"Lovely GHB home
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house could not have been any more of what we wanted. Would stay here again. "

"Wonderful home for a fantastic vacation!
Folly was a perfect spot for our family to enjoy Eleuthera! Its central location made it easy to explore this amazing island and the historic house is full of character and charm! We loved Governor's Harbour and appreciated being able to walk into town. It was hard to leave! The owner was very helpful and responsive and Kristen of the property management was a great source of ideas and helpful recommendations as we planned our trip! We will cherish the memories and are grateful for our stay in this beautiful home!"

"Fabulous Family Getaway House!
Excellent house for a large group, well appointed with everything you need including paper products, spices and linens. The sunsets from the front porch were spectacular! And one of the best things about the house was the owner, Martha, who couldn’t be more accommodating! "

"Folly in Governor's Harbour
Folly is a lovely old home in great condition. It is well cared for, very comfortable,up to date. Sitting on the front porch is wonderful, the view of the water, the Cay, sunsets.
The home is a few steps from grocery stores, etc. One can walk across the island in 15 minutes to French Leave beach. And you can walk to the Friday night fish fry in a few minutes.
Martha, the gracious owner is always available to help in any way."

"Vacation at Folly
Recently stayed at Folly for two weeks. We were pleased to get the house because it was a last minute booking and they are pet friendly. The location is ideal being in the center of "town" and in close vicinity to restaurants and quick drive to the beaches. The house is an older Victorian house that although charming, is in need of renovating. "
Nov 22, 2021 - Catherine G., Ft Lauderdale, FL



"Responsive staff.
The Folly house is in a great spot in Governors Harbor. We had amazing sunsets from the front porch. The house was built in 1850 and was supper cool. Everything was in good shape except one of the ceiling fans and an AC unit. The staff was all over it and fixed the problem. The location is really handy to a food and beverage stores. Best of luck to all people that choose this great property. "
