PRIVATE ESTATE ON PINK SAND BCH WITH PRIVATE POOL, WALK TO REST./BAR.

Welcome to Owl’s Roost. This private estate looks out over a pristine, mile-long pink-sand beach. Although totally secluded, Owl’s Roost is just a 5 minute walk down the beach from Pascale’s famous beachfront restaurant and bar. Governors Harbour, the main town on the island with other restaurants, bars, grocery stores, banks, gift shops, bakery and more, is five minutes away by car. From all the rooms in this house, the beach and ocean are everywhere. A new heated pool was completed in November 2022 with a marvelous view of our pink sand beach! You can see and hear the ocean as if you were standing on the beach. (There is a fee of $425 per week to heat the pool.)

PLEASE NOTE: WE LOVE CHILDREN, BUT OUR VERANDA AND STAIRS DOWN TO THE BACK YARD HAVE ONLY CABLE RAILINGS, AND ARE POTENTIAL FALL HAZARDS, SO WE REGRET THAT WE CAN'T HOST CHILDREN UNDER AGE 12.

Owl’s Roost consists of a large central living area and two wings containing bedrooms. The magnificent high-ceilinged great room features sweeping 180-degree views of the ocean. The sitting area is furnished with sofas and armchairs facing the sea. The dining area also enjoys ocean views and has seating for 6 to 8. There is an adjacent TV area as well.

The luxurious island kitchen is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, glass-top range, two wall ovens, dishwasher and microwave. It also enjoys an ocean view. The kitchen is very high end, fully functional but dated.

One wing of the house is occupied entirely by the enormous master suite, which features a king bed and an ocean view. The en suite bath has a walk-in shower, water closet, and double sinks. There is a half bath and a laundry room off of the hallway to this wing.

The second wing houses the two guest suites. It is under the same roof as the rest of the house, but does not connect internally, so you walk 10 feet across the veranda to access the guest suites. Each guest suite has a private entrance from the veranda, full ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and a beautiful beach and ocean view. The bathrooms are older but well maintained. One suite has a king bed and the other twin beds. Please note, the twin beds cannot be converted to a king.

A broad veranda extends the full length of the house facing the sea, and wraps around to the front of the house as well. It is one of Owl’s Roosts most delightful features. Every room has a sliding door to the veranda. There is a grassy jeep track that passes between the house and the beach. It is almost never used and feels like part of your front yard. Our pristine beach is a mile long, wide and flat, with beautiful pinkish sand and the clearest water. It is well protected by a barrier reef so the surf is very gentle, excepting only when there is a storm out at sea. You will usually have the world-class beach to yourself.

Amenities at Owls Roost include AC throughout, WIFI, satellite TV., washer/dryer, books and games, private heated pool and backup generator.

Another wonderful week in Eleuthera!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Owl's Roost was the perfect location to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. This was our 6th trip to Eleuthera and it never disappoints. The location was absolute perfection and between the gorgeous pool and private, pristine beach, it is truly heaven. While the interior of the house is somewhat dated and a door on the toilet in the master suite would be a great add :), it's a fun throw-back to another time and very comfortable. The kitchen is incredibly well-appointed and made the week very easy, whether we were just making breakfast or having a full dinner party. Bottom line: before we left, we were already thinking about when we could come back.

Had a wonderful week on the island and the stay at the owls roost made it that much better. The house was great. Such a beautiful piece of property and well described. The house is well stocked to truly have a relaxing vacation. The access down to the beach was a little rough as the heavy surf had recently eroded the shoreline but with a little problem solving we had no issue. We will definitely be back. The location is perfect and we loved everything about it. Thanks again

Exactly what the doctor ordered
Exclusively isolated which was divine!! Excellent recommendations from Eleuthera Rentals. Missed Tippy’s 😢. But we’ll get that next time. Even though we were less than a week after the storm, the worst day here is better than most people experience in a lifetime. Will be returning

Great location, but definitely has some negatives
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Positives: The house is in a perfect location and the pool was a significant plus. The great room has spectacular views. The house has all the extras you could imagine. I have never seen so many drawers and cabinets. The generator was great, especially with the outages. Property manager Delshire was great and worked extra to help. Negatives: The beach access is not accessible which is a big game changer. Access is available by walking down the road a bit but not nearly as convenient as in front of your own house. We were told about a week before our trip the access was damaged by a storm and may be fixed in time. It appeared access had been gone for a while to us. I found the house very dusty and dingy. It is definitely outdated and could use some upgrades for sure - the carpet in the master bedroom is very gross, and the wall and carpet near one of the AC units were in terrible shape. Only one of the four TVs worked and the dishwasher was terrible.

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: The house was spacious, clean and private the perfect getaway for us. The pool was fantastic heated and quality lounge chairs outside the pool and inside the view was spectacular with amazing palm tree landscaping just a beautiful property. The beach was just beautiful the sand soft and pink and you could walk a long way. Beware the no see ums torn us up 100’s of bites spray all of your skin!! We truly loved this place and we even saw 2 owls !! The rental car worked out fine and the liquor store had everything and the Burrows grocery store had enough to gets us through the week.restaurants Daddy Joes was good and 1648 was delicious. Spanish Wells wasn’t worth the trip but rented a golf cart and drove around and had lunch. We did a full day sail which we all enjoyed! So thank you owners for giving us the opportunity to rent your place you are blessed to have such a Special home on such a tranquil island. The deal breaker for us was the North Eleuthera airport the arrival was fine but the Saturday departure was an F. It was a nightmare, what a mess it was like a Saturday Night live skit you couldn’t even imagine it you had to be there, let me be clear the individual employees were doing their jobs but the chaos, disorganized people, the crapped facility, no where to sit especially for the handicapped and elderly just a mess. It can not handle volume and should not be allowed to operate at over capacity it’s really dangerous.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me first say, the yard is gorgeous - there's a great view from the deck, the pool etc. The pool was fantastic however, the house, was an issue. I tried contacting the owners regarding it and was completely ignored after 3 attempts to reach them. The house was NOT CLEANED prior to our arrival. We notified our contact and was never responded to with regard to the lack of cleanliness. Everything is dated in the house, the bathrooms were awful (in the main house and the 2 other bedrooms) - I had to clean them. The kitchen is a whole other story - there was food from 2014 left in the fridge and cabinets (literally). The carpets are dirty, the furniture is dirty, the windows and mirrors were all dirty. The screens for the windows in the kitchen were disgusting. The deck needs work - boards are coming up - the wood is very old and some area's are unsafe. The entrance to the water is a short 3-5 minute walk - there is NO access from in front of the house. However, the location was great otherwise - very private! If I had received a response from the owner after she texted me looking for something, I wouldn't have written this review however, they clearly don't care about our stay, otherwise they would have responded. The pool attendants were amazing and Daniel was wonderful as well. Even cut up some coconuts for my daughter. The Atlantic side was great - wonderful breeze every day and listening to the waves was so relaxing. Pascale's is walking distance - Sammy was awesome - great food and drinks! overall we did have a great stay - the lack of cleanliness should have been handled and it wasn't. Bottom line!!!!

A beautiful place on a incredible beach. Everything worked as advertised. We loved the great room with a great view of the ocean and plenty of room for everyone. The guest rooms were very quiet. The appliances were top notch with a double oven and a sub zero fridge. Very well equipped, so many cabinets that we had a little trouble remembering where everything was kept The pool was a little cool, we should have opted for the heated option. We hope to return.

Reviewer Comments: Owls Roost provides a wonderful setting to experience Eleuthera beginning with a nicely appointed house with great ocean views and access to the beach. The heated pool is a welcome feature in the winter and Spring.Ther location works well as you are only a few minutes from Governors Harbor centrally located on the island. The house situated on a large private campus with beautiful landscaping creating a private setting from the road and neighbors.

Perfect Spot on Eleuthera
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first trip to Eleuthera and this house was the perfect location fo us. As far as the house goes, it has everything that you could need. Fully stocked kitchen. Very large and roomy with lots of seating areas. Beds were comfortable. But the outside is what steals the show. You feel like you're at a very upscale resort because of the beautiful landscaping. The deck area and chairs to watch the sunrise and the stars at night were perfect. The pool was just wonderful. We could have stayed there without exploring any other areas of the island. I was worried about the beach being "across the road" but the road is really just a dirt path. Very easy walk to get to the beach. There was a lot of seaweed and debris but we found that on all of the beaches that we explored so it was maybe just a tide issue while we were there. It was honestly one of the best vacations I've had. Very positive experience with the property manager and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful week!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Owls Roost made for a peaceful and restful vacation. The location is private and the pool was lovely. The house has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking. If you do plan to cook, the boat comes in on Tuesdays and Fridays. So those are best days to shop, otherwise groceries could be limited. We ate out a few nights. Pascals is a five minute walk down the beach, and 1648 at French Leave Resort is a five minute drive. The only complaint I had is the beds in the bedroom with twins. I could not sleep the first night as the beds are old and hard as rocks. I used cushions from the chairs to put on the bed in order to sleep. However, that should be remedied soon. I told the owner, and she has ordered a topper for those beds. My sisters, told me the beds in the other bedrooms were quite comfortable. There has been erosion to the beach and we had to walk a ways to find a path down, but when the ground keeper came, he immediately put a ladder up for us, so we cold climb down to the beach right by the house. He even opened some coconuts for us, which are all around the property. The most disturbing thing for me was the trash washing up on the beach. This of course, has nothing to do with the house, just sad to see. The beach is very beautiful otherwise. We walked everyday at low tide. The water was warm, and waves gentle to play in. We would definitely go back, and highly recommend this property. It is in need of some TLC, but for those who love peace and quiet, it is perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Some may say the place is "dated", but lets get that out of the way. The place has more "aura" per square foot than most homes you will ever be in. The beach is perfect, the home setup is perfect, the proximity to Governors is great, its a perfect semi private getaway for 1-3 couples. Not to be missed.

Great Place
Pictures do not do it justice. Meticulously clean, well manicured grounds, nice architectural layout (1980's upscale), perfectly maintained, well stocked. Magnificent ocean view deck. Very private. Great location near everything in Governor's Harbor. Walk to Pascals along ocean front path. Exactly what we were after for a comfortable, relaxing, vacation.

Great family getaway!!
We stayed a week here in June and the property was amazing! Very well maintained and stocked. Beach access right out the back door to one the best beaches we’ve ever seen in all the Caribbean!!! Plus, calm waters with awesome reefs for snorkeling. We saw every kind of sea life, even a mom and baby dolphin who swam with us almost everyday. Loved that the house has a generator for the island power inconsistencies. We would definitely come back.

We didn’t need to explore the island with gorgeous waters and white sand, glowing pink wet right outside our door. The back patio gives sweeping views of it all and we never missed a sunrise. You are lucky if you get to stay here. I hope we get to return.
