✴4BR Luxury Home w/Pool & Golf Cart for Beach Use. Great for families & Groups!✴

The Yellow House is a large and elegant 4 bedroom home, designed in the Bahamian Colonial style, with living areas that open out to gracious wrap-around verandas, and a private swimming pool and outdoor dining area that offers the serenity of Eleuthera island life. This home is located at the top of the hill in central Governors Harbour, and is part of the distinguished Governors Harbour Collection of properties.

The ground floor of Yellow House features the great room and dining room, decorated with understated sophistication. The kitchen is large and modern, featuring stainless steel appliances and a custom-designed island – perfect for entertaining. There is a guest powder room on this level, and a beautifully furnished snug office space just below.

The Yellow House has a total of four bedrooms. All beds are dressed with plush duvet covers and luxury, hotel quality linens. The ground floor bedroom contains two twin beds that easily converts to a king with mattress topper. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor, including two with king beds and one with two double beds and a day bed. All four bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms.

A private balcony from one of the king-sized rooms offers views over the Atlantic Ocean. The other two second-floor bedrooms share a balcony and views of lovely, lush landscaping.

Amenities at Yellow House include high-speed WiFi (Starlink), a large flat screen SMART TV with basic Cable package in living room and a second flat screen SMART TV in the downstairs den, high-efficiency ductless AC units and ceiling fans in every room, a Sonos Bluetooth speaker, a spacious laundry room with large capacity washer and dryer, and off-street parking. There is a large gas grill and al-fresco dining area on the ground floor wrap-around veranda. A golf cart is provided for travelling to and from French Leave Beach, a short ride downhill from the property - *please see note regarding use below. There is also a full capacity generator for back-up power supply.

Private chefs and provisioning services, as well as other resources are always available for an additional charge, on request.

As with all Governor’s Collection properties, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella and several cooler bags are included with the rental of this property. There is also a 50 quart hard cooler, with wheels, provided. At the guest's option, the swimming pool can be heated for a fee of $350 per week.

An 8-minute walk down the hill leads to world-famous French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that has been ranked in the top 20 of the world. A 5-minute walk in the other direction takes you to the village of Governor’s Harbour, where you will find grocery stores, liquor stores, several restaurants and cafes, a bank (with ATM services), gift shops, and more!

We are pleased to offer guests the use of a new, electric 6 seater golf cart, with seat belts, for the short 2-3 minute drive downhill to French Leave Beach. Use of the vehicle is entirely optional, but we do ask for a security deposit of $1,000.00 from guests who choose to use it.

The deposit is collected ahead of arrival (please note on booking if you wish to have it included with your stay) and returned within 7 days of departure, provided the golf cart is returned in the same condition as it is received on arrival.

While not licensed for general road use, we find that the majority of our guests appreciate the convenience of having the golf cart for transporting beach chairs, the umbrella, cooler, and other essentials back and forth to the beach. It also enables members of the same family group to partake in various activities on any given vacation day.

The island of Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore.

Enjoyed our stay at the Yellow House July 2023. The home is updated and comfortable for our group of 7 adults (3 couples and 1 individual). The golf cart is perfect for the ride down to the Leave Beach that is beautiful. Great getaway for some R&R.

Great Experience
We had a great experience staying at the Yellow House! Unfortunately, the golf cart was not working while we were there, but it was located close enough to the beach, grocery, and restaurants that we were able to walk. I cannot recommend this property more if you are looking for a family spot near a almost private beach! 10/10!

The Yellow House
Great house, location and amenities. Very comfortable and back-up generator was greatly appreciated. Did not have golfcart for first few days, but a brand new cart was delivered for second half of our stay. A little miscommunication on the housekeeping service ( found out that you need to coordinate prior as service and dates are not pre-set). Overall, great home and great vacation. Highly recommend.

Friendly, responsive, we’ll appointed and perfect location
We have been coming to GH for years and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yellow House. Dominic and Joy were a pleasure to deal with and their knowledge and responsiveness were much appreciated. The house is clean, well furnished and well decorated. The electricity, satellite and wifi, which can be tricky in some houses were the best we have had in the Bahamas. The location is ideal and we would highly recommend staying at Yellow House. Thanks again for everything Dominic and Joy.

The Yellow House
The Yellow House is an excellent property centrally located in Governors Harbour near restaurants, shops, grocers, coffee shops, and beaches and is less than a one hour drive to the most distant island attractions. The house accommodated our family of 6 very well and included many small amenities that made our stay more enjoyable. Property Managers (Joy and Dominic) were great to work with and very accommodating.

All that we could have asked for...and more
The Yellow House is an amazing property, managed EXTREMELY well by Joy and Dominic and their team. It is spacious, luxurious, and has so many conveniences that made our stay enjoyable and relaxing. I would give this place (the Yellow House, Governor's Harbour, and Eleuthra Island) six stars (out of five) if I could.

A perfect family vacation spot
The Yellow House was the perfect "home base" for a family of 5...well-stocked kitchen, nice pool, washer/dryer, spacious bathrooms, and clean and comfortable beds. The golf cart was also a nice way to get to the beach. The nearby beach is a hidden gem - one of the best on the island in terms of beauty and relaxation. We also worked remotely and had no issues with Wi-Fi. Joy and Dom were extremely helpful and accommodating. Overall a wonderful experience that we will never forget!

I can't wait to come back
Had a fantastic stay at Yellow House. Dom and Joy were great hosts, checked us in quickly and showed us the ropes and were always around if we needed anything. The house was even more beautiful and spacious than in the pictures, and the location is perfect. Governor's Harbour is a great base on Eleuthera - about halfway down the island - and is close to restaurants and gas and groceries. We loved all the beaches we went to but French Leave - right down the road on the golf cart - was our favorite. The house came with umbrellas, chairs, coolers - everything we needed for a great beach week. Fully stocked kitchen, good wifi, great AC - really the perfect place to relax with friends for the week. The pool is great too! Can't say enough good things about Joy and Dom and the house, and about Eleuthera in general - warm people, gorgeous and empty beaches - the perfect house for the perfect vacation. Can't wait to return someday soon!

Wonderful week!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I've visited Eleuthera many times over the last 13 years and never stayed at one of the Coleman's properties and boy I will never make that mistake again. Everything about the experience was fabulous. The design of the house is very comfortable for a large group and well stocked with everything you need for a great week at the beach. The kitchen is well equipped, there are lots of extra bath and beach towels, plenty of beach chairs, and even coolers to take with you to the beach. The bathrooms also have shampoo, soap, and hair dryers so no need to pack any of that. The location is ideal to explore the island from top to bottom since you are centrally located and I enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants or hop in the golf cart to French Leave which is just a couple mins drive. Kathy, the owner, is a wonderful host and greeted us after we arrived to get us acquainted with the house and answer any questions we had about Eleuthera. She provided a complimentary lasagna, a couple bottles of wine, beer, and water which was there when we arrived. There is also a management team that is on call 24/7 for you if you have any problems which is very comforting. The property is beautifully maintained and has all the comforts of home. Eleuthera is a very special place but not for everyone. There are beautiful unspoiled and uncrowded beaches and wonderfully friendly and kind people here. What you won't find is chairs lining the beach with full service amenities. If you are looking for a wonderful dining experience, I suggest you contact Bacchus Fine Foods and schedule a night to have Angelica prepare a meal for you. Wonderful experience!!!

It went too quickly!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were 9 of us (two families- 4 adults and 5 kids ages 8-14) staying at Yellow House for the week. The house was perfect for us! We had two masters and the 5 kids each had their own beds in the other 2 bedrooms. It was so nice to have the pool for the late afternoons after being busy all day. The owner, Kathy, was very attentive. She met us after we arrived and went over some things in the house and made recommendations for different things we may need throughout the week. The house was very clean on arrival and the description of the house was perfect! It was decorated beautifully and we felt like we were guests in someone's house rather than being in a rental- it felt like home. It was well appointed and if we needed something, it was most likely at the house. We used the grill (worked great) several times and that was nice to keep the heat outside. The a/c units were very efficient. The golf cart was a very nice touch- just be sure not to leave the beach with the golf cart key so the rest of your party has to walk home an hour later! oops! We found that going north on French Leave Beach was well worth it. Instead of going straight when you see the blue, make a left and head down that dirt road. There was no one on that area of the beach and there was a little blow hole the kids enjoyed. The one thing we missed a bit was having an outdoor shower or hose to rinse off feet and legs after the beach- we just improvised and brought a bucket outside. All in all we absolutely loved our week at Yellow House. The time went way too quickly. We are all looking forward to our next visit!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the Yellow House for a girls trip. 10 days later we felt like we were leaving home. Kathy, Joy and Dom made sure from start to finish we had a stress free holiday. The house is beautiful inside and out. The area is safe and quiet. Very dark at night, which makes for amazing star gazing! Shopping was very convenient. We pre-ordered a cheese platter or our first night from Bacchus. It was so good we booked a private dinner later in the week. Great restaurants, 1648, Buccaneer's and Tippy's are all a short drive away. Beaches are beautiful and overall we found the island to be friendly and a joy to explore. Fish Fry Friday is not to be missed. We will be back to Eleuthera and the Yellow House! !

The kitchen is well appointed, all the bedrooms have comfy beds with luxurious linens. Lots of pool/beach towels and the golf cart to get to the beach. Nice pool with lots of floats. Kathy is an excellent hostess and took the time to see if she could assist with suggestions and local knowledge. All of the beaches are lovely and the locals are friendly and welcoming. Our group travels together every year and this house was one of our best in 21 years. We would recommend this location to anyone!

The property manager and owner could not have been more helpful. They went out of their way to anticipate our needs, reply to any questions/issues immediately and make spot on recommendations. The Governor's Harbour location is central on Eleuthera allowing exploration of the entire 110 gorgeous miles of island. Yellow House is a short distance from the conveniences of the town, the best restaurants in the area, the prettiest beach we have seen. It is a winner!

Simply awesome, close to village and French Leave
French Leave beach is just spectacular; big, empty, beautiful pink sand, fun rolling waves, snorkel off the beach and a 45 second golf cart ride back up on top of hill to our Bahamian beach house, fully equipped, accommodating 4 adults and 4 kids... in ground private pool, nice extra touch! Governors Harbour is a real cool village just down on the other side of the hill. Grocery store, hardware store, ATM, three of four spots to get the local brew, Kalik , a Goombay Smash or the Bucaneer at the Bucaneer... perfect. I nice little coffee shop too. Tippys (famous Eleuthera eating spot) is just down Banks Rd for a great night out. The harbor is also very cool, local fish can be purchased at the pier. Just an awesome spot! Kathy & Tom have really done a great job with their properties on to of the hill... real sweet spot! I am booking my week for next year right after I finish this post! There are a few homes to choose from up on the hill and they are all full, there are more options around the area... Eleuthera is fantastic!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the yellow house a great deal. Eleuthera was as charming as in our memories but a bit more chilly than usual and the surf was surprisingly rough. That’s why a heated pool would have been appreciated. I believe it is in the owner’s plans and will make sure it is functional next time around if we return during the colder months. Definitely, a house I would recommend without hesitation.

Beautiful home -- beautifully maintained!
Kathy and Bob Colman's Yellow House is a delightful property with a tasteful interior, ample bedrooms with large bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. And it comes with its own 6-person golf cart which we used a lot! The walk to town is easy, and the walk (or golf cart ride) to French Leave Beach is too. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful House in Eleuthera
We just arrived home from a wonderful week's stay at the Yellow House. Cathy was a great host with great recommendations and homemade lasagna and wine to welcome us on our first night. The house perfectly suited our group which consisted of four couples with an en suite bathroom in each spacious bedroom. We greatly enjoyed eating breakfast out by the pool in the morning and dining in the beautifully decorated great room in the evenings. The kitchen was one of the most well-equipped kitchens we have encountered in years of renting vacation homes. The laundry hut was a great extra along with the outdoor shower. We made great use of the beach chairs, floats, and umbrellas on our many visits to French Leave Beach which was a short walk or quick drive from the house. We were also able to walk into town. Recommendations: visit Fish Fry on Friday night for rum bubbas, conch salad, and fried fish; go on a charter with Manex and Ton of Coco Loba tours to catch your own fish and lobsters for dinner; enjoy conch fritters at the Buccaneer Club; have a beer seaside at Tippy's; take a trip to Rock Sound grocery store for all of your provisions; grab lunch at Banks Road Deli; get fresh bread and cinnamon buns at Island Farm on Tuesdays and Fridays (get there early!). This was a wonderful trip made that way by our great vacation home!

Perfect! Stay Here!
My extended family rented Yellow House and Sweet Corn House for 2 weeks over the holiday. We had 17 people total, ranging from 18 months to 85 years old, with parents, grown children, and teenagers in between. The houses are fabulous--well laid out with comfortable spaces to hang out, both inside and out; spacious bedrooms with nice bedding, comfortable mattresses, ensuite baths and individual air conditioning units; a well stocked kitchen; and inviting decor. Governor's Estates is ideally located at the top of the hill--to the west down the hill is an exquisite 3 mile long beach on the Atlantic coast, to the east down the hill is the small town of Governor's Harbour with a cafe/bar, a coffee shop, 2 small grocery stories, a bank, a gas station, and a couple of gift shops. Kathy and Bob are gracious hosts. They welcomed us with dinner and wine the first night, let us harvest greens from their garden, and provided insider tips on where to eat, shop, and hang out on the island. Matt, the rental agent, made the rental arrangements and travel planning effortless. We met wonderful people, enjoyed a snorkeling trip off Harbour Island, cliff jumped (even my 80 year old mother) off the rocks at Cupid's Cay, drove south to Lighthouse Beach and the blue hole, walked the Leon Levy nature preserve (just down the street), partied at the Friday night fish fry, queued up to make sure we were able to get freshly baked break and newly harvested produce from the Island Farm (a must), dined at Tippy's, Bacchus Fine Foods, and 1648; and frequented the Buccaneer Club for breakfast, lunch and dinner multiple times. It was the perfect blend--all the comforts of home in a beautiful natural paradise. Couldn't have imagined anything better.
