About this property

Totally Secluded 40-Acre Beachfront Estate, Private Beach

The calmest of beaches in Eleuthera are on the Caribbean side of the island. With a southwest exposure, you will experience some of the most incredible sunsets in the world. This unique location offers you over 1,500 feet of beach front to enjoy. It is nestled between two small rocky point peninsulas, creating a very calm and private atmosphere, alluring you to make this your lifetime vacation home, as it has for many others.

This completely furnished home was completely renovated in 2010/2011 and no expense has been spared.

Amenities include AC in all rooms, wifi, satellite TV, DVD player, CD player, video library, music library, washer/dryer, back-up generator, and three sea kayaks (two single and one tandem).

Pau Pau Bay was named many years ago, upon the discovery of the land's abundance in vegetation. Among the many fruits, there are pau pau (papayas), coconuts, and pineapples. Directly in front of the beach are the Pineapple Cays, four islands that offer a great anchorage and protection on windy days. Pau Pau Bay is home for an astonishingly diverse collection of sea creatures living in just 3 to 9 feet of water...

The town of Governors Harbour, less than 10 minutes away, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is completely safe any time of the day or night. Enjoy the rare experience of picking up hitch-hikers and leaving your keys in the car wherever you go. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for excursions of various types. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore. We hope you will enjoy Pau Pau Beach Estate, and experience all our island has to offer.

Pau Pau Delight
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved our stay at Pau Pau Estate. It is a special property with a lovely, spacious house. The beach front and bay is amazing. House does need updated beach chairs. We usually like to have portable beach chairs to take to the wonderful Eleuthera beaches. The chairs at the house are plastic solid type that were all cracked and needed replacing. It's our understanding that the cistern water did not have purification systems so we purchased bottled water (about 1 gallon per person per day). Really enjoyed the kayaks. One of the kayaks leaked significantly and luckily the person that took that kayak out made it back to the house. Lots of steps, not all to International building code. The two levels of the back deck had a 12 inch high riser.

Lovely Home; Needs a working Generator
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a very lovely home with plenty of space for our family and lots of supplies. We loved the beach, the shallow, calm, warm water, and the phenomenal snorkeling near the nearby islands. The house was clean and pleasant. The problem was that the power went off on at least 3 of the 7 days we were there for hours at a time, disabling all electricity including the water pump. Unfortunately, the generator was not working which made for a tense time with us worrying about having no water, toilets, etc. for an undetermined amount of time. The management company was professional, but there wasn't much they could do. It made a vacation that could have been heavenly more stressful than it should have been. If the generator is fixed, I would definitely recommend this home.

Great house, incredible beach!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was clean and well equipped. Beach, snorkeling and time on the water was super as no travel required. We enjoyed a good fire in the fire pit and some fruit from one of the trees. Daniel, the caretaker, was responsive and stopped by to say hello and see if we needed anything. Thank you!
