3/BR 3/BA Character home in Governors Harbour!

Mrs Russell’s House is an artistic blend of the historic and contemporary — a delightful house dating back to the early 1800s.

Ample living area, with beautiful pool and deck overlooking Governors Harbour. A short walk down the hill gets you to the heart of town, with restaurants, grocery supply stores, coffee shops, fresh fish, and more all right on your doorstep.

The space
Mrs. Russell’s House has three full-size bedrooms. Two feature king-sized beds and the third has twin beds. There are 3 modern bathrooms with showers.

The house has a large formal living room, dining room with seating for six, and a fully equipped island kitchen with a gas cook-top and modern appliances.

Mrs. Russell’s estate is surrounded by a lush garden that is home to many fruit trees, bougainvillea, hibiscus, aloe, and coconut palms. The shared estate pool is the perfect place to relax, with the pool deck fielding views of the harbour, which add to the delight of the well-manicured grounds.

Amenities include flat-screen cable TV, air conditioning, ceiling fan, wireless internet, hi-fi stereo, washer/dryer, and off-street parking.

Bahamian paradise
House was perfect! Very happy with the great location of this rental, it was convenient to everything with many spots within walking distance. Patrick was an excellent host and very accommodating; he is a wealth of knowledge for the area, should definitely catch up with him in the beginning of the trip it would not have been the same without his help! We will definitely be back!

Annual 4 day trip to Eleuthera
We booked this house and paid in full about 11 months ahead of the stay. Communications were excellent. The house was well equipped and we liked the fact that bottled water was supplied. The pool was great but note that it is shared. The beach chairs and towels were very useful. Overall the house was great, comfortable and well equipped. We noted two small down sides, one is the early morning roosters, which of course are outside of the owners control. The second was a couple of people coming up the steps looking in the windows from the house below while we were relaxing and eating, they didn’t seem to respect privacy

Pure comfort, perfect location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was exactly as shown. Very good communication prior to and during our visit. Great information as well for what to do and where to go, with great recommendations for beaches, restaurants, shopping. It was wonderful to have all the beach gear available including chairs, umbrella and cooler-which we used almost every day! The location can’t be beat-a 5 minute walk or less to groceries, restaurants, coffee. While you can see the water from the property, the beach is in the other direction and requires a short 4 minute drive due to some steep hills while lugging beach gear. All in all, we were quite comfortable on our vacation, had access to anything we needed and we will be back!

Heavenly Bahamas Getaway
We didn't want to leave Mrs. Russell's house! A charming house with all the modern conveniences nestled in a lovely property with beautiful gardens and in walking distance to The Buccaneer Club. Truly, could not have picked a better spot in Governor's Harbour. Thank you Joy and Dominic for all of your insights and assistance. Our family will be back!

Well appointed adorable rental
The house was perfect for my family of 4, plus dog. It is adorable! I think the property managers do an excellent job. The house was ready for our last-minute booking. I also liked how basics like toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, and coffee (and filters) were provided. It’s nice to not have to do a huge grocery store run on arrival. Thank you for our great stay!
