BAHAMA MAMA
Don’t look any further! This mint, five-bedroom has it all and is in the BEST location. It is perfect for families (or a group of friends) with it’s has new, fully gated private pool (CAN BE HEATED FOR A FUEL FEE OF $55 PER DAY), heavenly outdoor shower, 800 sq ft, wrap-around, screened-in porch, multiple decks that offer both shade or sun, a bonus room with ping-pong, a Soul-Cycle bike, and Roku TV. The house has spectacular views of BOTH the Atlantic and Caribbean and in less than 60 seconds the two golf carts whisk you off to the stunning, mile-long, pink sand beach.

THE LAYOUT
The lower level has the big game room with lots of board games, another full refrigerator, a large bedroom (two twin beds with trundle beds) that can sleep four or be pushed together for a king and a new full en-suite bathroom. There is access to a full stocked garage with lots of pool toys, lawn games, beach chairs, two washer/dryers and the golf carts.

The main floor has a gorgeous corner living/dining room with two sofas, a dining table for 8, a fully stocked “chef’s kitchen” with two dishwashers, a breakfast bar and 4 bar stools. There are five French doors that lead out to the huge screened porch. The porch has two more dining tables that pushed together can seat 12 or more, ceiling fans, lots of seating, chaises and a heavenly napping benches.

Off the porch is a large sundeck with more loungers, a gas grill and panoramic views. Also on this floor is a master-size bedroom with a King bed and doors that open to the screened-in porch. The new windowed bathroom has an oversized walk-in shower is across the hall and there a third washer/dryer.

The top floor has three bedrooms all with fabulous ocean views. (One queen, one king, and the third has two double beds.) The top floor also has one full bathroom, a computer desk and another small sitting area.

WYKEE ESTATES
'Bahama Mama' is located in Wykee Estates, a charming community of stone houses built in the 1940's for the first Premier of the Bahamas as a holiday retreat for his family and staff.

WORK OUT!
We have a Soul Cycle stationary bike . We have a cycling shoes with DELTA CLEATs but best to bring your own. There are also free weights (3,5 and 8 lbs) and yoga mats.

I just renovated all three bathrooms, and the entire house and landscaping is meticulously maintained.
We have split A/C units, lovely linens, comfy mattresses, beautiful landscaping, mature fruit trees, hammock, a newly planted garden and even a tether ball.

THE POOL & PINK SAND BEACH
In addition to our private heated pool, Wykee Estates has a lovely community pool with teak chaises that is shared with the other residents. We also have a magical pink sand beach just is beautiful and rarely will see another soul.

GOLF CARTS
Both the shared pool and beach are just a few minute-walk from the house or a 30-second golf cart ride. The two golf carts come with the house and are only to be used to go to the Wykee beach or the Sky Beach Club next door.

BEST LOCATION
We are in a great location just five minutes by car from the town of Governor's Harbour and eight minutes from the GHB airport. You can also walk five minutes or take the golf cart next door to the Sky Beach Club with its restaurant, “Pascal’s”, spectacular views, lounge chairs, and infinity pool with swim-up cocktail bar.

CHILL OUT
Eleuthera is laid back and relaxed. Leave your high heels and makeup at home. Adults can eat at several great beachfront restaurants while the kids run on the beach and play just steps away from your table. The residents of Eleuthera are warm and friendly and the island is very safe.

GOVERNOR’S HARBOUR
The town of Governor’s Harbour has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Governors has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery and gift shops. Friday Night is Fish Fry, a street party with food, drink, and dancing.

Bahama Mama was amazing!
This is probably the most well stocked house we’ve ever rented! Some of the favorite things were the screened in and outside deck space. The golf carts were super helpful and proximity to beach, pool and town were great! We did have several power outages and were super impressed with the amount of “gear” needed from flashlights to battery operated fans- all very helpful. Loved the exercise equipment (yoga mats,weights,soul cycle). We had a great time and loved this house!

Wonderful place
My family stayed at Bahama Mama in April and we had a great time. The property is fantastic with views of the Caribbean (sunsets) and the Atlantic (sunrise)! Kitchen was well equipped with all we needed. Plenty of towels, beach accessories, snorkel gear, beach chairs etc. The golf carts really helped us access the beach and Pascal’s bar/beach club nearby. Would stay again!

Bahama Mama Eleuthera Vacation
This was by far the best property we have rented in Eleuthera. We've been coming here for several years but this house and location were really outstanding. The house more than accommodated our 8 adults and one child with plenty of room to spare. The house was so well equipped from the kitchen to the game room. There really was nothing we needed during the entire stay. We greatly appreciated how accommodating the house was. We would definitely rent this property again.

Beautiful home. Attentive owner.
We enjoyed our stay in Bahama Mama. There were a few issues of things that needed repairs. Owner responded quickly and effectively. Master BR and bath are superb. Pool and beach are wonderful and deserted.

Amazing Home and Screened Porch
This was our family's first vacation to Eleuthera and we couldn't have picked a better home to rent. Bahama Mama is exactly like the pictures, only better in person. It is decorated in a fun and eclectic decor that highlights the home and the natural beauty of the outdoors. The beds and pillows were super comfortable (we even searched for tags on the pillows but to no avail), ample storage and lovely furnishings throughout. We have stayed at many, many vacations homes over the years and this is at the top. I refer to Bahama Mana like I do Wegman's grocery store - if they don't have it, I don't need it. There were plenty of chairs, rafts, floats, coolers, umbrellas, towels, candles, matches, etc. Basically, everything you could need or want. The owner was fabulous when we had a few questions, as were Linda (house manager) and her daughter. We felt so taken care of! The outside shower was divine and great to shower before coming inside. We took golf cart rides, at at the near-by Sky Club (food was excellent, staff super nice - a little pricey but so convenient). the beach is spectacular, the pool is huge and clean. Honestly, it was one of the best homes we have ever rented and it's obvious the owner considers this a home and not just a vacation rental. The kitchen was very well appointed, with enough pots, pans dishes, silverware and glasses to feed an army. Oh, and the two dishwashers are genius - one for each kid to be in charge of - no more arguments - they each had one :) The screen porch deserves its own paragraph because it was that delightful. Furniture was super comfy (new outdoor lounge chairs were delivered when we were there - so the owner definitely keeps everything in excellent working condition) and we all loved the "sleeping corner". We read, ate, napped, played games and loved the breeze. We initially picked this home for the porch and it did not disappoint. Oh, and Eleuthera is pretty sweet too! Definitely hit the food truck in front of Burrow's Grocery store (the store was also well stocked ) for breakfast on your way to the beaches. The burrito was awesome, as were the smoothies and pancakes, and prices are very good. I wish we had thought to do this sooner - they also have lunch. I believe the owner operates when her children are in school so open something like 8:30-3:00. You won't be disappointed We booked already for next year and added more days because it's that good.

Amazing property!
We absolutely loved Bahama Mama! We were ten people altogether and the house couldn't have been more perfect. The location is stunning with gorgeous water views in every direction. The house is so well equipped with everything anyone would want or need while on vacation. The owner and property manager were incredibly helpful and responsive to our every request. Eleuthera is a magical place....we would highly recommend Bahama Mama and Eleuthera to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful vacation in a stunning location.

Great house with very little to desire
We had 3 generations sharing this house the youngest were 2 grandsons, one 4 the other 2. everyone had privacy with the exception of a single issue. We were urged to shower outdoors for the sake of the septic infrastructure which we were very sensitive to. We wanted to respect the owner's wishes but found the outdoor shower challenging because it offered no privacy due to its lack of a door. I would return if a door were installed, other than that great place.

Beautiful beach house overlooking the Atlantic
This was a great home for our large family of 6 with 4 small children. Grandparents accompanied us as well. The large tables, both inside and outside, were perfect for large family dinners. The house is fully equipped from beach towels & beach gear to spices and most kitchen basics. The decor is nice. The views are amazing from all sides of the home. There are 2 gulf carts to use and next door is Pascal's restaurant with a poolside bar, very convenient.
