North Palmetto Point Cottage | Private 12 Acre Beachfront Home on a World Renowned Pink Sand Beach

2 Bedroom Cottage in North Palmetto Point, Governors Harbour

Rocks Retreat is a privately owned beachfront estate with 335 feet of Atlantic Ocean frontage on 12 secluded acres. It is located along the 'Gold Coast' of Eleuthera on the Banks Road. It consists of 2 cottages, which are connected by a tiled patio. Both cottages are always included when you rent the property. It provides excellent value as a private, secluded, direct-beachfront estate in the prime Governors Harbour location.
The Main Cottage is a 24 x 24 two story structure with a broad wrap around veranda. The entire upstairs is one enormous bedroom with two queen beds and a single bed. It has wonderful ocean views from its many windows and two lovely balconies, providing cool breezes. The downstairs of the Main Cottage is a large great room with a full kitchen, dining room, and living area. The sole bathroom of the Main Cottage is on the first floor. It is a small bathroom and includes a tile shower. The kitchen area is small but adequate, and has been newly remodeled. There is also an outdoor shower on the veranda, which we recommend using.
The Master Suite Cottage is a one story spacious en suite king bedroom. It includes a sitting area, desk workspace, a double sink bathroom with a tub and separate tile shower. There is a nice veranda in the front and also a second outdoor shower.
Rocks Retreat is set back 100 yards from the ocean and includes the spectacular Culmer's Rocks that separates the north from the south beach. We have private access to both world renowned pink sand beaches, which are typically deserted. The estate is made up of primarily palmettos, with stately palm trees and other landscaping. The grounds are maintained by our gardener. You have 12 acres all to yourself!
Amenities include WIFI, air conditioning on the second level of the Main Cottage and first floor of the Master Suite Cottage, washer/dryer, and Sonos speakers. You can use the WIFI to stream movies and shows on our two TVs in the Main Cottage. We also have beach chairs and a cooler for guest use.
Pet's are considered at Rocks Retreat. There is a $75 pet fee and a $500 security deposit for guests who bring pets.
If you haven't been to Eleuthera, you will need to understand that on occasion, the Bahamas power or water service will go out for periods of time. We have a backup well that can be turned on if there is a long delay. We do not have a generator. This is just part of island life.
For longer term renters, our housekeeper will clean every two weeks and remove the garbage. If you prefer more frequency, you can arrange prior to, or upon arrival with Marsha Clark our housekeeper and cover the additional costs directly.
Rocks Retreat is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour. Famous Tippy's restaurant is just a mile away. The town of Governors Harbour is a 5 minute drive. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, two bakeries, gift shops, and a dive shop. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster from fishermen at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won't want to miss it.

Summary: Had an absolutely amazing stay at this gem of a property! I thought it might be too good to be true when I booked the trip, but the property actually exceeded all of my expectations! The two cottages are beautiful and the location is both completely private, and yet easily accessible. I was sad to leave, and hope to go back someday to this little slice of paradise!

Summary: Had a wonderful vacation…the property is very well taken care of and definitely on one of the best beaches on the island for walking/swimming etc. Kind of a magical place at nite with the houses located back in the palm trees. And definitely a pink sand beach all to yourself. Thanxs for sharing your wonderful home.

Summary: Last minute broken wrist caused us to have to stay home. Owners would not exchange or give us credit for a different date, which was a disappointment. Get the insurance if you want to book here, no exceptions.

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: We enjoyed everything about this home! We particularly loved the two different buildings.The grounds were beautifully kept, and it is located directly on an amazing beach location. The home was set back a little from the ocean- it was private and very peaceful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals at home. We hope to stay here again next year.

Most days we had this beach & many others to ourselves. Rental company and caretaker were extremely helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

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: Love this house so much!!! Rocks Retreat is amazing! I’ve been coming to Eleuthera 11 years and stayed all over the island. I think the location is perfect. It’s close to Governors for restaurants and grocery shopping, and between Tippy’s and La Bougainville so convenient for dinners out or a beachside lunch. It’s easy to fly into GHB airport. The house is incredibly private because the acreage and sits directly on the most beautiful beach. It feels close to nature. There is a Venus pond right in front of the house that’s created by the rocks and tide. The home has peekaboo views of the ocean and you can hear the waves. Because it doesn’t sit directly ocean front it’s more protected from the wind and other elements we found this really relaxing. The floorplan and layout is a little unusual, but not uncommon for Bahamas cottages. The description is accurate. There is a house with kitchen, dining, living room and bunk room on the second floor. It feels more like a cabin. The master is a separate structure and was incredibly comfortable. The layout is a king bed with small sitting room. The bed is awesome and very comfortable. Going between the main house and primary suite is a little strange, but not a big deal. We loved this house and can’t wait to book again. Don’t think twice stay here!

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The location is really good with lots of space and a 5 minute walk to the secluded beach. The property is well stocked and has everything you could need. The only downside was that there were a lot of wasps, and also mosquitoes inside the big house, so I would recommend better fumigation / pest control. There were also some blinds missing in the upstairs room and some maintenance is needed. Overall, we liked it and had a good time.

It is in a great location close to town, and the beach is one of the most beautiful we’ve had on the island. The house has modern updated furniture with comfortable beds. It’s very clean, air conditioning works well and had everything needed for cooking our own meals. Lots of space for lounging around and we loved the beach chairs, umbrella and floaters! The walk to the beach through a beautiful private path was short and really nice.Marsha the home manager was always quick to respond to our questions and came right away on the one occasion that something didn’t work. We would definitely stay there again!
