A propos de ce maisonrental
Historic Sea Captain's House, Walk to Town, Beach
MAISON DE CAPITAINE SEA RÉNOVÉE ET RESTAURÉE DANS UN PORT ADAPTÉ ET HISTORIQUE DU GOUVERNEUR
Une palissade blanche et des palmiers vous accueillent dans cette élégante maison du XIXe siècle nichée dans une rue calme parmi d'autres maisons coloniales de l'historique Governor's Harbour, la capitale des Bahamas.
Construit par le capitaine John Bethel de la gloire de «Sloop John B», Tamarind est une maison aérée de quatre chambres pouvant accueillir confortablement jusqu'à huit personnes. Il dispose d'une cuisine rénovée avec une table de petit-déjeuner et d'une salle à manger séparée. Également en bas se trouve un salon et un deuxième salon que nous appelons la salle de téléphone. Tamarind avait une chambre en bas avec des lits jumeaux pouvant être convertis en lit king. Il y a aussi une salle de bain complète au rez-de-chaussée ainsi qu'une belle douche extérieure privée.
À l'étage, il y a trois autres chambres, deux avec des lits jumeaux pouvant être convertis en lits king-size et une avec un lit king-size. Il y a une salle de bain complète à l'étage.
Vous apprécierez également la véranda panoramique et le patio arrière privé, parfaits pour prendre le soleil ou se divertir.
Tamarind est décoré d'antiquités de pays, de nattes d'herbe, de ventilateurs de plafond et d'œuvres d'art de bon goût. Son grand jardin est rempli de plantes à fleurs tropicales et d'arbres fruitiers. Notre famille a tout mis en œuvre pour maintenir la grâce charmante de cette demeure historique.
De Tamarind, vous êtes à quelques pas du centre-ville et du port endormi, avec ses jolies plages de criques et ses bateaux à l'ancre. Vous êtes également à dix minutes à pied ou à quelques minutes en voiture de l'une des plages les plus spectaculaires des Caraïbes. Un croissant de sable poudreux rose d'un kilomètre et demi, protégé par un récif-barrière vivant aux innombrables nuances de turquoise, de vert et de bleu qui s'étend à perte de vue.
Les installations comprennent WIFI et télévision par câble. Toutes les chambres sont climatisées.
LA VILLE ET L'ILE
Governor's Harbour est une petite ville tranquille située sur l'île familiale d'Eleuthera. Elle propose une collection de maisons coloniales distinctives, d'églises historiques et de bâtiments colorés des Bahamas. La beauté naturelle d’Eleuthera n’est dépassée que par la grâce et la chaleur de ses habitants, une des principales raisons pour lesquelles les couples et les familles en vacances reviennent encore et encore dans cette île.
Vous trouverez tous les services dont vous avez besoin en ville; épiceries, boutiques de cadeaux, bureau de poste, banques, station-service, magasin de plongée, magasin d’alcool et boulangerie. Vous trouverez également plusieurs bons restaurants locaux et quelques bars colorés.
En outre, les événements hebdomadaires réguliers en ville incluent un friture de poisson la plupart des vendredis soirs sur l'une des plages du port et un programme de bricolage le samedi matin pour les enfants à la bibliothèque historique de Haynes. La plupart de ces commodités sont facilement accessibles à pied de Tamarind.
Il n’ya pas de casinos ou de discothèques éclatantes à Eleuthera: les bahamiens locaux préfèrent une atmosphère plus calme et détendue.
L'île d'Eleuthera a une longueur de 110 km et une largeur moyenne de deux milles seulement. Governor's Harbour est situé au centre d'Eleuthera, ce qui facilite les excursions d'une journée. Toute l'île est entourée de plages de classe mondiale, dont certaines vous seront réservées.
Il y a beaucoup de colonies intéressantes en haut et en bas de l'île. De plus, vous pourrez profiter de fabuleuses activités de pêche (pêche hauturière et pêche aux os), de plongée en apnée et de plongée sous-marine, de golf et de tennis. Ou, vous pouvez simplement vous détendre sur la véranda avec un bon livre de la bibliothèque de Tamarind.

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.

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!

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

Tamarind is Magic
We could not have enjoyed our stay more. A beautiful and historic home, full of curated decor and a wonderful collection of books. Kitchen has everything you might need and more. A restorative and healing place, you will not regret booking!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Getting away from it all
We've returned to Tamarind numerous times as guests of the owner and have rented the house for our own use. The lonely beaches and snorkeling are world class, and the house is welcoming and comfortable reflecting the great style of the owners with respect of its historic status. It's a home - not a museum. Sipping drinks on the porch at sunset can't be beat.
