Things To Do in Governors Harbour

For most people who make the trip to Eleuthera, the island of freedom, they come for its peace and serenity -- that feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world. One of the best things about Eleuthera is that you'll almost always have a beach to yourself. And the sand is pink! You can go swimming and snorkeling and see stingrays and other aquatic life here. The Glass Window Bridge is one of the coolest spots to visit on the island. The Ocean Hole is a spot you'll never forget.. read more

"Excellent!
The house is beautiful, clean, and well kept. The walk to the beach is very short and convenient. The area around the home is quiet and safe. The proximity to governors harbor is close, there are several good restaurants and a pretty well stocked grocery store. The distance from governors harbor airport is about an hour and fifteen minutes, but it’s not a bad drive. The beach is beautiful and very private. The private pool was also great. We had it to ourselves the entire time. Carol is a pleasure and very helpful. I cannot say anything negative about our stay! Thank you having us!!"

"Gumbo Limbo is perfect!
From the moment we arrived we knew the house would be perfect. Beautiful, very clean and plenty of room for eight of us! The pool was always clean and inviting. Everything we could have needed for the beach and pool was available. Beach access was very easy to get to and so close. We used the kayak a few times! Location was the best. Close to the market, liquor store, gift shop, coffee shop, and beaches of course. Our property manager, Carol, was so kind and welcoming. She was quick to help us with any problems! Overall, this was the best family vacation we have been on, and it’s partly due to the wonderful house we called home for the week!!"

"Gumbo Limbo has everything you need!!
House is very nice and spacious. Literally has everything you need for the week. We loved it. Generator was amazing! Had clean water all of the time. Carol and Pamela were always so helpful!! Pool was nice. Only thing is that you have to walk up and down lots of steps to get to the beach. Definitely would stay again!"

"Perfect paradise get away.
The Gumbo Limbo house was perfect in every way for our family and friends. The location is great. Right in the middle of the island. Easy to get to. Local grocery stores and places to eat. The house was so clean and the towels and bedding smelled to good. We loved the access to the beautiful beach. The house also had great amenities with the pool and the beach chairs and kayaks down by the beach. It was also a very private location so quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend the house and the great staff at . They were on top of everything and helpful for whatever we needed and easy to reach and work with. "

"Gumbo Limbo!
My wife and I and two friends stayed here for eight days at Gumbo Limbo and everything is as advertised in the description and in the pictures. The house was well stocked with all the kitchen essentials, it also has plenty of beach towels and beach equipment. The location on Banks Road is excellent and it is just a short one to two minute walk to the beach from the house. The pool, with its lush, tropical setting, is very peaceful and quiet. The Eleuthera Vacation Rentals staff is always excellent to deal with (shout out to Carol!) and they will always take care of you. I would not hesitate to book this house for your next vacation!"

"Amazing home in great location!
We had such a pleasant experience at Gumbo Limbo. Carol (the property manager) was so incredible. She was responsive, kind and quick to communicate regarding any questions or concerns. The house was such a fun home, the pool and generator also made our stay enjoyable."

"Luxury & Comfort
We enjoyed a much needed, restful stay at Gumbo Limbo. After 10 days we were sad to be leaving what we decided was the a top 2 vacation house experience we’ve ever had!!

Everything was perfect, from the location, the heated pool, the cleanliness.
But what set this house apart from many other homes we have stayed in was the amazing comfort throughout the house.

From the bed, to the various seating throughout the inside of the house.
But our favorite spot was the covered outdoor porch with com, high quality seating. A+!

The beach was across the street and the house had many beach chairs and accessories.

We highly recommend this home and will be back!

"Incredible Experience with Gumbo Limbo!
What an incredible house! The master bed is incredibly comfortable, the house is well stocked with anything you need, the layout is perfect for a family, and the house was incredibly clean! Carol... she's amazing! The location you simply cannot beat (near Tippy's, the beach, a few minutes from other restaurants). We highly recommend and will be back! "

"Gumbo Linda Eleuthera
Great house for a family! Well maintained, good layout, wonderful beach! We were very happy with the space."

"Had a great time at Gumbo Limbo!
Gumbo Limbo was a great place for our family to stay in Eleuthera. It’s just down the road from Tippy’s which was a good place to eat. We really wanted to stay more central on the island, near Governor’s Harbour because we knew we’d be doing activities all over the entire island. Gumbo Limbo was positioned well - near Governor’s, close to Palmetto, within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. The house has a beautiful beach just across the road, to include kayaks, snorkel gear, beach chairs, etc. The house was super clean - Carol takes care of the place. She’s incredibly sweet and welcoming; she does a great job! Etienne did the yard/garden work and he’s also a good dude. Good internet, clean water, good kitchen setup, comfy beds and furniture. I could go on. We have no complaints whatsoever about this place!"

"Fantastic brand new house with everyting you need
Carol (the property manager) was exceptional. Briefed us fully on everything at the house and showed us everything we could possibly need. The house is fully equipped with everything to make the stay as hassle free and as fun as possible.
Everything was well organised and clean, and our stay there was comfortable.

The beach across the street is stunning and easily accessible, I just regret we didn't get to try the kayak's that were available to us."

"Gumbo Limbo Review 2020
Beautifully appointed. Clean. Amanda the property manager was friendly, prompt and arrived immediately when we encountered a small problem at the home. I would recommend Gumbo Limbo. It is not beach front but you can see the ocean from the front porch and it is a short walk to the beach and to Tippy’s. "

"Great house
Beautifully built home with everything we needed.
Very clean and well stocked with towels and kitchen ware.

"Perfection
This is our fourth Easter on Eleuthera and our stay at Ocean Trace was the best by far. The house was clean, fresh, spacious and and perfectly comfortable for our family of 5. To sum it up, what makes this property a stand out are these three factors...The amazing wrap around porch where you'll sit for hours dining or lounging, a two minute walk to the most beautiful beach and a 5 minute drive in any direction to the best restaurants and charming town of Governors Harbor.
We loved this house so much that we have already booked it for next year."
Apr 25, 2019 - Rachel M., Wayne, Pa



"Perfect Location, Perfect Trip!
Our family recently stayed at Ocean Trace. The property was clean, well kept and very comfortable. The house was conveniently located and provided us with opportunity to explore the island. Groceries, restaurants and many beaches, all within a short drive. Great local beach access. The short walk to French Leave was very safe and easy."
Apr 11, 2019 - Steve M., Farmington, UT



"Ocean Trace Perfect Beach House
Great house across the street from the most beautiful beach! Walking distance to Tippy’s ! Fun restaurant and bar right on the beach. The house is clean, well stocked and so pretty. It has a great deck to lounge, and outside shower. This was our 2nd time back to Ocean Trace. We’re going back!"
Mar 14, 2019 - Laura B.



"Christmas in Eleuthera
We spent Christmas week at Ocean Trace and it was perfect. The house is furnished beautifully and spacious enough for the 6 of us. The grandkids loved the beach which was a short walk across the street. After searching 4 or 5 snorkeling spots, we found our beach to be the best! Restaurants were good but very expensive!"

"Clean, comfortable and convenient!
Ocean Trace was the first of two rental homes my friends and I stayed in during our visit to Eleuthera. What a nice, clean welcome Ocean Trace provided. The home is spacious, bright, cool and clean. A home away from home. We did not want for anything in this well-equipped and comfortably furnished home. We had easy to access Wi-Fi, cable TV, movies, games and every appliance and item of cookware you could want. An added bonus is the expansive decking around the home. The deck furniture is comfortable and gives plenty of cover from the sun.

Arnold and Patsy greeted us warmly and took their time giving us a tour of the home and orienting us to the location. Speaking of location; Ocean Trace is a short walk (basically the edge of the property) to a deeded path and wood steps down to the beach. If you feel like taking a longer walk up Banks Road or the beach you will find a well-established restaurant and bar called Tippys. Ocean Trace is located only a short drive to the town of Governors Harbour which has everything you need; grocery stores, gas station, bakery, liquor stores, restaurants, etc. An easy trip that we ended up doing daily for one thing or another.

Of course, the beach (the main thing we come to Eleuthera for) is incredible. The beach is clean, quiet and absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the relative solitude and found every passerby to be friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Trace and would recommend this home for a comfortable vacation stay. This home is perfect for a family or two with children as the 3rd bedroom offers bunks that will sleep four.

The staff at , Pam, Matt & Tara, will be honest and helpful in determining if Ocean Trace is the right fit. I hope it will be and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. "

"Ocean Trace
Very convenient location for a family vacation. The house was exactly as described and the property was clean and well-maintained. As a family we give it 2 thumbs up."
Apr 12, 2018 - Dave W.



"A wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful stay at Ocean Trace with our three teens. The house is modern and the kitchen is well equipped (we were even able to bake a cake!). The house is situated on a quiet spot and one can hear the ocean through the open windows. It is a VERY short walk to the ocean and we actually liked being a bit away since it gave us added privacy. Arnold and Patsy (who takes care of the house) were waiting for us when we arrived, even though our flight was late and we didn't arrive till late. They genuinely cared and made sure we had all we needed. The owners clearly care about the house and it is well maintained. Banks Rd is close to Governors Harbor, if one needs any groceries, and the beaches are some of the best on the island with plenty of swimming, snorkling, and walking. This is our new favorite spot in Eleuthera!"
