Beachfront Home on Acre of Land, Walk for Miles on Pink Sand

Welcome to Aqua Vista, a 2-Bedroom 2 bath island style home located on the Banks Road south of Governors Harbour. Aqua Vista sits directly on a mile-long pink-sand beach, and has a private beach deck right on the dune. The shallow waters with sandy bottom allow for many entry points to enjoy the warm turquoise water for swimming or just wading waist deep and taking in the breathtaking views.

Enjoy the stunning Atlantic views from everywhere in your home as the layout of the interior allows every room to have a view. Take a stroll down from your spacious patio to the beachfront deck and enjoy a more up close and personal connection with the waves. The water in front of Aqua Vista provide s guests a unique snorkeling experience with endless shallow reefs teaming with aquatic life.

The ocean-view kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator/freezer, electric range and oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

The great room has spectacular ocean views. It is furnished with chairs, a sofa bed that can sleep two, and a flat screen TV.

Both bedrooms have a queen bed, an ocean view, and an en-suite full bath. One bedroom also has a sofa bed that can sleep 1 adult or two children.

Amenities include WIFI, AC, washer/dryer, TV but no cable, board games, bocci ball, charcoal BBQ, back-up generator, outdoor shower, back-up water tank and two paddle boards.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A HOUSE UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON THE PARCEL OF LAND NEXT DOOR TO AQUA VISTA.

The town of Palmetto Point is just a mile away. Palmetto Point is home to the popular Mate and Jenny’s restaurant, as well as several stores. La Bougainvillea Resort with its excellent restaurant and bar is also just a mile away. Tippy’s beachfront restaurant is a 5-minute drive.

A ten-minute drive takes you into Governors Harbor, the main town on the island. Governors Harbor has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster most afternoons from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbor has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbor, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.

Amazing Oceanfront House
This place was amazing!! We hated leaving the house for exploring because the house was so nice and wonderful to stay in. Our caretaker Charles was awesome and so helpful with everything! Even though we experienced some rough weather everything else was still amazing during our stay! Highly recommend staying here and highly recommend Charles!!

Just what we needed!
We were very happy with our visit to Buena Vista. The ocean right out front was beautiful. We had everything we needed in the house which was comfortable and close to restaurants and anything we needed. We would stay here again!

Nice location very quiet.
We enjoyed our stay overall. We wanted seclusion and we certainly got that. Nothing really within walking distance to do. We recommend owner supply a couple cheap bikes to use to get to restaurants. House is aging and needs work. Bathrooms are old. The deck by the ocean is falling apart. Broken stairs with large rusted nails, broken floor boards, no big deck umbrella. Some nice improvements include really great outdoor furniture at house and a great tv was added. New pics of house should be taken. Overall its nicer than the pics suggest but still, some work is needed. Caretakers Charlie assisted by Erika were both AMAZING!! Great people and our stay was near perfect because of them. The people on the island are wonderful. We did take a long walk to a restaurant/hotel a few miles away. Wonderful meal. The water is rough. I liked that better than soft bay water but I think the paddle boards are useless given how rough the water is. Maybe kayaks would be better. Definitely recommend bikes. Was disappointed though with the issue the island was experiencing with water. Water pressure for town water and the cistern was very low. Worst Ive ever experienced in any bahamas or caribbean island ive visited. 4 out of 5 stars.

Nice home right on beach
We had a wonderful time at this property. The house manager Charles went above and beyond to fix our water issue. We didn't hv water for 2 days due to the one side of cistern being empty. Charles came and fixed the problem as soon as he could figure it out! We also met the other people who take care of the property....Ericka and Scott. They stopped by to see if we needed anything and were some of the nicest people only! The only other hiccup we had was the wifi. There was none after 2-3 days. Our 2 teenagers weren't thrilled, but my husband and I could care less about this. We came to get away from everything and this was a great place to do it! I definitely think Charles needs a raise!!!
