Governor's Harbour House | CaresAway Ocean-Front Home-luxury family living

3 Bedroom House in Governor's Harbour, Governors Harbour

Beautiful home on spectacular pink-sand beach. Over 3000 square feet under roof, including 850 square feet of shaded porches overlooking the ocean. Breathtaking views. Inside, three bedrooms surround open-plan living area. Two queen bedrooms with ocean views on two sides. Third bedroom opens onto sun deck overlooking beautiful garden area. Fantastic great room provides 400 square feet of living space with views to ocean on three sides. Two seating areas, one facing ocean and other oriented toward entertainment center—all under vaulted cypress ceiling and wooden ceiling fans. Plush sofas, rattan occasional chairs, and double chair with ottoman provide comfortable spots for reading, listening to music, watching a movie, or just gazing out at the ocean. Spacious dining room, kitchen completely equipped for family living, and full laundry room.
Two screened porches provide protected outside living. And best of all, a spacious deck sits atop dune with commanding views of the beach and ocean.
Great Beach and Water: The pink sand beaches and clear waters of Eleuthera are world famous, and the beach at CaresAway is among the best on the island. The broad, gently sloping beach is a great play area for even young children. Nearby reefs provide walk-in snorkeling and diving opportunities. Hard packed sand is perfect for long walks.
If you would like to look at Google Earth to see the environs of the house, these are the coordinates: 25* 15' 34.77N by 76* 17' 59.50W. You will notice that the sandy beach in front of the house goes out quite a distance into the water for wonderful wading and swimming. This lovely beach is almost encircled by coral reefs, some so shallow that even small children can don a mask and see some lovely little fishies.
Casual Elegance: The house is beautifully decorated inside and out. We particularly enjoy:
• Outdoor dining set and lots of comfy porch furniture
• Unique wooden ceiling fans in every room
• Overstuffed upholstered great room furniture
* Island stylewooden blinds
• Large entertainment center with TV, DVD/CD, blue tooth speaker for your own devices, lots of movie classics, games, and good books
* Shaded sea-grape grove overlooking ocean includes large deck atop dune with steps down to the beach
Governors Harbour: The historic Bahamian settlement of Governor’s Harbour is a short drive from the house. As its name implies, the harbor is the focal point of the town. Freight and passenger docks occupy the end of Cupid’s Key. A 19th century library with internet room sits on the tree-lined street that hugs the harbor wall, and Victorian houses overlook the sea. Small shops and restaurants provide most anything you may need and a chance to enjoy conch salad, fresh grouper, peas-and-rice—or just a hamburger. Night life centers around The Buccaneer, Tippy’s or 1648 seaside bars and restaurants. Consult our Elusive Beaches of Eleuthera book and explore multiple beautiful beaches within minutes of our house. Or make a day trip to Harbour Island or Spanish Wells and rent a golf cart to explore two locely but very different villages. Or head south to Lighthouse beach, where cruise ships drop off passengers for a few hours at the beach--but you can spend all the time you want!

Summary: There are pros and cons to this property. We left this rental after a few days once we found another place to stay. Pros: A/C worked great. Nice washer/dryer, beautiful beach. Cons: property is just not being maintained. Rips in the screens, so bugs easily enter. Deck at the dune over looking the water is rotted in many places. Sea-grape trees are way overgrown, you have to duck and watch your step to get to the deck. All but 2 of the beach towels were frayed. Sheets very old. Outdoor cushions all old and mildewed. The property was musty and smelled like we were in an antique shop. Old dead bugs left under lamps and in corners. It could be great, but should not be rented until it gets some TLC.

Summary: What a lovely way to spend the Christmas holiday! Sallie is a wonderful owner who helped us coordinate grocery delivery as we arrived on Christmas day and knew the shops would be closed. Her caretaker was very helpful and responsive. We enjoyed waking up to the sound of the ocean, snorkeling the private beach, relaxing on the porch swing or hammock with a book and soaking up all that this beautiful island has to offer! The house was spacious and well-appointed, and the location can't be beat! Just minutes from GH town or an easy drive north to Gregory town, we would definitely stay here again! While we did lose internet on the third day of our trip, the house has plenty of VCR movies and board games to keep everyone entertained! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Summary: Cares away is lovely and beautifully stocked. It was roomy and had a classic indoor/outdoor feel and is perched on top of a bluff with great views. Would consider this for groups of multi generation or two families as well as the bedrooms are nicely spread out. There is room to serve meals both on the porch and indoors which can be hard to find. We really appreciated the host and her team who dealt with my several questions about island life and our travel limitations. We spent a week during a winter storm, so we weren’t able to do any snorkeling or swimming off our beach, but I suspect this was a very rare occurrence. I would say a few things as advice- you need to read about and understand the island, you must rent a car and be prepared to drive maybe 20-40 minutes to explore, call businesses ahead to check if they are open- often are run by one or two people and they need time off and have life events too!- just call ahead. Would bring some bug spray as with all islands and consider booking this property because of the AMPLE screened in space and window screens (made bugs a non issue for us). Then, look at the pics of the stairs, the steps are solid, safe, slightly on the steep side and require about two steps on to uneven rock coming down to the beach. If I had very small children or very elderly guests, I would still bring them but just have someone else with them when taking those last two steps. Certainly I had no concerns about it with our party and the beach is so close to the house -when you come, you’ll just love it. Thank you so much to Sallie and her team for having us. I will 1000% book again and really enjoyed this area of the island, the overall easy going vibes, kind local people and raw nature. Trip of a lifetime even with storm clouds in the sky! Side note- if you get rained out like us, there are enough DVDs and board games to get even our three teens through periods of minimal wifi and cell service and stuck indoors- they all say “movies and games at night” were their favorite part of the visit!

Summary: Our family stayed here for Spring Break and we really enjoyed this home. The oceanside of the property is spectacular! It’s a private beach, really. The home is well appointed, we had everything we needed. We had a chef come in and prepare a Bahamian meal which was wonderful. The rooms were spacious, it was like being at home. This property was perfect for our family. Highly recommend for your stay in Eleuthera as the location is central on the island and easy to navigate to other areas.

Summary: We brought our children for their first visit to the Bahamas. Will stay here again for sure. Everything about the house is amazing. The ride to town is very short. Go eat at Tippy's and Bucaneer's. Very close to all tourist attractions and beaches. Reefs are amazing. The kids loved the paddle board and kayak while my husband and I relaxed on the beach. Sally is amazing. Very easy to get in touch with.

Summary: One of the best homes on maybe the best beach we've ever stayed at. This was a family spring break trip, including some friends our kids brought. Everyone was was wowed when they first arrived at the house, and was absolutely stunned at the beautiful scene just out back. The home is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. The grounds are beautiful. And the beach...oh man the beach. Perfect sand and beautiful waters stretching for miles. Good snorkeling straight off shore. And finally the hosts. It is clear that Sallie wants the absolute best stay possible for her guests. All the hosts we've dealt with on VRBO have been good, but she is hands-down the best. Can't say enough good things about how responsive and helpful she is. With Governor's Harbor nearby, you are close enough to everything you need, and far enough to have near total privacy. Don't miss the chance to stay here!

Summary: My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Cares Away and were very pleased with our stay at this beautiful property. We generally try to find vacation destinations with the best views in areas that are not heavily populated....Cares Away was the answer to both. When we weren't out touring the island, we spent our days enjoying gorgeous views of the water and viewing the horizon-to-horizon stars at night. I totally recommend this property for 1) its host (Sallie is great!), 2) beautifully decorated and fully outfitted house, extraordinary coral-abundant, 3) crystal blue water frontage, 4) easy access to Governors Harbor and 5) very private neighborhood.
