Description

Welcome to One Palm Hill, newly remodeled in the summer of 2015. This sunny house is located on a hilltop just a mile from the town of Governors Harbor and a ten-minute walk (or one-minute drive) from spectacular Twin Coves Beach. Built by the island’s top custom home builder and decorated by its premier interior designer, One Palm Hill is stylish and comfortable. The elegantly decorated great room with stunning 24-inch tile floors has lounge seating for 6 and features a flat-screen satellite TV. The dining area can seat up to as many as eight at the table. Four more diners can be seated on stools at the kitchen counter. The fully equipped island kitchen features a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and decorative concrete counter tops. There is a laundry room off the great room with a washer and dryer. There is also a LPG generator which comes in handy here on Eleuthera.
 
One Palm Hill has three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. Each bedroom also has a flat-screen cable TV. It’s furnished with a four-poster king bed. One guest suite is also furnished with a king. The other guest bedroom has twin beds that can convert to a king, as well as a day bed that can sleep a 7th guest. This guest bedroom’s en-suite bath can also be accessed from the hall. All bathrooms are elegantly finished in tile and tumbled marble. In addition to three bathrooms, there is an outdoor shower.
 
Outside the house has a wrap-around porch shaded by pergolas, a lovely spot for enjoying a drink, sunning, or grilling. Beside it is a beautiful new pool from which you can see the ocean at a distance.
 
One Palm Hill is loaded with amenities including an in-ground private pool, outdoor shower, AC throughout, high speed internet with WIFI, three TVs with cable (including two smart TV’s), landline phone and cell phone, Wii system with games, Xbox system with games, large movie library with over 100 movies, iPod dock, books, beach chairs and umbrellas, pool floats and beach toys, snorkel gear, high chair, pack n play, gas grill, and a back up generator.
 
Governors Harbor, the main town on the island is just two minutes away by car. Governors Harbor 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. . Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, and a medical clinic. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbor, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.
 
Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is completely safe any time of the day or night. Enjoy the rare experience of picking up hitch-hikers and leaving your keys in the car wherever you go. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for excursions of various types. 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. Come enjoy One Palm Hill and experience all our island has to offer.

A great place for families


We stayed here over spring break in March of \'18 and we had a a fantastic experience. I give it FIVE STARS! Why do you want to stay at One Palm Hill? Here are a few reasons. 1 - The home is an ideal set-up for families as I brought my 3 kids (ages 14, 11, and 8). My wife and I obviously had the master, my daughter had a room to herself and the two boys shared a room. Plenty of space. The pool is really great for an evening swim and there is a great stock of movies and a Wii for the evenings. 2 - The home is well stocked with supplies. Many of the homes we have rented through the years are sorely lacking in this area. Not so here - plenty of cookware, cooking utensils, etc. There were a couple of \"beach books\" that aided our daily task of adventuring to the unknown. 3 - The home is perfectly located on the island. Being located a mere 2 minutes from \"downtown\" Govenors Harbour, you were perfectly situated to reach all of the \"must go\" beaches, popular restaurants, and site-seeing. If we were in Rainbow, Rock Sound, etc. - we would be less centrally located and the drive each day would be that much longer. 4 - The homes comes with Carol! Carol is your caretaker for the week, if an issue should arise. We had a couple of items here and there that we needed help with and Carol was so friendly and responsive helping us. We felt like she was part of the family. I usually take 2 - 4 trips a year stateside and almost always rent a home. One Palm Hill was my first international rental and it was a great experience working with the owners and the house itself is up there as one of our favorites.

Fantastic house on a wild beauty of an island


An immaculately presented, beautiful house close to deserted pink beaches and the friendlier of welcomes. Excellent transport and wonderful assistance from everyone we met. I would thoroughly recommend this house.

One Palm Hill


We enjoyed the rental very much. Fit our group of 4 really well. We thought the caretaker would check in on us at least once but didn\'t. We were surprised about some of the supplies that we would have had to buy if we ran out.
