Overview & Photos
"Any closer and I would be in heaven" is the wooden sign that hangs outside The Beach House. The interiors reflect island life with island style, a mixture of the old and new. Original one-of-a-kind pieces adorn this wonderful beach home. Vaulted ceilings, glass doors that step out onto a fabulous (and enormous) deck, and a view of the most breathtaking pink-sand beach lends itself to the ultimate island getaway. Step off the deck onto the amazing beach and walk into the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.
The Beach House has a beautiful pool with ocean views. The pool can be heated, if desired, for a charge of $350 per week.
The Beach House is located directly on French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that has been ranked top 20 in the world. It is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the premier location on Eleuthera. The town of Governors Harbour, with restaurants, groceries stores, shops, and banks, is only a mile away.
The Beach House has just been totally renovated (work completed in August of 2016). A mixture of modern and rustic beach living is the decor and theme throughout. Concrete counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a double commercial sink are part of the modern and well equipped kitchen. The dining table built from reclaimed island wood comfortably seats eight with additional seating for four at the kitchen island. The living area with its white couches and hand-crafted island straw mats looks out through a wall of glass onto the deck and French Leave Beach beyond. Relax outside on the beach-view veranda swinging day beds.
The Beach House has three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have king beds with ocean and beach views. The third bedroom has a king bed which can be converted to two twins (please request in advance) with a tropical garden view.
The house is fully air conditioned and every room has ceiling fans.
The large outdoor deck is the perfect place to watch the sunrise in the morning, sunbathe through the day, or enjoy a relaxing, tranquil afternoon. Equipped dining and lounging spaces and a gas grill, it is the ultimate getaway.
With its vast veranda and direct beachfront location, the Beach House is ideal for hosting weddings and other events. Additional charges may apply for events.
Amenities at The Beach House include air conditioning throughout, wifi, TV with a Firestick (no cable), a washer and dryer, three kayaks, paddle boards and a gas grill.

Perfect location on a fantastic beach. House is well equipped with everything you need from cooking utensils to sea kayaks. Our host Michele was very accommodating and welcoming.
Comfortable beds, plenty of space and a absolutely lovely outdoor gazebo made our stay even better. Location is perfect and we had a week in paradise.

We really enjoyed this home. Charming and comfortable. The location is exquisite. It's a windier spot, which means no bugs and a gorgeous view. We mostly went to the Caribbean side to swim, which worked out fine for us.

Have stayed in many beach homes on Eleuthera. The Beach House is at the top of the list! Very comfortable, well equipped and in the perfect location.
Tippy’s was our go to restaurant. Loved getting fresh fish from the dock in Governors Harbor. Was great having a generator as the power was out quite a lot the week we were there. Will definitely stay there again.

Lovely, authentic Bahamian home with lots of character on an absolutely stunning piece of property. Close proximity to everything we needed. Host and property manager were very attentive and responsive. Very desirable street near Governors Harbour. Felt very “safe.” Stunning views and steps to the essentially private beach. Fabulous trip.

This home is simply amazing. It was very well shocked, clean and is close to restaurants and stores. We had the best time swimming in the pool, snorkeling, kayaking, relaxing on the beach and enjoying the beautiful view. The only thing you have to bring is groceries. I would rate this home a 10/10! We will definitely be back!

Our adult family of five loved The Beach House! Great location ~ 30 steps from pool to beach. Great location on Banks Road in Governor's Harbour. Inside decor feels like a home. Views are amazing! Heated pool and kayaks and paddle board and snorkels too. We would definitely go back.

The location can’t be beat. Steps from the French Leave Beach. Short drives to Ten Bay, Double Bay, Unicorn, Cupid Cay. The grounds are in fantastic shape. The home is furnished with everything you need. Great owners. Our 4 and 7 year old boys had a blast with the body boards, paddle boards, pool, and beach cabana.

My wife and our family (six in total) began looking several years ago at celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in the Caribbean. She had been to the Bahamas as a teenager but I've never actually even been out of the country.
We used Google Maps and YouTube videos to scour the coastlines of every country. After two years we settled on the Island we felt had the best beaches, Eleuthera.
After deciding where to go we began our HUNT for the perfect place to stay. I can honestly say I sco

I started coming to Eleuthera in 1987 and have been trying to come back ever since. This is our family of 5 w/ 3 grown children, fourth trip and we will Never Stay Anywhere Else! We have found our home away from home @ The Beach House with the MOST wonderful host we have ever experienced in Michelle. There is no better location than French Leave Beach and this home makes you feel like you're in a movie. It has everything you could possibly need for your beach vacation. Well stocked kitchen for all your cook

The Beach House far exceeded our expectations. The online photos are accurate. The location was perfectly situated within steps of one of the most beautiful beaches on Eleuthera. The pool was perfect for a quick dip. The house was fully stocked with everything you would need. The owner, Michelle, was, by far, one of the most interesting and attentive individuals we have ever encountered in a rental property......bottled water and ice were always available. Any matters of concern were immediately addressed.

The best cabana in which to relax under in all of Eleuthera. Can't find a better place to stay around Governor's Harbour. Our only complaint which mirrors our comments from last year are the bed pillows. The bed and bath linens are super, but the pillows themselves need to be medium firm down with the option of a guest to ask for foam instead of what is provided. Renee woke up on day one with a stiff neck.

I cannot find more sophisticated words to describe how wonderful experience we had. The property is beautiful and beautifully located. Gazebo, house, beach... dreamy. Just wish there were smaller waves on the beach but that could have meant mosquitoes. You must stay there if you want to stay in paradise.

This was our second time to the beach house and we had a hurricane passing by offshore. The power flickered in and out for about 3 days but Michelle was wonderful in getting the generator running and doing everything she could to make sure our stay was great.

Very professional and convenient, house was clean and kitchen well stocked. Location and beach are absolutely outstanding, and so nice to have a pool with covered outdoor seating. Just wish the outdoor seating was able to be lit up at night. I do recommend bringing own soap/shampoo/conditioner as it is not provided. Lots of pool/beach toys and chairs. We can't wait to return.

Lindsey Sells recommends this vacation rental.
This house was absolutely amazing! The perfect spot right on the beach. We loved the covered area right by the pool. Everything worked great for us. There are not many options with 2 equal king rooms for 2 couples and this had that and the Authentic Bahama decor was great! We had Totacina come out for Swedish massages and Brenda D. cook an incredible dinner for us. The power did go out a couple times but Ive heard thats not uncommon. The water also went out on the island but the homeowner was very accessible and got her plumber out to get ours fixed very quickly. We had a lot of difficulties with the airlines and Matt the pm was great with providing other options to get there. We finally made it to the house a day late but we were so thankful to get there! We would visit again without a doubt.

Had a wonderful stay here. The owner Michelle was very helpful We stayed with our 3 kids that are all 10 and under. They loved the pool and the beach and had a blast! There was a bunch of beach toys there which was awesome for the kids. House was fully stocked with everything you need. Beach was just steps away from the house. The beach is absolutely incredible and only saw a few people each day. Fun snorkeling just a few steps away down the beach. The property is very close to town and everything you will need. I cannot recommend this property enough, we had an incredible time here and cannot wait to come back.
Doesn't get better than this!!!

Firstly, I would like to begin this review by stating that this was the 2nd time we've worked with Matt and Pam at Eleuthera Vacations. Great folks!!
The Beach House is a wonderful place to stay. The full remodel of this home dates back a number of years and it is beginning to show a little wear and tear. But this simply adds charm to an otherwise wonderful place to holiday. The beach is a mere fifty steps from the back deck and you will find a gazebo or cabana on the deck with cushioned benches and over stuffed pillows that offers a welcome respite from the sun but keeps you enveloped in the sounds of the ocean and a beneficiary of the ocean breeze. The home is owned by the madame proprietor of a very fine local restaurant who is a "hands on" manager and is dedicates herself to making certain that one's stay is enjoyable and problem-free. Our only complaint are the bed pillows since we prefer down to foam. But . . . guess what? We've already paid our deposit for a week's rental for 2023 and we will simply bring our own pillows for our 3rd holiday through Eleuthera Vacations in so many years!! Now . . . that tells you a lot about customer satisfaction, yeah?

We stayed at the Beach House in January and it was great. With three spacious, comfortable bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and views for days, you can't go wrong. Definitely get the pool heated, because January can be a bit cool and windy. The home is in a fabulous location, super close to Governors Harbor and ON French Leave Beach. The home is very well appointed with everything you are going to need to relax and reset. We'd definitely book here again. And, the owner and her family are friendly and super responsive.
