Property Description

Sandy Hill Beach House is your home! This stunning beach house, which has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, is open to the front door. It also features a 1 bedroom and 1 bath guest cottage. The room is filled with breathtaking views of the turquoise-colored coral ocean.
We are located at the Banks Road, which is the most desirable location on Eleuthera. It is a 3 minute drive away from Governors Harbour, which has everything you need, including gas stations, coffee shops, liquor shops and restaurants with great views of Cupids Cay, and the Caribbean. You can either watch the fishermen catch their daily catch, or just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or wine while you watch the bustling activity in this charming village.
Sandy Hill is decorated with neutral tones, antique wood beams, floor-to-ceiling custom antiqued wood and white painted walls that bring the vibrant Caribbean colours inside. The floors throughout the home are covered with beautiful tumbled marble in sand colour.
The main house is made up of three pods connected to the main living space by glass breezeways. This allows for privacy and quiet in the bedrooms. Each of the north and south pods (or wings) contain a queen-size bedroom with a TV and a bunk room with a single or double top bunk bed. Each wing has a full bathroom, which is shared by the two bedrooms. The bedrooms all have large windows and sliding doors that offer amazing ocean views. They have vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans. There are also closets with shelves that can be used for clothes storage. The bedrooms also have access to a covered porch with table and chairs. One bathroom has a tub with shower, the other has a full-sized shower. Both bathrooms are bright and modern with custom-made vanities and mirrors.
The main area is the central pod. It has a partial high-vaulted ceiling made of wood and provides a cozy living area with wall-to-wall windows that overlook the ocean. The kitchen features a large island with bar stools, and is fully equipped to meet all your needs. The dining table can seat 10 people comfortably and is strategically located so that all guests have an uninterrupted view of the ocean. The sitting area has a comfortable sofa, chairs, and a wall TV. This area has soft carpeting that gives it a luxurious feel. This area also features a powder room that houses a washer/dryer.
The master bedroom upstairs, which is located above the living room, has a king-size bed and boasts a king-size bed. The master bedroom has a balcony that offers panoramic views of the beach and an en-suite bathroom with a large shower.
Laundry room with new stackable washer/dryer holds all laundry needs. This room has cabinets for storage, a bathroom, and a wall safe with code or key entry for safe keeping valuables.
The one-bedroom guest cottage, which is located on the west end of the house, features a queen-sized bed and a full bath with a shower. You can rent it for an additional $1400 per week. This also covers 2 additional guests.
The large and spectacular outdoor area at Sandy Hill Beach House features a covered patio with dining area and a gas grill, also in tumbled marl. Steps lead down to a large cedar deck that can be used as a sitting area, complete with tables, lounges, and sofas. The outdoor area is located on top of the dunes and offers spectacular views of the ocean below. Cooling and refreshing will be provided by a stunning infinity pool that appears to flow down the sandy hill into water below. You can heat the pool for an additional $600 per week.
From the outdoor area, custom-built wooden steps lead down to the ocean and miles upon miles of pink sand. Enjoy our two sea kayaks. You can walk five minutes down the beach to Tippy's restaurant or beach bar. You can also walk in the opposite direction to reach the impressive Culmers Rocks formation. You can also enjoy the natural shallow pools. At the foot of the i is an outdoor shower with hot or cold water.

Jennifer N. from Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom recommends this vacation rental.

Sandy Hill Beach house was the perfect place to celebrate my big birthday with family and friends. The house itself is beautiful and equipped with everything you could wish for. The pool was sparkling clean and as we were right on the most beautiful stretch of the pink sandy French Leave beach, the view was second to none. We could walk along the beach to Tippys restaurant and snorkel straight off the beach too. The last week we were there we even had dolphins playing in the shallows right next to us. It was simply heaven! The beds were so comfortable and the air con and all the appliances worked so well which often is not the case in a rental. I always use eleutheravacationrentals through Matt Simon when we come to the Bahamas and once again he didn’t disappoint. There was a large group of us on the island and Matt arranged rentals close by each other which worked very. The house owner was really helpful and always easily contactable. There is no doubt we will be back!

We visited Eleuthera for the first time with a group of friends. We all loved it. The beaches are spectacular and we liked the casual, friendly atmosphere of the island. Sandy Hill, nestled in the palm trees overlooking the beach, offers beautiful vistas. The outdoor living and dining spaces are wonderful. Conch fritters at Tippy's on the beach were delicious.

Jordan B. from United States recommends this vacation rental.

This home, the view, and the setting takes your breath away. We knew this would be a nice place, but we were in awe of how truly incredible it was. What a treat to stay at such a beautiful home, on the most exquisite beach. The sand, water, and views were perfection. The home was well equipped and beautifully furnished. We stayed further north during our first week, but much preferred this location. The only thing that took away from our enjoyment were the bugs & bites on this island - if we can find a remedy for that we will be back as often as possible. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Manager Responded on 5/19/2022

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The noseeums can be pesky if you are allergic to them, but you can avoid them. If they are present at all, they will come out at dusk and in the evening, so they won’t be a problem during the day. Mosquito repellant often works. Another popular solution is baby oil. The little bugs can’t bite through a layer of oil. Worse case, you always wear a pair of long pants and socks, because they go after legs and ankles. The evenings are usually comfortable, so you can wear long pants outside if necessary. The bite of a noseeum is not very bothersome, but don't make the mistake of ignoring them if you are allergic to them. As soon as you feel the first little bite, put on your long pants, or your baby oil, or go inside. Otherwise, if you are allergic to their bites, you will wake up a day or two later with many itchy bumps on your legs.

Sandy Hill is absolutely beautiful. Everything you could want and more. We were a family of 10 and another couple/extended family that used the guest cottage. Ages 3-74 and everyone enjoyed it so much.
Based on previous reviews, we packed a bag with several frozen foods and they were still frozen by the time we arrived. Worked out perfectly and was much appreciated for something the eat after arrival.
The layout of Sandy Hill was perfect for our family. We used master upstairs and each family with 2 children ea had a pod with plenty of privacy.
The perfect vacation on a beautiful island.

Can't say enough about our weeklong stay at Sandy Hill. House was extremely clean and in great order. Plenty of room for everyone. The location is one of the best on the island, plenty of privacy but a 15 minute walk down the beach to Tippys. Sheryll was a great property manager and if u want an authentic Bahamian dinner cooked for ur group while u have a drink on the beach highly recommend her. Pool is simply awesome and the view is great. Can't wait to return.

A family of four stayed at the house during the second week of December. The home is in a wonderful location, the kitchen is well stocked, the owner Denise and the on island person Sherry were fantastic to interact with. Sherry cooked a meal for us one night that was incredible so I would recommend setting that up. The pool, deck area, beach access and the home were all great. We loved it.

We had a fantastic vacation at Sandy Hill Beach House. We so appreciate the help from Matt at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals. Matt was so helpful arranging our vacation at Sandy Hill. The island was great and the house, pool and beach at Sandy Hill were amazing! The ocean water was clear, warm and the most amazing color of turquoise blue! The sandy beach was the best on the island! The infinity pool was perfect. The house was beautifully designed and all rooms had great ocean views. Both Matt, and the owner, Denise, provided great tips, information, and time answering questions. It was such a great help. We had a fantastic family vacation and would highly recommend Eleuthera Vacation Rentals, and if you can stay at Sandy Hill Beach house you will not be disappointed--it was paradise!

Jennifer C. from Madison, AL United States recommends this vacation rental.

Sandy Hill Beach House is the perfect vacation spot! Ten of us ranging in age from 1 year old to 84 spent a week here in November 2018. The house was immaculate and very well decorated, furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils and had everything we needed to cook many meals.
The views from the house and on the private/secluded beach were incredible! We loved the multiple outdoor seating areas on the back porch and by the pool. The views are exactly as depicted in the rental pictures and can not be beat! We visited a couple of other beaches during our stay, and the beach at Sandy Hill was by far the best!
We brought our own beach towels and life jackets for the kids but were pleased to see that the house had all of these things for us. We'll leave those items behind next time.
Howard was so friendly and very attentive to any needs we had during our stay. It was nice visiting with him when he stopped by to check on us and the house.
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, house in paradise, Sandy Hill is it. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Stephen L. from Westminster, MD United States recommends this vacation rental.

Sandy Hill Beach House was our vacation home for seven family members. The house is beautiful - if anything, even nicer than depicted in the photographs. The interior layout was perfect for us. It is well-appointed with all the comforts of home. They’ve seemingly thought of everything. Outside, the deck is spacious and the infinity pool is spectacular. The beach? It is perfection - and virtually deserted. It was not unusual for us to spend hours on the beach without seeing another person.

Regarding restaurants, our favorite was Buccaneer Club. Good food, family friendly and incredibly nice staff and owners. Also went to Tippy’s multiple times, mostly due to the convenient location. I had high hopes prior to our trip because we could walk there. We were disappointed. Mediocre food and way overpriced.

Bottom line on Sandy Hill Beach House? Highly recommended!

This house is perfect in every way

Joan W. from Sanibel, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.

This home is wonderful and the caretaker, Howard, was such a stand-up guy. We just loved him and the Sandy Hill home. The pool and view are just like you see in the pictures. The deck furniture and living area furniture were so comfortable. We were happy with how upscale the kitchen and utensils were and loved everything about the beach, location and home. The way the bedrooms are laid out is perfect for having some private space. Go to the La Boganvillia for lunch or dinner at the beach bar, it's very nice.
There are three things you should know going in. Pay extra for an extra bag and bring coffee, spices, peanut butter, and anything you'd like to have. Food there is very limited there, meat is hard to come by. I brought a few things but paying an extra $50 for an additional bag would have been worth it and we would have had a bigger choice of food. Watch the pot holes! we bent a rim and that was a costly mistake....and lock the doors even when your home. We had 10 people there, the TV was on and while most were asleep there was one of us in the pool at about 4 in the morning and someone came in and lifted a BUNCH of money from the living area. I think you're totally safe there, I believe them to be petty thieves but the police said it happens on the island and you just need to lock up at night. There is a safe there, so use it....other than that, the island is wonderful, the house is fabulous and the wedding/family reunion was really a special time that we will remember for the rest of our lives....

Manager Responded on 10/23/2018

I represent over 100 properties on Eleuthera and bring 10,000 people a year to the island. A few times a year, something like this happens. So it is rare, but not unheard of. As I advise in the check in instructions for this house and all houses, lock up the house when you go out or go to sleep, and you will be fine. No one is ever attacked or hurt, but this kind of theft can happen, so use the same common-sense security practices you would use anywhere else. Regarding groceries: There are two true supermarkets on the island, and one of them will deliver and pre-stock your house for you. I would recommend that, and it's easier than bringing food in a suitcase.

Patrick H. from Saint Louis, MO United States recommends this vacation rental.

This home is truly as lovely as others have said. Since they've already said that, I'll fill in some details about questions we had prior to leaving home.

We had 14 in our family, six school-age kids, eight adults. We followed Matt's suggestion that we ask The Market Place grocery store (like an old-time IGA and 45 minutes away) to pre-stock a few days of food for us. The online process is very simple. The store concierge will call you with any questions she has about your order. In the comment section, you can request things you don't see on the website. They might have them. Pre-stocking the food was a huge help! We arrived hungry late in the day. Kids didn't want to travel one more minute. They needed to play/swim, not sit in restaurant chairs.

The house has a filled spice rack and has soap/tissue in all the bathrooms. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner. You may --may!-- also find some other helpful "left-behinds" like baggies, foil, cooking oil, sugar, laundry soap, and sunscreen/bug spray. We used up many of the odd ends of bug spray, then left one of our own.

For folks with food allergies/sensitivities: Market Place and Burrows (the tiny local grocery store) both carry gluten-free pasta. Neither has GF waffles or baked products. Neither had any nut butters besides peanut. Both had non-dairy "milks" (almond/soy).

The welcome materials say it's safe to drink the water if you're staying in a house on the municipal water line, but doesn't say if Sandy Hills is on the line. The blue pipes in the front yard indicate that it is on the municipal water line and the owner confirmed it for us. So we stopped cooking with bottled water and used the ice the freezer makes.

There are classic games (like bingo), cards, and a puzzle or two in the ottoman.

There are a few life jackets and some snorkel gear in the bin on the deck. More can be rented/purchased in town. Bring your water shoes. The local prices for

A guest from Bridgewater, NJ US recommends this vacation rental.

We were a family of 14 celebrating an 80th birthday. The house was beautifully decorated and had the most awesome views!! The beach is so soft, has pink sand and is virtually deserted. Didn't use the pool that much since weather was a little cool but it has a beautiful view as well with the infinity edge. House has everything you need if you want to cook. Very well appointed. Walked down the beach to eat at Tippy's a few times. They have decent food and good bands at night. Also had dinner in town at Bougainvillea which was delicious. They have nice outside seating under a huge tree. Be sure to visit the nature preserve right down the road from villa which you can walk to. They have lots of trails. Took the ferry to Harbor Island for the day to check it out. It was OK. Recommend you spend a day or 1/2 day on a boat tour. We went with Capt. Kid & Sons. Price was very reasonable since we had 12 people on the boat. Got to swim with the pigs, snorkel in area that had lots of fish and coral, checked out a wreck and ended tour on Sand dollar island which is just a huge white sand bar that comes up in the ocean which is pristine. Our Xmas week there was extremely windy the entire time so it was hard to snorkel off our beach since waves were huge every day. Sandy Hill is a perfect place to relax.

We had such an amazing stay at Sandy Hill. Matt was outstanding to communicate with prior to the stay. He was so helpful with recommendations. The housekeeper Sheryl was outstanding. She cooked for us 2 nights and the food was incredible. She also helped with rental cars and things to do on the island. She was so amazing and kind. Everything about Sandy Hill was great. The pictures do not do it justice. We loved every minute of the house and Eleuthera. Remember your bug spray. That was the only negative about the trip. The bugs are insane. Be prepared. We are already planning a return trip. Thank you Denise, Matt, Sheryl, and Sherman for an unforgettable trip.

All guests were very happy with this VRBO. It was exactly as advertised. Eleuthera is a wonderful, low stress retreat and this VRBO enhanced our experience.

PERFECT!! Family of 10 with plenty of room. The pool and ground were well maintained. Kitchen was well equipped for the chef in our group! Howard, Matt & Denise made the experience seamless! Already looking at dates for next year.

Sandy Hill in Governors Harbor lived up to and exceed every expectation. The Home, property were immaculate upon arrival, the onsite caretaker Howard, was attentive to every detail. This was one of the Most memorable trips of our lives. The location was superb, value, tremendous and privacy like no other. We cannot wait to return.

Grace L. from United States recommends this vacation rental.

From the moment you walk up to the front door you knew this home was SPECTACULAR! With every step through the house and toward the pool area the excitement builds, and then there you are overlooking the most amazing backdrop! The infinity pool with the ocean view changed constantly with the sun and glistening sea! How do I know....because we spent hours relaxing in that area wondering why we couldn’t stay here forever!
We traveled as a family ranging in age from 8 months old to 68 years old and was a little nervous about the logistics of traveling to the island. Mike and Tara made the process stress free. Tippy’s was a great little place to walk to for a before dinner drink, an after dinner drink or what the heck a drink while enjoying a dinner there...the food was great! We also had a dinner prepared for us at the house by Sheri and that was just perfect! If you are looking this closely into reviews and thinking about this house for your vacation, then you are one step closer to booking paradise!

House and location was exceptional. Great beach out back and we spent all day either in the Atlantic or in the great pool.
