Photos and Description of the Governor's Harbour vacation estate rental
5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms (sleeps max 10), 2 separate beach cottages offer privacy

Welcome to Tir Na N'og, “Land of the forever young”, a luxurious beachfront estate on 10 secluded acres of gardens and walkways. Tir Na Nog includes a spectacular private beach, manicured grounds surrounded by coconut palms, flowers, and fruit trees, and a private tennis court.

Tir Na No’g was built in 2007 by local carpenters and craftsmen under the vision of famed interior decorator David Flint Wood. Decorated in the elegant style of an old Caribbean plantation house, the four separate housing structures allow for bedroom privacy, along with group dining and socializing in the Great Hall and surrounding patios. The estate is rented to only one group at a time, and all structures are included in the weekly rate.

Tir Na Nog is situated in the most sought-after location on Eleuthera, the Atlantic seashore on the Banks Road, where a select number of estates overlook a beautiful pink-sand beach, only minutes from nearby restaurants... (Description continued at bottom of page.)

Heaven as close as it gets

Review Submitted: August 15, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
No second thoughts regarding this place!

The house, the surroundngs, the beach, the garden, yes everything is just awsome. Strangely enough, the size of the estate is probably the only issue - it is almost to big! Because of the size it takes some time to get from the house and down to the beach, but on the other hand you really get a feeling of exclusiveness.
The Beachhouse and the Cabanas were so nice to have - just lying in the hammock, overlooking the beach and the Atlantic ocean accompanied by a gentle breeze and with a soothing drink in your hand... I'm already wanting to get back!

The beach is the best you can get, and practically deserted. The snorkeling is also great; followed a ray for a long time, swimming along with a barracuda and just 50-100 m off the beach you have great corals to experience the immense variety and colorful sea life from.

The tennis court was great to have, but since we were here in July, we only used it in the mornings when the temperature wasn't to high. The main house was really nice, but personally I probably would have built the kitchen a bit bigger. It's a one-mans working space :)

The Sleeping houses were also of very high standard; the beach cottages overviewing the ocean were our favourites!

Of all places we have been vacationing throughout the last 25 years, this is highest on the list of the places we want to return to!

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Have been twice now, once with my two young boys and once with a group of friends. A visit to Tir Na Nog is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime - a real piece of heaven on earth. You wake up every morning to that picture perfect vista, with a vast expanse of tropical water as your swimming pool and an endless sandy beach as your personal playground. What could be more perfect. Definitely hope to get back again next year.

We were fortunate as to have stayed at Tir Na Nog
this past April and experienced the most perfect
vacation that a family could have asked for. Pure
natural beauty mixed with impeccable taste made
for an incredible experience. We hope to be able to
return again as our young children remember Tir
Na Nog as the place where we had "the best
vacation ever!" and their parents wholeheartedly
agree!

Review Submitted: June 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The property is the perfect place to unwind, relax and get away from it all. The interiors are the perfect combination of the functional and elegant colonial chic. It is the ideal place to re-charge your batteries.
Waking up in the bungalows and seeing the coastline marked by palm trees swaying in the cooling summer breeze - with the soothing sounds of the waves breaking on the shoreline -is the perfect start to the day.
leave your watch on the bed stand and stroll up to the main house and treat to yourself to a first class home made breakfast on the terrace overlooking the coconut groves.
A short 30 minute round trip (on foot!) is the deli - the ideal place to pick up your baguettes - what better to have for breakfast and to accompany your beach picnic? The store is a Godsend - as it has everything in its four walls - from souvenirs to grocery provisions, and if you are are missing your 'coffee to go' you can pick up one of these too!
The day has to be spent on the beach. Pack yourself all those novels you have vowed to read - and use the day to catch up on on your reading . The uninterrupted day should be punctuated with dips in the clear warm ocean and the occasional raids on the fridge for a light lunch.
with your tan suitably topped up and as the sun light begins to fade - head back and have a refreshing shower in the unique shower cubicle - standing on the pebbled floor. As the evening chorus of crickets commences, whip up a light dinner - in the galley - large enough for a 'all hands on deck' dinner - where your entire party can contribute to the meal. Then in the light of the league of hurricane lamps, and the sound of your favorite music in the background enjoy your meal; crack open the wine and savor the moment - paradise found!

Review Submitted: June 25, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
I have been to tir na n’og for the last three years and I hope to go every year. It is impossible to capture the beauty and serenity in pictures or words. To me, I look forward to completely unwinding and letting everything go. I bring two suitcases, the second filled with all my reading material. It is truly a special place in which you are swimming in the most beautiful turquoise crystal clear water staring at what looks like unlimited private beach. Not a hotel or high rise or anything unnatural in sight. I come with a few friends and this past time my friend and her husband and baby. The set up is perfect to enjoy coffee in the morning cocktails and grilling outdoors at night. You can comfortably pass in the wind, be at the beach leisurely, slip into a nap on the hammock, or hit the tennis courts for an anytime game. …..It is also the perfect venue for a big group having a blast. Hire the cook, going out to dinner, cocktail on the beach, etc.
