Governor's Harbour House | 10-Acre Beachfront Estate w/Htd Pool, Tennis & Pickleball Crt, Walk to Tippys

5 Bedroom House in Governor's Harbour, Governors Harbour

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 stunning, mile-long deserted pink-sand beach, manicured grounds surrounded by coconut palms, flowers, fruit trees, a private tennis court, and a large, spectacular new infinity-edge pool. (Pool can be heated at renter's option for a fee of $400/week.)
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. The buildings on the estate include:
1. THE GREAT HALL: This elegant colonial-style building, surrounded by a large, wrap-around porch with sweeping views of the estate, is the gathering place for fine dining, relaxation and entertaining. The Great Hall features a full kitchen and large dining area with seating for 12. The spacious living/entertainment area, elegantly furnished in old plantation style, includes a large flat-screen TV with thousands of channels, DVD movie library, books, & games. The Great Hall also has a breezy outdoor dining area with a gas grill, and a roof deck with ocean views. WE NOW HAVE SUPER-FAST STARLINK WIFI THROUGHOUT!
2. THE MAIN HOUSE: This lovely building (right across the little driveway from the Great Hall) features another large wrap-around porch with views of the tennis court and gardens. Inside are three bedrooms, each with a full en-suite bathroom and separate entrance from the porch. Two of the bedrooms have king beds. The third has twin beds with two additional trundle beds. The bedrooms in the main house do not connect internally, so you must walk out onto the wrap-around veranda to go from one bedroom to another. Keep this in mind if traveling with small children.
3. THE BEACH COTTAGES: These two romantic cottages with views of the ocean and pool have king bedrooms with full bathrooms, under-counter refrigerators, coffee makers, and outdoor seating areas with deck chairs. They are located 25 yards from the Main House and Great Hall.
4. THE TIKI HUT: This beachside, open-air shelter has shady seating under a thatched roof. The nearby Cabana has outdoor showers and a storage room housing beach chairs, and beach toys.
5. THE TENNIS PAVILION provides shady seating on white wicker furniture beside the tennis court. The pavilion is fully equipped with tennis rackets and balls. It also contains a laundry room with washer and dryer.
MORNING MAID SERVICE (every weekday except holidays) and on-site caretaker are complimentary at Tir Na N'og. A private chef can be arranged.
A VAST REEF just 300 meters offshore ensures idyllic kayaking and snorkeling conditions for anyone staying at Tir Na N'og. We have two kayaks and a stand up paddle board.
We have beach recliners and water loungers for those of us who prefer to spend the day taking in the sun. We also have a baby monitor, pack and play crib, and beach toys. We have recently installed super-fast Starlink internet and satellite TV.
THE FAMOUS BEACH RESTAURANT AND BAR Tippy's is just a 10-minute walk down the beach, and the new Potlatch Club's restaurant and bar only a 5-minute walk. The town of Governors Harbour, just 2 miles away, has restaurants, grocery and liquor stores, ATMs, gift shops, and Friday Night Fish Fry!
Rates are for up to 8 guests. Additional guests are $525 per week.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our week on Eleuthera!! The house was beyond perfect for our 2 families. The main house was the perfect gathering spots for meals and excursions but everyone had their own space. The house had great beach chairs, kayaks and toys for our use and the kitchen was well equipped with everything! Wish there was one extra our door couch to lunge on but that’s my only change:)

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The trip to Lura was the greatest vacation I have ever had. We had the most amazing time. The island is beautiful. The people are incredible and Tir Na Nog is a magical place to stay. I’ve never seen a more beautiful beach in my life and the fact that it is so secluded and there’s hardly any people on it yet you can walk to several places to have lunch or dinner is amazing. The decor is perfect. The design is spectacular. The service is fantastic and I felt like I was part of the local community. I’m already looking at dates to come back again and it will be my go to vacation place in the future.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: let me start with saying i LOVE i have used them many times and they are excellent. this property has the potential to be great but definetly needs some TLC like a lot of the homes on eleuthera....the weather is hard and renters are hard. A/C in the main room wasnt working, a/c in one bedroom works sometimes. two rooms had no working TV, other 3 rooms only had a DVD player with no working internet. one of the tvs had no wire connecting the dvd to the tv so was useless. most DVDs where scratched. they have starlink so the internet in main house was great if connected directly to it but repeaters to other rooms did not work. windows and doors throughout are broken, shower heads worked in some rooms but others barely worked. pool had no umbrellas like in the pictures, some toilets wouldnt flush without lifting off lid and pulling chain from inside. etc etc, just needs a lot of maintnance. and be aware this is a BIG property, even though its beachfront you mine and well pack up the car and drive down to the beach.....you cant see the beach from the house and its far enough away you cant even hear the waves, there is no ocean view except one small upper deck where you can sorta glimpse the ocean on the horizon. we still had a great time and the layout is great for four couples, the 5th room with two beds is not equal, if your spliting this place with couples id say there are 3 equal bedrooms and 1 almost equal. GREAT location. Maid christine cleaned very well every day and changed towels, she was excellent.

Summary: Nice Bahamian cottages & main house scattered about-Gorgeous beach-Loved the tennis/pickle ball Property is showing its age & needs some freshening up. We encountered some problems immediately & the property manager was M.I.A. There was no gas in the grill. We had bought large amounts of food to grill and didn’t have a functioning grill…took 2 days trying to contact anyone connected with this property to get a gas tank delivered. The property manager totally never responded the entire week. We finally found a gas company to fill the tank & we took the tank to the filling station. We paid the $50 to fill the tank. Then only to discover that the gas line on the grill was broken. Finally a plumber arrived on Day3 to repair a toilet that was broken & not usable…he repaired the grill to properly function. So a lot of time & headaches on our end to get these items repaired. Missing cabinet drawer on bookcase. Very thin bath towels. House needs a 5 gallon bottled water station, as water there is undrinkable. We had an immense amount of plastic water bottles & gallon jugs used daily. What a waste. Television in main house did not have any tv channels as listed. The day we left, the tv tech arrived to remedy that. All shower heads need a serious cleaning as mineral buildup is restricting water flow. Soak those heads In vinegar. Christine, the daily housekeeper, did a nice job of cleaning and we appreciated her help to try and remedy problems throughout the week.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Incredible family, 7 adults 4 children, vacation at Tir Na Nog, Eleuthera. The house, grounds and beach were all spectacular. Clean, well appointed and an ideal structural layout. I would highly recommend this property, especially for a large group. No negatives. We also employed the services of a local cooking duo, Brenda and Patrick. Their food, service and company added to our experience.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the expansiveness of the property perfect for 2 families with kids. Great location with a tennis court and infinity edge pool. The only downside was the daily power outages and some pest control issues in the kitchen area. All and all not a deal breaker just something we hope gets addressed before we rebook.
