Excellent stay! Central Euthera - just few minute drive from Governors Harbour. Short walk on path to beautiful beach! Small pool was nice. Near road but good privacy in wooded area. Upstairs deck was pretty cool to just hang out, relax, enjoy the view. Just 2 of us but can sleep 5 in two bedrooms as stated.

Jethro is a great host. We appreciated all recommendations about local beaches, restaurants and activities. It greatly helped mapped our stay. There are so many great beaches and this island is worth the planning and flights. The snorkels and all beach supplies were great as well.

Perfect location for exploring the island north to south. Just right for my wife and I and our two sons. Pool and upstairs deck added bonus. Beach towels and chairs also a nice touch. Highly recommend if looking for clean space to launch day trips from.
