Om dette overnattingsstedet

Historisk havkapteins hus, gå til byen og stranden

  • LOVINGLY RESTORED SEA CAPTAIN'S HOUSE I VENNLIG, HISTORISK REGERNES HAVN

    En hvit hakk og gjengetrær hilser deg velkommen til dette elegante 19. århundrehjemmet, som ligger i en rolig gate blant andre koloniale hus i den historiske guvernørens havn, Bahamas opprinnelige hovedstad.

    Tamarind er bygget av kaptein John Bethel av 'Sloop John B' berømmelse, og er et luftig, fire-roms hjem som sover opptil åtte gjester i komfort. Den har et oppusset kjøkken med frokostbord, samt en egen spisestue. Også nede er en stue og et andre oppholdsrom som vi kaller telefonrommet. Tamarind hadde ett soverom nede med to enkeltsenger som kan konverteres til en konge seng. Det er også et komplett bad i underetasjen samt en nydelig og privat utendørs dusj.

    Ovenpå er det tre flere soverom, to med to senger som kan konvertere til king size-senger, og en med en king size-seng. Det er et komplett bad ovenpå.


    Du vil også nyte wrap-around verandaen og privat tilbake patio, perfekt for soling eller underholdende.

    Tamarind er dekorert med antikviteter i landet, gressmatter, takvifter og smakfull kunst. Den romslige hagen er fylt med tropiske blomstrende planter og frukttrær. Familien vår har gjort sitt ytterste for å opprettholde den sjarmerende nåden til dette historiske hjemmet.

    Fra Tamarind er du bare noen få skritt fra sentrum og den søvnige havnen, med sine flotte buktestrender og båter ved anker. Du er også en ti minutters spasertur eller kort kjøretur til en av Karibias mest spektakulære strender. En og en halv mil halvmåne av rosa pulversand, beskyttet av et levende barriererev, med utallige nyanser av turkis, grønt og blått vann som strekker seg til horisonten.

    Fasiliteter inkluderer WIFI og kabel-TV. Alle rommene har aircondition.

    Byen og øya

    Governor's Harbour er en liten, rolig by på Family Island of Eleuthera, og tilbyr en samling av karakteristiske koloniale hjem, historiske kirker og fargerike bamamske bygninger. Den naturlige skjønnheten til Eleuthera overskrides kun av nåde og varme fra folket, en primær grunn til feriepar og familier kommer igjen og igjen til dette øysamfunnet.

    Du finner alle tjenestene du trenger i byen; dagligvarebutikker, gavebutikker, postkontor, banker, bensinstasjon, dykkebutikk, butikk og bakeri. Det er også flere gode lokale restauranter å velge mellom, og noen få fargerike lokale barer.

    I tillegg inkluderer regelmessige ukentlige arrangementer i byen en fisk yngel de fleste fredag kveld på en av havnenes strender, og et lørdag morgen kunst og håndverk program for barn på det historiske Haynes biblioteket. De fleste av disse fasilitetene er innen lett gangavstand fra Tamarind.

    Det er ingen kasinoer eller prangende nattklubber på Eleuthera: de lokale Bahamians foretrekker en mer sakt, avslappet atmosfære.

    Øya Eleuthera er 110 miles lang og gjennomsnittlig bare to miles bred. Guvernørens havn ligger midt i Eleuthera, noe som gjør dagsturer lett. Hele øya er ringet av strendene i verdensklasse, hvorav noen vil ha alt for deg selv.

    Det er mange interessante bosetninger opp og ned på øya. I tillegg vil du kunne nyte fabelaktig fiske (dyphavet og beinfiske), snorkling og dykking, golf og tennis. Eller du kan bare slappe av på verandaen med en god bok fra Tamarinds bibliotek.

Enjoyable stay in a heritage property

Well situated property in a quiet neighbourhood, with easy access to the harbour and a short walk to the nearest beach. It was a pleasure to stay in this generously equipped, spacious historic colonial house. Highly recommended.

May Getaway with Family

Loved this great big antique house with large rooms and comfortable furniture (especially the beds) and proximity to beautiful beaches, restaurants, stores and bayfront. House had everything you need and property manager was very easy to work with and helpful. Really liked sitting out on the porches in the mornings and evenings and enjoying the lovely yard and foliage. Overall it was a fantastic stay.

Anecdote to Winter

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thoroughly charming. Our vacation was exactly what we hoped for. Quiet, comfortable and low key. The French Leave beach is spectacular!The house is, as stated, charming, and very comfortable. The property is really pretty and perfectly located if you want to avoid renting a car.The house is little run down and could use some upgrading but definitely clean. I hesitate to criticize - the house is 150 years old and on an island in the middle of the ocean - but the bathrooms are in need of repair and hot water would be nice.If you are looking for a four or five star vacation you will have to look elsewhere on Eleuthera and pay accordingly. We loved it!

A great home away from home

My cousin, my 1 year old and my 3 year old stayed at this property for 9 days. I would highly recommend it. The house itself is extremely well appointed, and the pictures don't do it justice. There is an enormous yard, a shaded front/side porch and a back veranda for eating. Inside the house, the kitchen has everything that you could need, the ceilings are high and it is quite spacious. One warning: light sleepers beware! The roosters are LOUD and start as early as 3am. Also, the house is old so on windy nights there can be a bit of rattling. That said, after one VERY windy night where things were rattling all over the place, I mentioned this difficulty to Angelika, the property manager. She had somebody there within hours to batten down the hatches. Speaking of Angelika--she could not have been more helpful or responsive. She saved the day for us on several occasions, always making it seem as though we weren't being a nuisance. Really great customer service. The house was a short walk into town, but a longer walk (about 20 min) to the beach. Most people rent cars, which we did for 2 of the 9 days. We got a good workout every day, that's for sure. French leave beach is lovely, once you get past the seaweed. We were often on that amazing beach alone. Crazy. One thing that we didn't come across until the end, which would have been good to know in advance: there is a really big grocery store with tons of different kinds of foods at Rock Sound. My cousin is a vegan, and there wasn't so much at the Governor's Harbour grocery stores. Nick, the owner, was very easy to deal with throughout the booking process, and was helpful in providing us with information.

Wonderful Governors Island Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am so grateful for the wonderful experience that Tamarind House provided recently. For those of us that treasure history, Tamarind House a wonderful and gracious old home, tastefully decorated with period furnishings, but one that has received much love and updates since it was built. Its convenient location allowed us to explore the length and breadth the island, with each beach more beautiful and unspoiled than the next, fresh fish straight from fisherman, amazing natural elements, and elegant or casual dining. Unmatched above all are the kindness of the local Bahamians; I hope I will have the privilege to return to Tamarind House again one day. Sincerely, Bonnie

An Eleuthera Gem

History is preserved amidst updated amenities at the well-appointed Tamarind House, located on spacious grounds in central Governors’ Harbour. Walking distance from shops and restaurants (including the fun and lively Buccaneers’ Club) and a longer, but reasonable walk to French Leave beach, Tamarind offers a quiet and comfortable sanctuary, a bit rustic around the edges but in a way that preserves its historic qualities. The well-appointed kitchen (we made Christmas dinner there), airy bedrooms and thoughtful, personal decor; a lovely verandah, outdoor shower, and eclectic library all provide a setting for relaxed, leisurely appreciation of this beautiful island. We appreciated the respect for the home’s history evident in the owners’ choices and also the excellent support of the property manager and staff managing the rental. Overall the experience was like being welcomed by friends into a home they graciously share. A special place.

GO HERE!! The most authentic island experience.

My book group ladies travelled to this island for a week away and WOW were we glad we did! Just a puddle jumper further than the touristy Nassau, we were met with chrystal clear turquoise water, friendly locals and a relaxed, authentic vibe. The rental property was breezy and spacious. Clean, and in great shape. We especially enjoyed the beautiful trees and colorful flora in the gardens. The bedrooms were comfy and clean. There was a courtyard (with outdoor shower!) perfect for a simple fresh breakfast, afternoon nap or evening cocktails. A beautiful Captains house just a short walk to the harbor. Here you won't find fancy poolside service, crowded beaches or expensive shopping. A day trip to Harbour island is easily accessible for shopping or snorkeling. Come if you want to join the friendly locals at a neighborhood Friday night fish fry, deserted white sand beaches and a feeling that you are REALLY away. A few of my favorite memories: a 4 mile run from the house on beautiful French leaf beach each morning, meeting a young man who was climbing trees cutting down coconuts- happily handing us one cut open so we can enjoy the yummy nectar, and swimming with our very own dolphin – true! At Surf beach a short drive from the house- she safely swam with us for 30 minutes. I will always remember the look on the girls faces! MAGICAL!

Amazing Getaway for our family

This place was truly magical! We stayed here for a family vacation and the place could not have been more perfect for our family! It was romantic, beautiful, and in an amazing location. If we travel back to this area we will definitely be staying at the Tamarind House again. We would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling in this area!

Gracious Old World Living!

I loved staying at this beautifully designed and spacious home on the island of Eleuthra. It has the most delightful veranda for sitting in any weather. The scents wafting in from the beautiful trees and shrubs that surround this property are exquisite. Sleeping with the windows open to the warm night air was terrific for my dreams and late nights listening to music and playing games in the comfortably appointed living room didn't hurt either! I was pleasantly surprised by the full selection of cooking utensils available in the kitchen and appreciated the laundry line for drying beach towels and suits. Don't miss the wonderful outdoor shower! This house is beautifully situated in town just up from the ocean and I enjoyed heading down to the waterfront to see if freshly caught fish was available on several afternoons. Eleuthra has so much to explore (beaches, caves, and restaurants were our favs) and this house is centrally located. I highly recommend it.

This was our 1st trip to Eleuthera and the Tamarind House ended up being the perfect choice for us. Centrally located, walking distance to store, restaurants, Club Med Beach (Club Med is long gone), The Beach House (some of the best food on the island) and the Harbour Friday Fish Fry. We kept looking at VRBO's on the beach but this meant we needed a car 24/7, stock up on groceries, etc., and this property made the stay so easy. One day we could go south and another north, we only had a car for 2 days out of 10. Also, was somewhat of a working trip for my wife and I as we both have online businesses so WiFi was an absolute necessity. The size of the home, large deck and huge kitchen made our stay very comforatable. And with the local daily fish catch, I cooked conch and grouper almost every day. We highly recommend this property. Oh, and Nick could not be helpful. Robert & Sandra

Delightful and Perfect

We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days for our daughter's wedding. Tamarind was recommended to us by the groom and he was so right in suggesting we stay. The rooms were warm and inviting and there was plenty of room for the five of us as well as visitors from the wedding party who stopped by as they were staying at Squires Estate right across the street. Cross breezes were always present and we were very comfortable. The owner emailed us details and suggestions. We had a great time! Eleuthera is beautiful and so is Tamarind.

Wonderful Historic Villa

Just spent a 4-day get-a-way at Tamarind House to introduce our family to the island - their first visit.. It's a great introduction to Eleuthera for first time visitors. Located within walking distance of all amenities in Governors Harbor. The house is steeped in colonial history. Our family included our 92-year old father-in-law who felt right at home and catered to, spending his days doing water colors of the house and nearby beaches. Some of the beach villas are fine, but being in a historic village setting has a certain charm - roosters in the morning and neighbor children's voices, a short walk to the historic Haines Library and, of course, the Friday night fish fry. Can't say enough good about the place. You may find less expensive, but none nicer.

Wonderful Introduction to Eleuthera!

We have been to Governor's Harbour 5 times now, and have visited Tamarind House three times. In our most recent visit to Tamarind House, we were able to enjoy the brand new living room, dining room, and veranda furniture, as well as the updated kitchen. If you are new to Eleuthera, this is the perfect place to start (and to return). The house is well located in town, with easy access to the Atlantic and Caribbean sides of the island. It's easy to pick up groceries, get to the liquor store, pick up fresh fish from the dock (literally at the end of the street), walk down to the library, and/or attend the Friday fish-fry. The house itself is a romantic home, set among other pretty homes, on a hillside setting. Although large, it is cozy, as there is always a place to escape to, whether the wraparound veranda, the living room or the sunny courtyard. It everything you would expect of a historic home. We found it to be child-friendly and very relaxing. The owners are wonderful and very helpful. This rental is a great value. We highly recommend Tamarind House!

Tropical Delight!

If you are looking for beautiful beaches, delightful people and an authentic Captain's house, the Tamarind is the the place to be. It was within walking distance of the town center and harbour, which by the way was so clear you could swim in and watch the local fishermen. Locally run shops and restaurants add to the charm of this place and the local folks were super friendly. Friday night fish fry with music can't be beat. there are several beaches within walking distance, but we rented a car to explore the rest of this little known island. The house itself was terrific, plenty of room, beds comfy with a nice courtyard and porch to hang out on. Recommend highly to all ages and this will be the spot we stay when we return to the island.

Lovely and comfortable home - full of character and great atmosphere

For anyone who prefers experiencing a community from a home base to resort living, Tamarind is perfect. A lovely and spacious historic house with terrific views and an easy walk to everything in town, it is a relaxing and beautiful spot to stay. The house is comfortable and nicely equipped and it's easy to pick up a good although not wide array of food and other essentials at the grocery store, the bakery, the organic market, and from the daily fishing catch, among other places. There are lots of things to do, including gorgeous beaches and tasty restaurants, but the tourist infrastructure is not extensive so you have to be happy charting your own way (which we enjoy!) and not expect late model cars and tourist buses. We will definitely return.

The Perfect Island Getaway

We've stayed at Tamarind House three times--what a unique and romantic experience! It's a beautifully furnished and meticulously cared for home with an island feel that immediately puts you in a vacation frame of mind. We took morning walks into town for fresh pastries, had our coffee on the back patio, enjoyed long walks on the beach, lunched at a restaurant right on the beach, relaxed on the front porch with cocktails, and dined on fish we caught (or bought) that morning. What more can I say? I wish I were back there right now! The beach deserves special mention because it's a nearly deserted stretch of the most delicate sand and picturesque surroundings. You can snorkel coral reefs right off the beach or find shade in the palm trees. We loved the laid-back island culture of Governor's Harbour. It's not your typical resort hotel surrounding with tacky shops. Governor's Harbour has quaint restaurants, bars, and stores, without the crowds and mark-ups, and where the vacationers and townspeople mix together. The owners were incredibly helpful with all of our questions as we planned the trip. Enjoy!
