Photos and Description of the North Palmetto Point vacation house rental
Quiet and Secluded 2BR/2BA Oceanfront Home

We are confident that if a quiet and secluded vacation is your goal, then Finiterre will not disappoint. Sugary, pink sand beaches stretch for miles in either direction and your footprints may be the only ones you see. Finiterre was completely renovated in October 2006.

Perched above the Atlantic Ocean on a 45 foot bluff, the views of the ever changing hues of the ocean are breathtaking. Relax on one of two decks which allow a 180 degree view of the beach and water. The house was completely renovated and has ceramic tile floors throughout. The all-new kitchen is centrally located with views of the ocean through the large great room. Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed and the second bedroom can be configured as two twins or a king size bed.

Beach walks during the day are breathtaking and beach walks under a full moon, are magical. Close in coral reefs are home to thousands of colorful fish and even the elusive spiny lobster.

Location: Bahamas

Nearest Airport : Governors Harbour (GHB) at 16 Miles

It is a beautiful 6 mile ride into Governors Harbour along the less traveled coastal road. A detailed set of maps are at the houses showing secondary roads, jeep tracks and secluded beaches if you want to pack a picnic and go exploring. There are many close in reefs in front of the house and a five minute walk in either direction takes you to more reefs that you can easily swim to from shore. The water is crystal clear and the fish are abundant. Soft, pink sand beaches stretch almost endlessly in either direction and it is rare that you see another person on the beach. The stars are extremely bright since Finiterre is not near any large communities. Sitting on either the upper or lower deck affords an amazing view of the heavens. Deep sea fishing or bone fishing guides can easily be arranged once you reach the island. Every month brings a new species of ocean swimming fish that cruise the shoreline just a few miles off.

Notes: Catch your own dinner or walk up the beach to Uniques restaurant. Skim over the reefs in the two man ocean kayak or the adventurous can paddle to a deserted island just down the coast. If you can be lulled into contentment by the tumbling surf of the Atlantic ocean, swimming in the crystal clear water, snorkeling with the colorful fishes, sipping cocktails on the deck, looking for beach treasures that have washed up, then consider Finiterre a small slice of heaven because it is there quietly waiting for you to enjoy. Special Note: Completed in February 2005, a new 1 Bedroom guest cottage is now available for rent with Finiterre if your group consists of over 4 adults. This charming cottage features an air-conditioned bedroom, large living area and complete kitchen. The single bathroom has a full size shower.

Further details for this vacation house rental in North Palmetto Point, Bahamas

Amenities:

The entire front of the cottage is a deck that is the perfect place to begin the day with a cup of coffee or end the day with a cocktail while looking out on the majestic Atlantic Ocean. Non-smoking house, new kitchen with dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, and microwave, air-conditioned bedrooms each with it's own en-suite bath, ceiling fans in every room, outdoor shower, Satellite TV with VCR, CD/Tape player, Internet Access, Gas barbecue, washer and dryer, bikes, ocean kayak, beach toys. Internet access available.

Activities:

Finiterre has two ocean kayaks available that you launch from the beach. They are easy to paddle for exploring up and down the shore, over the reefs, or out to a deserted island. Two new bikes will allow you to explore the land portion of the island. A day trip to Harbour Island will take you to the resort area off the northern tip of Eleuthera. The restaurants are plentiful and so are the tourist shops. You can even arrange to ride horses on the beach.

Area:

Eleuthera is one of the 'Family Islands' of the Bahamas. Many people arrive on the island not knowing what to expect. What you won't find are crowded beaches, large hotels, and vendors hawking their wares. We don't have overpriced tourist shops, trendy nightclubs and restaurants serving buffets to the masses. What you will find is quiet solitude, a few great tourist shops, small restaurants proud of the food they serve, friendly and helpful people, and a sense of peace almost forgotten. Please come to Eleuthera if you want an uncomplicated vacation that let's you relax. If you come expecting something other than a laid back lifestyle, then you will probably leave disappointed. We hope you come and experience Eleuthera.

WHAT A GREAT PLACE II

Review Submitted: May 1, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
I hate to do this but in reference to the last review, this place was great but I have to comment on a few issues with the owners. 2 weeks before we left I e-mailed the owners asking directions to the house - they never responded. I had to get the direction from the caretakers who live on Eleuthera. Also its been 3 months since we returned from our trip and I have e-mailed and sent letters to the owners multiple times asking to return our security check. I have yet to hear back from them. They did not cash the check so I had to put a stop payment on it . Very unprofessional and I would not deal with them again.

WHAT A GREAT PLACE

Review Submitted: February 14, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
This was our second time to Eleuthera and we will keep coming back. Finiterre has everything you need. It is clean and very well kept. The view is stunning from the back porch. The beach is great, you will be the only one on the beach. I can't say enough about how nice the house is. The caretakers Reta and Andrew take great care of this house. When we return to the island we will be staying at Finiterre.

Review Submitted: February 25, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
It’s hard not to sound repetitive this far along in the book, but here it goes. Our group comprised of two 25 year olds on reading week, two 30 year olds with a 2 year old in need of a holiday and tow 65 year olds enjoying their retirement and wondering how their kids could still be needing money for ice cream so many years down the line. Neeedless to say, Finiterre has met all of our various needs, from a well equipped kithcen, incredible maps, bikes, satellite cable to catch the Olympics in Vacouver, to beautiful grounds. Our highlights from our time here include being the only people at Whitelands beach, takeing the bikes down the road for an incredible snorkeling at Gut Island, and being first in line for fresh bread and cilantro pesto at the Island Farm on Friday morning. Thank you Andrew and Reta for your heartfelt hospitality, local lore and coconut 101 course (they were amazing). Our trip has ended but the memories will last. Cheers and thanks again!Tim & Dawn, Dan & Lindsay, Duncan & Janet Allen….CANADA

Review Submitted: December 10, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2009
What a stay! The weather, the house, the view, the beach, the fish, the snorkeling all were magical. We caught several fish right off the beach. Discovered Beach House Restaurant and Tapas Bar on the coast road and went there 5 times. Beautiful setting, great food and friendly staff and cute beach dog named “Patron”! Go exploring if you are adventurous and have a 4 wheel drive. Head down any road not marked as private or with a home name-beautiful beaches and vistas at the end of many. I don’t want to go home.

Goodbye Finiterre! We had a great week here. Explored the island from top to bottom. Really enjoyed Rainbow Bay, Club Med Beach, Preachers Cave beach and Twin Cove. It was comforting to know Andrew and Reta were only a phone call away - lovely people.
