Overview & Photos
Welcome to Winfield Manor, a newly remodeled beach house steps from the Caribbean. Winfield Manor has been completely renovated, just completed in the fall of 2023, and is now available for rent.
Winfield Manor is fully air conditioned. It features three bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a full en-suite bath. The master bedroom and bath have ocean views.
The spacious great room also has ocean views from many windows. It features two full-size sofas and a 42-inch flat-screen TV. This is a smart TV with a Firestick that can play all internet-related subscriptions (Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, Youtube TV, etc). We have a DVD player as well. Free internet is provided.
The modern island kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, range, oven, and microwave, as well as a stackable washer/dryer. The dining area, which also enjoys an ocean view, has seating for 6.
Outside, Winfield Manor has a screened porch and an unscreened patio that extends around two sides of the house. Both porch and patio have ocean views.
Step off the porch or patio into our large private yard. It is bordered by a small, very quiet street with the Caribbean Sea on the other side of it.
Amenities include AC throughout, WIFI, smart TVs with DVD, and a Peleton bike.
Winfield Manor is on the edge of Governors Harbour, the main town on the island. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, night spots, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, and a dive shop, all within a short walk of the house. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won’t want to miss it.
Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. It has a population of just 8000, and everyone knows everyone. It’s famous for being very safe. The snorkeling and diving on the island are world class. There are many reefs which you can snorkel or dive right from the beach. The fishing is also excellent, because the island is so undeveloped and thinly populated. Bonefishing is very big, as is deep sea fishing and reef fishing. You can fish on your own or hire a guide. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, paddle boards, jet skis, and bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for fishing, snorkeling, or diving excursions. There are several popular spots for cliff jumping, including some tame enough for children. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, dozens of beaches, each one unique, some historic churches and 19th century homes, and little villages to explore. There are local tour guides who can show you around. The island is truly magical

Sarah B. from Topeka, KS US recommends this vacation rental.
This house had more than enough space for all of us to have some privacy or gather together in the open kitchen/dining/living area. Misty, the property manager, was extremely helpful in making sure we were able to get internet (unfortunately, I had to work), offering advice, and checking in to make sure we were good. We loved taking morning walks around the town (be sure to stop by the bakery) before hitting the nearly empty beaches. The only thing missing was a sheet tray (we had to get a little creative) and some comfortable patio furniture--it was so nice to being able to sit and read and just watch the water across the way. We just wish there was enough furniture for all of us and more comfortable chairs. If you're looking for a low key vacation but want to see all of Eleuthera, this is a wonderful central location with plenty of room and access to the island.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The owner loved your suggestion and has ordered more patio furniture.
