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.
There is also a sitting room with a walk out to the private back terrace. The terrace includes an outdoor eating area, lounge chairs, and an outdoor shower. A wonderful space for garden parties with night lighting and beautiful tropical flowers. There is also a gas grill.
The stunning modern kitchen with an oversized island features open shelving and plenty of counter space. Note that it does not have a dishwasher. It is fully equipped with everything else a chef would need.
There is a full bath located on the main floor off the kitchen, which has a walk-in shower.
The second floor features 3 large bedrooms and a library which overlooks the Harbour.
Master/Main Bedroom - A dream retreat! This room features a queen size bed, closet, dresser, and a beautiful seating area for reading, with lots of natural light and wrap around windows.
Guest Bedroom 1 - Overlooks the Harbour, has 2 single beds that can be converted to a king, a closet and a dresser.
Guest Bedroom 2 - Overlooks the rear terrace, has a queen size bed, closet, and dresser. From this room, you can smell the wonderful night jasmine as you fall asleep.
There is one shared bathroom on this floor that is en-suite to the master and which the other two bedrooms can access from the hall. This full bath contains a shower/tub combination.
Off the back terrace, there is a separate guest suite with its own entrance. A great space with a king size bed, en-suite full bath with a shower/tub combination, and a small kitchenette with a toaster oven, coffee machine, small fridge, kettle, plates and glasses and utensils. There is no range or oven in the kitchenette.
FOLLY is situated in the heart of the main town so you can walk everywhere.
The glorious world-famous pink sand beaches of French Leave are a short picturesque 3 minute drive or a 15 minute walk.
The drive way can easily accommodate 5 cars.

Folly in Governor's Harbour
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!
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!
