Overview & Photos
This spacious and luxurious 3200-square-foot villa features an abundance of glass to capitalize on the breathtaking views. 50-mile, 180-degree beach and ocean views spread out in front of you from every major room. The house has two master bedroom suites with king beds and ocean views, and two guest bedroom suites with queen beds. Every bedroom has total privacy, with luxurious en-suite baths and well separated entrances off long hallways.
The spectacular great room, with 20-foot ceilings and a wall of tall glass Nana doors, opens onto a vast patio with private infinity pool (unheated) looking out over the beach and ocean. The elegant dining room shares these views, as does the modern gourmet kitchen. The house features a complete wet bar overlooking the great room, and an adjacent office area with desk, WIFI and landline phone. Travertine marble floors, Hansgrohe & Duravit Fixtures, and custom furnishings help complete the experience of luxury at this exceptional house.
Other amenities in this villa include a full laundry room with washer and dryer and ironing board, air conditioning, satellite TV, DVD player, charcoal grill, free high speed internet with WIFI, Blue Ray player with in-wall surround sound audio/video in living room, and acres of closet space. Light-touch housekeeping is provided every other day.
It is a short 3-minute walk down the hill from the villa to the beach. The mile-long, pristine, pink-sand beach which this house overlooks is almost always deserted. The beach is perfect for swimming, with crystal-clear water and a smooth sandy bottom. The surf is moderate at this location, because a large barrier reef protects the beach. There are beach chairs on the beach.
This villa is located in Sky Beach Club. It comes with full access to the Sky Beach Club facilities and amenities. Sky Beach Club is a small club with accommodations for a maximum of 46 guests, so it will never be crowded or busy. It has an excellent fine-dining restaurant, Pascal's, and a spectacular beachside infinity-edge pool with poolside service all day long--lunch, dinner, drinks--and a swim-up cocktail bar.
In addition to the Club pool, this villa has a private pool too. Please note that the villa's private pool and spa are not heated. Sky Beach Club is not a full service resort. Front desk, gym, spa, room service are not available.
Additional charges apply for parties of more than 8. If you have more than 8 guests, we have up to two rollaway beds available upon request.
Please note that the driveways in Sky Beach Club are all unpaved, so consider renting an SUV or Jeep-type vehicle, so you don’t have to worry about bumpy roads.

Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

A guest from Sutton, Mass United States recommends this vacation rental.
The accommodations were perfect for our 2 families (8 guests total). The kitchen and living areas had amazing views and the personal pool was used extensively. Each bedroom was spacious with a good amount of closet space and the en-suites were well appointed. We were missing a few items that Mekell took care of immediately; she was very responsive and helpful during our visit. The villa was well stocked with kitchen supplies and towels, but we did have to purchase additional cleaning items (dish soap/pods, laundry pods, toilet paper), our own cooking oils, spices and condiments as well as ice. The grill was charcoal and difficult to light at first. The beach was *stunning* and the food at Pascal’s was quite good (especially the coconut and tempura shrimp). The neighbors were extremely friendly and shared lots of great snorkel spots. The villa was close to town and centrally located on the island so we only had to travel an hour to most activities. Be warned that the driveway is atrocious - both driving and walking is treacherous. There were a few items that needed repair (the main tub leaked so we only used it once and some of the showers were difficult to operate) but the air conditioning worked very well. We lost power briefly a few times, which is expected on the island. Groceries are extremely hard to find (make sure you check expiration dates) and outrageously expensive ($11 for a gallon of milk). We submitted an online order 2 weeks before we arrived and they delivered and stocked the villa but they did struggle to provide some of the items based on the boat deliveries. Some of our highlights were an all day charter where we fed turtles, stingrays and pigs, snorkeled a shipwreck and visited the swings on a sandbar as well as jet skiing on Cocodimama beach. We hope to return some day and would definitely stay in the Villas again.

We enjoyed our time on the island, but it's disheartening to see the development in decline. Hopefully, someone can revive this property given its excellent location. Thanks!

Sky Beach Club is under agreement to be sold, and we are hopeful that the new owners will address the issues.

A guest from Carmel, Indiana United States recommends this vacation rental.
A home with great potential. The home itself was large and provided lots of space for guests. It is great for each bedroom to have a private bath, and internet is reasonable if you need to work a bit while on vacation. The service provided by the rental agency, management, support staff and Sammy the bartender at the pool was fantastic. On the downside, the property itself is in need of maintenance and upkeep. The house private pool is missing many tiles, and the house itself had many small maintenance issues (light bulbs out, switches broken, water pressure issues), which were quickly resolved after we called, but ideally would have been addressed prior to our arrival. In addition the entry road to resort has completely deteriorated and is almost undriveable (looks like a lunar landing), and appears to have had no maintenance since the original construction 10-15 years ago. Overlooking all this, the beach is stunning, and the pool / Pasquals restaurant / Sammy’s drinks are great.

A guest from Madisonville United States recommends this vacation rental.
We loved our Villa, the location was great and area around us was great as well!
House was big and spacious.
We did have 2 issues...the internet never worked for us, even after reading-setting and calling for maintenance to help us.
Also 2 of 4 of our showers didn't work at all, so we were having to share showers, which was inconvenient. This issue was also reported, but not fixed:(
The process of booking and getting into Villa was fast & easy.
Hope to go back next year, hopefully showers and internet will be fixed by then!

Jill R. from Riviera Beach, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
First of all Pam, our agent was the best contact person in the world responding within hours of any questions or concerns we had. The place was beautiful and spacious and the maid service was awesome. If I had to say anything, it would be (and I am guessing covid and the island's tourism decline is the reason), the road to the property needs work, and some of the tiles in the pool are starting to come off... all minor to the accommodation and view.
