Description

Waterford House is a 12-acre estate with 600 feet of private pink-sand beachfront. It is located on the prestigious Banks Road, 2 miles from Governors Harbour. Waterford enjoys complete privacy and a deserted beach, but is just a five-minute walk from famous Tippy's beachfront restaurant.

Waterford features ocean views from all major rooms. The entrance opens into the sunlit dining room, with sliding glass doors to the beach and pool on the opposite wall. To the right is the main living area, furnished with a large comfortable sectional to relax on while enjoying the ocean view. To the left is the fully equipped kitchen, a generously proportioned room with an island in the middle, a second dining area, and glass doors leading to deck. The house has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed, an ocean view, and a en suite bath. It opens to the pool and patio. The queen bedroom has direct access to the second bathroom. The third bedroom has a king bed, an ocean view, and opens to the pool and patio. This bedroom has access to the bath via the hallway.

Both the living room and the kitchen breakfast area are equipped with televisions (both have satellite TV and Apple TV).

From Governors Harbour’s famous Banks Road, the driveway to Waterford House takes you through a pair of wrought-iron gates with white walls, then through the gardens to the main house. Waterford is surrounded by extensive gardens. The front entry has a port-cochere, providing a covered space for parking as you go in and out of the house.

The main entrance to the one-story home is enclosed by glass walls. The front door slides open to the sun-lit dining room, softly decorated in white, taking you all the way through to another set of glass doors with views of the beach and access to the swimming pool. The main entrance is all in white wood with tile floors.

To the right is the main living area, decorated in soft pastel colors and furnished with a large comfortable sectional sofa to relax upon while enjoying the view. The main room has a support area, with a small bar and a refrigerator, and a laundry with washer and dryer. There are two bedrooms off the main room, a king-size bedroom with private access to the pool, and a queen size bedroom with en-suite bath. All rooms are air-conditioned.

Toward the left side of the house is the fully equipped kitchen, a generously proportioned room with an island in the middle. It features a second dining area with glass doors leading outside to the pool. Further to the left is the master bedroom suite with king bed, en-suite bath, and a private deck with expansive views of the beach and pool.

Outside, white symmetrical stairs take you up to the roof deck with breathtaking views of the beach, and in the opposite direction, the sunset. The wooden deck surrounding the pool(not heated) takes you to the rest of the garden and on through to the cabana and beach.

Amenities at Waterford include air-conditioning in every room, WIFI, beach chairs and umbrella, gas grill, two children's bikes, TV with DVD player, and CD player. The living room TV has Apple TV. There is a caretaker who lives on the edge of the estate. If you want privacy, you will never see him. If you want his help, he can be available.

The town of Governors Harbour, five minutes away by car, 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 the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists.

Heavenly Bahamian Vacation Home


We have travelled all over the world, and this was one of our absolute favorite vacations. The location could not be more perfect - the house itself is beautifully decorated, clean and has a layout that was perfect for the 4 of us but would easily digest double the number or more. The pool is the cherry on the top. We bounced between the beach (where at most you saw a couple of people a day) and then plunged into the pool and lay on the pool lounges and read our books, and then had sundowners on the roof deck. You are an easy drive into Governor\'s Harbor and we loved visiting the different grocery stores, liquor stores and bakery - and then the Island Farm was really wonderful. My husband fished off the beach but was also a short drive from the flats for some bone fishing. We have been to several places in the Caribbean and were yet to really be \'taken\' by the place - probably because we had visited more of the resort based areas. Eleuthera and Waterford house changed it all! I now can\'t imagine going anywhere else! I just can\'t imagine it gets much better than this. Carol (the housekeeper) and Amanda (the owner) were also both wonderful!

Perfect House and Host


The house was perfect for a quiet family getaway. We were looking for empty beaches for a trip with our infant and it did not disappoint. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, including a pack and play, beach chairs and umbrellas, cooler, etc. The beach was one of the best I have seen anywhere, and after visiting a few on the island (including Harbour Island), I\'d argue it is the best on Eleuthera. The walk to one of the only beach bars on the island was perfect and Tippy\'s is definitely one of the best restaurants. I\'d recommend the house to anyone.

Spectacular!


Waterford is an amazing property! Extremely well stocked, great location, fantastic pool and beach. This home is extremely comfortable and private.we couldn\'t have asked for anything more! The owner, Amanda is such a delight. Kudos to Matt at Eleuthera Vacations for his extreme efficiency and helpfulness. The whole experience was great! I would very highly recommend Waterford for your vacation stay and Eleuthera Vacations for fantastic service!

Wonderful Adult Family Vacation


This is a great house with many extras. The house is very clean. The beds are comfortable. The sheets and towels are plentiful and luxurious. The kitchen has every imaginable gadget you could need. Lots of spices available if you want to cook. The house is wonderful and the only thing that exceeds the house and pool is the location and the beach just a few steps from the back door. One of the best beaches on the island with some great snorkeling right there. The owner is accommodating and a wonderful host. We are so glad we got to meet her.

Trip to the Waterford House


We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was just as advertised and the owner was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making our family New Year trip a wonderful experience!
