About this rental

About This Rental

Buccaneer Cottage is a hilltop home in Governors Harbour on Eleuthera, positioned in a town/village setting and listed as near a beach. The property accommodates two guests with one bedroom and one full bathroom. It was restored in 2009 and pairs in-town convenience with a private outdoor setting that includes lawns and gardens.

The interior layout centers on a large sitting area, a full kitchen, and an en-suite bath. Sleeping is arranged with one king bed. Kitchen equipment includes a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator and freezer, toaster, coffee maker, and dishes/utensils, with a dining area and dining table for meals. Comfort and convenience features include air conditioning, ceiling fans, internet access, television, towels/linens, a hair dryer, and an iron/ironing board.

Outdoor space is a defining part of the property. Guests have a private pool, a furnished pool cabana, and a private yard, along with a lanai and additional patio/deck areas. The grounds also include outdoor seating and sun loungers, plus a barbecue grill and a hammock. Parking is provided on site.

From this base in Governors Harbour, the listing notes access to a wide range of island activities, including beach time and water sports such as boating, sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling/diving, fishing (including deep sea and fly fishing), surfing, and wind surfing, as well as biking and horseback riding.

Buccaneer Hill Cottage sits high on a hilltop overlooking Governors Harbour and the Caribbean Sea beyond. With stunning views, a private pool, and beautiful lawns and gardens, the property exudes the grace and elegance of an in-town estate.  This estate was completely restored in 2009 with modern comforts and conveniences.

This cottage sits on nearly two acres with mature fruit and poinciana trees.  The grounds include a large furnished pool cabana, barbecue grill, hammock, and more.

The cottage has a large sitting area, a full kitchen, and an en-suite bath.  

The town of Governors Harbour, a three-minute walk down the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster most afternoons from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

A 10 minute walk in the other direction takes you to French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that has been ranked in the top 20 beaches of the world.  Most visitors to Eleuthera rent a car, because the island is rural and spread out, and a car is the only practical way to get around.  By car, Buccaneer Hill is just a minute from French Leave Beach.

Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is famously safe. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, jet skis, scooters, and bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for excursions of various types. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore. We hope you will enjoy Buccaneer Hill, and experience all our island has to offer..
