Excellent Holiday!

This place is a true gem and John is so helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms are all great and Mel's cottage, where we stayed was cute as a button. Process was smooth from the time we arrived to time we left. Highly recommend renting a car from John as well as many amazing beaches to explore!!

Our stay at Villa Allamanda

Loved our stay in this beautiful setting - private, lush gardens, gorgeous view of the ocean. Stayed in Mel's Manor - small, as described, but very comfortable. Plan for some bumpy roads - potholes, etc, when beach hunting and exploring - this is part of the Eleuthera experience! Love this Island!

Villa Allamanda

Place was clean, very easy to connect with property manager and he was very helpful! The pictures online did not match the property we were booked in or stayed at but they were very nice.

A Relaxing Week in Governor's Harbor

I had a great relaxing week at Governor's Harbor...the cottage was perfect (including a supporting bed). John, the owner/host was always available when needed and always helpful. I got in a routine....coffee, news and a book early morning, then off to find a beach to snorkel and walk at...then find a beach lunch and then siesta...around 5 or 6 I would walk down to Twin Cove for an evening dip in the crystal clear Atlantic...then a lite dinner and people watching...repeat for 7 days. I came back relaxed and happy! Great host, great location. I'd do it again!!

John maintains a meticulous property and operation. You can tell he takes pride in his work. Since we were renting one of his vehicles (highly recommended and a must to explore the island), he gave us a great rundown of the do’s and don’ts, some recommendations, and how to reach him if we needed anything. If and when we go back, we’re definitely staying at Villa Allamanda. It’s in a good location about 5mins from Governor’s Harbour; so everything you need is closeby. Furthermore, being in the geographical center of the island makes it easy to explore both ends of the island. Anyhow, we can’t thank John enough. He’s truly a wonderful person with an amazing property. Cheers to an amazing trip!

A little cottage in a tropical gatden

My son stayed in the cottage. The lush garden provided much needed shade in such a tropical place. John helped him to get around as he could not rent a car being under 25. The place is too far from governors harbour to walk or cycle there but there are amazing beaches nearby to explore. He lives his stay.
