is great for sundowners and Mate and Jenny's has real island atmosphere. Cigatoo has a swimming pool and a tennis court. Dolce Vita has one of the best chefs in the Bahamas, Paulo! Just down the beach is the famous Tippy's! Organic vegetables available locally.

Notes: The views from this house are spectacular! Because the house is all on one floor, it makes it easy for families with children as well as making it possible for wheelchairs and people with walking disabilities to be able to get around easily and onto the patio and into the garden. However, they may have trouble getting down to the beach if they cannot be carried or helped. This depends on the height of the sand, which is outside our control! The bedrooms have a/c as well as overhead fans, except the Children's Room, which has an overhead fan and lower level fans.. The living/dining room has several overhead fans and floor level fans. The view from the Living Room are breathtaking! You can enjoy looking up the coast towards Harbour Is. and out to the Atlantic. There is a large patio going around the front of the house, giving private seating areas to some of the bedrooms. All this is facing the ocean and the beach. Miles of cool pink sand!
