Overview & Photos

Gallery

Welcome to Aqua Villa!  Constructed in 2015, Aqua Villa is situated directly on beautiful Unicorn Cay Beach along the prestigious Banks Road, just five minutes from the town of Governor’s Harbour and ten miles from the Governors Harbour airport. 

The white Bermuda roof and ocean color façade of this aptly named, 1500 square foot villa immediately draws you in from the secluded parking area below. Curved limestone steps usher you up to Aqua Villa’s entry while you are taken in by the sunset-facing heated pool, large pool deck and covered porch for private swimming and sunbathing. 

The 350 square foot covered porch extends from the pool deck to separate wall-to-wall sliding door entrances to the two large adjacent bedrooms. The contemporary bedrooms each have king-sized beds and the master has a LED flat screen TV. The master bedroom has an en-suite bath with private commode and shower. The second full bath has a porcelain tub/shower combination for those who enjoy soaking after a day of swimming, snorkeling, exploring, and beach walking.

Both bedrooms open to a vast east-facing great room with sweeping beach and ocean views. Enjoy the view while lounging on the comfortable sofa and leather chairs in the open living area with 55-inch LED flat-screen TV. The sofa converts into an oversize queen with a high quality mattress to accommodate two additional guests. This spacious, airy room has a beautiful tile floor centrally embedded with a compass design. A fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances are available for those who enjoy cooking up local seafood caught with your spear or line, or bought at the town dock. Enjoy mornings at the breakfast island or dining table for six while you eat and take in the ocean view.  There's also a Keurig (be sure to bring KCups from home) as well as a regular coffee maker. 

Wall-to wall screened sliders open onto at second large covered porch furnished for dining or relaxing as you enjoy the beach, ocean and lush landscape. Savor a sunrise breakfast and listen to the surf of the Atlantic or prepare a dinner on the outdoor gas grill and relax on a lounge. The enormous mahogany deck overlooking the beach is reminiscent of a ship’s bow from which one can gaze at expansive, unobstructed north/south views along the beach. 

Kayaks and beach going equipment are stored under the deck. A short grassy path leads downhill past a fully constructed outdoor shower with bench. Literally steps from Aqua Villa, a pristine pink-sand beach and crystal clear turquoise water await you. Your own thatched palapa provides a shady respite on your sunny beach. 

OUR NEW ONE-BEDROOM GUEST COTTAGE IS AVAILABLE FOR AN EXTRA CHARGE OF $800 to $950 PER WEEK, depending on the season.  If you don't need the guest cottage, it will be locked off and not rented to anyone else.

Aqua Villa is fully air conditioned and has its own generator should power be interrupted. A laundry room is equipped with front-loading washer and dryer. Other amenities include high-speed internet with WIFI, cable TV, and a DVD player.

Nearby are Tippy’s restaurant, a 5 minute walk down the beach, and the Banks Road Deli. A short drive back into Governor’s Harbour and you have the convenience of banks, ATMs, grocery stores, bakery, liquor stores, gas stations, the Haynes Library, dive shop, gift shops, and medical clinic to satisfy your needs. You can dine at local places like Da Perk, the Buccaneer, French Leave 1648, Sunset Inn, or the Friday Night Fish Fry near Cupid’s Cay. Centrally located, you can easily travel to many of Eleuthera’s famous pristine 100 beaches, such as French Leave, Twin Coves, Ten Bay, or Sky Beach. Travel to the bottomless Ocean Hole, explore the caves, or visit small villages on your way to Lighthouse Beach and its cliffs. Enjoy it all while staying at Aqua Villa!

We arrived to a very clean house in perfect setting! Gorgeous beach down the steps complete with lounge and Adirondack chairs, and kayaks. Expansive deck overlooking the beach. Pool is in great location - slightly warmer behind the house with limited sea breeze! Guest cottage is wonderful addition to brings babysitter, another couple, etc. we can’t wait to return! We traveled to the north and couch ends of the island and agreed this was the best area to stay in. Walked to Tippys three night and GH is

Spent 5 nights in January. Place was great and a short distance to Tippys. Beach was great although not as wide as our previous stay in Windermere which spoiled us. Good quality rental although we had some issue getting hot water. Having a washer and dryer in unit was great.

Cara Webb recommends this vacation rental.

Our stay at this stunning home on Eleuthera was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how convenient, comfortable, and well-equipped the property was.

The location is perfect—just steps away from a beautiful, quiet beach with powdery pink sand. Whether lounging on the beach, walking along the shore, or enjoying the view from the deck, it felt like we had our own private paradise.

The home itself is beautifully furnished with plenty of seating

I never seen anything like it. Pictures don't make justice of how beautiful that place is. The pool is amazing, much bigger in person than in pictures. The view. The beach is right down the stairs. Is beautiful never seen a beach like it. We got to see the owner , he was beyond generous, Pamela was so quick to our additional night requests, Sonya the onsite manager was too kind and quick to help us with anything we needed at the house. I can't wait to go back next year. It is a hidden gem. Many local restau

Tom Taschler recommends this vacation rental.

Our 3rd trip to Eleuthera, 1st stay at Aqua Villa. Located on the best beach on the island. The villa is extremely well maintained (kudos to owner) & equipped with everything one needs for an island stay. Comfortable bedding (a must have), short drive to restaurants, beautiful ocean views, long walks on the beach, relaxing pool. What more do you need? We really enjoyed our stay. The Villa is very comfortable & relaxing. Aqua Villa is perfect couples.

Exactly as described on the website. This is the tenth time staying in a rental on Eleuthera and the first to which I would give a 5 star review. Location to beach, back-up generator and heated pool were the best of the many favorable features of this home

Beautiful 2 bedroom house with stunning deck views, lovely relaxing pool and the best beach on Eleuthera. The house has everything you need. We enjoyed using the two kayaks. The new generator was very helpful and the few power outages. Check in and communication with property manger was great. You can walk to Tippy's restaurant for wonderful meals and local music. It was hard to leave such a beautiful place.

This was our fourth year staying at Aqua Villa, and it was just as nice and perfect as the first time. The property is exceptional, the beach pristine and deserted. We met the owner, Steve, and tried some different restaurants. It was another stress-free and fantastic experience! Dave and I are already planning our next trip here!

Mark Nagy recommends this vacation rental.

Aqua Villa is truly a gem of a rental property. The owner has incorporated additional touches that really separate this property from many others. The furniture on the deck allows one to read or relax in the shade while still hearing the ocean surf. The palapa allows one to read or relax on the beach while also getting some shade if one wishes. We saw others on the beach directly exposed to the sun while we relaxed under the palapa. The whole home generator was a blessing as the electricity was out for a fe

Words cannot describe the beauty of this house and its location. The house was fully equipped with everything you would need during your stay and also things like a cooler and beach towels if you wanted to explore the island. My favorite was waking up early and enjoying my morning coffee on the back deck and taking in the scenery. We ended our evenings relaxing in the pool looking up at the stars. We snorkeled many beaches during our stay and our favorite spot was the beach the house sits on. The reef is am

Kenneth Glover recommends this vacation rental.

We stayed for 1 week at Aqua Villa and it was perfect. The location is about a 7 minute walk to Tippy's down the beach. The location is very private with only a few homes on either side. The pool was a nice addition for the little one when he was tired of the beach but the house itself is actually a lot larger in person than the pictures show. Very tall ceilings make it feel much bigger. Some constructive criticism would be that the kitchen needs some updated cookware and glassware/cups. There are two huge

Judy Walker recommends this vacation rental.

This place checks all the boxes. Great location, very clean and well maintained, comfortable furniture and beds, all the amenities you could ask for, and most importantly Hewitt the property manager. Perfect for a party of four, or six if you add the extra apartment near the pool. Steve, the owner, takes pride in his home and it clearly shows.

Dean Kraner recommends this vacation rental.

Beautiful waterfront rental that provided us with a private comfortable retreat to come back to after traveling around the main island as well as visiting several other islands close by. The owner himself came by to resolve a couple minor items and was very helpful.  La Bougainvillea was superb for dinner and was very close by (we ate there 2 times), unfortunately both the Buccaneer Club & Tippy's were closed the entire time we were there, but Tippy's would have been a staple for us had it been open as it was a perfect walkable location from the rental!  We also really enjoyed Frigates Bar & Grill in Rock Sound and The Shipyard in Spanish Wells.  We hit Mel's Snack Shack on the way back to the airport - and it was also a great little stop for a beachside lunch. The Leon Levy Plant Preserve was worth a visit, the view from the Tower was spectacular-be sure to wear your walking shoes! But the best day we had was when we rented a boat in Spanish Wells and took a picnic lunch with us out on the water...visited Pig Island and Egg Island and just had the most beautiful day! We would highly recommend you bring as much of your own frozen meat and non-perishable items as you can to have on hand to eat in some - why not, you have a grill, a fully equipped kitchen and a spectacular view!! The restaurant & grocery prices are quite steep compared to what we pay in the U.S. and the selection was extremely limited.

☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Richard Kalayjian recommends this vacation rental.

This was our fifth  visit to Aqua Villa, so we are very biased. As always, it is apparent the owner AND, as importantly, Howard the property manager, take their obligations to their renters very seriously. As per usual, all of the stated amenities are in place at Aqua Villa. However, due to weather, sometimes severe, or minor, or, "just because", a working generator is essential. Also, when the weather is wonderful, a palapa, with loungers,  on the beach for sun protection is key. Aqua Villa has both. Do not overlook these Bahamian necessities!

Wonderful as always, we shall return. Richard+Ann

Toni Sweeney recommends this vacation rental.

We stayed at Aqua Villa the year it was first built by the owner. Loved the location and the home! We returned this year after my daughter's wedding and Steve's home did not disappoint. The home is really well maintained and this is not always the case in homes you rent on the island. Great attention to detail and some updates made to the outdoor furnishings that were even better (if they could be) than before. The home has a wonderful pool right as you drive up, huge deck on the back of the house with gorgeous views of the Atlantic. Steps down to the beach (quick walk to Tippy's - an island favorite), two ocean kayaks, plenty of life vests, shower to rinse off midway up the steps from the beach. House is well equipped - air conditioning works GREAT, an air cleaner/sanitizing system has been added right off the kitchen, lots of towels for the pool. Two bedrooms, two full baths with the optional cottage with a full bath adjacent to the house.  We used the cottage due to the size of our group this time. The owner was on the island and stopped by to see us the first day.  Happy to say - we will be back to visit Aqua Villa! Special thanks to Matt and the team at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals for coordinating our second stay at Aqua Villa - you always make it so easy!

Aqua Villa has everything that you could wish for in a holiday home. The beach was perfect and an easy walk to Tippys for lovely evenings of food and music. It was fabulous to sit on the deck and watch the ocean, with all,it’s shades of blue and turquoise. Would love to return.

Five star across the board. The house and property lived up to the expectation. Spectacular beach with Tippy's a short walk away :) Easy access to Governor's Harbour and all its amenities (grocery stores, restaurants, ...) The property owner stopped by on several occasions to make sure everything was going well, nice touch. Will definitely rent again, hopefully soon.
