Peaceful Stay in Governors Harbor

This home is in the perfect location and the most well maintained and furnished home we have stayed in in the Family Islands. Dom is the perfect host and ensured we knew all the best places to visit. The house had everything we needed and kept cool on hot days. The golf cart was a huge bonus. We have never had that amenity and it was so fun to take that to the beach. We also loved watching the stars on the roof deck and grilling by the pool. We will try to stay here again.

Great Property

We had a really great time at Tops House. It was well kept, updated, everything WORKED (even the air conditioning!). The decor is really nice and we felt as home. Kitchen was well stocked also. The hosts are wonderful and were available to us if needed - but otherwise invisible. I highly recommend choosing Tops House.

Gorgeous home with a view

This property was exactly as described. It is, indeed, elegant. Location was fantastic -- easy to get to French Leave Beach on the golf cart provided, and an easy walk (or drive) to restaurants, grocery stores and such. We loved the house-- nice layout with enough space to find privacy when you want it and plenty of space to gather as a family comfortably. Bright and airy, the stylish decor is pitch perfect. The property manager was very responsive and welcoming, making us feel at home.And, a big plus on Eleuthera when the weather is rainy and very windy: the home has a generator! An important perk when the power goes off on the island. Would absolutely recommend and would stay again!

Tops House is TOPS!

First off the Tops House is amazing! Perfect for two couples with both rooms ensuite. The kitchen is fully stocked. We cooked 7 out of eight nights. The Eleuthera Supply down the hill has a great selection but is cash only.. Burrows is just down the main highway a couple of blocks and takes credit cards. And if you like fish make sure you get Hendrix's phone number from Dom. Dom and Joy were awesome. Informative. Always available but not intrusive at all. Dom's orientation on arrival was key to our great time on the island. Alabastar beach was our top choice but we also like Ten Bay and French Leave Beach. We chartered a 1/2 day with Captaib Bubba of Fishbone Tours. I would suggest you agree on a plan before you charter. We winged it, was fun to be on the water but could have been better. Two pieces of advice... bring lots of cash as it is very expensive and if you are renting a car be forewarned of the pot holes. We had TWO flats on the way in to Governors Harbour. And we saw at least 4 cars on the way back to the AP with flat tires. The good news is the locals are super friendly and helpful! All in all, Tops is TOP!

Fantastic place!

Joy and Dom are terrific hosts! They were communicative through the whole process and nice to work with. The house was beautiful, updated and well appointed. The pictures are very accurate and the pool was relaxing. The beach right by the house was one of our favorites we visited.

Tops House at Governors Estate is the place to be in Eleuthera

At first we had our doubts for renting this property because of the many options you get for renting beachfront houses, however we decided to go to Tops House because the pictures showed a very nice House, just the way we like it ... and when we got there, guess what... the house is better than the pictures, every part of the house, every piece of furniture, linings, decoration, equipment, etc. no to mention an absolute cleanliness up to the detail. We felt soooo comfortable in every space of the house. In tops house you also get everything you need to go to the beach, beach chairs (many), beach umbrellas, portable coolers to pack your cold drinks, snorkeling kits for the kids, and more... A short 2' drive with the golf cart and you get to French Leave Beach, one of the most beautiful pink sand beaches we visited, with balanced waves (not too small, not too rough) that my daughters enjoyed very much. Don't hesitate in renting this house, you won't regret it!

Magnificent Property!

The pictures online of the Top House do not do it justice; you must see it in person to get a true experience of houses' beautiful decor and design. All I can say is book a stay and you will not be disappointed by house or the wonderful staff that help make your stay worry free!

Better than the photos!

This house was such a treat. Big, beautiful beach decor, comfy beds and right in the heart of the town. We started and ended every day with a dip in the pool. Dominic and Joy had an incredible book of beach options and they were spot-on. Such a fabulous stay in Eleuthera. We’ll be back!

Loved the area. The restaurants are so amazing around the area. Everyone was so nice. The beaches are truly breathtaking. I recommend using island charter for an excursion to swim with the pigs ans feed the turtles.. A day in Harbour island is a must as well,

Perfection!

Sadly we left our home away from home yesterday and already trying to plan a trip back to Tops House! The location is perfect and the house very comfortable for the two of us. The house was exactly as you see in the photos and spotless which makes this a 5 star rental. The bonus is the resident kitty who visited us several times a day! Having the golf cart is a huge plus since the walk to French Leave beach in humidity and full sun could be challenging! Although there was construction at a lot next to the GH properties which started at 7 am, 7 days a week, it wasn’t too bad since we were gone all day. Don’t let this deter you from renting the benefits of the house outweigh the construction. A big thank you to Dominic and Joy (property managers) who were available at any time.

Slice of Paradise

We've been fortunate to travel and stay in Governor's Harbour on multiple occasions, and this was the nicest, most accommodating stay that we've had. From the house, to our hosts, Joy & Dom, to the owners, Kathy & Bob, all exceeded our expectations and they could not have been more gracious during our stay. Thank you again and look forward to our next getaway!

We could not have been happier with our week at the Tops house.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Tops House was beautifully designed. The sleeping areas were located away from the common area which was very open to the kitchen area. The kitchen was designed nicely with all possible amenities .Each bedroom had an adjoining deck for outside relaxation. The pool area was very nice with chairs and umbrellas. The bathrooms were spacious with large showers . Water pressure and temperature were great. Please note that drinking water was made available to us in 5 gallon jugs. Note, you may have to purchase additional water if you are a larger group than 3.Kathy, the owner, was attentive to all of our requests......our stay was wonderful and we would return to any of the Colman properties

Amazing Stay at Tops House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I spent an amazing week at Tops House in May 2018. Starting with the welcome wine, beer, and lasagna from Kathy upon our arrival the stay was the best vacation rental experience in our 7 years of visiting the Bahamas. The house was very well decorated, well laid out, and very clean. The pool was also a bonus, and I used it frequently when returning to the house on a hot afternoon. Kathy, the home owner, was very friendly and helpful, providing us with recommendations for coffee and dinner. In addition, Kathy let us look at another home she owns for possible future trips with the whole family! We loved Tops, its design and decor, and the great hospitality of the owners Bob and Kathy. We plan to visit again soon!

Very well equipped with a gourmet kitchen. Only an 8 min walk or 4 minute golf cart ride to French Leave Beach. Beautiful wrap around porches and your own pool make it a lovely place to stay. It is only a 5 min walk into Governor's Harbour shops and restaurants.

Definately would recommend this home for any vacation plans in Eleuthera. Families with children under 5 the lobely polished tile floors could be a little slick for little feet- ask for a runner type rug for hallway area to avoid little ones slipping
