We had an excellent stay at One Palm Hill! Everything was as advertised and just a short drive to Twin Cove Beach. Beautiful view from the front porch looking out to the ocean. I highly recommend booking at One Palm Hill if you’re looking for a vacation rental in the Governors Harbour area.

Thank you Connor for your lovely review! We hope to welcome you back to One Palm Hill again in the future.
Beautiful house near a beautiful beach! Great location not far from Governor’s Harbour! Pleasantly surprised by the calming view of the ocean from the living room. We walked the beach road everyday and explored other beaches. Harbour island for the day and Queen’s bath. Dancing at the fish fry! Music night at Tippy’s and the Buccaneer! The house was perfect and Misty was so helpful! Perfect weather was great too:)

A gem!
One Palm Hill is an absolute gem! The house itself is very nice and welcoming. The layout is perfect with 3 bedrooms and en suite bathrooms and the kitchen is very well equipped. What makes this house standout though is all of the outside areas that can be enjoyed including the pool with 8 high end loungers, outdoor dining, and loungers in front of the house to take in the spectacular ocean view. We will stay here again!

We had the best time and the house was perfect for us.
My husband and I had an incredible stay at One Palm Hill. The property is beautiful, very private, and well appointed. We cooked dinner each night at the home and the kitchen had everything possible that we needed. One Palm Hill is perfectly located on the island, minutes from Governors Harbor, but in a quiet and private neighborhood. It felt like a home away from home and we would highly recommend to anyone! Booking was easy and communication with property manager and Misty, who met us on the first day, was flawless. Hope to come back again in the future!!

From the moment I made contact with Kristin, my experience was fabulous. Her professionalism was superb. The home was absolutely amazing. Everything was as described and more. The location was perfect. Safety was of no concern. The island residents were friendly and respectful. This was my second trip to Eleuthera and I found it to be as beautiful as I remembered. I would highly recommend ONE PALM HILL to anyone and everyone. Many thanks! Brian and Patty
We recently stayed at One Palm Hill for a family vacation with our teenage daughters and their friends. To say the house was the perfect fit for 6 people is an understatement. The check-in process was ultra smooth, and imagine our surprise to find the house very well stocked with everything from towels to snorkel gear and pool floats. Even the kitchen had every sort of plate, pot, gadget, etc that we could ever use. And the house was very, very clean.
The location was also perfect for us to explore the entire island. We visited so many of the beaches in both the north and south parts of the island. However, our favorite beach was the one you can walk to from the house - Twin Bay Beach. The house has plenty of chairs, coolers, and umbrellas for you to load in your car to take a picnic with you. When you return in the afternoons, the pool is a perfect place to finish up the day.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at One Palm Hill and plan on returning. Overall, it was probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed in.
Having stayed in vacation rental properties from Kauai to Maui to Exuma-One Palm Hill is by far the best vacation rental property we have stayed in. The property (home and outdoor spaces) was very clean and very well maintained. The layout is perfect for family/ group socializing around the big kitchen island and in the open living/dining area. The kitchen was the very well-appointed with high quality cooking/ serving items and LOTS of spices-so no need to pack your own. The three bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, separate AC units, and ceiling fans and were comfortable and beautifully decorated. The most enjoyable area of the home are the outdoor spaces (see video) with the lovely pool and lush landscaped yards. It feels like a private oasis.
Located centrally on the LONG island of Eleuthera and a quick 5-minute drive to Governors Harbour and many of the best restaurants on the island (Tippy's, 1648, Buccaneer Club, Bacchus), grocery, liquor stores, gas, and ATMs. It is also a great location for a morning walk to Twin Cove Beach and French Leave Beach- two of the prettiest on the island. Lastly, Kelly, Misty and Justin were so helpful in providing information and updates to make the reserving, stay, and check in process seamless. When (not if) we return to Eleuthera, we will return to One Palm Hill.

The house is located centrally. Short car ride away from the Governors Harbour airport, grocery, gas and restaurants. This is our favorite area of Eleuthera as it’s very convenient. The house is very pretty and has plenty of linens, cooking utensils and basics such as shampoo, conditioner, laundry and dish soap. Having 3 bathrooms made it so convenient and comfortable. Beds and pillows are comfortable. The landscape and pool area are very nice as is the view. A few things we wished would have been better are the dusty curtains. Upon entering we were all sneezing and took allergy meds. The two bedrooms facing the driveway were specially dusty as the curtains are thin. The rental provides 5 gallon filtered water that you can easily replenish at the local stores and also coffee and a drawer full of spices. Bring your sugar for coffee. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property, hopefully the curtains get cleaned more often.

SURPRISE
It's been a tough decision to make as to whether we should write a review
But we decided that future renters should be made aware
First off the house itself was immaculate!!!!
A/C was great kitchen had everything you needed
The linens and towels were high quality
But then came night fall
According to the house manager the nocturnal noises are frogs on the property
I've NEVER heard frogs make noises like this
If you've ever heard an animal being attacked it's the sound these frogs made
Ten seconds long every minute from sundown to sunup
We had to abandon the master bedroom and use bedroom furthest from
But even then u could hear them
There are these two foot tall birds that like like to hang around pool area
Pretty cool in the beginning but by end of stay POOL area is covered in bird droppings!!!!
Could not use pool our finally day because we saw bird relieve itself in pool
For the price of our stay 11days not worth the money

We have been renting this house for many years and we have 30 reviews on this webiste. As you can see, no one has EVER complained about frog sounds or birds around the pool. True, the Bahamas has frogs and birds, and you may encounter them wherever you stay. But no one has ever suggested that they are a problem.

We had such a great time at One Palm Hill! The house is gorgeous, centrally located and spotless! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need from nice cookware to a full selection of glasses, serving platters, utensils, even spices. They have plenty of beach and pool towels, chairs, snorkeling equipment, coolers...anything you need for the beach. Carol, the house manager, was outstanding. She communicated well before, during and upon our departure. She helped us with our concierge, Sonja, who did a preliminary grocery run for us, a boat captain and helped us with reservations at Tippy's. We swam in the pool everyday. It was such a nice bonus to have. I also didn't realize you could see the Atlantic from the house, so it was nice to look out and see it everyday. The road to the closest beach, Twin Coves, is a bit rocky, but once you got there, it was incredible-so private!Also, Tara with Eleuthera Vacations, was very helpful with covid requirements before and after we left!We highly recommend One Palm Hill and hope to come back one day soon! Thank you to Carol, Kristen and Tara for everything!

We rented One Palm Hill from mid December '22, through the end of March, '23. The 3 bed/3 bath layout easily accommodated our several guests.The home is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It is very well furnished and equipped. The kitchen has everything that you would need to prepare a complete meal and the beds and linens provide for a peaceful night's rest. The living room has slip covered and comfortable pieces which provide for indoor relaxation.Cross breezes when the house is opened are a perfect alternative to the air conditioning units which functioned flawlessly throughout the home.Importantly, the generator at One Palm Hill never missed a beat supplying power to the whole house during the numerous and often extended power outages we experienced. The house also has beach supplies which include comfortable beach chairs, plenty of beach towels, coolers and cool packs.Outside the pool area is private and spacious, allowing for both sunny and shady spots to relax with a beverage. Other outside seating areas provide options to accommodate varying wind and sun conditions. A clean propane gas grill made barbecuing fresh fish and lobster a regular dinner alternative to dining out. Twin Coves Beach is any easy 8 minute walk and Hut Point Beach is about a 10 minute walk. French Leave and other great Banks Road beaches are all a quiet 10 to 15 minute drive up the road with easy parking access. Restaurants, shops, and gas stations are also 5 minutes drive from the house down the road in Governors Harbor.As great as the home is, the owner and management team were even better. Communication was timely and accurate. The owner, Kelly, clearly cares about the experience of her guests, and the manager of the property, Misty, and her team provided regular oversight to keep the home in top condition. Obviously, we loved our time at One Palm Hill as well as the beautiful

This vacation home is stunning and very well appointed. The house was beautiful and very clean. The pool was amazing. A lovely retreat for our family.

One Palm Hill is a beautiful home located in central Eleuthera. The home is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need while on vacation!! It is beautifully decorated and the beds are very comfortable. The pool was perfect to cool off in after a day of exploring. This was our first trip to Eleuthera and we fell in love!! Kristin at Eleuthera vacation rentals was awesome! The homeowner also reached out to us prior to our arrival and was available if we needed anything. Also, Misty, the caretaker of the home was also wonderful!! We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. If you’re thinking about booking One Pam Hill, don’t think any further... it is wonderful!!
A group of 5 long-time friends who vacation together yearly and have a lot of VRBO homes to compare!! This is by far the most amazing, beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked home we've ever started in!!!! The pool and outdoor spaces are wonderful and we couldn't think of anything that could have been done differently. Both Atlantic and Caribbean beaches are short drives as well as Governor's Harbour which has anything you could need our want. We already want to go back!!!

Excellent property, host and caretaker. Beautifully decorated/furnished villa. Well stocked with kitchen tools and food basics. House and grounds were spotless. Location is walking distance to gorgeous Twin Coves beach, which offers some of the best snorkeling on the island. Five minutes to Governors Harbor. Highly recommend.
This property is located in the center of the island of Eleuthera. Governors Harbor is close and has all the necessities needed. We choose to take our kids on adventurous vacations where we don't sit still for long. The pool was perfect for morning and evening swims each day. The house was outfitted with all the necessities to may our stay more than comfortable. It seemed there was not one detail missed. Carol, the house manager, was amazing. She communicated regularly, and our kids were even excited to see her at the Fish Fry in Governors Harbor! Our only complaint is we wish we could have stayed longer!
This was our sixth trip to Eleuthera (third in Governor's Harbour) and One Palm Hill is unanimously our favourite house. It's always a lovely surprise when the house looks even better than the photos, it is beautifully decorated. But over and above that, every detail was thought about and we've never stayed in such a well equipped house, nor with such an abundance of towels.
Communication with the owner and with the caretaker, Carol was really good and highly responsive. There was a problem with a cracked pipe which affected the water supply and a tradesmen was out within 30 mins and it was fixed within an hour or so. As for the location, it's not in central GH, but around a 5 minute drive, but the upside of this is that it is a brisk 10 minute walk to the beautiful Twin Cove beach and its abundance of sea life including resident rays.
All in all we love this house and we love Governors' Harbour and recommend both, very highly.
