About this house rental
Discover the family-island of Eleuthera in this beautiful, stone house - Hibiscus House of Wykee Estates. The house provides a perfect combination of classic Bahamian charm, and modern amenities. With less than a minute walk to the beach, and a pool shared by the few houses in the community, the Hibiscus House is your ideal getaway. The island, as well as the property, is very quiet. The house comes fully equipped with DirecTV, Wi-Fi, indoor/outdoor stereo system, washer & dryer, dishwasher, central air conditioning, etc.
Please inquire about monthly rates.
Special accommodations available for those with young children.
More Information on Hibiscus House:
The estate was built by Sir Roland Symonette, the first prime minister of the Bahamas, in the 1930s. The resort hideaway includes the Manor House and six stone cottages tucked in 80 acres of lush tropical gardens joined with a secluded pink sand beach. While keeping its lovely French doors and windows, the old stone cottage has been recently redecorated. It has a fantastic wrap-around screened porch furnished in redone vintage rattan for dining, relaxing or just enjoying the great view. The floors are now beautiful, cool, glazed tiles. The furniture is updated with fabrics in bright, Caribbean colors. The master bedroom with a new queen-size bed opens to the airy porch and a view of the ocean. The second bedroom with two new twin beds is decorated in yellows and blues. There are two renovated bathrooms. The house includes a great living room with ten+ foot ceilings and a fireplace. There is also a fully equipped updated kitchen with refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, small appliances, dishes, utensils, and a washing machine. There is a large separate dining room. The house has ceiling fans in every room. Unlike most Bahamian homes, the house has central air conditioning.

The spacious beach house is back from the beach by about two oother houses, but has a nice, if limited, ocean view. On the way to the beach is a really lovely swimming pool, open to the neighborahood. Then, crossing the beach access road and traversing the dunes is a stunning beach. They say it's pink sand ... well, if you squint. But the quality of the sand is superb, and the beach is 150 to 200 feet wide. You'd think the whole world would be there, but we had it mostl to ourselves. Best for folks who want to settle in, as island travel is quite challenging.

The Hibiscus house is in a great location- with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Caribbean. The pool is also very nice. We spent most of our time on the veranda, and the host was very responsive.

Very clean. Great central location. Beautiful porch. Quiet, relaxing neighborhood. Pool is large but there is no shade and no umbrellas. Lounge chairs are wood and very uncomfortable. If you go to pool, bring your own seating. Beach was a short walk. There was more glass and garbage than I have ever seen in 12 years of visiting this beautiful island. If you want to walk on beach you need tennis shoes. I would not want my kids going down or swimming in the water as it is clear glass bottles and garbage go in and out with the tide. If you know the island, then you know there are plenty more beaches to visit and swim at. This and the TV / Wi-Fi not working 5/7 days we’re the only drawbacks to the location. Since we don’t go to the island to watch TV, it was no big deal. People with kids might feel differently . Also, I am not suggesting that this property owner or manager are responsible for cleaning up the beach. I suspect a lot of it comes from the guests at the neighboring resort, young kids, etc.

This little cottage midway on the Atlantic side of Eleuthera just North of Governor’s Harbor is the perfect location to soak up sun and gentle breezes and from which to explore both the Atlantic and Caribbean beaches nearby. Enjoyed the modern conveniences and comfort of a charmingly decorated cottage, full of unique character with the sound of the ocean in the background.The screen porch was our favorite place to have our meals and relax with a good book. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. A truly memorable, relaxing stay. Great pool and lovely long stretch of beach almost to ourselves. Amazing!

The location of the property is great, 5 minute drive to Governor's Harbor. We enjoyed the pool and the beach areas. Every time we were at the pool we were the only people there. The beach is beautiful. We had 1 problem with internet service. We contacted Alexandra and were up and running in 10 minutes. Alexandra's communication was fantastic. We will be booking this property next year.

My husband, adult son, and my 8-year-old granddaughter just returned home from a wonderful vacation in Governor's Harbor. This beautiful home is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Just a short walk to the beach and a nearly private swimming pool, it was perfect for our family trip! Alexandra was very responsive to our questions and made some great recommendations. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in one of the most beautiful places in the world! The home was extremely clean, well appointed (loved the decor!), and close to restaurants and stores. Thank you, Alexandra, for being such a gracious host!

Photos are very accurate but looks better in person. Beautiful secluded beach 5 minute walk. Neighborhood pool never anyone in it. Pascals beach bar 5 minute walk. The bar tender, Semmy is my new best friend. 1648 French Leave restaurant is the best food you will find anywhere. Alex is simply the best communicator we have ever experienced on VRBO. Will we return......Hell yes!!!!!

Our time at Hibiscus House was out of this world. We love Eleuthera, and the location of Hibiscus is perfect - about 5 mins to the town of Governors Harbour, and less than 10 mins from GHB airport. The property is a short walk down to the beach and there’s a pool on the way! The house has everything you could need. We are a family of 5. Our 3 kids slept in the room that has 2 great daybeds that each fold out into king size beds - would be fine for 4 kids. The master is great - very comfortable, airy, bright and beachy. Our favourite spot to hang out was on the screened in porch- beautiful for morning coffees and evening cocktails! The kitchen was great and offered everything we needed - we ate in a lot! House came with great beach toys for kids and adults; umbrellas, beach chairs, and a cooler, which was a huge plus. Our host, Alex, was very attentive. What a great stay!!!

A Little Bit of Paradise
Sometimes all the stars align and you get a fantastic property and a great host at the same time. That's the case with Alexandra and Hibiscus. Alexandra was wonderful during our stay -- checking in, providing recommendations and making sure we were comfortable. And with Hibiscus fully stocked, it felt like we were visiting friends. We loved the screen porch, the landscaping, the birds which sang in the gumbo-limbo trees each morning, looking down through the palm trees at the blue blue water, enjoying miles of untouched beaches.... I could go on. The house itself was well laid out, tastefully decorated, very comfortable and felt fresh and clean. The yard was beautifully landscaped and it was a short walk to the pool and beach. This is a lovely, old-school compound that feels like a neighborhood and we enjoyed running into friends nearby and meeting others. We hope to return! Thank you so much!

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Hibiscus House. The house is charming, comfortable, super well equipped, very clean and we have no complaints whatsoever! The beach is a very short walk away (uphill on the way back). The beach is honestly FANTASTIC, one of the best we visited on the Island. The manager was very quick to respond any doubts or questions we had. Overall it was a great stay!
