About this property

Brand New Banks Road Estate w/Heated Pool on Pink Sand Poponi Beach

Welcome to The Better Life and Cottage. This newly constructed home (will be completed April, 2024) offers a gorgeous heated pool with a gazebo. (There is a $50 per night fee to heat the pool.) It is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the most desirable location on the island. Better Life is a two-minute walk down a deeded path to spectacular pink-sand Poponi Beach, one of the most sought-after beaches on Eleuthera. There is excellent snorkeling right off our beach. Bring your snorkel gear!

A three-minute walk down that beach takes you to La Bougainvillea boutique resort with its excellent beachfront restaurant and bar. A four-minute drive takes you to Tippy's famous beachfront restaurant. Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just eight minutes away by car. Governors Harbour has restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, liquor stores, and a great fish fry every Friday night.

Better Life is reverse living at its best. Open floor plan upstairs with views of the Atlantic Ocean. There are two decks, one facing the pool and the other facing the ocean. Better Life features a great room with 15-foot ceilings, a spacious living area with a large sofa, comfortable for sleeping, but not a sleeper sofa, and a dining area with table seating for eight.

The kitchen boasts all stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops. There is also a quartz counter top Island that seats 4 with views of the Ocean. There is a powder room off the great room. The floors upstairs are all Avalon porcelain pier tile.

Step out on the deck that faces the pool and there is a stairway down to the pool deck and the barbecuing area beside it.
From the great room, descend the stairs to the lower living area.

This floor has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. There is a laundry closet with washer and dryer. Provided to make things a little easier while you are on vacation.

Off the hallway there are 4 bedrooms. The master offers an oversized closet with king size bed and a dresser with mirror and side tables and a TV. The flooring in the bedroom is also the Avalon Porcelain pier tile. As you walk into the gorgeous en suite master bath, the flooring is all Lenox Grey Porcelain. The shower has a beautiful glass mosaic design with Bianca polished walls tile. The shower floor has a nice Sahara sand matte porcelain finish. There are French doors off the bedroom to the front porch facing the ocean.

The first guest suite also features all Porcelain pier tile flooring. It enjoys its own en-suite full bath with the same detail as the master bathroom. This room has a queen bed with dresser and nightstand and mirror and a TV. There are also a set of French doors that leads to a deck that is finished with pink coral tiles.

The two guest bedrooms on the pool side have French doors that lead to a gorgeous porch with pink coral tile overlooking the pool,. These bedrooms have the same Porcelain flooring throughout and are joined by a jack and Jill full bath. These rooms are complete with queen size beds, dressers, night stands, and TV's.

The Better Life also has a one-bedroom guest cottage across the pool from the main house. The cottage has a full kitchen, living/dining area, one bedroom with a king bed, and one full bath.

Amenities include WIFI, AC throughout, 5 smart TVs (but no satellite or cable), gas grill, and a back-up generator.

8/10 Good

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 house was overall very clean. We had 4 elderly people, so the stairs were a little overwhelming. For being a new home, it has a lot of maintenance that needs to be done, such as all the downstairs ceilings, closet doors, and electrical outlet holes. There were a lot of bugs in the house. The pool was very clean when we arrived, but no maintenance was done during our stay and it got very cloudy and murky. The walk to the beach is also very treacherous for older people when coming back, since you have to climb a steep hill. The house kitchen was well stocked with all the essential appliances and cookware. I think this place would be ideal for a family with young kids, however would not recommend if you are bringing senior guests.

It's Trul Better to stay at "The Better Life & Cottage"
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 as a family of 10, truly enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect, with amazing views of the ocean and a short walk to the beach. The beach was serene and water color breathtaking! The Better Life & Cottage had everything we needed and more to make dinners, grill out and plenty of room to relax and multiple bedrooms and baths. The home is very spacious and beds were very comfortable. The pool and pergola area was perfect for a dip after a few hours at the beach and plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas! Overall, the home was amazing!We would also like to mention that it was very clean and well maintained. The Property Manager was also very attentive and helpful too! We would absolutely recommend this property to friends and family and already have! Location is the bestWe enjoyed La Bougenvillea, The French Leve, Tippy's, Tiffany -Personal Chef was awesome, and Boat excursion with Uncle Rob was Fantastic!
