Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Governor's Harbour
Hundreds of feet of white sand Caribbean beach. Gently prevailing winds and crystal clear water. Excellent swimming beach. A+ location just minutes away from island's largest settlement, Governor's Harbour, with restaurants, shops, churches, banks, postoffice, movie theatre, bakery and entertainment. Levy island a kayak ride away across the bay.
The Unique Benefits of this Balara Bay Beach House
Wonderful shelling beach. Premier bone fishing territory. We want to live on the Caribbean, or leeward side of the island. We want the gentle breezes and calm Caribbean waters for kayaking, fishing, swimming. Hummingbird sand beach is a treasure. Very few sand beaches on Caribbean side of the island. Easy access to Governor's Harbour, just 2 minutes away.
