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

Just down the path is the 600+ feet of your own glorious secluded beach. This is one of the most fabulous beaches anywhere in the Bahamas and it is nearly always empty. If you enjoy a bit of shade a tiki hut is built at the waters edge for your enjoyment. The compound is surrounded by very large properties -- all of which are privately owned. These homes are rarely used so there is true solitude and complete privacy. This home and most of the others are European owned. On occasion we have had well known people who said they were never even noticed as there were so few people on the beach the entire week. Your vacation here will be unforgettable. This is a wonderful rental for a family reunion, a group of friends, a small business conference or a privacy minded family or honeymoon couple. Please feel free to email us for more photos and our site information. Should you need to bring additional personal staff please inquire.

Ocean-lovers will find some of the best snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming in the world. Underwater visibility is up to 100 feet, with water temperatures ranging between 70 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The adventurous traveler can explore nearby islands and virgin coral reefs, or charter boats for world-class bone or deep-sea fishing. Other sports available on the island include tennis, SCUBA diving and surfing. The beaches here are truly spectacular.

Two weeks of R and R in a fabulous setting

Roberta C Syosset, New York
Review Submitted: January 14, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2008
We spent two glorious weeks just lazing around the pool and on the perfect pink sand beach and loved every moment. Tippy's restaurant was just a half mile down the beach and The Beach House Tapas Bar was also nearby so we had the best of both worlds, privacy for swimming and sunning and plenty of choices for meals when we did not chose to cook.Very nice and helpful staff and the house had all the accutraments we needed and more. We actually found that we spent much less than we usually do at a hotel and we enjoyed it more. The teenagers loved the proximity to town and the "Fish Fry" and the Moms were content to sit around the patios in the evenings with cocktails and let the guys grill the fish we bought at the dock in town. Heavenly that we all found our niches so everyone was happy. Not easy with three families with 4 teenagers and 3 smaller children. Perfect spot for us all.

Caribbean paradise

Review Submitted: January 13, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2009

homeowner-added comment:
Don't miss-out on this Caribbean paradise. Everything on the website is true… and more. Large groups or small… family or friends…young or old… sportsman or bookworm…Capricorn House is fun and relaxing for all. We walked the miles of pink, pristine beaches, snorkeled in the reef-protected, calm ocean waters, sunbathed by the freshwater pool, witnessed the brilliant sunrises and magnificent sunsets, and entertained under the incredible starlit skies. Discover this special place… You'll be back!

Loved Capricorn House

Review Submitted: January 13, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2007

homeowner-added comment:
Our group, 12 adults and two toddlers, had the most splendid
week at
Capricorn House. The grounds are large enough to accommodate
everyone (in
separate spaces or together), and the beach is isolated and
gorgeous. The
house is well appointed and well stocked with books, games,
spices, sun tan
lotion and bug spray, making it easy to move right in and feel
at home. It
was a hard place to leave and we're already working on coming back!

Wonderful family trip

Review Submitted: January 13, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2006
date entered: 09/05/2006

homeowner-added comment:
We brought our family to Capricorn House with high hopes for an exceptional holiday and left wanting to return again and again. Capricorn House bids you to relax and enjoy through its abundant amenities and serene, private surroundings. The property is expansive and lush with fruits and herbs and beautiful flowers. It easily hosts a large group with the perfect blend of communal space and privacy. The caretakers and staff discreetly ensured that we were never in want of anything. Walk on the beach, swim in the pool, grill freshly caught fish or lobster on the patio ... Capricorn House is a gorgeous retreat you will treasure
