Overview & Photos
The calmest of beaches in Eleuthera are on the Caribbean side of the island. With a southwest exposure, you will experience some of the most incredible sunsets in the world. This unique location offers you over 1,500 feet of beach front to enjoy. It is nestled between two small rocky point peninsulas, creating a very calm and private atmosphere, alluring you to make this your lifetime vacation home, as it has for many others.
Amenities include AC in all rooms, wifi, satellite TV, DVD player, CD player, video library, music library, washer/dryer, back-up generator, and three sea kayaks (two single and one tandem).
Pau Pau Bay was named many years ago, upon the discovery of the land's abundance in vegetation. Among the many fruits, there are pau pau (papayas), coconuts, and pineapples. Directly in front of the beach are the Pineapple Cays, four islands that offer a great anchorage and protection on windy days. Pau Pau Bay is home for an astonishingly diverse collection of sea creatures living in just 3 to 9 feet of water...
The town of Governors Harbour, less than 10 minutes away, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.
Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is completely safe any time of the day or night. Enjoy the rare experience of picking up hitch-hikers and leaving your keys in the car wherever you go. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for excursions of various types. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore. We hope you will enjoy Pau Pau Beach Estate, and experience all our island has to offer.

A special place in Eleuthera

Nicholas de Sherbinin recommends this vacation rental.
Beautiful location on a peaceful bay, nice spacious, well-equipped and well-maintained house with no other houses in sight other than one far off on a point to the south, perfect for 10 for a family vacation. Rugged road access got a bit old going in and out, but that's Eleuthera, and the owners are working on the road that's on their land. The beach is accessible to others (not sure if the few cars were trespassing when the drove in to the access point a few hundred yards south) but only a handful showed f

Maria DICKSON recommends this vacation rental.
We all enjoyed this house and property very much! We loved the location and all the privacy. The pictures online do not do it justice. Our favorite part was boating and kayaking out to the small islands and snorkeling. It was better than snorkeling on an excursion and this was free! We would definitely rent this house again and tell our friends to rent it also.

We had a great time in Eleuthera and the house worked perfectly for our group of 8. The beach is beautiful and we explored the area for sealife. The caretaker was very responsive and took care of all our needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Scott Thomas recommends this vacation rental.
Loved our stay at Pau Pau Estate. It is a special property with a lovely, spacious house. The beach front and bay is amazing. House does need updated beach chairs. We usually like to have portable beach chairs to take to the wonderful Eleuthera beaches. The chairs at the house are plastic solid type that were all cracked and needed replacing. It's our understanding that the cistern water did not have purification systems so we purchased bottled water (about 1 gallon per person per day). Really enjoyed.
Great house, incredible beach!

House was clean and well equipped. Beach, snorkeling and time on the water was super as no travel required. We enjoyed a good fire in the fire pit and some fruit from one of the trees. Daniel, the caretaker, was responsive and stopped by to say hello and see if we needed anything. Thank you!
Awesome!

This place is so cool. Beautiful private beach with some really cool cays to kayak out to. Perfect for our kids and perfect for us! Close to Governer's, which is a plus and so many awesome Atlantic beaches near Palmetto Point. Can't beat the proximity to the Island Farm either!
Perfection!

Our family of 5 found the home to comfortable and a perfect location to make you feel you are on your own private island. Beautiful bay, small islands just a kayak ride away for added adventure. And great fishing!
Eleuthera had fantastic restaurants when we weren’t in the mood to cook too!
Wonderful vacation!

We had a fantastic stay at Pau Pau! The home was clean and very well-stocked. Daniel, the property manager and Matthew Simon were so nice and very responsive. The beach grass was always raked and trash taken as needed. We had the beach to ourselves and enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking to the islands in front of the home where we snorkled some more. We saw many reef fish, barracuda, stingray, nurse shark, and lobster! We spent time also exploring some of the beaches on the island and really loved Lighthouse Beach, Tay Bay, and Twin Coves. Twin Coves had amazing snorkeling! We visited Cathedral Caves, Preachers Cave, Ocean Hole, and Sapphire Hole. We also went on a snorkeling tour and fishing charter with Sheldon with Exotic Excursions and caught reef fish and fed the stingrays and sea turtles and went tubing! The locals are so friendly and we enjoyed the food and treats at Da Conch Hut, Mate and Jennys, Tippys(best pina coladas), Buccaneer Club, Cravings Bakery, and Coco Dream. We would love to come back. Thanks for an awesome vacation!

Absolutely loved the location! Great semi private beach on Caribbean side with shallow water and views of offshore islands. Saw sting rays in Water near shore. Be sure to visit Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve. Daniel arranged local lobster and crab. Grounds keeper cut and opened some fresh coconut for us. Actual house in need of several repairs.
