About this property

NEW RENTAL! Elegant Hilltop Manor Home with Private Pool & Generator

A new arrival to the rental market, Buena Vista is the grande dame of Governor’s Harbour. Situated at the top of the hill from the harbour, it offers 360-degree views of the island from the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea to the deep blues of the Atlantic. This historic home has maintained all the charm of a bygone era when Eleuthera was the seat of the Bahamian parliament and Buena Vista the home of the Bahamian Governor. While exuding charm and elegance, it features all modern-day conveniences.

The main floor of Buena Vista boasts a large modern kitchen with a propane stove, modern appliances and an 8 foot island around which to gather for cocktail hour. The dining room flows from the kitchen and seats 8. Across the hall, the living room offers a perfect spot for curling up on the sofa to get lost in a book or watch tv. The main floor also has a full laundry room and a powder room.

The second floor of the house features 4 well-proportioned bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms. Three bedrooms contain King sized beds, and one has a Queen. An additional single roll-away bed can be provided for a 9th guest. From the second floor, you can access the wrap around shaded veranda. The veranda leads to stairs to the rooftop seating area providing breathtaking views of Central Eleuthera.

A recently added screened in room off the kitchen and swimming pool ensure that everything is in place to make unforgettable memories in this special landmark.

Amenities include AC throughout, WIFI Internet, beach towels, beach chairs, several cooler bags and a 50 quart hard cooler with wheels. At the guest’s option, the swimming pool can be heated for a fee of $350 per week. This property is conveniently located within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores, and the world-famous French Leave Beach and historic Cupid’s Cay.

Adjacent to the house is the charming Peach Cottage which features 2 fully independent 1-bedroom apartments each with their own kitchen and bathroom. Peach Cottage can be rented along with Buena Vista for larger gatherings.

The Amazing Buena Vista house

Wow, Buena Vista house exceeded our expectations in every way! The old governor's home has been completely renovated and updated. The spacious and modern bathrooms, large comfortable bedrooms with great views and well-stocked and updated kitchen. The screened-in porch, wrap around decks on two levels plus the "crow's nest" gave us lots of space to spread out. The pool with the big deck and plenty of outdoor seating was great to enjoy after a day at the beach. Dominic and Joy, the property managers, were always in touch with us to see if we needed anything. It was a short walk into Governor's Harbor, Buccaneer Club and to French Leave beach. It was the perfect location and the perfect house!

Perfectly located FINE home for extended family stay

Joy and Dom, rental managers, made staying in this perfect home a breeze! They were on site and easy to reach by text or call; they were hands down the most welcoming agents ever !. This rental was more than fully equipped with beach coolers, towels, chairs, and so much more ! The home was even nicer in person than described as it was on an idyllic street which was an easy walk to downtown GH. We spent so much family time in the lovely dining room and outdoor screened porches! The kitchen was the nicest we have ever experienced even down to the serving dishes and coffee mugs! The rooftop view is exquisite and both the Atlantic and “ Caribbean “ side can be seen! Our family of 8 was very comfortable ! Can’t wait to return !!
