About this property

Welcome to The Villa at Island Breeze - an ideal romantic hideaway for a peaceful island vacation. This two bedroom, two bath Bahamas beach house is located on the Atlantic side of Eleuthera near the quaint settlement of North Palmetto Point. Steps away from the front door is your own private dune deck overlooking a private white and pink sand beach. Enjoy snorkeling and swimming in the calm turquoise waters teeming with coral reefs and vibrant tropical fish. Or explore the beach for an assortment of exotic shells, sea glass, and the elusive sea beans that float over from Africa and are rumored to bring good luck to their finder. The Villa boasts a spacious back deck with a dining table and propane bar-b-que grill where you can spend time relaxing watching the herons, egrets, and osprey frolic in a salt water lake as the sun sets over the island.

A fully equipped kitchen awaits you along with all the comforts you would expect in your own vacation home. The Villa is fully air-conditioned with ceiling fans throughout, comfortable furniture, two full baths and an outside shower.

The Master bath has an oversized shower and huge soaking tub. Both bedrooms, with king sized beds, are on the front of the house where the sound of the surf will lull you to sleep. Linens, bath and beach towels, beach chairs, shampoo and body wash are all provided. Safe is located in the Master bedroom.

Could Not Have Been Better!

We are so happy we decided to stay here! The villa was much larger than the pictures, it was very private, quiet, clean, sunny with a fantastic view, and we felt safe there. The kitchen was well equipped and all of the furniture and beds were very comfortable. There were even beach chairs, a cooler, and snorkeling equipment. The weather was in the mid 70s during the day and we didn't use the air conditioning as there was a nice breeze at all times. We especially enjoyed our walks on the beach and spending time on the deck across the street on the ocean. We recommend nearby Eleuthera Island Farm, which had a great variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and fresh baked breads. Anne was super responsive to all of our needs. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

The property was absolutely perfect… probably one of the cleanest rental homes we have ever visited. Everything you need and more is located at the home, we could not believe how every single detail was thought of and provided. The property managers are extremely responsive and will do anything possible to make sure your stay is as pleasant as possible. Great location, great home, can’t wait to return next year.

Outstanding location, spacious and perfectly stocked, better than the pictures could convey.

We've rented many homes on the island and this was probably our favorite for a family of 4. The locations is perfectly private and it is the most well-appointed home we've been in. It's really spacious for a two bedroom, with great porch seating options and hammocks, a deck overlooking the beach, 5 beach chairs, a gas grill on the back deck and a kitchen with everything a cook could possibly need all laid out in a very organized manner. The beds are the most comfortable we've ever had in a rental and everything in the home worked perfectly. It even has a bose bluetooth speaker for island tunes. There are lots of DVDs and books for rainy days too. We couldn't recommend it enough.

Great Property

I normally do not leave reviews, however I felt this property was worth the time. It was really more than I expected. The property was FULLY equipped with everything we needed. We cooked a lot on this vacation and the kitchen was comfortable to do so. The bed could be updated a little. We had to work on it a bit because the rails was broken. Not a huge problem though. I would highly recommend.

Awesome Home!

Island Breeze is definitely a slice of paradise. The house is spacious, beautiful, fully stocked and the views are incomparable. We loved everything about this home and literally couldn't have asked for more. I didn't love driving down the dirt road everyday and it was windy the entire week but those are the only complaints. Too bad the weather is unpredictable. The house was actually better than the pics. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch listening to the waves, taking walk along the beach and star gazing at night. A few things to note: Follow the instructions to the house to a T, we got lost. We didn't like the grocery store that was recommended. There's another one in Governors that is a little bigger. There's also one on the way to town from North Eleuthera just past Rainbow Bay (something Rock). Ten Bay Beach is amazing and is super close for a beach on the Carribean side. Tippy's restaurant is awesome but since it was so windy our trip we couldn't eat outside. The wind was coming from the east so the other side of the island was much better. We also ate at the Buchaneer Club a couple of times and it was very good. Fishbones was good also. You will be traveling on dirt roads quite a bit-didn't expect that but you don't need a big car. Actually a small car was better for the narrow roads and better gas mileage. If I had to do it again I would've flown into Governor's Harbor airport. Rainbow Bay beach was also a favorite. We took a trip to Harbor Island but it was just okay. If you are coming to Eleuthera to relax, this home is the place for you. Enjoy!

Amazing amazing amazing. The location can't be beat, steps away from a magnificent secluded beach. The snorkelling is awesome, with coral heads extending from the beach in 3 foot of water to over 30 feet. The house is wonderful, and is equipped with anything you could possibly need. The wifi is spotty but the cell signal is strong for emails etc. The locals are SO unbelievably friendly and helpful. We will definitely be visiting again

Beautiful property.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Island Breeze Villa. The house is well equipped with everything you need. The soft-side cooler was great for packing lunches and the kitchen was well equipped for any time we wanted to stay home to eat. The beachfront and views were amazing. Amy at VRBO and Anne our property manager were both tremendously helpful throughout the rental process and stay. Would definitely return.

Pleasant stay

March 2019 Pros: Very comfortable house, good layout for privacy, luxurious master bathroom, well equipped gourmet kitchen with everything for cooking and serving. Great views from the front and back of the house and dune deck across the sandy road. Good bird watching. Scenic beach walking. Enjoyed my stay. Quiet and private. Welcoming and responsive property manager. Cons:The back of the house faces a marsh that emits a sulfur (rotten egg) smell. It was not a problem when there was stiff onshore breeze. When the wind was light the smell prevented me from sitting on the back deck. The BBQ grill didn't work, but a new part was ordered. Bring bug spray, its an island problem.

Jan-Feb visit to Eleuthera

The villa at Island Breeze was a perfect retreat from the brutal winter that we have been experiencing here in the northeast US. The house is located on an unnamed, dirt road a mile or 2 south of N.Palmetto Point and is just as portrayed in the ad. Comfortable bedrooms with ensuite baths, fully equipped kitchen, convenient TV room (with DishTV) which worked well for viewing the Super Bowl, and numerous outdoor spaces to get into or out of the weather. The beach is spectacular with plenty of snorkeling opportunities right offshore. Morning walks were great & you can walk 3 miles south without having to cross any rocky stretches & at this time of year it was almost devoid of people. Those are the positives, the negatives of travelling at this time of year are the very short days, the lower temperatures & cooler winds. I am not really complaining because it was sub-zero temps at home. There are good grocery stores in Governors Harbor, an excellent wine/liquor store on Cupids Cay & do stop in at the Island Farm. Buccaneer's, 1648 @ French Leave & Tippys for dinners. Went to Harbor Island on a rainy day (wasn't impressed). Overall we thoroughly enjoyed IslandBreeze & would love to return as soon as possible. Note to the owners: If there is a rainwater cistern collection system, (which there appears to be), there is a disconnected joint in the gutter system to the left side as you look at the house. just fyi.

Wonderful stay and first visit to Eleuthera

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Island Breeze villa at the end of April. This was our first visit to Eleuthera. The villa location was great, close to Governor's Harbour but also allowed easy access to the southern areas of the island (Tarpum Bay, Savannah Sound, etc.). We flew into ELH and it was right under a 1.5 hour drive to the villa. This is a very comfortable villa, very homey and well thought out. We enjoyed the comfortable patio furniture outside, and appreciated all the covered areas that offered protection from rain and sun. We enjoyed sitting outside in the morning, enjoying coffee, and in the evenings, enjoying adult beverages. The pictures are very accurate representations of the villa. If anything, we found the villa to be even larger and more spacious than pictured. The proximity to the beach is amazing, and the VIEWS!!! Wow, the views! We were able to get an umbrella (provided) out on the beach deck so we could sit and enjoy the full views while protected from the sun. I also enjoyed getting up early to enjoy sunrise from the beach deck. The AC in the bedrooms, living, and kitchen area worked well, and the villa also has plenty of ceiling fans to keep things cool and comfortable. The master bath/bedroom is extremely nice and roomy, with a very comfortable bed. The kitchen is also amazing--very well stocked. We made breakfast each morning at the villa, and enjoyed a few lunches and dinners in as well. If you like to cook, you will love this kitchen! We made good use out of the freezer packs to pack a cooler for beach days. Be sure to visit Island Farms (not far from the house) for fresh produce, breads (Tues/Fri), and other fresh items to compliment or make a meal. We picked up pizza one night from Mate & Jenny's (so-so), as well as BBQ from 3J's Jerk Pit, both are close to the home. Tippy's is not far either. 1648 was by far our favorite restaurant on the island (two dinners there!). We were lucky to have strong breezes the first several days, which kept all the bugs away. Once the breezes died down, there was a significant increase in flies, mosquitoes, etc. so be sure to bring the bug spray (no different than other Caribbean locations). This is an amazing villa and we would not hesitate to stay here again!!
