About this property

Luxury 3BR Home with Private Pool, Rooftop Deck, & Backup Generator

The ground floor of Sweetcorn House is open and spacious, and features a large and sunny living area, ideal for entertaining. The great room has comfortable lounge seating for families, and a dining room table with seating for eight.

The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and features an island, with additional bar-chair seating. There is an adjacent powder room and laundry room, complete with washer and dryer.

There are two separate bedrooms on the ground floor, both with private en-suite bathrooms - one is a Queen room and the other, a spacious King Suite, with a mini kitchenette, coffee/tea making supplies and toaster, as well as a separate side entrance.

The top level of Sweetcorn House is devoted entirely to the master King bedroom Suite. This spacious suite features a sitting area, modern bathroom, two private balconies, and a sun deck with views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Sweetcorn House overlooks tropical, landscaped gardens with a private deck and swimming pool, and a casual outdoor dining area. There is a newly added screened in porch to the south of the house. At the guest's option, the pool can be heated for a fee of $300 per week. Beach/pool towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, snorkeling equipment and several cooler bags are provided for guests' use.

Other amenities at Sweetcorn House include ductless air conditioning throughout, large, flat-screen SMART TV, Wi-Fi Internet, land-line telephone, Bluetooth speaker, travel crib and high chair, and an outdoor gas grill.

Although Sweetcorn House is offered self-catered, housekeeping services, private chefs and provisioning, and other resources are always available for an additional charge.

This property is part of the distinguished Governor's Harbour Collection of properties and can be rented along with other homes to accommodate larger groups.

The town of Governors Harbour, a three-minute walk down the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit Haynes Library, which dates from 1897. Governor's Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, dive shop, and several gift stores.

A stroll downhill from the estate in the other direction leads to French Leave Beach, one of the finest beaches on the island and one of the great beaches of the Caribbean. By foot, it’s about 8 minutes to French Leave, a mile-long crescent of pink sand which is literally deserted most of the time. By golf cart, French Leave Beach is no more than 3 minutes from Sweetcorn House.

The island of Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore.

Phenomenal!!! A real find!
This property is a special find! We have done many vacation rentals, and this truly tops them all. We did not want to leave. Sweet Corn House is located in the village of Governor's Harbour at the top of the hill overlooking the Atlantic on one side and facing the Caribbean on the other. The house is beautiful, so well-appointed and so well maintained. It has every amenity coupled with comfortable beds and sumptuous living spaces. A lovely screened in porch for morning coffees. A stunning roof top deck with sweeping ocean views for afternoon glasses of wine! This is such a special house. And so close (walking distance) to beaches, restaurants and other amenities. A true home away from home. Property managers are communicative, attentive and top notch. We have already booked for next year! Phenomenal!

We absolutely loved this house!
The house was perfect for a family of 5. This house was comfortable after a long day at the beach. We cooked almost every day in the well equipped kitchen, slept comfortably, cooled off at the pool after dinner. Location was close to several beaches and restaurants. We highly recommend this house for your next vacation to Eleuthera.

Better than the pictures!
We stayed from June 9 - 16, 2022, and the property is even nicer than the pictures. They really think of every detail, and it is professionally decorated as well. The beds are all comfortable, air conditioning in every room, all appliances, including a professional blender, were in working order. The pool was perfect temperature, not too hot, even in the hot June summer months. You most definitely won't need to heat the pool at least in the summer. The distance to both the beach and town were just right to still give you a lot of privacy. We snorkeled at French Leave Beach, but didn't see a lot of fish. We also went to Cocoimama Beach (also called Receiver's Beach on Google), and that was beautiful. My husband and daughter went to Levy Plant Preserve, which they liked, but said it was rather hot (steamy), like being in 95 degree humid rain forest with the bugs that go along with it. All the restaurants we ate at were very good, but be prepared for food sticker shock both at the restaurants and at the grocery store. My husband and I have been blessed to travel a lot around the world, and we prefer homes or airbnd's, and this is the nicest one we have stayed in, EVER. It is a great value for what you will get in return. Don't pay too much attention to restaurant reviews, we almost didn't go to Tippy's and it was the best dinner we had. Travel with bug spray, you will need it just to walk outdoors everywhere you go, even at the restaurants. It has rained a lot this spring in Eleuthera and the mosquitos and flies are thick, the locals told us even more than normal this year. But the beauty of the island, the water, and this property so make up for it, you won't think much about them at all. We like to explore new places, but if we find ourselves back in Eleuthera, I would most definitely want to stay here again.

A Perfect Getaway
Sweetcorn was the perfect rental! It had everything you could possibly need. The property managers, Joy and Dom, happily and promptly answered any questions we had before arriving. Dom met us when we arrived and went over all of the information about the rental and town. A wonderful gift basket was waiting for us as well! The house came with everything, including plenty of beach towels and beach bags, as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and floats. We had the perfect vacation and look forward to returning to Eleuthera! I highly recommend Sweetcorn!

Fantastic Stay
This property was everything we hoped it would be and more. We arrived and received a fantastic tour. The kitchen had been stocked with some snacks and drinks. Our family, including older adults with disabilities and toddlers, were all very comfortable. As parents we really appreciated the fence and gate around the pool.. The nearby French Leave beach was outstanding. All in all, we could not have asked for more.

Amazing property! Amazing experience!
WOW – where to start?! This is an amazing property, in an amazing location with amazing property managers! We are absolutely in love with this place! I’ll start from the beginning. We arrived in Eleuthera under COVID lockdown and curfew restrictions on a Friday afternoon. Frazzled from travel stresses, we got to Sweet Corn House to find Joy and Dom had so kindly thought of everything. Knowing there was a weekend lockdown with no access to food stores or restaurants, Joy had stocked ample provisions for breakfast, lunch and dinner including homemade lasagnas and beer and wine. We literally just had to unpack and unwind. Even with the weekend curfew, we were able to happily chill by the pool, on the wraparound decks and – our favorite – on the rooftop deck off the second floor master suite. Heaven! The house is immaculate and so comfortable. It is beautifully furnished and generously stocked with pretty much anything we could want. Thoughtful little touches abound – shampoo, soap, hand sanitizer, beach bags and more! Such a lovely beach house! There is a little bar area off the bedroom closest to the pool deck where you can replenish a drink and fetch beer without having to traipse through the house. In the pool house we found snorkeling gear, pool floats, beach chairs and beach umbrellas. Everything we needed for either pool lounging or beach lounging. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with greenery all around. And everything is absolutely within walking distance which is awesome! It’s about an 8 minute walk to French Leave Beach which is probably the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. And we were almost always the only ones there. We usually walked to the beach as it’s a lovely, easy walk, and only used the golf cart when we needed to bring beach accoutrements and coolers. The house is also an 8 minute walk to the village of Governor’s Harbour where you have all the amenities you need. Buccaneer’s is a 5-minute walk down the hill and is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner and some traditional Bahamian drinks. We spent a lot of time there, lol. Dom and Joy are the most attentive and accommodating property managers we have ever encountered. They thought of everything and made us feel welcome and cared for. Thank you for making our stay so perfect! We have already booked our next stay. This was truly our most enjoyable vacation rental experience ever!

So many extras provided were greatly appreciated and unexpected - lasagna, a bottle of wine, a few beers and filtered water - made for a great first impression. Definitely a trip to remember and can’t wait to get back real soon! Thank you for the hospitality and amazing accommodations.

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: We had an amazing stay at Sweetcorn House. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to decompress from our hectic lives. Every minute was worth the 4600 kms we travelled to get there from Penticton, BC Canada. The hospitality that Kathy and her team provided during our stay was second to none. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped with all the essentials as well as many extra details. We loved the golf cart and the ease that it afforded us to pack up and spend a relaxing day at the beach. We spent the majority of time at the beach and relaxing at Sweetcorn. It was the perfect refuge at the end of glorious day of sun and sand. We hope to return someday and enjoy the beauty and the warm hospitality of Eleuthera. It is truly a paradise!

Good Property - Great Location
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: Sweet Corn house is a lovely home. We were six adults and it was so nice to have each bedroom with ensuite. House was in a very good location. It was easy to walk into town [going was easy, the hill coming back was a good work out]. The golf cart made it easy to get to the most wonderful beach [French Leave Beach] which was never busy. We also enjoyed Bucaneers, which is a nice little casual restaurant just half way down the hill to town. The management staff and Cathy [the owner] were just wonderful to deal with. They gave us good information about the island and tried to ensure our comfort and deal with any little things that cropped up very quickly. The chairs by the pool need some attention and Cathy says they are getting upgrades soon. There is only one issue we had and that was with the golf cart. The ad states that you can run into town with it and actually this is not the case as they do not allow golf carts in town. It was wonderful however to the beach. The ad needs to be modified. Enjoyed our stay very much.
