Photos and Description of the Governor's Harbour vacation house rental 3BR, 3bath. Sleeps 6. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious living, dining and deck

Enter our spacious waterfront home and be greeted with a spectacular view. The glass walled 35' great room with vaulted cedar ceiling opens to a huge deck. The deck is part sun/part shade and sits high above the water overlooking a deserted island. The sunsets are an event, whether you are sitting in a chair, lying in the hammock, or on the waterfront. You might see the green flash. The teak dining table seats eight comfortably. The living area seats nine. Local art decorates the walls. The overall impression is one of space, peace, and primary colors. The master bedroom suite features magnificent views. The house is situated on two fenced private acres with fruit trees. Guests are invited to enjoy the oranges, limes and mangoes when in season. World famous Club Med Beach is a mile away; as is Governor's Harbour with it's charming Victorian houses, varied restaurants, library and movie theater.

On Balara Bay, known for bone fishing, Highpoint looks West to magnificent sunsets. Snorkel from the property to view a huge selection of angelfish as well as many other sea creatures. One of our guests had a porpoise swimming beside her. Birds on our property range from tiny hummingbirds to the stalking limpkin. Fish bearing osprey, frigate birds,egrets, owls and doves are all to be seen and heard. You are 5 minutes from scenic, historic Governor's Harbour with Cupid's Cay and the Friday night fish fry. Try fishing yourself off the dock or with a guide. We also have 2 underwater fishing spears.Nearby beaches have the famous pink sand. Spanish Wells and Harbour Island are a day trip away to the North including a water taxi ride. View wild horses to the South as well as visit the ocean hole and the famous golf course at Cotton Bay. Don't forget to visit the charming fishing village of Tarpum Bay. Everywhere find deserted beaches. Bahamians are extremely welcoming.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Governor's Harbour, Bahamas

Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, diving, and fishing just a short walk down the hill to the ocean -- where the depth is ten to 12 feet. The ocean is your pool. Swim ladders give you easy access in and out. There is a large waterfront sun deck on the coral for sun worshippers. You can have a fishing guide pick you up at your own boat dock. Or you can bring your own boat and tie up to the dock which has 3 pilings against the coral and 2 pilings about 16 feet out for spring lines. There are two outside showers. Eleuthera is approximately 100 miles long, so there is lots to see including dozens of deserted beaches. Lighthouse Beach has been included on one of the lists of the ten best beaches. Beachcombing everywhere is the best! The busy communities of Spanish Wells and Harbour Island are a fun day trip, including a water taxi ride. The Bahamians are very welcoming.

We leave maps at the house showing you where good snorkeling and shelling beaches are. They are also annotated with the locations of restaurants. There is a sizable natural history library including books on fish, shells, birds, butterflies and moths.

'In entering this house you do possess it. Peace and heart's greeting' This was a saying over the mantle at my Aunt's beach house on Cape Cod. I loved going there. We enjoyed the house. We used it. We respected it. I hope you will treat my house as you would that of your favorite aunt. Enjoy it, use it, respect it.

Other Activities: bird watching
