Estate Home w/Sea & Sunset Views, Private Pool, Walk to Restaurants

Welcome to Indigo House, a beautifully appointed home on the hill above Governors Harbour, Eleuthera. Indigo has spectacular harbor and sea views, and is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the pink sands of world famous French Leave Beach.

Indigo has a large private swimming pool, three outdoor dining areas, and a harbor-view terrace, a perfect location to watch the sun set over the Caribbean. The main upper level of Indigo House features spectacular harbour views from all major rooms. It contains a large foyer and an open-plan living and dining room elegantly furnished from Restoration Hardware. The spacious living room has ample lounge seating, and an office area furnished with a vintage desk. The dining room features a 15-foot table with seating for up to 18. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances (all new!), including a five-burner gas range, and provides counter seating for three.

The master bedroom, also on the upper level of the house, has a king bed and beautiful harbour views. A second king bedroom on the upper level overlooks the pool and gardens. Each has a full bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The lower level has a second spacious living room that opens onto a covered terrace leading down to the lush tropical gardens. There is a full kitchen downstairs for guests' convenience. The downstairs level has two bedrooms, one king (plus a single day bed) and one queen, each with a full bathroom. There is also a sofa bed in the downstairs living room. With the day bed and the sofa bed, Indigo can sleep up to 10 guests.

A tropical garden surrounds charming Indigo House. Amenities include air conditioning throughout, ceiling fans in every room, washer and dryer, STARLINK super-fast high speed internet, TV, iPod dock, a landline telephone, gas grill, water filtration system, and a bicycle.

The town of Governors Harbour, a two-minute walk down the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

Walking down the hill in the other direction takes you to French Leave Beach, the finest beach on the island and one of the great beaches of the hemisphere. By foot, it’s less than ten minutes to French Leave, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that is usually deserted. Most visitors to Eleuthera rent a car during their stay, because the island is rural and spread out, and a car is the only practical way to get around. By car, Indigo House is just a minute from French Leave Beach.

Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is completely safe any time of the day or night. Enjoy the rare experience of picking up hitch-hikers and leaving your keys in the car wherever you go. 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, bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for excursions of various types, including fishing. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore.

Rate for the first 8 guests. Add $50/night for each additional guest in excess of 8.

The home is beautifully maintained and furnished. Love the rugs and pillows. Very comfortable. The bedrooms had good mattresses and plenty of room for our clothes in drawers. The refrigerator had some welcome goodies. The pool is amazing! Thank you very much!

Independence Day vacation
My husband & I, our 4 adult kids & their friends stayed at the Indigo house July 4th week. The check in process was super easy. When I called Elizabeth to let her know we arrived early, she hurried up to the house to meet us & ensured the house was ready. Elizabeth was super sweet & gracious enough to give us a tour of every corner of the house & gave us advice on things to do. The house was a perfect size for our family of 9 adults & we spent a lot of time relaxing in the gorgeous pool. The upstairs in the house was very nice & true to the pics online. But, the downstairs looked outdated a bit. The house & kitchen is fully stocked w/anything you would need to prepare a meal. However, the gas stove/oven upstairs needs some work. The burners were hit or miss and only one worked really well. We never used the oven upstairs as the letters/numbers were rubbed off the knobs & replaced w/paint that wasn't recognizable. Although Elizabeth advised us to take a pic of the knobs to know where to turn them back to, we just chose not to chance it because it was so confusing. Other than the stove, my biggest complaint was the dishwasher that did NOT work. This was very important to me since our family was so big. I really didn't want to hand wash everything on vaction & honestly would've felt more comfortable sanitizing all the dishes in a dishwasher. Overall, we had a wonderful stay & the house was great. But for the cost & size of our family a fully functioning kitchen is key

Fabulous villa in Governor's Harbour
We had another great trip to Eleuthera. Indigo House was perfect for our family. The kids loved the pool and my wife and I loved the terrace looking out over Governor’s Harbour. What a great spot to sit and read a book, enjoy lunch or have a drink before dinner. The central location was great for visiting our favorite spots all over the island. The house was well appointed (just as advertised on Homeaway), everything in the house was in good working order, and it was well furnished. It felt very much like staying at a friends home. The caretaker Mark and housekeeper Elizabeth were both very pleasant and helpful. My wife declared Indigo House her favorite out of the 8 houses we have rented over the last 11 years visiting Eleuthera, so there is a good chance we may be back some time in the future. The owners were very easy to deal with and Matt and Tara from Eleuthera Vacation Rentals helped with arrangements and checked to see we were settled in comfortably.
