Overview & Photos
Nestled amongst the greenery above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean sits the beautiful cottage aptly named Beside The Pointe. The quietness is deafening, the ocean view in front of you is pure ecstasy, and the sunset embraces you as it disappears into the water.
Between Palmetto Point and Savannah Sound, a mile off the main highway thru a greenery-lined track road sits your tranquil paradise, a perfect hideaway for honeymooners.
A private beach and the Caribbean sea are right below you down a flight of steps.
The owners live next door if you need them, but you won't see them if you don't want to.
Food stores and restaurants are a few miles away, close, yet far enough away from your quietness. There is excellent new oceanfront restaurant in Savannah Sound, about eight minutes away by car, called Fishbone Beach Bar and Grill, which is open year-round.
Ten Bay Beach, a beautiful mile-long pristine beach, is just a mile away.
Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just 15 minutes by car from the property. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won’t want to miss it.
Relax in central air comfort with DirectTV and WIFI. Enjoy the quietness and spectacular views.
We have 4 sets of snorkel gear in a variety of sizes, an assortment of hand fishing lines with gear, 2 single kayaks, beach chairs, beach umbrella, a cooler, outdoor shower and a gas grill. There's also a stackable washer and dryer. We just installed a brand new generator to keep the house running and our guests comfortable during power outages. There is a back-up water supply as well.
For stays longer than 10 nights you get 1 free weekly cleaning.

Kathy F. from Palm Coast, Florida United States recommends this vacation rental.
We knew it would be a great vacation when we were immediately greeted with such beautiful tropical landscape as you begin your drive up to the property. The view from the cottage is amazing. We were extremely comfortable; the cottage was very clean and enough space for the 2 of us. We enjoyed our lunch every day on the screened in porch. There were 2 kayaks that are available for usage and we took advantage and used them everyday out in the calm peaceful cove. It was great to have the beach towels and beach chairs also available. Please note, there are steps down to the water and they can be a little tricky to navigate, especially going back up to the cottage. It's definitely a good cardio work out on the way back up. I'm not a good swimmer but I spent every day in the beautiful clear calm waters here. Normally I need a life jacket, pool noodle or floatation device but not here. The roads and the drive to the cottage from North Eleuthera airport are not the greatest but it's well worth the trip. The rental cars are not what one would usually find here in the states, but it was reliable enough to get us around. Grocery stores are limited, and the costs are high, but I don't find that unusual for a Caribbean island. The Potlatch was our favorite restaurant along with La Bougainvillea. Tippy's was great as well. As soon as I get over some health issues, I'm planning on returning to this wonderful cottage.

This place is simply wonderful, fantastic location, clean, in good condition and has everything you need and more from a holiday rental. Keith and Sharon (the owners) are lovely and very helpful. There are kayaks and snorkling gear provided and there is a private beach. The property is within 10 mins drive of shops and places to eat.
Why haven't you booked this already? It's perfect!

A guest from Brechin, ON CA recommends this vacation rental.
From the day we booked, Pam at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals was so helpful and quick to respond to our questions and would send us extra documents that were informative.
Having seen the images and read the reviews we knew we were going somewhere nice but none of that does this place justice. It is super clean inside the cottage with everything we needed for our almost 2 weeks stay and we had the whole beach/bay to ourselves! The view is truly amazing and the water is shallow very far out so it was great for walking in and swimming (with water shoes for the rocky shore). Screened in porch is great! The owners of the property that live right next door are so friendly and kind. They have put much work into the upkeep of their place and gardens to make this feel like home away from home for the guests. They were very helpful and informative whenever we had questions or wanted their recommendations of what was close by. I loved the lush bath towels and great set of pots and pans for preparing our own meals. Those were some things that were above and beyond what was expected at a vacation rental cottage. :) There were 2 grocery stores that were not far away that we stocked up at and we went to the Buccaneer Club restaurant twice for dinners. Food there was great! The Glass Window bridge is worth the drive to go see. Thanks again for a great vacation!

We had a lovely stay at Beside the Pointe! Keith and Sharron are wonderful hosts and have an extensive knowledge of the island. The cottage was in a great location for visiting different beaches every day and conveniently located near grocery stores and restaurants. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable with everything you need. The screened-in porch overlooking their amazing view was a favorite spot for breakfast every morning followed by kayaking and snorkeling off their beach. We would definitely stay at Beside the Pointe again!

Wendy S. from Orange, TX United States recommends this vacation rental.
My husband and I stayed 7 days at Beside the Pointe in late August 2024. We have made numerous trips to Eleuthera, and this was by far the best vacation yet. We were searching for a private getaway, and this house was perfect. I was concerned about the owners being right next door; however, Sharon and Keith were terrific hosts and made us feel completely at home. They were there to assist with questions and valuable tips; otherwise, we never saw them. Sharon's mangoes are delicious!
The views of the Caribbean from the property are breathtaking, but the pictures on the website do not do it justice. The cottage is in perfect order and extremely clean, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed sitting outside on the screened porch and enjoying our meals without fighting the mosquitos!
We spent most of our days there on the private beach. The path to the beach is easy to navigate, but water shoes are a must. There is plenty of sand and lovely shallow waters for swimming and floating. To the right, there is fantastic snorkeling along the coral. We saw an array of beautiful fish and a few curious sting rays. After playing in the water all day, we sat on the beach chairs and soaked up the stunning views of the Caribbean.
Ten Bay Beach is one of our favorite beaches, only a mile from the property. Island Farms is also nearby. It is a must for fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade breads, and meat. We stocked up on our way in and prepared many tasty dishes.
Buccaneer and La Bougainvillea are excellent dining options in the area. If you arrive at North Eleuthera Airport, stop at Delish Lifestyle in James Cistern. They have lovely food and drinks, and the owners are welcoming and unforgettable.
Our stay this year was nothing short of perfect. We are grateful to Pam for always helping us plan an unforgettable vacation and to Sharon and Keith for being the perfect hosts. This home was exactly what we needed for a rejuvenating exp

A guest from Oakville, ON Unknown not recommends this vacation rental.
It was a perfect cottage our only issue is that the listing didn’t really express that the owners are right next door. So not quite as private as we like. In saying that, they were a wonderful couple and certainly respected our privacy. We hope we have made friends for life with them. So the only reason we won’t rent again is our desire for seclusion and prefer beach on Atlantic coast.

Jonathan L. from Peoria, IL US recommends this vacation rental.
This property is incredible. When we were researching a place to stay on Eleuthera, we came across Beside the Pointe. The good reviews and pictures sold us and we booked our stay. However, we were not prepared for the view as we drove our vehicle to top of the drive beside the cottage. It is INCREDIBLE! Pictures do not capture the beauty at Beside the Pointe. Keith & Sharon have done an incredible job with their property. Every day held a different sky, different waters & a different sunset. There is so much beauty to behold in their cove. We really enjoyed the kayaks and our favorite time of the day on the water was early morning. It was crystal clear and still. Felt as if we were paddling on glass. The location of the cottage was a perfect jumping off point to explore both ends of the island. It also had everything we needed to enjoy a 3 wk stay and was spotless when we arrived. Keith & Sharon were so kind and knowledgeable about the island and always willing to help with anything we might need. Top notch folks. I would stay here time & time again.

A great holiday in a stunning location overlooking the bay with steps leading down to a small private beach with loungers and kayaks.

Thanks Sharon and Keith for sharing your wonderful home, we would love to return!

Alistair C. from Palm Coast, FL US recommends this vacation rental.
Arriving in the pouring rain to a primitive airport was not a great beginning for our long anticipated vacation.
When we arrived at our location of Beside the Pointe that all turned around. Rarely do we find a place that lives up to the promotional pictures but this exceeded them by quite a bit!
We enjoyed this place so much that we spent most of our time here even though we traveled and saw various sights and beaches on the Island. Ten Bay beach was our second favorite spot, minutes away. Found a pair of Manatees ghosting along - which initially scared the **** out of me before I realized what they were!
As far as restaurants go Buccaneer's was the one we tried and found pretty good. Try their Conch fritters, yum! Cost Cutters 5 minutes South was best for groceries.
Keith and Sharon were terrific hosts. Helpful, gracious and super friendly with wonderful tips and extreme knowledge of the island and people. Their property is almost self sustaining as they have so much produce growing on their land.
The beach is far more than shown in photos - there is no one in sight for all of Savannah Sound! Snorkeling is great and kayaks on site to use. Made for taking pics and even used a Drone for amazing footage.
This was a wonderful vacation and we plan to return to this Cottage in the future!

Absolute perfection!! My husband and I could not have been more happy and relaxed as we were at Keith and Sharon's Beside the Pointe cottage. We were blessed with exquisite views and snorkeling on our private beach. This cottage has more than we could've asked for. All of our questions were answered quickly and the property owners went way out of their way to ensure our comfort, offer suggestions, provide us with daily goodies and became special friends. We cannot wait to return to our piece of paradise. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things. We did almost all of our cooking in, utilized laundry machines, and was so very comfortable
Spectacular sea views from the charming, cozy cottage on the point.

The Culmer's were excellent hosts proving us with information where to dine, a local cell phone for convenience and proving some gas for our vehicle when we were on empty after returning from dinner when gas pumps were closed. The beach is lovely and private. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks to explore and get to the great snorkelling spots nearby.

Brandie V. from Tampa, FL US recommends this vacation rental.
My husband and I had an excellent stay at Beside the Pointe in late August. The location is perfect for exploring either north or south on Eleuthera. The road back to the cottage from Queen’s Highway is in very good condition, making it easy to enter and exit the property. You’re about 20 minutes from Governor’s Harbor and about 10 minutes to a nearby grocery store in Savannah Sound. Gas station is nearby too. We loved the cottage! It had everything we needed. Although it is only one main room, it was spacious and functional. The bed was comfortable with good reading lights. The bed had 2 drawers built in underneath it on each side for storage. There was also a small closet with hangars. The towels were plentiful and soft. Tissues, T.P., paper towels, dish soap, sponge, coffee and filters, powdered creamer, sugar, and 2 gallons of water were supplied. They also provided a hairdryer. Even though we ate most our meals out, the kitchen was well equipped if you preferred to cook. There was a washer and dryer but we did not use them. Everything from the Wi-Fi, T.V., A/C, kitchen appliances, and shower worked great! We had no issues. The screened in porch had lovely views of the water and cliffs. What was especially beneficial is that the owner has a generator for the cottage, so you are never without power. There were a few times it went out briefly and it was nice to know there was no interruption for us. The cottage is extremely well maintained, clean, lovely, and welcoming. At their beach there is no one else there. The snorkeling was good out front. They had 2 nice lounge chairs at the beach and 2 kayaks you could take out to explore the cove. Communication was great between the owner via email. Answered many questions in a timely manner. The owners are a delightful couple. We enjoyed talking with them. I would highly recommend Beside the Pointe and hope that we can return for another visit.

The Culmers are wonderful hosts & fantastic people. They made our stay so relaxing & were so helpful, even lending my husband clothes & toiletries when our bags didn’t arrive with us. The cottage is immaculately clean & has a great little kitchen with all you need to enjoy cooking. The bed was extremely comfortable too. WiFi was great, direct TV always worked & electricty always on because there’s a generator. The kayaks were so much fun to use in the beautiful bay area. Eating out on the screened porch & spending every evening & morning out there enjoying the view was a huge plus. The property is beautifully cared for. We look forward to returning again as soon as we can. It was more than a vacation because we also made good friends with Keith & Kathy. They will gave us best advice about restaurants & tours. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation!

Beside the Pointe is a beautiful rental. When you top the hill the first time and see that view, it literally takes your breath away. The pictures do not do justice for this home. There are about 30 steps down to the water, some a little steeper than others. We are in our mid 50s and had no problem with them. Kemps Creek is very close, and is a beautiful snorkeling destination. Do not miss out on it. Keith and Sharon were so nice, taking us on a tour of their gardens and giving us watermelon that they had grown. They were so delightful. We cannot say enough good things about this rental, if we go back to Eleuthera, we would definitely rent this property again. Thank you Keith and Sharon for everything, you helped make our vacation wonderful.

This was a great couples place with plenty of privacy in a beautiful spot. The cottage is spotless and well-designed with everything you need. Comfortable king bed, good kitchen, and nice screened porch. Buy food on island or bring a stocked cooler. Some spots on beaches have limestone and you will want to wear sandals or water shoes. Keith and Sharon are native Bahamians with tremendous knowledge about the island.
Everything in the description is accurate. To reach the beach at the cottage there is a full set of steps BUT if you cannot do steps, there are countless other beaches all over the island.
The cottage has my full recommendation and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did.

Keith was an amazing host! So helpful and went above and beyond for us. He and his wife live right next door. The two homes are the only ones on this particular beach. The cottage is adorable! The bed was so comfortable! All the amenities that you could need were provided. It is clean and comfortable. Internet and Tv worked great. They truck their water in so you do have to be conscious of your water usage, and the hot water only lasts long enough for one shower. The front porch is really nice to watch the sun set or have your morning coffee. There are lots of snorkeling gear and a few life jackets. They even had a few squirt guns and nets for our kids to play with. The beach is down some very steep steps. My 4 year old needed help with them as they aren't really level. But the private beach was gorgeous. We used the kayaks and kayaked through the bay. The beach is a mix of coral and sand, so you will need water shoes. We visited 10 Bay Beach loved it. Keith takes very good care of his property and it shows. We didn't have any troubles with bugs except if we went down to the water after dark. Up by the cottage they were fine generally. We loved our stay here and would stay again!
