Overview & Photos
Welcome to Palmetto House, a brand new (April of 2024) home located in the community of Wykee Estates near Governors Harbour. Wykee Estates has a spectacular, mile-long pinkish sand beach, a beautiful salt water pool, which you will usually have to yourself, and excellent snorkeling on its Caribbean-shore, with easy access from its private boat ramp.
Pascal’s beachfront restaurant with its famous swim up bar is a short walk down the beach from Wykee Estates. Palmetto House comes with a golf cart! Hop on your private golf cart for easy access to Pascal’s, the beach, the pool, and the Wykee Estates community.
Palmetto House is nestled in a grove of trees and elevated to create a delightful treehouse ambience in all rooms. The sublime redwood deck overlooks a private garden with a fire pit and is furnished for lounging or swinging on the porch swing.
Inside, this professionally decorated home features a large open-plan great room. The luxurious island kitchen is fully equipped and finished in quartz and stainless steel.
The dining area has seating for six, plus four seats at the kitchen island.
The living area is equipped with a sleep sofa, chairs, and a 65-inch flat screen TV.
The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed and has a full en-suite bath with walk-in shower. The master bath steps out onto a private enclosed deck with a spectacular copper soaking tub from which you can enjoy the warm Bahamian sun or the spectacular array of stars at night.
The guest bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and access to a full bath with walk-in shower across the hall. This bathroom can also be accessed from the great room.
Palmetto house has a sofa bed in the living room in case you have a party of more than four. (Extra charges apply for more than 4 guests.)
Palmetto house has AC throughout, washer and dryer, WIFI, and a complete whole-house water filtration system so you can drink the tap water, and a whole-house back-up generator to keep comfortable if the power goes out. We have a charcoal grill for outdoor grilling, as well as a fire pit.
The town of Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, just five minutes by car from the property, 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.

The owner is very helpful and adorable. The villa is perfect with an access to the beach with white sand and to a beautiful swimming pull.
We spent a very great week in this place. Confortable and really nice.

A guest from Palm Coast, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
We have been to Eleuthera several times. We typically stay at a hotel. We generally like have amenities and services available. This was our first time renting a home. We are so glad we did! The home is brand new and has everything for your stay. The beach and pool are just across the street and I would argue it's a better beach than French Leave. Everything in the home is brand new and beautifully decorated. You are just a short drive into Governor's Harbor and Craving's just opened a new bake shop just a couple of blocks down the road. This home would be great for a small family (we have 3 kids under 11). Or friends and family traveling together. If you are worried because it's your first time to the island, don't worry. The owner knows the island front and back and she will ensure you have a wonderful stay. Our family is already looking at dates to return.
