About this property

Trade Winds - Oceanview, Private Pool, Short Walk To Pink Sand Beach, Central.

New house at eleuthera's most sought after location: banks road - golden mile

Tradewinds is a secluded 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa, with a private pool and spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean. Located on the Banks Road in the heart of Eleuthera's “Golden Mile”, it is 900 feet (3 mins walk) across Bank's Road, down a deeded path to a beautiful, quiet, pink sand beach. The property also has a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom guesthouse which is available to rent with the main house. (The guesthouse is ONLY available to rent WITH the main house -it is not rented independently. Cost to add the guesthouse, $100 extra per night.) The area from Governors Harbour to North Palmetto point is the most spectacular and sought after stretch on the island, with gorgeous pink sand beaches, amazing reefs and great restaurants and cafes. You can walk from the house to Tippy’s restaurant along the beach.

The house is set in 1 acre of native, tropical vegetation, which creates privacy. The private pool is 24 x 12 feet, with a constant 4 foot depth, ideal for swimming or just relaxing after a day at the beach. 1800 sq feet of spacious decks, both covered and uncovered, allow for sunbathing, enjoying the ocean views, outdoor dining, or relaxing by the pool. The entire property is exclusively rented to you, with no other renters or owners on the property.

Elegantly furnished throughout, the house is inverted, with the great room and kitchen on the upper floor allowing wonderful views and breezes in the main living space. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances and a large island with bar stools. Downstairs, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, Smart TV and spa-like ensuite bathroom with a claw-foot tub, walk-in waterfall shower and double sinks. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed, and has its own private balcony - perfect for morning coffee. The second bedroom can also be converted from a king-size bed to 2 twin beds.The guest bathroom has a walk in shower. There is private high speed internet throughout the house.

Beach chairs and 2 sets of snorkels are included with the rental. You can snorkel the reefs, swim, or walk for miles along the pink sand beaches that start just a 3 minute walk from the house. There is a 42" flat screen Smart TV (with a Netflix subscription) in the great room.

The house is located centrally on the island in what is considered the prime location in Eleuthera. It is near the best Pink Sand beaches, and there are several restaurants within a 10 minute drive. The area is called the Golden Mile for a reason! You will be swimming in crystal clear waters, snorkelling gorgeous reefs and relaxing on some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the world.

What an oasis!

Tradewinds was just what we needed as a spot of relaxation before a big wedding. Jethro was so considerate and came by to make sure our stay was going well and to find out if we needed anything. We thoroughly enjoyed the home with comfortable beds and clean refreshing pool. The 3 min walk on the sand path through the palm trees opening to the breathtaking Atlantic beach was a bonus. We hope to come again!

Just chill

Great property, easy access, and great host. Jethro added to the enjoyment of our trip by giving us tips on locations, activities, restaurants, shopping, and even helping us with our drinking water. He did not have to be as attentive and kind as he was, but he was anyway. We were warned about power outages but didn’t have any problems during our stay. The path and beach walk to Tippys was a great experience. We recommend.

Our sanctuary in paradise

This was an absolutely amazing rental home. The location was perfect: a quick and easy drive into town and an easy walk to the beautiful beach across the street. Eleuthera can feel rural at times and while this property is tucked a bit out of the way and felt quiet and private it was still easy to access. We loved the town of Governor’s Harbor and were really happy to have this location as our base for exploring the southern side of the island. Everything matched the listing accurately and the layout of the house was perfect for our group of 6 friends and couples. Great common space and a really well appointed kitchen that made cooking at home a breeze. That top deck with ocean views was so peaceful and comfortable for morning coffee. Jethro is a hospitality pro, he welcomed us so warmly, took his time showing us the ins and outs of the property, and was happy to give advice about which restaurants to go to and which beaches and excursions to check out per our group’s needs. We took a lot of his advice and were so glad we did!!We all wish we could’ve stayed much longer and are eager to return. Thanks, Jethro!

Loved it!

This was our third time staying at one of Jethro’s properties, and the first time staying at Trade Winds. On previous visits, we stayed next door at Sea Shanty. This time, we had another couple join us, so we reserved Trade Winds, and it did not disappoint!There are so many hangout options – whether you want shade or sun. The decks were great, and the pool was wonderful!Jethro is a fantastic host. Great communication, and very responsive to any requests.The location of the house is perfect for exploring the island – and the beach across the street is gorgeous. Perfect for a sunrise, or a walk to Tippy’s. As with Sea Shanty, the beach access is across the street, down a short, tree lined path (maybe 3–4-minute walk). We prepared most of our dinners at the house, which was well equipped. Overall, a terrific experience. We can’t wait to go back!

Christmas at the beach!

Great location! Only steps to the beach. Stars are amazing. Sound of waves can be heard from the deck. Sunrise from the front deck each morning was wonderful. Sunset off the side deck is also great! Kitchen is well stocked for coooking and nice that staples were left behind from past guests, inlcuding extra drinking water. Be sure to go to the Island Farm store and the Market in Rock Sound was impressively stocked, especially for us as vegetarians who coooked most of our meals at Tradewinds. Information provided by host on nearby beaches, stores and restaurants was very helpful in our planning and considering what to do each day. Host was also very responsive with suggestions and help of any kind. December was a little too cold for us to use the pool but it was cleaned everyday in case we wanted to take a plunge. The secluded beaches, the adventurous roads, the wonderful shops and stores, the very helpful residents and shop owners, and Island Farm are the reasons we will be returing as soon as we can!

Ultimate Paradise

This place is perfect for exploring beaches and also having a pool. Located in the middle of the island its convenient to go either North or South. Jethro is hands down the best home owner we have ever rented from. Immediate response in person if needed. Even though right on Banks Rd the privacy is perfect! Looking forward to returning to this beautiful island and will definitely return to Tradewinds!

Trade Winds

We loved it there...it was quiet, peaceful and very private. We would definitely be staying there again. The only issue is that it is listed as a 3 bedroom when it's actually a 2 bedroom. The pool house makes the 3rd bedroom and that has to be rented separately. Other than that, this place is fantastic. Jethro is an awesome host!

Fantastic. Hidden gem for sure.

Over the 10 years we’ve been coming to the island Trade Winds is the best value we’ve had yet. It’s a great tucked away property with privacy, great access to beach, actual walking distance to Tippys and Jethro is outstanding. We’ve never had such a great host. This property is the perfect blend of real Eleuthera and comfortable housing. We will absolute stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Thank you so much Jethro for all your help and information. This is just what we were looking for.

Even better than advertised! Best on the island.

Our stay at the Trade Winds house was nothing short of perfect. The property is immaculate. Gorgeous decor in and out of the house. Beautiful and clean pool. And complete privacy! The house has everything you need for a relaxing and/or adventurous stay! Jethro was the true definition of an excellent host. He has intimate knowledge of the island and couldn't have been more helpful.

Perfect getaway

Great private location in central Eleuthera. The beach is an easy 3 min walk. The grocery store is 6 min drive and under 20 mins to GHB airport. Everything you need is stocked in the house. The beds are comfortable. The views from the top porch are gorgeous. And, I can't overstate how awesome Jethro and his wife are at hosting. They went above and beyond on multiple occasions when things went sideways due to my stupidity. Incredibly gracious and genuinely kind hosts who live near the property. You will have no regrets selecting Trade Winds for your stay on Eleuthera.

Fantastic stay!

We loved this property. It had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the AC was cold. The owner, Jethro, was easy to reach and communicate with and gave us some good ideas on what to do. He lives near the property, so he met us there when we arrived, and gave us a tour and explained everything, which I greatly appreciated. There were plenty of towels, both beach and bath, and he provides a 5 gallon jug of water to start you off which was nice. Everything was clean and and the living area is a nice space for a group. The house is convenient to all things in Governor's Harbor. We ate at Tippy's, which is right down the road. If we ever travel back to Eleuthera, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

JUST BOOK IT

After rescheduling our trip to Eleuthera 2-3 times due to Covid and then a medical issue, we were finally able to make it down to stay at Jethro’s property and it was totally worth the wait! The home is located in a nice area that gets you away from everything! The beach across the street is STUNNING and you MIGHT see 1-2 other people strolling the sand but you also might not. The property was exactly as listed and well appointed-Jethro and Bubbles (his sweet pup) stopped by upon checkin to go over a few things and that was really nice. Speaking of Jethro, you can expect his communication with you to be stellar - truly a helpful and gracious host! He now sets the bar for all VRBO hosts LOL. Highly suggest Tippy’s which is super close to the house (amazing customer service, food/drinks, and view; popping down to Ten Bay Beach (about a fifteen minute drive from the house) which was jaw dropping beautiful, visiting the Glass Window bridge (and if you’re brave and careful climb up on the rocks for some amazing panoramic pics), and hitting The Market supermarket for groceries. We did go to Harbour Island for a day trip; rented a golf cart to scoot around and it was really nice-much more of a bougie scene on that island and a lot more people if that’s your thing. But we were quite happy at the beach across the street from Jethro’s and then cooling off in the pool at the end of the day! Felt totally safe during our whole trip. Like I said, JUST BOOK IT.

If you're considering Trade Winds....DO IT!!

My family of 6 spent a week at the Trade Winds House and would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering this area and this house in particular. The house was clean and just as described. It had everything we needed and was in a great location. It's close to Governor's Harbor and restaurants as well as a couple of grocery stores. The beach near the house was really one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen. I think we saw maybe 2 other people on the beach the whole week. The home is in a nice central location for exploring both ends of the island. We loved having all the beach toys and used the paddle board almost daily. The beach umbrella came in handy although we all ended up with bright red sunburns. In the evenings we enjoyed watching Netflix and hanging out together in the comfortable kitchen/family room area. Jethro was so helpful and gave us lots of information about the island and things to do. He told us about many spots that we would have never found without his instructions. We loved Eleuthera so much we're booking a trip back next month. Unfortunately, Trade Winds is already booked or it would definitely be our first choice. Maybe next time.:) Thanks again Jethro! You ROCK!
