Overview & Photos
Welcome to Miranda House, your tropical home rising above the Caribbean Sea, just steps away. This luxury two-bedroom, two-bath house with views of the ocean and sunset is surrounded by lush vegetation and countless options for lounging in the sun or shade, including a wrap-around veranda.
Miranda House has access to a stunning members-only pool on the Atlantic side of Wykee Estates (a quick drive across Queen’s Highway) and, then, just past the pool, access to one of Eleuthera’s famous pink-sand beaches.
Miranda House features a large living room with a 50” flat screen Smart TV and DirecTV, Sonos sound bar, and BluRay DVD player. A writing desk, a screened in reading porch, a large screened in dining room that seats 8 beneath cooling fans, and an indoor dining area with a table that seats six.
The fully stocked kitchen has an open plan and leads to a kitchen island perfect for cocktails.
The upstairs bedroom features a king-sized bed, a 40” flat screen Smart TV, a spectacular deck with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea and sunset, and a private bath with shower.
The downstairs bedroom features a king-sized bed and a private bath with shower, with views of the lush tropical grounds.
Walk out onto your enormous wrap-around veranda with sun and shade and views of the surrounding gardens, a perfect spot to lounge with a book or relax with morning coffee or a cool drink.
Miranda House comes with its very own bar! Welcome to the El Bar, the only private bar on the island. Situated just behind the main house, air-conditioned, equipped with refrigerator, wet bar, electricity and its very own history, just bring your own bottles and mixologists and enjoy.
Miranda House is steps from the Wykee Estates boat ramp where fishing or cruising charters can retrieve you for a day of adventure. The Wykee boat ramp has some of the best snorkeling on the island, steps from your door, with many varieties of colorful tropical reef fish. You can also fish for fresh grouper right off the ramp.
Amenities at Miranda House include AC throughout, washer/dryer, WiFi, Smart TVs, DirecTV, Keurig Coffee Maker and a Standard Drip Coffee Maker, Queen Aero Mattress, Gas Grill, and plenty of off-street parking.
Miranda House is close to all of Governor’s Harbor’s dining and shopping, grocery stores and liquor stores, including Tippy’s, The French Leave Resort’s 1648 restaurant, and Sky Beach’s restaurant and pool (a mere 3-minute drive from home). Miranda House is perfectly positioned to be your home away from home and home base.

Martin G. from Strasbourg, Alsace France recommends this vacation rental.
Nous avons eu la chance de trouver cette splendide villa de style colonial (mais construite dans les années 2000), excellemment fournie et arrangé avec beaucoup de goût. Les espaces intérieurs sont parfaits et les terrasses permettent une agréable ouverture sur l'extérieur à tout moment. Tout, dans la maison, fonctionne (ce qui n'est pas nécessairement le cas partout ailleurs sur cette île paradisiaque, mais peu aménagée) et les responsables sur place interviennent à la moindre éventuelle question. Nous avons notamment apprécié le calme absolu, l'environnement verdoyant et aussi la sécurité du lieu, très protégé. Nous espérons revenir à la première occasion possible et nous conseillons l'endroit à tout chacun, les yeux fermés.

We had a great time in the house which is well located and very comfortable. The beach and pool are right nearby and there is a dock at the end of the road at the Caribbean side. We had a lot of fun.

Kristin T. from Roswell, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.
Miranda house is lovely and well appointed. The weather was lovely and the breeze allowed us to turn off the AC and open all of the sliders. Plenty of pots and pans for cooking. Wonderful deck and screened in porch. The house is private and quiet. We enjoyed snorkeling from the nearby boat ramp. Truly a great stay! Thanks to the property manager, Linda, for taking such great care of us!

Miranda House is full-equipped in an isolated setting that provides the ultimate relaxation and amenities. We enjoyed the views from the upstairs balcony and long walks to the boat dock everyday. Everything was spacious and clean.

A guest from TYNGSBORO, MA United States not recommends this vacation rental.
Stayed in Wykee Estates at the Miranda House
Good central location on the island. House was clean
and had just about everything you would need including
a washer/dryer and backup generator.
Recommend that some of the slider doors be looked at as the
front two are difficult to open and shut.
Most likely their glide tracks need cleaning and lubricant applied.
Again a good location and close to many beautiful beaches
Great location and home

Yannick L. from Nassau Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
From the very beginning, everything was super easy and the property manager was always helpful. anything we asked for was taken care of. It seemed that the house had been closed up for a while and was a bit dusty for us as we had allergies. This was the only issue we had but we understand how a wooden house would be if closed up. Great views from the bedroom and beautiful garden area downstairs, the power went out a couple of times, and would have liked to have the generator working.

Linda V. from Irvine, NA Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
We had a lovely stay at Miranda House. The pictures on the website accurately described the house. It was spacious and well-appointed. The artwork was beautiful.The kitchen was a bit tired but there were pots, pans, dishes, etc that made up for it and we enjoyed eating in for a few nights. The beds were very comfortable and and the bathrooms were adequate. It was spotlessly clean and we had access to Linda, the manager if we needed anything. She was very helpful and returned calls or messages promptly.
We loved waking in the morning and relaxing on the porch and listening to the birds . Outdoor furniture was comfortable. We also loved the side porch with the large table because of the cool breeze. It would nice to have a comfortable chair to relax in the late afternoon when it is too hot to sit on the porch deck. We did have a view of the sea from the upstairs deck and we enjoyed watching the stars at night.
Location was good and we liked being close to many restaurants -- Pascals was practically across the street! We had excellent meals at Pascals, Tippy's (our favorite, Bouganvillea and lunches at Bacchus. We didn't use the beach on the Atlantic side as it was too choppy for us. But there are so many beautiful beaches nearby so that it wasn't problem. Also, we used the house's beach chairs and towels.
Eleuthera was a marvelous island to visit -- the people are incredibly warm and helpful. It is very safe and we feel that beaches we have been to in the Caribbean. Miranda House served our needs and we felt at home in this beautiful property. Kristin at Vacation Rentals was extremely helpful from booking and throughout our stay. We highly recommend them and will spread the word to our friends.

Taris H. from Henrico , VA US recommends this vacation rental.
My stay at Miranda House, which is located right out side of Governor’s Harbor was magnificent. The house clean and well appointed, and was just like the online pictures, just stunning! Mrs Stubbs, the caretaker was so friendly and responsive to our inquiries! I would definitely stay at Miranda House again without hesitation!
Unbelievable Vacation!!!!

It's been over 5 years from a real vacation for me and my family. The Mirada house was a great stay, we all truly enjoy the house and the location. We are going to plan a vacation for next year and I will try to stay here again if its available. I want to thank "Kristin Tornow" for here communication before and throughout my vacation.
Thanks JR

We were staying in eleuthera as hurricane Nicole was approaching and needed a rental with a generator and awesome WI- FI. Miranda house was the perfect fit. Everything worked to perfection and Matt Simon and the owner Daniel were great to work with . Nice, clean well appointed 2 bedroom house. Walk to the bay and beach.
