This sunny suite on landscaped grounds is located on the hilltop above Governors Harbour, in a small community of homes called Governor’s Estate. Stroll down the hill to the shops and restaurants of town, or buy fresh fish and lobster from the town dock. An 8-minute walk in the other direction takes you to French Leave Beach, the most beautiful beach on the island. Walk for miles along this sandy shore, snorkel in the gin-clear waters, and enjoy a meal or a cocktail at the beachside Beach House restaurant. If you prefer, stay at home at Peach House and sunbathe on your expansive deck with views of the ocean.

Peach House has a bright and sunny, open-plan living and dining area with French doors to the deck. The spacious master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. There is also a half-bath off the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped and supplied.

Kitchen appliances include a glass-topped electric range and oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and blender. In addition to the full bath connected to the bedroom, there is a half bath off the living room. The apartment has access a laundry room with washer and dryer, shared with one other apartment. Peach House is fully air-conditioned and equipped with IPOD docks, WIFI and satellite TV with DVD.

French Leave Beach, walking distance from the house, is an idyllic, mile-long, crescent-shaped, pink-sand beach. There are only half a dozen houses on the entire length of this spectacular beach, among the most famous in the Bahamas. The surf is very mild, protected by a large reef system that parallels the shore. The water on French Leave Beach is literally crystal clear: with no rivers or streams on the island, Eleuthera’s seas are free of sediment and among the clearest in the world.

The town of Governors Harbour, at the bottom of the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. The recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, hosts a weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, 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.

            We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peach House and highly recommend it. Eleuthera is such a quiet island it is important that you have a comfortable place to spend evenings. Peach house has everything you could want in a rental including 2 cold beers in the fridge. It comes with hair dryer, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, cooler packs….etc. The upper unit has a 3 sided deck with multiple chairs and seating options, TV, Wi-Fi and Ipod docking along a fully equipped small kitchen + laundry facilities (downstairs). I recommend renting a place with some sort of kitchen facilities solely because a lot of the restaurants are some what average and expensive. I don’t think you could find a better equipped rental on the island plus you get visits from your vacation dog “Joe” and the owners (Kathy and Bob) live on site and are available for any concerns or questions you might have. So what Peach House doesn’t have is purified water (you need to buy bottled water for drinking). The water is from a cistern and while safe for showering and washing it’s not for drinking. The location of the Peach House is on the hill, so you get a small ocean view but it’s super quiet and sea air is fresh. We did walk into Govenor’s Harbour but you really need a car to get around the island to the beaches and sites. Highly recommend making the trip to Harbour Island and driving over the glass bridge. Favourite beach was Alabaster by the airport, better road access than Ten Bay. Renting this place was a breeze as all deposits can be made via CC (extra charge- common in the Bahamas) plus all emails and questions were promptly answered by the Eleuthera Vacation Rentals Agents Juliana and Tara. We will be back to Eleuthera and plan on staying here again.

            The apartment has everything you need. We brought our 10 month old daughter and we where therefore extra exited about the place. It is beautiful, it is close to grocery stores and the beach. It is CLEAN and Kathy and Bob are wonderful.

            This island was my dream place, never crowded, never noisy.... miles of pink beaches with occasionally few other people. We had a great time on Eleuthera and we loved Kathy and Bob place, we felt like at home, nothing missing, everything practical and clean, so nice and comfortable, the deck all around the apartment is great we could spend a lot of time outside because we could choose the sunniest spot or the less windy.... she really thought about everything for her tenants.... We think that their location on top of the hill at Governor Harbor is the best after exploring the all island... we loved it there! They gave us very good tips at the beginning of our vacation to find grocery stores, restaurants and the best beaches.... they were there for us! It is the best place to relax, to enjoy great beaches and nice people .... everyone nice and smiling. I will recommend Eleuthera and Kathy places to all my friends and loved one!

            We had a wonderful stay on the bottom floor of the Peach House. The property is beautifully decorated with Kathy's wonderful flare for interior design. The owner, Kathy made sure that the kitchen was equipped with all of the basics for cooking and a couple of extra treats like a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio. Kathy is definitely the "hostess with the mostest." She miraculously found us a car during the busiest week of the year and supplied provided Swiss chocolate when there was no chocolate to be found. The location is a two minute walk to Governor's Harbour which has a grocery store, bank and liquor store. I'm sure there was more but we didn't need anything else. We often don't get a car because we walk everywhere but I would highly recommend getting one for Eleuthera. We were also located a 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beach we have ever seen (and we have seen many). French Leave beach is a km long of powder white sand and clear turquoise waters. It was an absolutely lovely stay. Kathy and her husband also have other homes which look beautiful so they can accommodate various group sizes. We are already planning our holiday away to Eleuthera next year to stay at one of Kathy and Bob's wonderful homes.

            We can only recommend the Peach House for anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday. The Location on top of the hill at Governor's Harbour allows you to walk down to the city centre on the carribean side as well as to the french leave beach on the atlantic - one of the best on the island. The interior design of the peach house is excellent and very cosy - you feel at home from day one. Last but not least, Kathy & Bob really take care of their guest and provide all necessary tips & tricks to get around Eleuthera. Thanks for everything Sandra & Andrys

            The Peach House was just lovely. From the moment we walked in the door we were captivated by how light and airy it was and we felt immediately relaxed and "on holiday". The decor is beach style, light and white with comfy sofas that we spent a lot of time on, reading and relaxing. The king size bed was so comfy we slept like babies and woke up refreshed - no aches and pains that you sometimes get in other places. And the apartment was so clean too! The location was perfect - on top of a hill in Governor's Harbor, so we always had a breeze. There are lovely big wide decks to sit out on and look at the stars or catch some sun. The pink sands of French Leave Beach are a couple of minutes drive away and other great beaches aren't far. It was hard to drag ourselves away from the Peach House and Eleuthera, the locals are just lovely - they wave as you drive by and always have a smile and the owners of the Peach House, Kathy and Bob were delightful to deal with - as was their faithful Bahamian Hound, Joe! Kathy has thoughtfully decorated the Peach House, with vacationers in mind. I only wish she lived in Australia - I'd have her decorate my home! I'd recommend the Peach House or any of Kathy and Bob's other homes in the vacinity - Yellow House, Sweetcorn etc.- to anyone wanting a laid-back vacation with luxury touches.
