Overview & Photos
Welcome to Sandy Hill Beach House! Open the front doors to this stunning 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom beach house (which also has a 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage) and you are greeted by breathtaking views of the turquoise and coral ocean filling the entire room!
We are located on the Banks Road, the most sought-after location on Eleuthera, a 3 minute drive from the beautiful and quaint town of Governors Harbour, where you will find everything from grocery stores, gas stations, coffee shops, liquor stores and restaurants which offer great views of picturesque Cupids Cay and the Caribbean. Here you can watch the fishermen bring in their daily catch or simply sit with a wine or coffee and watch the activity of this charming little village.
Sandy Hill is decorated in light neutral tones framed with antique wood beams, floor to ceiling custom antiqued wood, and white painted walls which bring the vibrant outdoor colours of the Caribbean to the inside. Floors throughout the home are covered in a beautiful sand coloured tumbled marble.
The main house is constructed in 3 pods each connected to the main living area by glass breezeways, allowing for quiet and privacy in the bedroom areas. The north and south pods (wings) of the house each contain a queen size bedroom with a TV, and a bunk room with a double bottom and single top bunk bed. Each of the two wings have a full bath, which the two bedrooms share. All bedrooms have large windows and sliding glass doors with incredible ocean views. They have high vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, and closets with shelves for easy storage of clothes, and access to a covered porch area with table and chairs. One bathroom has a bathtub with shower and the other a full shower. Both bathrooms have custom made vanities and mirrors, and are bright and modern.
The central pod is the main area. It features partial high-vaulted ceilings constructed in wood, and offers a very cozy living space with wall-to-wall glass doors overlooking the ocean. The kitchen has a large island and bar stools and is fully equipped with all the necessities you will find at home. The dining table seats 10 comfortably and is strategically placed so all guests have an ocean view. The sitting room has cozy over-sized sofa and chairs and wall TV. Soft carpeting gives a luxurious feel when relaxing in this area. This area also has a powder room with a washer/dryer.
Above the living area is the upstairs master bedroom, which has a king size bed. The master features a balcony with panoramic views up and down the beach and a beautiful sunny en suite bathroom with large shower.
The laundry room with new stackable washer and dryer holds all laundry necessities. This room also has cabinets for storage, a bathroom area, and a built in wall safe with key or code entry for safe keeping of valuables. We now have superfast Starlink internet!
The one bedroom guest cottage is located on the west side of the house, and features a queen bed and full bath with shower. It is available for an additional charge of $1400 per week, which also pays for 2 extra guests.
Sandy Hill Beach House’s large and magnificent outdoor area has a covered patio with a dining area and gas grill, also in tumbled marble continued from the interior, with steps down to a large custom-built cedar deck, comfortable sitting area with sofas, tables and lounges. This outdoor area is set on top of the dune with spectacular views of the ocean and pink sand beach below. A stunning infinity pool which appears to spilling down the sandy hill into the water below will keep you cool and refreshed. The pool can be heated for an optional fee of $600/week. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is provided.
Custom built wooden steps from the outdoor area lead down to the ocean and miles of pink sand. Enjoy our two sea kayaks! A five-minute walk down the beach will bring you to famous Tippy’s restaurant and beach bar.
Rates are for up to 8 guests. Add $525/week for each additional guest.

Perfect Time at Sandy Hill

Mary C Bush recommends this vacation rental.
Our family of 8 had the most wonderful stay at Sandy Hill Beach House. The layout of the home was perfect, offering privacy, yet places for the family to gather. The view of the ocean was magnificent from every room in the house and particularly from the many outside relaxing locations, furnished with comfortable lounging options. Our many morning and late afternoon walks along a perfect white sand beach allowed us to get the at least 10,000 steps in daily. The grandchildren ages 13-22 enjoyed the house as much as the adults. Sheryl and Denise were always available to help and answer any questions or if we needed information to help plan for our vacation at Sandy Hill. Everything needed for a perfect vacation was supplied-from comfortable beds and bedding to a fully stocked kitchen. We would love to return and wish it could be often.

Sandy Hill was a great spot for a family vacation. The house, with its separated sleeping areas, worked well for our multi generational family. The location was excellent, quiet but with easy access to town and Tippy’s. Having the pool meant that even on windy days the kids could play and swim. We plan on coming back.

We found Sandy Hill beyond our expectations. The house is well appointed (lots of pool toys, spices, dishes etc.) Many places to enjoy the outside. Very nice furniture. We had Sheryl cook a Bahamaian dinner. Delicious
We pre-ordered groceries to get us started and I highly recommend. The beach in front is heaven. You won't be sorry with this home.

A beautiful, well maintained property in a great location. The beach is down a bit of a hill and stairs which may challenge some but the pool is great too. Sherry coordinated transportation and cooked us a wonderful meal one night. Denise was also responsive. Tippy’s just down the road is a good option for meals.
Our group of 8 really enjoyed riding side-by-sides to see the lighthouse; good, fun time.

This was truly a trip to paradise! The home is absolutely beautiful! The house was everything it said - even better. Well stocked, the caretaker was wonderful and the owner was readily available if we had questions. The beach was amazing and we were practically the only ones on it! Highly recommend this rental. Hoping we can return soon!

Matt and Tara helped us for the third year to take our nine family members to a beautiful location/home on the island of Eleuthera, in the eastern Bahamas. We can't express how wonderful our family loved celebrating the US Thanksgiving holiday with lobster, snorkeling, and lounging on the most beautiful beaches in the world! The connections that Eleuthera Vacation Rentals has given us has made our vacations some of the best and most relaxing ever.
Thank you to Matt Simon, Denise (the owner) and Sheryl,

We had an amazing stay in Governor's Harbor. It was our first trip to Eleuthera. Sandy Hill was fabulous with our big group. Room for everyone. Everything you need to cook at home, no detail spared. We went out on several day trips to Rainbow Bay, Sapphire Hole and half day excursion. However, the view and outside space at the house is all you need!! Sherry was very responsive and cooked us a fabulous dinner! Matthew from Eleuthera Vacation Rentals was great to work with as well as Denise who both checked i

Sandy Hill Beach House was a wonderful location for our family vacation. The house was exactly as described. Both the inside and the outside were spotless. The pictures show the house but don’t capture the true beauty. The views from every room were spectacular but the views from the deck and pool are indescribable. I have never seen so many shades of blue/green in my life. The beach was beautiful and we had it mostly to ourselves. There were 4 nice (Tommy Bahama) beach chairs and 2 very nice beach u

Jimmy/Colette Druhot recommends this vacation rental.
Very beautiful and comfortable home on Banks Road. House is designed just perfectly with incredible view of ocean from every room! Lots of light everywhere and lots of space. Manager greeted us and made us feel very welcome. Loved all the sitting areas about the property where little groups could hang out and visit. Kitchen has absolutely everything you need to cook meals. Favorite restaurant was La Bougainvillea about 5 minutes down the road. Took a fishing trip one day and caught barracuda and grouper! Grilled at the house and it was delicious! Beach is lovely and the sand is like powdered sugar. Easy walking going either way. Pool was delightful and we spent hours in it just enjoying the sun and the views. Saw dolphins one morning; a real treat! If you think you'd like to stay here book early; the calendar seems to fill up quickly. You will not be disappointed in a stay at Sandy Hill!

The layout of Sandy Hill, the location, and the condition of the home were all excellent. We rented cars from Sherry and she also cooked for us one night. Those were also great experiences. Matt Simon and the owner of the home were also great to deal with. Would definitely rent Sandy Hill again.
Perfect house in the perfect location! Paradise!

Jennifer Nelson recommends this vacation rental.
Sandy Hill Beach house was the perfect place to celebrate my big birthday with family and friends. The house itself is beautiful and equipped with everything you could wish for. The pool was sparkling clean and as we were right on the most beautiful stretch of the pink sandy French Leave beach, the view was second to none. We could walk along the beach to Tippys restaurant and snorkel straight off the beach too. The last week we were there we even had dolphins playing in the shallows right next to us. It was simply heaven! The beds were so comfortable and the air con and all the appliances worked so well which often is not the case in a rental. I always use eleutheravacationrentals through Matt Simon when we come to the Bahamas and once again he didnt disappoint. There was a large group of us on the island and Matt arranged rentals close by each other which worked very. The house owner was really helpful and always easily contactable. There is no doubt we will be back!
Dreamy luxury vacation home!

Jordan Baker recommends this vacation rental.
This home, the view, and the setting takes your breath away. We knew this would be a nice place, but we were in awe of how truly incredible it was. What a treat to stay at such a beautiful home, on the most exquisite beach. The sand, water, and views were perfection. The home was well equipped and beautifully furnished. We stayed further north during our first week, but much preferred this location. The only thing that took away from our enjoyment were the bugs & bites on this island - if we can find a remedy for that we will be back as often as possible. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
- Manager Response:
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The noseeums can be pesky if you are allergic to them, but you can avoid them. If they are present at all, they will come out at dusk and in the evening, so they won’t be a problem during the day. Mosquito repellant often works. Another popular solution is baby oil. The little bugs can’t bite through a layer of oil. Worse case, you always wear a pair of long pants and socks, because they go after legs and ankles. The evenings are usually comfortable, so you can wear long pants outside if necessary. The bite of a noseeum is not very bothersome, but don't make the mistake of ignoring them if you are allergic to them. As soon as you feel the first little bite, put on your long pants, or your baby oil, or go inside. Otherwise, if you are allergic to their bites, you will wake up a day or two later with many itchy bumps on your legs.
you, too, should go

We visited Eleuthera for the first time with a group of friends. We all loved it. The beaches are spectacular and we liked the casual, friendly atmosphere of the island. Sandy Hill, nestled in the palm trees overlooking the beach, offers beautiful vistas. The outdoor living and dining spaces are wonderful. Conch fritters at Tippy's on the beach were delicious.
