North Palmetto Point holiday lettings

My family and I had a wonderful two-week stay at this lovely home. The location is absolutely fantastic - just a short walk through the garden to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island which was frequently deserted and had soft sand, turquoise water and hardly any seaweed. Governor’s Harbour is just a few minutes drive away, making it easy to pick up groceries or enjoy local restaurants.The house came with lots of thoughtful extras like paddleboards, kayaks, backgammon, cards and poker chips, which made for great family fun. WiFi via Starlink worked well throughout our stay. A couple of small points to note: the fourth bedroom is quite compact - better suited to children than adults -and unlike the other rooms, it only had a fan, rather than AC which made it quite warm at night. We also weren’t entirely sure what was expected around cleaning or linen changes during a two-week stay, though Charles was very responsive and quickly arranged towels and pool service when asked.Overall, a great stay in a stunning location - we’d happily return.

When I booked the Desert Rose and read all the reviews, I was very excited and confident, that we would enjoy staying there, but it has still exceeded all my expectations. This was my first trip to Eleuthera and somehow my instincts ( or guardian angels :-) pointed me to the most beautiful part of the island. The house is very stylish and very well equipped, it’s got everything you can possibly need for a comfortable stay on the island. My favourite part is waking up in the morning and going straight from bed to the beach, watching the sunrise, having my first morning swim in the crystal clear, super warm water. I equally enjoyed walks on the beach during the day, watching the sunset... My passion for the ocean aside, we have explored the island and visited the neighbouring islands also, the Desert Rose is very conveniently positioned on Eleuthera, so whether you decide to explore the north, the south of the island or just drive to Governors Harbour to get groceries or a cup of coffee, everything is very easily accessible. Two great restaurants are just walking distance on the beach, which is very special. You can still drive, but imagine walking home on the most beautiful beach after having had a delicious meal and a refreshing drink, it’s quite unique. The owners or the house are absolutely lovely, very kind and accommodating people. We were lucky enough to meet them in person, which was a cherry on the cake that made me feel even more at home. Our care taker was also brilliant, he went out of his way to help us get our bearings on the island and assist us in every possible way he could. It is so important to have somebody to call and rely on, especially when it’s your first time on the island. I am well aware that this is “just another” raving review on this property, but I really wanted to share my special experience and express gratitude to the owners, as well as the caretaker for making our trip super smooth and truly memorable. I am now back in reality and at work, but my heart is still at the Desert Rose and on Eleuthera.... I will certainly be back soon :-)
