Sea Shanty - Ocean view, Private pool, Walk to Beach, Prime Central Location.

Characterful 2 bedroom beach cottage, a 5 minutes walk down a pathway to the beach, with its own small swimming pool.

Sea Shanty is located on exclusive Bank's road. The pink sand beach is a 5 minute walk away, and Tippy's restaurant is a 2 minute drive or 15 walk down the beach.

Sea Shanty, which sits in 1/4 acre of private grounds, has a roof top deck, overlooking the trees, with a view to the ocean beyond. There is a new 15 foot, private swimming pool for your use. The cozy master bedroom, which has King size bed, is directly off the deck on the second floor of the house. Downstairs is open plan, with the a small, but fully functioning kitchen, a dining area suitable for 4, and a lounge which has a TV and a couch. Off the living room, there is a small 2nd bedroom with a queen bed, and a single loft bed above. This second bedroom would suit children, but also works for a couple. The property is quiet and peaceful, with only few high end houses in the neighborhood.

There is high speed wireless internet throughout the property.

The property is centrally located, being 10 minutes from Governors Harbour on the beautiful Bank's road, the most sought after area in Eleuthera. There are mile and miles of reef protected beaches, both north and south, in front of the house for you to explore. There is great snorkeling and spear fishing off the beach directly in front.

There are grocery stores 10 minutes away and 3-4 of the best restaurants on the island are within a 10 minute drive.

The property would suit anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful location, in the heart of the island.

Sweet "Sea Shanty" Retreat

Enjoyed our stay at Sea Shanty. The cottage was comfortable, the property was nice and the pool was a bonus. The rooftop deck was a great place to relax with morning coffee, evening beverage and star gazing. The path to the beautiful beach across the road was great.

This house has a ton of charm with a very casual feel to it. Small swimming pool was extremely nice for those days of sunning on the decks then cooling off. The Beach was very close with 3 min or less walk. The master King Bed was very comfortable and had its on walkout balcony deck with beautiful views. There was a 2nd bedroom with large bed and bunk above, which would be nice if you had kids. The pictures accurately illustrate the house. The house is very private, which we liked and was perfect for our stay. It was also well appointed with towels, beach gear, TP, trash bags, coffee maker, coffee filters, etc. Jethro “Host” was extremely kind and helpful & responsive with our inquiries, which gave us a peace of mind. We will be staying again.

Relaxing Beach GEtaway

The location is fantastic, the house is relaxed and comfortable--it makes you feel like you are relaxing. There were sand fleas on the beach which ate us right up for the entire week--maybe this was just a fluke for this time of year? Nice stay.

Unwind at the cottage!

Our family of 4 (with 2 kids) had a great time at the Sea Shanty! It was our first time visiting the island and it was the perfect base to explore the island. The cottage is very clean, true to the pictures and was perfectly outfitted with everything you need to be self sufficient! The backyard has a nice clean pool and we especially loved morning coffee on the upper patio. Jethro our host was super responsive (within minutes) and very accommodating!The beach is across the street, down a short 5-10 walk in either direction which was awesome! There’s a small grocery store in town and some great restaurants within 5-10 min drive. We’d come back in a heart beat!

Nice little cottage

Cute little house. Great location. I think the bed linens are all ready to be updated. Also, it’s nice that beach chairs are provided but they also need to be updated. Otherwise, it was good!

This property is an absolute gem!! Eleuthera on its own is simply remarkable, and what Jethro and his family have created just outside of Governor’s Harbor is nothing short of amazing. Our family of four have never been more relaxed, nor have we been surrounded by such beauty. Thank you, Jethro!!
