Property Description

The beautiful 4-acre property, recently remodeled, consists of a 3-bedroom main house with a detached guest cottage, both built around an extra-large 33-foot private pool. Miss Ruby is located on the prestigious Banks Road, the prime address in Governors Harbour, just 5 minutes by car from town and less than a 15 minute walk down the beach from famous Tippy’s restaurant and bar.

Miss Ruby is a 3 to 5 minute walk (depending on your pace) from a miles-long pink-sand beach, usually deserted. This beach has a unique, totally-protected pool, perfect for small children, as well as a long stretch of postcard-perfect ocean beach. Miss Ruby features beautiful ocean views from the upper floor rooms and decks. Miss Ruby is surrounded by a lush garden planted with flowering bougainvillea and hibiscus, as well as coconut palms and other fruit trees.

Miss Ruby’s two-story main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. It features high ceilings, hardwood floors, and lots of sunlight. The first floor has large great room with living and dining areas, and a modern, fully equipped island kitchen with butcher block countertops and stainless steel appliances. There is also a guest bedroom on the first floor with a full bed and a full bath that is shared with the living area.

Upstairs features an extra-large king-bed master suite with ocean views, en-suite full bath, and an enormous ocean-view deck and wrap-around veranda. The upstairs also has a large guest bedroom with a triple bunk bed and a separate single bed. This bedroom also has a full bath and a large veranda with ocean views.

The detached guest cottage features 2 single beds and a full bed, a full bath, and a kitchen complete with refrigerator, range, sink, and coffee maker.

Amenities include private pool, air conditioning, laundry room with washer and dryer, WIFI, hi-fi stereo, cordless telephone, satellite TV and DVD player with USB and TV screen. Outside there is a gas grill and an outdoor table for dining beside the pool.

The town of Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just 5 minutes from the property by car. 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.

Upscale beachfront restaurants in the area include Pascal’s at Sky Beach Club (International cuisine with Bahamian influences), Tippy’s (international and fusion), The Buccaneer (Bahamian cuisine with Caribbean-Chinese fusion), 1648 House, and The Rainbow Inn (famous for its steaks and seafood). The above all have live music one or more nights a week, so there is live entertainment somewhere nearby almost every night. The Governors Harbour area also has numerous little takeouts and restaurants offering local cuisine, including Da Perk (coffee shop and sandwiches), The Banks Road Deli, Bacchus Fine Foods (gourmet restaurant and food store), Mate and Jenny’s (pizza and Bahamian), the Sunset Inn (local cuisine), and LeoRose Sunset Beach Bar and Grill (local cuisine, drinks, live music).

amanda r. from Greensboro, NC United States recommends this vacation rental.


We are repeat visitors to the island and have stayed in several other rental houses all along Eleuthera. Miss Ruby has by far been the best overall. The location was so close to everything you need: groceries, beaches, restaurants, etc. The house itself was incredibly well stocked and clean. We are used to packing extra spices, some kitchen utensils, flashlights, bug spray, floats, etc. but Miss Ruby had everything you needed and more! Our only con to the house were the beds. All of the beds were just thin mattresses on top of wood slats in the bed frame that were incredibly loud any time someone moved. Luckily, we were too tired most nights for it to be a huge problem, but if you’re on vacation to rest up and catch some extra sleep, this may be a bigger problem.

Misty was so nice and accommodating without being ove bearing. She met us upon arrival and showed us around the house and then let us swiftly get into vacation mode. We will definitely consider this house again for future visits.

Tory P. from PORTLAND, OR United States recommends this vacation rental.


Miss Ruby is a very comfortable and relaxing house. The design with two en suite bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs was great. The best was the detached Guest house. We had 3 teenagers staying out there and it was perfect! Kitchen is well stocked! Could use a few more mixing bowls! But otherwise we had it all. Misty the caretaker was there if we needed anything...which we did not! The beach is just down the private road, very easy. Great rental for families!!

We absolutely loved Miss Ruby! The home is so charming and just what you'd expect from a Bahamian home with a coastal feel with some antique furnishings. The pool is lovely and pool house gave our party just enough space and privacy. The grounds are extremely private and short walk to the beach and private cove was magical! We will definitely return.

Very comfortable house. Beautiful beach area. A bit of a walk to beach. Driving required for 60+ year olds and not that easy/convenient.




  • Manager Responded on 2/7/2023


    It's a 3 1/2 minute walk down the dirt driveway from the house to the beach. You don't have to cross any roads. Most guests will find that it is not necessary to drive the distance to the beach.

Wesley C. from ROME, NY United States recommends this vacation rental.


Miss Ruby is a great place with a wonderful location. We traveled the island for a week searching out hidden beaches while staying at Miss Ruby. All were great but the family's favorite was right in our backyard. The tide pool and beachfront just 400 yards down the path makes your jaw drop each and every time you set eyes on it.

The only drawback was the lack of Internet. The description may say it has wireless but it is a pipe dream. We had maybe three minutes worth over 9 days. We got used to, and learned to appreciate, disconnecting but if you plan on doing work or Zooms while here I'd pass on this place. Halfway through the week I discovered a hidden hotel down the road where I could steal Internet from their parking lot. I made it work, but it was a pain.

D L G. from Adairsville, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.


Nine people. 77yo Uncle, 60s couple, two 30s couples, one 20s male, one 2yo.

Ms Ruby is set up perfectly for our family. Our son and his wife with our grandson were in the pool house, so we could put the 2yo to bed and still party at the big house. The house was comfortable and more than adequate for our needs. The pool was a great place to play with the grandson after being at the beach. The grounds are lovely. There is a latticed car port to park three cars and shade them somewhat.

The beach is almost private and it is beautiful. Soft pink sand with the southern end protected by Culmers Rock (limestone outcroppings that extend to the reef that protects the bay). The water is gorgeous and there's a ton of fish to be seen snorkeling along the rocks.

The house has beach chairs, an umbrella and several beach towels you can take to the beach, along with a small cooler.

The beds are hard, but you get used to them...and I rarely find a bed that I like anyway.

It was a wonderful week. Misty, the property manager, was great.

A guest from Roswell, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.


We stayed in Miss Ruby as a group of 12. We had a great stay. Misty, the house manager was super helpful in showing us around town and helping us with any questions we had. The beach is not quite as close as it seems in the picture, it is a 5 to 7 minute walk to the beach. Once at the beach is one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen! All the beds in the property could use a soft mattress topper, they were all hard. Tippy‘s restaurant is a fun environment and good food, it’s about a 25 to 30 minute walk on the beach, or a quick five minute drive. Buccaneers in town was great. Definitely do the fish fry on Friday night, was the highlight of our week!




  • Manager Responded on 4/11/2019


    A couple of clarifications regarding distances and time: I actually timed the walk to the beach once with a stop watch and it was 3 1/2 minutes. Tippy's is one mile away, and the drive takes 2 minutes.

Everything was perfect. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Misty from the concierge service. She showed us around and gave us some great restaurant reviews etc. We stayed in Eleuthra 6 years prior and knew we would love being on Banks Rd, near town and some great restaurants and the Island Farm. What we didn't realize was just how magical Miss Ruby's and the beach down the private path would be. We will be back! Everything exceeded expectations
