About this house rental

Folly

Welcome to FOLLY!

One of the most beautiful Victorian Houses in Governors Harbour Eleuthera, with breathtaking views of the Harbour from sunrise to sunset. Sunset cocktails are an absolute must!!

The main town of Governor's Harbour, steps from our front door, has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a diving shop, and medical clinic. You can buy fresh fish every afternoon from fishermen at the town dock.

Friday Night Fish Fry in the Harbour is a street/beach party that brings all of the tourists and locals together with food, drinks, and dancing in the street. Something not to be missed… and you can walk.

Governors Harbour also has a beach on the harbor which you can see from the front of the house, and which you can walk to in two minutes.

Enjoy a beautiful night on the wrap around porch, dining alfresco and sipping cocktails while watching all the boats and activities.

FOLLY has been updated and features a large elegant living room with a gorgeous, open, sun-filled plan, overlooking the harbor and featuring light sheers for total privacy. This house also includes comfortable couches and a smart TV with cable and internet. There's also a crib. Folly has AC in every room.

The wonderful separate dining room sits 12 and is great for large gatherings and has beautiful sideboards for easy entertaining.

Folly is a lovely old home in great condition. It is well cared for, very comfortable,up to date. Sitting on the front porch is wonderful, the view of the water, the Cay, sunsets.
The home is a few steps from grocery stores, etc. One can walk across the island in 15 minutes to French Leave beach. And you can walk to the Friday night fish fry in a few minutes.
Martha, the gracious owner is always available to help in any way.

Fabulous Family Getaway House!
Fabulous Family Getaway House!
Excellent house for a large group, well appointed with everything you need including paper products, spices and linens. The sunsets from the front porch were spectacular! And one of the best things about the house was the owner, Martha, who couldn’t be more accommodating!
