About this property

Luxury Seafront Suite with Spectacular Sunset Views

The suite is situated on the top floor of a Victorian style villa on historic Cupid's Cay in Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera. Suncrest House is engulfed in the beauty of the Bahamian seas, from all sides. The western side has the deck which overlooks the rocky crag that meets the astounding azure waters of the Exuma Sound. The eastern window displays, the lively dock side where the mail boats come in, which extends onto a half mile white sand beach that houses the fisherman’s wharf near town center.

A few native families still reside on Cupid’s Cay and located all in a 1 minute walking distance are a few restaurants, a pub, a convenience store and 2 churches.

Governor's Harbour is a beautiful harbourside town that has earned the title of being a calm and peaceful settlement. The 110-year-old Haynes library is situated in Governor's Harbour, along with century old churches. The Haynes Library Beach, and The Fish Fry Beach - where a local fest every Friday - both border the causeway to Cupids Cay and is a 2-minute walk from Suncrest house. After exploring Cupid’s Cay and Governor’s Harbour on foot, you would want a vehicle for exploring the 100-mile-long island, its mystical caves, bottomless ocean holes, and it’s abundance of endless beaches that are nestled in Eleuthera.

This charming suite was the perfect home base for our week on Eleuthera. We had morning coffee and watched the sunset from the deck overlooking the water. The bed was comfy and the kitchen amenities allowed us to prepare some of our meals in the suite. The host was lovely and helpful! The only thing I would suggest is that the bathroom may be a little tight if you are a super tall/large person. It was fine for us average sized folks!

Visit to Paradise

Such a glorious week in paradise! Thank you, Theresa for welcoming us to your beautiful island, and to Latoya for such a yummy breakfast and good conversation! Also thank you to Andrew for picking us up in North Eleuthera and for the historical perspective. The beaches, snorkeling, sunsets, and many restaurants - all were fabulous! Theresa, I will wear my brooch with such fond memories. We look forward to our return, and Theresa we look forward to welcoming you to New England! Can’t wait for you to add those burgers!

You get what you pay for

We stayed one night at this property. It would have been zero nights but we didn’t have another option for the night. Three flights of stairs was more than we could handle but the accommodations were horrible. This is a converted third story unit that is super-strange. The shower is on one side and the toilet on the other. The lighting is just weird. Can’t see in the mirror in the sink/toilet side because there is a dim light above the toilet. There is absolutely no place to store your clothes; no dresser or drawers exist. No counter space to prepare meals to cook and a fan or the tv does not work. The night was interrupted by locals fighting most of the night. We did not feel safe. The view is an old run down house on one side and a bunch of old containers on the other.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jan 2022
Ok, I will say up front that I really should not respond to this erroneous review because I can just say to check out all of the other reviews. But, I will say this to start. Denice's son who was on island in another house encouraged her to save some money and move in with him for her stay and she attempted to get her money back by lying about our suite. She did not even inform me that she had any issues whatsoever. When she first arrived, she was excited about the views.....yes you have spectacular views of the sunset on the water everyday. In fact, other tourist come to the water here everyday to watch the sunset. So I will attempt to address each complaint. 1. Yes she did have another option for the first night .....stay with her son. 2. There is one flight of stairs and three actual steps which get you to the first floor. If she had challenges taking the only flight of stairs I would have accommodated her on the first floor. It is a second storey , with one flight of stairs. 3.The lights are quite normal including the two table lamps on each side of the bed. The switches are interesting because I used to have my photo studio in the upper unit. 4. There are well lit mirrors throughout the unit to apply makeup etc. The bathroom mirror is for general use. 5. Yes the toilet and basin are in a separate space from the shower which is a plus for most folk who don't like the inconvenience of having to shower in the same space as the toilet which could have been recently moved. 6.There are no dressers taking up space unnecessarily but there is a closet with hangers and a very large space to rest your clothes on. 7. There is counter space to prepare a meal......suite style. 8. One ceiling fan did not work but the other one worked fine and a stand fan is there as well. The air-condition works fine and is able to cool the space very well . Most hotel suites only have air-conditioning. 9. There were no locals nearby because the nearest neighbour is about 300 feet away and they are a very quiet family. You can hardly hear any noises downstairs. 10. The old building is an historic lodge building which is over 300 years old and was built with limestone and rock. It would perhaps be restored one day. Yes we are located near the dock-side so on one side is the awesome sunset views and you will see some containers on the other side. It was a good idea for Denice to spend time with her son but not a good idea to lie about her accommodations with us. .

Lo mejor del lugar es su propietaria Theresa, si surge algo enseguida lo soluciona con su amabilidad, el lugar es seguro nadie toca nada. Si tu intención es recorrer toda la isla la ubicación es ideal dado que se encuentra en el centro.

Stay at Suncrest House

Suncrest House is the perfect getaway if you are looking to be away from the typical tourist spots on Eleuthera. Beautiful water views, a walk to Governor's Harbour restaurants and markets, close to pink sand beaches and nightly sunsets from your apartment balcony. The owners, Theresa and Andrew Burrows are extremely accommodative and local residents over-the-top friendly. I would like to return. Ron Wedekindt, Buffalo, NY Jan. 2020

Lovely place to stay :)

Andrew and Theresa were welcoming and very helpful. The property is centrally located, charming and the view is breathtaking. We had everything we needed for a great time. The mattresses for the bed and sofa bed need upgrading; but otherwise it was a wonderful trip. We would definitely visit again.

We enjoyed having Nicole and her family stay with us. As usual, we insist that our guests inform us of anything that may be of concern to them. Unfortunately the cleaner removed the topper from the firm mattress and forgot to put it back for Nicole’s visit . Anyway everything is back to normal including the sofa bed whose mattress is designed to be flexible. We welcome Nicole back anytime.

5 stars for Theresa, and her family, all of whom helped us enjoy our visit to Eleuthera; 4 stars for the accommodation which was lovely and complete with what you need but strange light controls all from the bathroom (renovated dark room!);, and 3 stars for location which is at a working dock.

Relaxing in E Lutra

We returned to the Northeast a week ago after a truly relaxing 7 days in the Bahamas, based in Governors Harbour at 'Theresa's Place' (it is on the map as such!). During our stay we ventured well south on the island of Eleuthera, and north to both Spanish Wells and Harbour Island which are reached by short water taxi rides and so worth it. Governors Harbour is a very pretty and historical small town and Suncrest House is located on the tip of the scorpion tail (known as Cupid's Cay) that forms the harbour. We had water views on three sides and unobstructed magnificent sunsets. The location may not be as upscale as many on Harbour Island but the natural unpretentious charm very quickly grew on us and all necessities were just minutes away, including some of the most beautiful and virtually private beaches you will find anywhere. The general store is a time warp in itself stocking anything you could ever think of needing. Local restaurants such as The Buccaneer Club and Tippy's are a short drive from 'home.' The latter is located right above the beach and both atmosphere and the food are great. '1648' is also very good for a more sophisticated change and Da Perk is excellent for breakfast; go for the raspberry and white chocolate scones!!! The house is cute, well equipped and very clean and suited us perfectly. Right next door the owner of Suncrest has a small cafe and a tiny gift shop that is stuffed with an amazing selection of quality 'souvenirs.' The jewel in the crown of our experience was in fact Theresa herself. She knows everyone, her advice was invaluable, and we so enjoyed just shooting the breeze with her. Theresa epitomizes all that is so wonderful about the Bahamas, cheerful, friendly and down to earth. Long may our more than 40 years love affair with this Island nation continue.

Awesome house!

Great house in the perfect location for exploring the island. We were able to see the north and the south without a long drive to get back home. The harbor has great restaurants and plenty of things to do. The fish fry is a must. Very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals.

Cozy and comfortable

This villa is located right on the end of the point in Governor's Harbour. It's clean, well built, and with great views of the ocean on three sides. The bathroom is a bit tight, but the shower is good and roomy. The downstairs is plenty big enough for two people, and I love the upstairs bedroom. The owners are local Bahamians, both very friendly and helpful. They own the small café next door, and live about ten minutes away. The villa is located right next to the port, so if a ship comes in you get to see it unload. We didn't rent a car, so we walked everywhere, including to French Leave beach on the other side of the island. The town is quaint, the locals very friendly and helpful, and there are good grocery stores and restaurants. A wonderful, affordable accommodation, and I wouldn't hesitate to return another time.

Perfect location, great house, we loved it!! <3

Me and my husband stayed a few days at Theresa's house and it was great! The location is perfect, especially if you want to visit the entire isle. It is close either to the north part either to the south. Minutes away from the beautiful beach French Leave where you can find nice restaurants and bars (1648 Bar & Grille, Tippy's Restaurant, Bar & Beach, Sky Beach, etc). Not far away from The Cove, witch you should definitely visit! You should rent a car, the Island is quite long. Theresa can help you with that. The house is very clean and beautiful, actually quite romantic :) ! Convenience store very close, full equipped kitchen, very good internet connection! Theresa is a very nice person!! I definitely recommend! We loved it!!!

Eleuthera is your island paradise!

Our family traveled to the Bahamas for the first time in February 2016 and stayed the entire week in Theresa’s wonderful Cozy Seafront Villa in Eleuthera. We couldn’t have been more pleased and fulfilled with our experience. First off, the Bahamians are simply some of the most wonderful, warm, genuine people we’ve ever met, and our family has done lots of world travel. The locals are such a peaceful, content people, and nearly everyone we encountered genuinely welcomed us to their island paradise. Theresa and her family were no exception. She was the perfect host, offering to fill any needs we had. She connected us with Roderick, from whom we rented a convenient and very reliable car and who dropped off the car for us at the Villa. Theresa kindly picked us up at the airport in Governor’s Harbour, giving us a narrated tour along the way to the Villa, pointing out historical sites. The Villa’s location at the end of Cupid’s Cay was wonderful, with views of the exquisite surrounding seas on three sides. You’ll find pristine, crystal clear blue waters and sandy beaches within easy walking distance. A few minutes’ walk down the road is a convenience store and a bit further, site of Friday’s fun “Fish Fry”, which we enjoyed our last evening, meeting lots of people and dancing in the streets! The house is spacious and comfortable, well equipped with everything one needs, even stocked with a sample of Theresa’s daughter’s very own special Eleutheran spices. If you want to relax and unwind, Eleuthera is your island paradise; Theresa and Cozy Seafront Villa will not disappoint! Robin, Scott & Maya

A true Eleutheran experience

This sparkling new rental was spectacular by every measure. The house was very clean and very comfortable. From the new queen size bed situated in the master suite with a view of the ocean and stunning sunsets; to the convenience of a washer & dryer, new appliances and the flat screen TV, it had all the comforts of home. The owner and her family were warm, wonderful, and well connnected locals that made us feel like family and left us wanting for nothing during our stay. Cupid's Cay has a little commercial clutter, but puts you in the heart of Eleutheran culture, surrounded by real food, real people, caribbean coves and white sand beaches, all within walking distance of your beautiful villa. Rely on the owners to arrange a rental car only because the other 20 beaches, 20 minutes in any direction; where we never saw another person; are too spectacular for words. Hike, explore the caves, snorkle, swim, relax on miles of deserted beaches! Getting here by plane from Boston was incredibly easy, Fly right in to Nassau and then fast ferry, or commuter plane in to Governors Harbor. We left Boston at 7:40 am and were walking on the beach just after noon. For your sake we hope you see Eleuthera. For the sake of this beautiful place and the people who live here, we hope we can close the door behind us when we visit again. This gem should be enjoyed and protected. We'll be back!

Home away from home

We had a fantastic time staying in this villa- it had everything you would want in a home: views, laundry room, two bathrooms and beautiful decor. The owner and her daughter treated us like we were family. We took a rental car all over the island and it was so nice to come back "home" at the end of the day. We have three little children and they loved it too. You really get a taste of the island people and experience Govenor's Harbour staying here. Again, we had a fantastic, amazing and wonderful time!!! We can't wait to come back.
