About this property

The Barefoot Beach House sits on a sandy beach

The Barefoot Beach House is one of the nicest guest house offered in South Palmetto Point...just south of Governor's Harbour in Eleuthera. This is offered as a 2 bed/2bath. See Home Away 4279742 for an additional bedroom and bath if you need 3bed/3baths. Step out the door to a beautiful crystal clear turquoise beach. We have a rowboat that can double as a sailboat, a canoe and kayaks for your use. Inside the tropically decorated home you will have all the luxuries of home...hair dryer, iron, cable TV, WI FI ,games & water toys. Fully equipped kitchen and 8' wrap around patio with patio furniture and gas grills. Relax in the hammock under the palm trees, catch a bonefish right off the beach, explore the many beaches on the island, take day trips to the north & south and do some island exploring or just relax on the sandy beach and soak up some sun. Come back and enjoy the oversized shower with room for 2 or sit out on the patio and enjoy the stars that sparkle like diamonds in the sky.
Easy commute to local attractions: Located about the middle of the island it makes it great for day trips to the north and south. We offer a book with directions to all the beaches and attractions...explore at your leisure. There are several stores and restaurants located within a 5-7 mile radius. You might not want to leave the property as we are located on a sandy beach and have a boat that can double as a sailboat, a canoe and kayaks for your use. Enjoy relaxing in the swaying hammock under the palm trees, work on your tan on the beach or explore the island and find hidden beaches. With our unique location we have sunrises to the east over a point of land and sunsets over the Pineapple Cays which are right off shore. You will have breathtaking views of the stars at night..like diamonds in the sky. You will find The Barefoot Beach House relaxing, squeaky clean and comfortable.

Please leave all your worries at home. We expect you to relax...we even provide you with a complimentary BOTTLE OF LOCAL RUM! Our motto is: Enter as a guest, leave as a friend. Once you have visited Eleuthera you will not want to go home. With our repeat guests we know that you will want to come back again and again.

If you have to contact home...: We have wireless internet available at the Beach House. (The owners also have a computer available to check emails as well as a phone that can make calls world wide.)

Secluded, cozy cabin for 2. Plenty of room and a fantastic shower. Bed is up some steep stairs but sturdy ledge to use especially in the middle of the night. Close to Red River Gorge & hiking trails. Well worth the price.

Barefoot Beach House

This house has a great location centrally located on the island and sits on a beautiful sandy beach. The Owner takes pride in her house and keeps it very clean and pristine. The grounds are tropical and well maintained. This was our first time exploring the island but honestly we could have stayed at the house and just enjoyed everything this house had to offer.

Perfect location

Met Skip as I arrived at the house. Beautiful spot in front of a sandy beach. Since Palmetto is in the middle of the island it made for a great starting point to explore the whole island. The house was comfortable and had what we needed for a relaxing stay. If I ever make it back to Eleuthera I’ll definitely stay with them again.

Spectacular beachfront cottage

Firstly the cottage is one of the most impeccably clean places we have ever stayed at. Skip and Sharon have done an amazing job at making this cottage wam and welcoming. The location in palmatto point is conveniently located to grocery/liquor stores nearby. The beachfront is fantastic. Literally 50 steps from bedroom to the warm carribbean waters. We will definitely be back again.

Beautiful Location.

My husband, adult nephew and I stayed a week in the Mermaid/Seashell Combo. It was the perfect size for us. The house was equipped with everything we needed and the mid island location was ideal for us to explore north and south. Sharon and Skip were welcoming and they live next door so they are accessible at any time. The beach was beautiful, calm and private. It was great for swimming and snorkeling around the little cays. I highly recommend staying at Barefoot Beach House and visiting Eleuthera.

Terrific Place

A hidden gem, S. Palmetto Point was great. close to every where it is some where in the middle of Eleuthera. We explore the north to get to boat tours and my grandson had a blast swimming with the pigs,turtles,snorkeling and more. But the truth is that the beach in front of the house is all you need. the house had everything you need, very comfy and very well decorated, the hosts are great and will help you with direction, Maps helped a lot. You want to stay longer, the people are very friendly there. We are returning next year God willing.

Above expectations

The pictures on the internet do not do the cottage justice. We counted the people we saw on the beach during the seven days we were there; 8. Everyone of them spoke to us. Every interaction on the Island was pleasant and folks generally went out of their way to accommodate. Our host was most gracious and a wealth of local information which took away all the guesswork. We're headed back as soon as we can lock in a date.

I would give 6 stars if that were an option!

You will hear a lot about the island and how magical it is….and I was very disappointed in the pink sand. All the pictures you see are taken with filters. If you want to see pink sand, wear pink sunglasses!! I have to say that the island people are super nice and the island holds a decent amount of magic but if I am ever able to go back, I would stay at the rental on the patio overlooking the Caribbean all day every day! Perfect place with perfect hosts. Thanks, Skip and Sharon

Did not disappoint!!

This place was absolutely amazing! The house, the beach, all of it was just perfect. Through the whole process from booking to leaving Sharon and Skip made it so nice. Skip was so hospitable. Felt like we have known him for years. Sharon wasn’t there for other reasons but I’m sure if she was we would have hit it off as well. And when they tell you all you need is your swim suit and a few outfits….believe them. They have everything you could possibly need at the house. I only hope we make this a regular trip. Definitely want to go back…..today please. 😊

Brilliant

What can I say that has not already been said about this place!? The Barefoot Beach House, Sharon and Skip, and Eleuthera are all wonderful. My family stayed for 10 nights and we had a very comfortable, enjoyable, scenic, relaxing, convenient, tasty, fun filled vacation. Our teenage boys had a blast snorkelling, skimboarding and making sand castles at every beach we visited. We thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of our 'island cruiser' as it allowed us to explore the many beaches, sites, and shops on Eleuthera. We truly enjoyed slowing down, focusing on what matters, and eating simple wholesome foods. All the best, Skip and Sharon! We hope to return sooner than later.

What an amazing property!

Gorgeous location, beautiful property and friendly host! We could have spent our whole vacation at the house! Mornings and evenings were spent on the patio days in the water or lying on the beach! Tons of beach toys and kayaks and boats to use. The house was super cool and can be opened for 1 bedroom 2 or 3 bedrooms. We used 2 bedrooms and it was perfect for us! Great kitchen with all the utensils and pans you would need. Make sure you stop at Island Farm on the way in for chips and homemade salsa and cheese dip! Skip was a fabulous host who had great recommendations and island insights. Always there when we needed him but super respectful of our privacy. We would go back and stay with them in a heartbeat if we return to the island. Great location in Central Eleuthera for day trips up south and down north

An Amazing Beach House on a Gorgeous Beach!

We loved everything about this property. My husband, seven-year old son, and I spent just under a week at the Barefoot Beach House and I would have gladly stayed for a full month. This was easily one of the most relaxing, well-appointed, and beautifully situated properties we've ever experienced. I would recommend this highly for families or others looking to get away from it all and relax at the beach. The house itself had everything we needed. The kitchen has loads of utensils and equipment, making it easy to self-cater if you feel like staying in. The furnishings are great - very beachy! One of the best perks was all of the beach gear: snorkels, masks, fins, floats, beach chairs and an umbrella, a boogie board, and more. We used it daily and it made exploring Eleuthera's beaches that much more fun. Definitely rent a car (a must on the island!), btw! While we had big plans to hit up as many of the island's beaches as we could, we found it hard to tear ourselves away from the gorgeous one just steps from the beach house's back door. Better yet, Skip and Sharon have kayaks and a clear two-person kayak/canoe to take out in calm weather - so fun! There's also great snorkeling right there. It's hard to leave! Skip and Sharon were excellent hosts. They're available to help or answer questions, but I felt like we had full privacy. They also have a binder full of suggestions they've compiled in the beach house, which includes detailed descriptions and directions to some of their favorite local beaches. It was a great resource and we used it daily. Overall, this was one of the most relaxing trips we've taken. Eleuthera is gorgeous and this house was perfect. I'd debated staying at one of the small local resorts instead, since my son typically loves having a pool, but I'm so glad we went with Barefoot Beach House. The Caribbean Sea is mere steps from the door and the water is so warm and calm that it feels like a swimming pool - but with fish! We spent hours each day in the sea right outside of the house and all loved it. What's more, the location is an easy 15 minutes drive from Governor's Harbor and is a great midpoint from the island's northern and southern beaches, making it easy to explore Eleuthera. If we ever return to Eleuthera, we won't hesitate to book this property again. Highly, highly recommended.

Great Place To Stay

Just spent a week at the Barefoot Beach House for my honeymoon. Perfect centralized location on the island when looking from North to South. The house is just a few steps from the beach which you can't beat. Inside is clean and has everything you need for your stay, including towels, kitchen equipment and gas grill. There are beach chairs, snorkel gear, kayaks, etc. There are the 4 cays just offshore that are neat to kayak and snorkel around. Water is shallow and clear. Skip and Sharon are nice and leave you to privacy but they are there if you need them for anything. There are a few grocery stores in Governor's Harbour about 7-8 miles away. We flew down with frozen steaks, chicken and lunch meat per other reviews which turned out to be a great move as the grocery stores don't have the best inventory from a fresh meats standpoint. You can get fresh vegetables and plenty of dry food. There is a great pizza place 1/2 mile away Skip can call in an order for you to pick up and bring back if you don't want to eat there. We went to Tippy's for lunch a few days which is on the beach on the Atlantic side which was fun and Fish Bones a few miles south which was also nice. If you like fresh conch salad, you can't miss Sterling who makes it in his front yard in Governer's Harbour, a few houses down from the Buccaneer Club. If you are looking for a lot of nightlife or fancy places, this island is not for you. We didn't pack nice clothes as t-shirts were the norm. Rental car was old but that is what is expected down there. If you do like beaches, this island is as good as it gets. Most of the time you would see no more than 2-4 people on the beach as far as you could see. We took a trip to the southern tip and saw Lighthouse Beach which is spectacular, where the Atlantic and Caribbean side meet. The colors are unreal and the beaches are beautiful. You will need an SUV to get there as the last 7 plus miles are very rough unpaved roads and you will need the clearance. It probable takes 1.5 hours door to door from the Barefoot Beach house. Don't miss it if you have the time and an SUV (you don't need 4 wheel drive). We flew into North Eleuthera Airport as it was a little cheaper than Governors Harbour Airport. The drive was about an hour south. On the way out, we ate lunch at the Glass Window Bar & Grill by the glass window bridge which is a neat dive. Can't wait to come back to Eleuthera.
