About this property

Spectacular Beachfront House w/Htd. Pool on Famous French Leave Beach

"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.

We stayed a week and were smitten with the island as well as this unique, authentic, charming home. Steps to the private beach. The pool was a plus. We loved being on Banks road close to everything we needed. We will be back!

My family had our best vacation yet at The Beach House! Such a comfortable house and Michele was extremely helpful. The beach is stunning and we spent most of our time snorkeling around the reefs right in front of the property. We didn’t want to leave!

Paradise

The property was just perfect for our group of 6. Although we cooked very little, everything we needed was already there. Plenty of dishes, pans and even quite a few spices/condiments. The pool is showing it's age and could use a little TLC, but other than that, everything was just as nice as we imagined by the pictures online. The beach is as perfect as they come and we enjoyed all of the floats, kayaks and chairs provided. We will totally stay at The Beach House again and highly recommend to anyone that is searching for the perfect vacation getaway!

Best Vacation Rental

Matt and Michele are both amazing and went above and beyond. The house was even better than expected. Our favorite house rental thus far. Great setup. Beautiful decorating and furniture and a fully stocked kitchen. We had the best time even though the weather wasn't awesome the house made up for it. We will be back!

Perfect location

The house was perfect for 6 friends staying a week. The house was beautiful and comfortable with the perfect Beach right after back door. The house was well stocked and Michelle the owner was the most gracious host. The Buccaneer restaurant right down the street has great food. Matthew the property manager was also very helpful and answered every email in a time like fashion. We will be back!

Best of both worlds

WE were pleasantly Surprised at the beautiful beach just off the deck! The house was perfect and fully stocked with everything we needed. Water and ice were also supplied by Michelle which was great! We really didn’t need to leave the house. Although we had some really Windy days we were able to snorkel later in the week. We’ve stayed in quite a few places but this one far outweighed the rest!

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.

I would buy this house

For 25 years, my family has stayed at a beautiful, private resort in the BVI. We counted the days from the moment we left until we’d return the next year. This year, new spouses and grandchildren made our group too big to go back, so we decided to rent a house on an island as quiet as the one we loved. We chose Eleuthera because few people lived there and it there’s been hardly any development. I had several requirements: authentic island decor; a prefect, pristine beach; resort amenities like beach chairs, a palapa, snorkel gear and kayaks. And last, a staff that would cook great food and make us feel at home. We got it all. Our host, Michelle, was fantastic in every way and made sure our two weeks were perfect. We had the same feeling at the end we had at our long-time resort: don’t make us go.

A Week in Paradise

We were a group of three couples, all active seniors in need of the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty and pace of Eleuthera. As soon as we arrived, after a frustrating trip from Nassau on unreliable puddlejump airline, we realized that it was all worth it. Everything was perfect. The interior of the Beach House had everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of towels and beach towels, and the kitchen well was provisioned. Outside, by the pool there are sun areas, areas to dine and a wonderful shaded area with 2 large built in sofas. Just feet away, down the steps past the outdoor shower with hot and cold water, is the short path to the most magnificent beach. There is a thatched shade area with 6 reclining chaises that look out onto the water. Walks on the beach, swimming, reading and naps in the shaded pavilion were the best cure for a long winter in the Northeast. If only we could have stayed and avoided the return to ice and snow! We would all love to return. The owner, Michelle, is gracious and we frequented her restaurant, The Buccaneer, several times. Highly recommend.

Beach House

We visited the Beach House in November for Thanksgiving week, we were a group of six and it did not disappoint. Aside from the incredible location with a private path to the beach that opened up to the most spectacular pristine beach, the house was perfect. It was spacious, clean and well appointed with everything that we could possibly need. We have visited Eleuthera quite a few times over the last five years and one of our favorite spots is the Buccaneer (the staff is always so friendly), just a short drive from the house we enjoyed breakfast, dinner and live music on our visit. They have added a nice gift shop, which has ice cream as well. Eleuthera is a beautiful island with the most beautiful beaches that we have ever seen. We love this island and the people are always wonderful friendly and kind. They have lots of great places to eat, we had Thanksgiving dinner at the 1640, Fishbones was a great spot and of course the Bougainvillea never disappoints. Make sure that you visit Normas gift shop, you will feel like you are with family when you walk through the door We have stayed in several homes on our visits and the Beachouse is a place that we will look forward to coming back to.

Beach House Bliss

This was our first visit to Eleuthera and it did not disappoint! The house is located on one of the most stunning beaches on the island with views to die for! The Beach House is well equipped and had everything we needed for a wonderful and relaxing stay. Great quality cookware and sharp knives were a lovely surprise as most rentals tend to lack in that area. Plenty of dinnerware and glassware etc. There is a 5 gallon water dispenser which was fantastic. Bedrooms were spacious and we found the beds super comfortable. Plenty of towels and extra linens if needed. The outdoor space was wonderful and lots of little spots to hang out in. There is a “covered patio” that provides shelter from the elements and is a great place to take nap, sip coffee or enjoy a cocktail. Recommend heating the pool in the “winter” months as the ocean can be cool and it’s a treat to warm up in the pool after a day in cooler waters. Plenty of lounge chairs, beach toys and “extras”! The No-See-Ums are NO joke. Bug spray is a must as well as long sleeves/pants at dusk/dawn. The house is newly equipped with a generator! Power did go out briefly and it was great having the generator kick on! Michelle is a fabulous hostess. She was extremely communicative and readily available when needed. They say “Eleuthera is not for everyone!”…. However, it definitely captured our hearts! It was hard leaving the island and we are already planning our return trip.
