Escape to the secluded luxury of Dream House…your very own private tropical paradise offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the deserted beach below.

Leave the cares of the world behind you. Push open the expansive sliding glass doors and step outside. Breathe in the sweet fresh ocean air. Allow yourself to be the soothed by the tropical breezes and the gentle rhythms of the surf below.

Start your day sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee from your expansive glass-railed deck. Then follow your footsteps down to the soft pink sands of your secluded beach. Wade into the rejuvenating seawater or wander in solitude along your pristine beach. Rinse off under your seaside shower, then plunge into the soothing heated saltwater of your private pool. (A pool heat fee of $350 per week applies if you would like the pool heated.)

After a leisurely pool-side breakfast, don your snorkel and fins and explore the coral reefs just beyond your beach. Or soak up the sun while escaping into the pages of that special book you have been saving. After lunch, take a leisurely float in your secluded pool or nap under the dappled shade of a palm tree.

In the evening enjoy preparing your dinner in your beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen. Listen to your favorite tunes from the rich stereo of your Sonos Bluetooth speakers all while looking out over the ever-changing seas. Marvel at the spectacular island sunset over cocktails. Dine under the stars, savoring freshly caught seafood, grilled to perfection on your gas grill and locally-grown organic veggies all delicately seasoned with herbs snipped from your very own organic herb garden. Or…let yourself be pampered… book an ocean-side table at one of the world-class restaurants (just a short drive away) and dance the night away to the live rhythms of Island music.

After dinner relax in the living room on your Italian leather sofa, while catching glimpses of passing cruise ships off in the distance. Then head down to the lower level and enjoy a movie on your 55” Roku TV from your luxurious reclining La-z-boy sofa. Or, opt for the seclusion of your expansive Master suite and watch your 48” Roku TV in the comfort of your premium-quality king-size bed.

Just before you head off to dreamland, tiptoe outside and let the last remnants of stress dissolve away while gazing up at the billions of stars twinkling above. Then crawl between your silky sheets and drift off into a deep and restorative sleep lulled by the gentle sea breezes and rhythmic surf below. Dreams really can come true.

Nearby Activities in Governors Harbour

Governor's Harbour is the main town on the island of Eleuthera, with a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is safe and friendly. 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 and bikes. There is excellent sightseeing, as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, and a bottomless ocean hole.

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

"Stunning beach!
House was clean, great layout, very functional. The property manager was very responsive. The beach is absolutely stunning! The location was great. We ordered cocktails delivered by Cocojo’s and they were amazing, highly recommend. And we had chef Brenda who was awesome! "

"Best Family Beach Vacation!!!
We had a FANTASTIC family vacation at the Dream House in Eleuthera! Pam and the team gave us great tips on what to do and where to go. Our favorite memories were simply going to the beach right outside our house to snorkel, play frisbee in the beautiful turquoise water, and walk along the beach. Lots of great food in the area including the Friday Fish fry in Governor’s Harbor. Would love to go back one day soon!"

"Great property
We have been renting along Banks Road in Gov Harbour about twice a year for nearly 8 years. We've rented many great homes and love the island and location.
Dream House is now one of our favorite rentals of all time. The rental is superb, with a fantastic property manager (Tennille) who is very accessible and well connected.

-Advantages of the home relative to other properties: Home interior and exterior are wonderful, and modern. The view is nearly unmatched - just spectacular. Pool is clean and in a great location for the home. Amenities in the home are excellent and suitable for couples or a family of all ages.

-Items to consider, we really had zero criticisms of the entire experience: an auto is required. Any vehicle can navigate the access road, but less experienced drivers may prefer an SUV of any size. The road is bumpy, but relatively short, and further creates a nice private setting removed from the road. Auto rentals are required of any home rental on Eleuthera, really. Kean Stubbs is someone we've used for years - very reliable and accessible.
-The path from the beach to the home is not ideal for elderly or physically challenged individuals. The path is not overly difficult and not really dissimilar from many staircases that are typical for beach access from these homes. A few homes have a flat, short access and would be more appropriate for older or those needing a flatter/simpler access.

In summary, this is a fantastic rental on Banks Road with a very desirable location, an exceptional property and views. 5 stars all around!

"Beautiful House and View!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week long peaceful stay at the DreamHouse. The home is gorgeous with stunning views of the ocean and a quick walk down the path to the beach. The home is well appointed with everything that we needed, comfortable and clean. The location was great for exploring up and down the coast. One of my favorite rentals and excellent communication booking as well as with the property manager. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Family get away
The house and beach were amazing. House was clean and ready for our arrival and stay. Great snorkeling right in front of the house. Treated to a great lasagna dinner for the first night. Would definitely recommend the house with a few caveats: the road to house from Banks road is basically a two track and recommend a SUV to get there. Also the path from the house to the beach is not a simple trek - it's steeper and longer than expected, it would be difficult for seniors or anyone with walking difficulties. "

"Disappointing
Dream House

We have been traveling to the Bahama out islands for more than 30 years by private plane. Eleuthera being one of our favorite islands and Governor’s Harbor one of the best place to stay without all the hassle of commercial aviation (or use to be anyway). We recently rented a beautiful home in the Harbour with spectacular views. However, what should have been a 5 Star Review was at best a 3.
The home itself is beautiful, * BUT *
1. The coffee maker described as grid and brew was NOT a grinder.
2. None of the TV’s worked in the entire house the entire week. (missed the Super Bowl).
3. The grout on the pool is breaking off everywhere and falling into the pool
4. The oven did not work (maintenance man came after 3 days)
5. Lots of burned out lights in the home no replacement bulbs.
6. The outside grill is worn out and rusted, will not heat up and needs replaced.
7. Outside deck tables are rusted, needs painted and cleaned .
8. Very few kitchen supplies but ample dishes, utensils, pot and pans.
9. Sign says rise off before using pool * pvc shower pipes are broken so the shower sprays water in every direction.

However, the house manager went above and beyond to try and fix things. She even brought us her personal Firestick for the TV’s but nothing worked. Another friend she had tried to get TV’s to function but nope, nothing helped.
*** This home could be quite special but the complete lack of upkeep by the owner is beyond disappointing for what they charge. This has been one of the most stressful and frustrating rentals ever from . “I will be asking for a partial refund because of the poor condition (NO TV) and obvious inaccuracies on the description of the house.”

"Family Vacation
Very clean house. Views from the deck are amazing. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Nice having children sand toys, beach chairs and a cooler to use. Lasagna you left us for dinner was a nice touch too. Would rent again if I ever came back!"

"This property deserves its title as ‘DreamHouse'
Excellent accommodations in a surreal locality. All home accessories were perfectly represented & exceeded our expectations. We experienced fantastic communication with . Extra thankful for the delicious veggie lasagna upon arrival. The close proximity to Tippy’s & La Bougainvillea Restaurants was spectacular. Island Farm provided the most delicious fresh produce & groceries we’ve experienced in our many trips to the Bahamas. Overall, an immaculately maintained property accented by the most beautiful island scenery! Looking forward to returning in the future."

"Dream Vacation
This house was amazing. It was very secluded and the view was stunning. The beach was beautiful and we were able to hang in the ocean every day and use the pool as well. There was a dinner provided on arrival day which was amazing after a long day of traveling. We used grocery delivery and the house manager had everything put away when we arrived. We would certainly stay here again and recommend. This home was more than we could have dreamed of for our trip!"
Oct 30, 2023 - Theresa P., Eureka, Missouri



"Best vacation!
This house was amazing. It was immaculate when we arrived, and that had made us a Lasanga so we didn’t have to worry about dinner after a long day of travel. We spent one calm day snorkeling right off of our beach, and there were so many fish!! The view was amazing as well, and the pool refreshing after a long hot day on the beach. We will definitely be staying here again. "

"Solid, but not perfect
Maybe I’m being a little critical because apparently most others rated this property perfect, but I will attempt to give an honest review. The pros: Pam, the management team, the view, the beach access, and the location are all excellent. Anytime we had a question the team was professional and extremely fast to respond. We enjoyed the view and beach all week. The cons: the property needs some attention. The walls/baseboards have been marked up in a lot of spots, several cracked floor tiles, kitchen cabinets with obvious cracks, pool tiles are in terrible condition, patio furniture is worn (far from luxury as described), upstairs patio table is broken underneath, and several bath towels with brown stains. People are hard on rentals and we completely understand, but to say this property is a perfect five stars is a stretch. We would still recommend the property as non of the cons are deal breakers and the view/location/overall cleanliness are solid. Overall, we had a great week, but were some what let down by the condition of the home."

"Dream House
No worries here. Great home, location, and all around experience. Will be back again. "

"Dream house is dreamy!
Dream House is the perfect get away for three couples wanting a quiet place to enjoy sun and sand, hang out and cook meals. 15 minutes from Governor's Harbour means its easy to go out to the excellent local restaurants too."

"Dream Vacation at the Dream House
Outstanding experience at the Dream House!!

The house is more beautiful in person than what you see in the pictures. The view of the beach and ocean from the deck is incredible. When I sent the pictures to friends they thought they were fake because via is that stunning.

The house is perfectly maintained and having Tennille to assist was great. The lasagna was so nice to have for dinner on our first night after a long day of travel that started early in the morning. The kitchen in the house was stocked with everything we needed to cook some great meals and we found a couple of farmer's markets close by that had a nice assortment of fruits, vegetables and seafood to cook. We found the best places to eat were Tippy's and La Bougainvillea. The house was the perfect mix of adventure and luxury. I highly recommend a stay at the Dream House."
Mar 27, 2023 - Phillip B., Cleveland Heights, OH



"Amazing Dream House Vacation!
This was the best vacation house we’ve stayed in to date! The views are amazing the house is immaculate and well appointed, a perfect beach and the privacy was all beyond our expectations. The lasagna on the first night was amazing, thank you for that! We loved the quietness of the island and truly felt like a local for the week, without the hustle and bustle of a busy resort island. The wealth of local information was definitely a great help, I cannot say about good things about this property and the caretakers. We are already looking to book again! Thank you for sharing your Dream house, we look forward to coming back!"

"Perfect stay
Very comfortable and clean house. Beautiful views and awesome deck Nice size pool. Beach and water arebeautiful. Would recommend bringing frozen meat for the grill. Eleuthera is a heaven of beautiful empty beaches and friendly people. "

"Stunning views - perfect setting
This home was immaculate and the pool, deck and beach were the highlights. Coffee in the a.m. and wine at sunset on this gorgeous desk was wonderful. Mile long beach was flat and beautiful"

"Peaceful And Private
Our family throughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Dream House! The only regrets was having to pack up and leave. Waking up to the gorgeous un restricted views of the Atlantic each morning and not enduring any noise or light pollution at night was everything we had hoped for when wanting to get away. We only saw three people on the beach our entire stay. Our kids enjoyed playing in some downed trees along the shoreline. It was good imaginative play all week for them. The property manager Tennielle and staff checked in on our first evening with a delicious meal that held us over for two nights. This was a great touch as we traveled during the off season and was trying to think of dining options for the night. The road leading up to the house was a bit bumpy but nothing our small suv couldn’t handle. We enjoyed the rough roads actually. It added to the adventure. After this stay, we are highly considering making Eleuthera an annual trip (hopefully this location). Everything was perfect. Thanks for being wonderful hosts. "
Oct 29, 2022 - Adam B., Oviedo, Florida



"Great location
The spot was perfect for what we wanted - no other people. Beach was great, water is perfect at this spot. House manager was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We had several hiccups with the house and she handled everythinf."

"Amazing Vacation in Dream House
We are a family of 6 adults and we stayed for 2 weeks. Plenty of room for all 6 of us. Individual adjustable air conditioning in all 3 bedrooms. Air conditioning in main living/kitchen area but it did get a bit warm during the day. Loved having the private beach right in front of us. A bit of a climb but only took about 2 minutes to walk up the hill. Pool was great especially after a day at the beach. The manager, Tenielle, was quick to answer any questions we had. Driving on Eleuthera is an experience in itself but we loved the adventure. Tippy's is a about a 10 minute drive away and we loved the food. We took a full day excursion with Uncle Rob Adventures and we would highly recommend him. Would stay at Dream house in a heart beat and it surpassed all our expectations."
Aug 08, 2022 - Janice R., Edmonton, Alberta



"Paradise!
This house surpassed expectations. The home is very clean and beautiful but the real star is the view and nearly private beach. We honestly couldn't believe how beautiful it was. We snorkeled right in our own back yard many days. The house does sit high on the hill (which is why the view is so spectacular) so be aware that it is a pretty steep walk to and from the beach. We loved every second of our stay and hope to one day return! Many thanks to Tennielle for the great communication and hospitality!"
Jun 22, 2022 - Kate M.



"Beautiful Views
Beautiful views from this awesome house on the beach. Very clean with all the amenities. Awesome house manager, Tennell, was always available to address any questions or issues. She even kindly offered to take our family photos. Warning: it is a steep hike down to the beach. We are hikers and didn't mind it but those who are not might find it challenging. "

"The perfect getaway
We spent a wonderful week at the appropriately named Dream House. The house is beautiful, well appointed, fully stocked, and perfectly located on a beautiful beach. We hope to return again and again!"

"Fantastic House
We had 4 adults staying in the Dream House. The House was spacious and had a incredible view. The walk down to the beach looked harder than it was and the walk up was definitely worth it because the beach for absolutely the beach beach around!!! We seen maybe 5 people on our beach in the whole week we stayed. The coral on our beach was so pretty. We ate out twice a day and our favorite places to eat were Daddy Joes, 1648, Tippys. Tips if it’s raining and your own the beach don’t leave just wait it out it’s worth it!! The only think I wish this house had was more towels!! I washed them daily to have a fresh towels each day. The lady that took care of the house was so sweet and made sure we were good during our stay! I would suggest if you get this house you have a high clearance vehicle. We had a Jeep and it was perfect. The holes in the road definitely got worse the more it rained which was daily but once again the drive was worth it to get to this house!! Make sure you put bug spray on daily morning and evenings even if you don’t want to. I got bug bites up and down my legs and they itch. One last thing book at boat tour with Uncle Robs Great Adventures best boat operator in the island. His knowledge as a local is unmatched! He does pick up on the north end of the island but it’s so worth the drive!!! Also when you need a covid test go to the Governors Harbor library. Those ladies are so nice and speedy!! "

"A Dream It Was
We recently stayed at Dream House and couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. Pam at was very helpful throughout the process. We want to sincerely thank the property owners for their patience and flexibility during COVID. Tenielle was a gracious host and extremely responsive. We had a couple very minor issues upon check in and she resolved everything quickly. The lasagna was delicious and so welcome for dinner the first night after travel, and for a second meal too.
The house is so beautiful with to die for views. We had everything we needed-paper towel, toilet paper, garbage bags, coffee filters, hand soap, shampoo & body wash in all bathrooms. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The kitchen had every pot, pan, bowl, utensil you will need.
Tippy’s and La Bougainvillea restaurants are both very close by.
The road to the house from Banks Road is a dirt road and a little bumpy but that adds to the authenticity, charm and privacy. The walk down to the beach is steep and could be challenging for those with mobility issues but was absolutely fine for us, we welcomed the exercise. The beach is very private, we saw 8 people walk by during our entire stay.
We would, without a doubt, recommend this property and will be back again!!"

"Winter Getaway
Great property on a gorgeous lot. House is exceptional: immaculate, well appointed, and beautiful. We enjoyed the beach and snorkeling every day. Night one Lasagna was a wonderful surprise and saved us from cooking or going out after traveling. Highly recommend this property for anyone fleeing the winter doldrums!"

"Paradise Escape
Myself, my husband and our twin 4 year olds had a wonderful time at the Dream House. The house was beautiful, clean and Tennille was Extremely helpful! The kids loved being steps away from the pool and beach and my husband loved the privacy and seclusion while still being able to try out some great places to eat! Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy this great house to celebrate our 5th anniversary and my 40th birthday! "

"Loved The Dream House! Perfect 10!
The Dream house did not disappoint!

The setting is truly incredible, overlooking the Atlantic. Waters and sand like you have never seen. The view never gets old.

We are a family of 4 with two kids, 11 and 8. They loved the pool and swam in it everyday. At times the pool water was chilly, at other times is was perfect. We did find a couple blow up floaties in the garage. We would take the quick 60 second walk to the beach to play in the waves at high tide or walk as far as we wanted.

The house is the perfect size for a family of 4. But we could also see two families being comfortable there.

We ordered groceries ahead of time and they were there when we arrived. Tennielle was very helpful and would quickly respond to my text messages with questions. The house is stocked with plenty of kitchenware. There were a couple spices on hand, but you may want to order the necessities when you arrive. No oil or cooking spray, so get that. There was a drawer of 5-8 sun screens. But you still probably want to bring your favorite.

The drive off Banks Rd to the house is a bit rugged, but nothing that our Honda CRV couldn't handle.

The overall location is awesome. Banks Rd was such a fun drive when coming to and from Governors Harbour. We easily drove to Ten Bay Beach which was incredible. Drove back up to Genes Dock for a boat excursion. (we did find some water shoes in the garage for adults, but still best to bring your own for adventures.) We drove down to Tarpum Bay, but everything there was closed (off season). La Bougainvillea, which is basically next door, was a great meal. Then we hit 1648 Restaurant in the French Leave resort, also very good. The other local staples were closed because we were there off season, we knew this though and that wasnt a big deal.

The Dream House is truly a place we believe we could come back to again. If you like modern architecture, and incredible beaches, this is the spot!

"Dream Vacation
Our family of four just got back from a wonderful week at Dream House. It was such a comfortable and clean house. Pam was fantastic working with us through COVID the year prior, and giving helpful information when asked as we neared the trip. The place is so great that we didn't need anything, but Tennille was available and wonderful as well! It's a beautiful piece of property, perfect pool, and the house layout is fantastic. It is a work out coming back up from the beach, but after having so many good island cocktails at some of the local restaurants, the exercise was welcomed! It is also well worth the privacy that gives on the pool & deck, as well as the unparalleled views! This was our 2nd trip to Eleuthera & we will book Dream House again for sure for our 3rd. There is so much to do on this beautiful island, but I also can't imagine a better place to do nothing and relax, so it was always a bit of a debate whether to explore or stay at the house. That is a good problem to have though! "

"Heaven on the Beach
House was more than we expected, very clean, light and well appointed. Staff was very accommodating and quick to respond with the few items we needed. Photos do not do the property and view justice - truly a spectacular property with privacy and yet close enough to Governor's Harbor & Palmetto Point to make shopping and dining out easy. Highly recommended."

"Gorgeous Home with Incredible Views!
Great vacation in a beautiful, well equipped home. The view from the house is spectacular with a pristine beach down the path from the house. The snorkeling off the beach is decent, but we had quite a bit of wind while there. So nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas since we were flying in. Tennielle, our property manager was great and takes special care of the house. Everyone from the pool maintenance and lawn care staff was professional and courtesy. This is a beautiful house in a great location on an amazing island. Don't wait to visit!"

"A Dream!
This truly is a dream house! Spotless! Even the glass railings were spotless. This 3 bedroom 3 bathroom is a very well thought out space. The furnishings, decor great. Appliances in great shape, easy to use. Well stocked kitchen. Outdoor shower! Housekeeper Teninelle couldn’t have been nicer and the lasagna from Denise delicious! The path to beach might be a challenge for older people (80 year olds) but we had no problem! Great location and super easy to get into Governor’s Harbor. Love this place!!! And did i mention the views? A dream!
Restaurants we really enjoyed: Bougainvillea’s ( Chef Maria was amazing) she also is the caterer for Pineapple Catering, which we did one night as well. Tippys, The Sunset Beach Grill, and traveling in we stopped at The Rock grocery store restaurant and wow! Amanda was so nice and welcoming to the island! Still have time here and restaurants to try...."

"Definitely a Dreamhouse
Had a wonderful time in this beautiful property overlooking the Atlantic ocean. The house was immaculate and our hosts even provided a delicious lasagna for our arrival! Definitely merits a return visit."

"Nice House
The rental home is beautiful and is in a great location. We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch and watching the waves crash and the wind blow through the palm trees. The only downside is the pool is not heated and was quite cold and the cleaning of the home before we arrived was subpar. We couldnt walk on the floor with bare feet because they would turn black. "

"Perfect House for a Perfect Dream Vacation
Dream House is a perfect location on the island. This was our 2nd trip to Eleuthera and the house met every need we had to have a perfect vacation. The owners have thought of everything. The house is on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. We went to several other beaches but preferred the one at the house. The sand is so soft and pink. We saw a stingray swimming gracefully and then a lionfish with several other fish when snorkeling. We found several beautiful shells and sea glass. The views from the living area are something out of a travelers book and most amazing to look at every day while there. The sliding doors and screens are high quality and kept the bugs out. It was very pleasant to leave the doors open with screens shut so we could hear the ocean and not worry about noseeums. The house was spacious and perfect for our family of 5 adults. The beds are very comfortable with extra pillows. With each room having it's own AC control, everyone was happily content sleeping. The power went out for about 10 seconds. The generator kicked on. We did not know we were on generator because everything worked including the AC. We only knew because the property manager called to check in and make sure everything was working. The property manager was so pleasant and took care of any needs we had. The pictures of this house look amazing but do not show how really amazing it is. We were not disappointed and you will not be either.

We went during a time of Covid restrictions. As far as being on the island, we felt very safe with the protocols put in place. Most restaurants are take out only or closed. However, the chef at Da Perk Coffee Shop, Horacio, fixed us anything we asked for and delivered to us for a reasonable price. La Bougainvillea was also open for lunch and dinner.

Eleuthera is a beautiful island with friendly people. Do not hesitate to book this property for your dream vacation. You will not be disappointed!"

"Dream House
Dream House was a dream. Everything about the house, beach and location is amazing! Easy to get into town but also feels worlds away. The views from the deck are stunning. It’s great having a choice between a pool and the beach. Plenty of space for everybody to stretch out. The TV room downstairs is great for movies at night."

"Happy Repeat Guests
When we first stayed at Dream House in 2019 as one of its first guests, we were delighted with the property, its location, and excellent support through . It is an exciting entrance into the house! After returning home, we booked for June 2020.

This 2020 trip was our ninth year on Eleuthera and we know and love this Island. With the disruption of COVID, plans were continually altered and adjustments to our schedule were made for a July/August stay.

Dream House continues to be a comfortable and modern house perched on the bluff with a wall of windows taking in the gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean. The house is very comfortable and well maintained. We travel with just immediately family so we do not use its maximum space, so for us, the privacy and common areas are ideal.

I would note that the walk to the beach is down a fairly steep sand switchback which does not present any challenges for us, but may be a consideration for others.

Of note, a hurricane swept through during our stay and the house was solid. 2020 trip was full of adventures!

Our family plans on continuing to stay at Dream House and certainly recommends this property.

Kudos to Matthew Simon of who I believe does not sleep!"

"Dream vacation at Dream House
Dream House was everything as advertised. The house was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare home cooked meals. Coffee on the deck every morning and cocktails on the deck every evening were like an out of body experience. The views from the house and deck are breathtaking and never get old. Having individual climate control for each bedroom allowed everyone to have their own comfortable temperature in their bedroom for sleeping comfortably.

We used the pool and/or beach everyday. We also spent some afternoons at close by beach locations that were shallow and calm (Ten Bay, Savanna Sound and Cocodimama) Ten Bay was our favorite.

We ate breakfast and most lunches at the house and split dinner between eating at the house and going out. Don't miss the fish fry on Friday evenings at Governor's Harbour (they also have grilled chicken and pork chops if you're not into fried fish).

The house is located on the top of the hill so it's a bit of a climb coming up from the beach. The path from the house to the beach is wide and well groomed. The beach is gorgeous and virtually private. Just a few neighbors down the way also using the beach. The houses along this stretch of beach are spread out so even if others are on the beach they are a long ways away.

We highly recommend this house and are already planning our next visit to Eleuthera and renting Dream House!"

"Dream House in January
Just wanted to follow up on our stay at the Dream House Jan18-25th, we had a wonderful week! The house was incredible and the views were amazing from any direction. The house was clean, stocked and Tennielle , the property manager, was very helpful. We explored Eleuthera end to end as well as exploring the great beach right in front. We did not see anther person on most beaches we visited including the beach right out front! Kean Stubbs provided us with a nice little Jeep, which we put to use. We love Eleuthera and hope to return soon. Thanks for helping us have a great anniversary trip."

" Dream (come true) House does exist & it's Beautifully Dreamy!
WOW - it really is a Dream House!
The house, the pool, the views, the beach, the location, Tennielle.... From renting with Matthew Simon & team, the communication is prompt, clear and quick to respond. Tennielle was at the home to show us the home and had a wonderful surprise of lasagna and wine awaiting us! She too is quick to respond or check in if needed.
Dream House - clean, well equipped, comfy beds and sitting areas, full kitchen with great views (you never feel you are missing out).
Then the pool - just great for morning, noon or night (just watch the little biting buggers)!
The Beach - short path down to our private, beautiful and perfect escape and outdoor shower before enjoying the pool. Honestly a Dream House!
Tippy's just around the corner, town not far, great mid point to explore and the best was coming "Home" after the days adventures and waking up at "Home"!
Looking forward to staying at Dream House soon!!!"

"Awesome House!
We had the pleasure of staying at The Dream House over the New Year with our family of 6. If you are looking for a beautiful space to get away, have quality family time, shut down and relax, this is the perfect house!. Our beach was steps away and we spent many days enjoying the water without seeing another person. Tennille, the house manager, was so awesome. We had an issue with the water the afternoon of New Years eve and she was at the house 20 mins later and had a repair service there within the hour.

Regrettably, the pool heater was broken the entire week so we were not able to use the pool.

"Beautiful
We really enjoyed Dream House. Modern. Spacious. Private. The beach is a short walk down a sandy path. Landscaping is lovely. Living room is all views. Appreciated lasagna waiting for us after a day of travel.
Hard to find a rental this nice. Would love to return someday.

P.S. We rented a 4wd from Symone Neymour. Great customer service. "

"Dream House Eleuthera
Far beyond our expectations which were VERY high!!! Perfect, PERFECT!!
The beauty of the house and property were beyond description.
One note— until the drive is paved, get a 4WD rental. It’s steep and rocky.
The path to the (best ever) beach is steep. Toddlers and elderly, won’t like it.
But this rental is the best we have ever stayed in. Period. "

"Dream House... The name says it al!!!
The views from this home are breathtaking. The owners have designed the Dream House to maximize the beauty of the landscaping and long, expansive view of the ocean. The ultra-modern, open-concept floor plan provides never ending views, whether in the living room, dining area or kitchen - there are full glass walls and doors. The deck extends the entire length of the house, overlooking the ocean and then continues around to the pool area. The pool itself is salt water and very comfortable. We loved the LED lighting at night, which can be changed from white to blue, purple, or green. The lighting added to the overall attractiveness of the pool at night.

Inside the Dream House, every detail has been considered. The kitchen is spacious and fully stocked with any appliance you need. The bedrooms have adjustable lighting and individual air conditioning controls. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. I can say the the same about the sheets, covers and pillows. All seem to be of very high quality. Downstairs, there is another living area, bedroom, laundry room and an enormous bathroom. This level is where you will find books, games and a large screen television.

The beach is wonderful! This is our main reason for visiting Eleuthera - fantastic beaches! You will feel like you own a long stretch of private beach here. We occasionally saw other people in the distance.

Needless to say, we loved staying at the Dream House. From the moment we arrived, we knew we would not want to leave. We were warmly greeted by Tennille. David even arranged to have a lasagna prepared for our arrival. That was a great touch. Travel can be exhausting and we thoroughly appreciated this gesture.

We highly recommend the Dream House. Another quick but important note; the Dream House is equipped with solar and gas powered energy backups. We absolutely loved the Dream House and can’t wait to come back. Pam, Matt & Tara at EVR were a"

"Dream House... Dream Location
I rarely write reviews, but for this property I felt inspired to write. I am very picky about where I stay. Dream House is amazing. I think it is in the perfect location on Eleuthera. Beautiful beach and close to everything that we like. This brand new home is perched about 80 feet above the ocean so you can sit in A/C and look through oh goodness, maybe 50 windows that overlook the ocean. Or sit outside on the porch It is so beautiful.

We have been to Eleuthera many times and this is our favorite home to stay in. The doors that lock with a keypad are amazing so you never have to worry about carrying the key down to the beach. The Sonos sound system is easy and sounds wonderful. Games for the kids to play and they watched some fun movies on the big TV’s.

The people renting the house next-door had four power outages. This home has a generator so if the power goes off, you still have power. We never had power outages! The A/C was great!

Upon arrival, the owner provided somebody who made a beautiful dish of lasagna for us. It was so good! It was there freshly baked for our family to enjoy. The owner has info on several private chefs, we used one & she was amazing.

The kitchen is fully stocked & they have a fresh water drinking machine that was really nice! All the bathrooms have these huge mirrors with LED lighting around the perimeter, very nice.

There’s a freshwater swimming pool that we all loved! We have two small children and after a day at the beach we would come up and jump in the pool to enjoy the freshwater before we came inside. The pool is amazing, perfect size.

There’s a huge balcony that overlooks the ocean across the entire back of the house where you can sit and overlook the ocean. The balcony is surrounded by glass railings that are really nice. It is all so pretty and new. We loved it.

We made many family memories here at the Dream House that we will "

"Spectacular!
Wow - Dream House is spectacular! The home and all of the special design touches, the landscaping, the view, the beach - all amazing and high end!!! We easily became comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! We will be back!!!"
