About this house rental

Fond Memories is a beautifully appointed 2-bedroom 2.5-bathroom villa, located on the hilltop of Governor's Harbour, and overlooking the harbour waters in the distance below. This contemporary property is part of the distinguished Governor's Harbour Collection, a select group of top-tier rentals in central Eleuthera.

The ground floor of Fond Memories is open planned and spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances and a kitchen island with counter-top seating. The main dining area (with seating for 6) is perfect for family dinners or for entertaining, while the comfortable sitting and living area, with its beautifully custom-built entertainment unit and Cable/Smart TV, is a wonderful space to relax and unwind after a day exploring the island! The ground floor also has a powder room.

Both bedrooms at Fond Memories are located upstairs and include en-suite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom features a King bed and the second bedroom contains two twin beds that easily covert to a second King, with plush mattress topper. An additional single cot style bed (with inflatable mattress) can be added to this room for a 5th guest.

The outdoor deck on the upstairs level at Fond Memories offers beautiful views of the idyllic harbor below and is a wonderful place to unwind with a glass of wine while watching the sun go down. Downstairs, there is an outdoor patio with table and chairs - a lovely spot for al-fresco dining, while enjoying the tropical, landscaped garden.

At Fond Memories, we aim to provide our guests with an eco-friendly rental experience. All cleaning is done using only plant-based, chemical free products that are not tested on animals (including disinfecting all hard surfaces between rentals). We use LED light bulbs to reduce energy consumption, and provide our guests with recycled paper supplies (paper towels, toilet paper), as well as reusable grocery bags.

Amenities include A/C throughout, SMART TV with cable plan and Netflix included plus Apple TV, high-speed internet with WiFi, a printer/scanner for business needs, Sonos system with iPad, smart phone (with local service and data plan), laundry room with Washer/Dryer, Bluetooth speaker, and a gas grill. A new, in-ground pool and garden deck was recently completely, and at the guest's option the pool can be heated for a fee of $250 per week.

Beach towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and cooler bag are also included with the rental.

For parents travelling with infants and young toddlers, Fond Memories does include a pack n' play with mattress topper and high-chair for your convenience.

Fond Memories can be rented along with other homes on Governors Estate to accommodate larger groups. Daily housekeeping, private chef, and other concierge services are always available on the estate for an additional charge.

The town of Governors Harbour, a three-minute walk down the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor.

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, is a weekly street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street until late!

Fond Memories was a highlight of our stay in Eleuthera. The property manager was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and offered great tips and information for our first time on the island. The house had everything we needed and an enormous selection of kitchen and bar supplies. The pool is small but lovely, beds were super comfortable, and there were so many great little details. Checkout was very easy. Thanks for a great time!

Fond Memories exceeded all expectations! Bright, immaculately clean, well-appointed kitchen (so many tea towels, drawers fully stocked with any gadget necessary- all bases covered), beautiful decor, nice linens. The pool was such a nice addition- so inviting after a day in saltwater. Joy and Dom were wonderful hosts.

We had a great stay at Fond Memories. The house & property exceeded expectations. Joy was easy to communicate with & made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including a 2nd King bed. The house was full of conveniences & thoughtfull touches, inlcuding Ipad with Blue tooth speakers, all kitchenware & appliances. We found the house very clean & well decorated with comfortable feeling of home. We enjoyed the pool to unwind, after long days at the beach in the sun. I would highly recommend Fond memories to anyone looking for a great place to stay. We hope to visit again soon.

At long last!
At long last!
I first visited Eleuthera 25 years ago, and had been wanting to come and stay in Governor's Harbour since then. This dream trip was planned three years ago, and due to Covid had to be postponed twice. The disappointment was bad enough, but the property manager, Joy, could not have been more helpful with the rebooking. So eventually, we got there! And the house did not disappoint. Everything, and I mean every detail, was perfect. This is a two bedroom cottage with ample living space, a pool, and beautiful garden. Stylishly done on the inside, and done with high quality fittings (kitchen stuff, lovely bed linen, towels, great picnic equipment, plenty of places for charging devices--everything has been thought out). Joy and Dom were perfect hosts. There were some goodies in the kitchen to welcome us and both were on hand to answer the inevitable questions. I give Joy and Dom as high marks as I give the house :-) They recommended a car rental agency -- Marsha -- which just fit the bill. A fantastic holiday. We will be back.
