Overview & Photos
Welcome to Lavender Beach House. This stunning new luxury home is perched above a two-mile-long pink-sand beach with just 5 other houses along the entire length of it. Walk for miles, swim, snorkel, or enjoy the powdery sand of this pristine beach.
Step into Lavender Beach House and take in the sweeping ocean views from the great room. The luxurious modern kitchen is fully equipped and finished in white quartz and stainless steel. Appliances include a gas range and French-door refrigerator. The large quartz-topped island has seating for six.
Lavender Beach House has two bedrooms plus a loft. The master bedroom has a king bed, an ocean view, and an en-suite bath. The guest bedroom has a queen bed and an ocean view. The guest bedroom and great room share the second full bath.
Above the great room is a loft furnished with twin beds. It’s a perfect hideaway/bedroom for kids and anyone else who can climb a ladder.
From the great room, step out through the eight-foot sliders onto the deck with its sweeping beach and ocean views. The deck is furnished with a teak dining set that seats six. The steps from the deck lead down to the path to our deserted beach.
Amenities at Lavender Beach House include AC throughout, WIFI (but no TV), washer & dryer, books and games, two beach chairs and an umbrella. The house is equipped with a battery back up system to run the WiFi and lights in case of power failures.
The Deck Restaurant is located at the southern end of our beach, a long walk or a short drive. (Hours are somewhat random, so call first!) Other restaurants within a 5 to 7 minute drive include Pascal’s, Leo Rose, Delish, and Mel’s Snack Shack.
The village of James Cistern, a five-minute drive from the house, has three grocery stores and a liquor store. Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is a 10 to 12 minute drive to the south. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, a bank with an ATM, 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.
The small Governors Harbour airport, with just a few flights each day and no jet flights, is just five minutes from the property. The much larger North Eleuthera Airport (ELH) is a 50-minute drive.

Adam B. from Oviedo, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed spending a quiet week at Lavender House. The location was easy to navigate and was convenient to Governors Harbour and James Pointe. The house was fresh and airy with direct views of the Atlantic. During our stay, we experienced refreshing breezes off the ocean strong enough to keep the insects at bay. We enjoyed watching a few storms, ships off in the distance, and a small shark making the rounds in the morning. The only people we met on the beach for the week were all neighboring homeowners. They were very friendly and helpful in offering recommendations on dining options in the area but were respectful of our privacy. The beach was simply amazing with pink sands and beautiful reefs for exploring. As for the home, it was perfect for our needs, newer build, and clean. Water pressure was adequate and having an outdoor shower was a nice discovery as well. The only suggestion we might add would be to place some sort of gate or netting at the opening to the loft. The loft itself was very cute but not a safe option for younger children with the current set-up. Overall, we would recommend this house and would love to return when visiting the area again.

Thank you for your wonderful review of Lavender House. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and very much appreciate your feedback. In response to your comment on the loft stairs, we are installing a gate for the loft, and a handle to make navigating the stairs much easier! We would love to have you stay with us again.

Lavender Beach House was a very cozy and lovely styled home for our first time vacation on the island of Eleuthera! We loved this special place so lot. The sight from terrace and living room was very spectacular! Only the beach access was an adventure every day - it’s not easy to come down!
Thanks for a very special time with a lot of unforgettable impressions!

Our experience started with Pam at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals working diligently to help find us a place that suited our needs. This house was exactly what I had imagined and was hoping for(clean, quiet, secluded and on the beach). Our communication with the property manager was easy. All of our needs were met and we were able to relax during our time there. Highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway.
Enjoyable vacation

David E. from Midhurst, Ontario Canada recommends this vacation rental.
Lavender house is on a nice beach (airport beach) with plenty of corral heads to explore by snorkelling. The house is new, clean with a nice layout. As long as the winds are blowing, you can get a nice breeze through the house if you want.
Great house!

Brandon L. from Irvine, NA Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
We had a great stay at Lavender house. The home was immaculate and fit the needs of my family of 5 perfectly. The owner and management company went to great lengths to ensure the home had everything that you would need on island. The furnishings and finishings were like new. The view off of the back deck of the Atlantic Ocean was fantastic. There is a path straight down to the beach which was nice and convenient. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off at the end of a beach day. The home has a full size washer and dryer which was great for our family. It was only 5-10 minutes from some great Caribbean beaches and Governors Harbour, so the location was fantastic. Would highly recommend.
