Hi!
Le Sable Rose has been the only place we have returned to 5 times in our many travels over 35+ years of marriage! It is a magical place! After leaving the airport we stock up on groceries and liquor in Governor's Harbour. We like the Texaco station grocery store and Burrows. As we are driving down the sandy road to Le Sable Rose we are always very excited and emotional because of the many happy memories we have had there. It is where we come to relax and rejuvenate in complete privacy. The house is perfect for the two of us! It is spotless when we walk in because Natasha the Housekeeper and her family are AMAZING! They are like family to us now. She has made us some wonderful meals like Lobster Salad and Grouper. The deck has a picnic table that we love to eat out on to catch the gorgeous sunsets. We were happy to see two new lawn chairs last year to sun bathe on the deck and back patio. Three steps off the deck you step immediately into the white sandy beach. Twenty yards out is the clear blue Atlantic ocean that we can not wait to jump into as soon as we arrive. Right in back of the house is great snorkeling. We have seen many colorful fish, a 4ft. Tarpon, Rays, and two Lobsters in the lagoon area. The house is very secluded and has glass sliding doors all around it for amazing views! We hardly ever see anyone walking the beach the entire time! Make sure you take a flashlight and walk the beach at night. You will never see stars like this! Some restaurants we love to eat at are Dolce Vita, Cigatoo in Governor's Harbour (try the Bahamian fish stew for breakfast, yes for BREAKFAST) We love their fried Grouper there too and they have the BEST Key Lime Pie you'll ever have. Other great restaurants are: Sunset, Mate and Jenny's, Buckaneer, Tippy's (get a reservation here), and of course Captain Jack's for a great outdoor bar and wonderful food. It has a band playing some nights. Natasha may be there too! We use to get in the rental car and take off for the day, but now we like to stay right at Le Sable Rose! If you want to get away some suggestions are: so many beautiful beaches (pick up a copy of Elusive Beaches of Eleuthera at any gift shop), Harbour Island is very busy with tourists but worth a drive/ferry once, Bannerman Town Lighthouse (a bit of a drive south), Ocean Hole, Muriel's right in North Palmetto Point has yummy breads, pies, and tarts. The people of Eleuthera are so friendly. We LOVE our Le Sable Rose!
