The Yellow House is a large and elegant 4 bedroom home, designed in the Bahamian Colonial style, with living areas that open out to gracious wrap-around verandas, and a private swimming pool and outdoor dining area that offers the serenity of Eleuthera island life. This home is located at the top of the hill in central Governors Harbour, and is part of the distinguished Governors Harbour Collection of properties.
The ground floor of Yellow House features the great room and dining room, decorated with understated sophistication. The kitchen is large and modern, featuring stainless steel appliances and a custom-designed island – perfect for entertaining. There is a guest powder room on this level, and a beautifully furnished snug office space just below.
The Yellow House has a total of four bedrooms. All beds are dressed with plush duvet covers and luxury, hotel quality linens. The ground floor bedroom contains two twin beds that easily converts to a king with mattress topper. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor, including two with king beds and one with two double beds and a day bed. All four bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms.
A private balcony from one of the king-sized rooms offers views over the Atlantic Ocean. The other two second-floor bedrooms share a balcony and views of lovely, lush landscaping.
Amenities at Yellow House include complimentary housekeeping (2 days per week), a large flat screen SMART TV with Cable and Netflix, high-efficiency ductless AC units and ceiling fans in every room, strong Wi-Fi throughout (MESH system installed), a Sonos Bluetooth speaker, a spacious laundry room with large capacity washer and dryer, and off-street parking. There is a large gas grill and al-fresco dining area on the ground floor wrap-around veranda. A golf cart is provided for travelling to and from French Leave Beach, a short ride downhill from the property. There is also a full capacity generator for back-up power supply.
Private chefs and provisioning services, as well as other resources are always available for an additional charge, on request.
As with all Governor’s Collection properties, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella and several cooler bags are included with the rental of this property. There is also a 50 quart hard cooler, with wheels, provided. At the guest's option, the swimming pool can be heated for a fee of $350 per week.
An 8-minute walk (or 3-minute golf-cart ride in our 6+ seater golf cart) down the hill leads to world-famous French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that has been ranked in the top 20 of the world. A 5-minute walk in the other direction takes you to the village of Governor’s Harbour, where you will find grocery stores, liquor stores, several restaurants and cafes, a bank (with ATM services), gift shops, and more!
The island of Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. 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.
