Cozy cottage in beautiful location
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: This was a very affordable place on Eleuthera, and had everything you need. Items inside were a little dated, but it didn’t matter. Definitely recommend. Of note, power went out a couple times; if you need power for medical reasons, I suggest staying where you have a generator.

Pebbles Paradise
wonderful beachfront cottage on Lutra's best beach. Snorkling was quite good on the rocks in front of the cottage. We had an internet issue that the owner resolved promptly. We would love to stay at Pebbles again very soon!

Great Location
We love the location of the house. On the Rocks beach is such a picturesque beach, with pink sand and rock reef that protects the area. The house itself needs some upkeep. There were major cracks in the walls. There was no internet or tv connection. I would only stay at this house again for its location.

Home Away from Home in Paradise
The house was beautiful to match the view. It was super clean and well-kept. It was nice to have items like beach towels and a cloth cooler to be able to use. It was easy to find and a perfect distance from Governor's Harbor. We were greeted by the owner, and she later graciously resolved an internet issue. She followed up later to make sure it was still working. In our opinion, this home is located on the prettiest beach of the island. We will certainly be coming back!

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 had a beautiful 9 night stay at Pebbles on Banks Rd. in Governors Harbor. We stayed pretty close to home to enjoy the exceptional beach and nearby restuarants that were top notch! We did see Lighthouse beach one more time before Mickey takes over-stunning! Our trip to Harbor Island was not that good except eating at Romora Bay Marina, which has great food and location in the harbor! Pebbles was clean and neat from Angie's hard work and coconuts provided by Claudel. Pebbles needs a little maintenance but was still a great place for us! Hope to be back next year!

Beautiful Beach Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Property was as described. Had a little trouble with A/C working and keys to get in upon arrival. Not exactly the ideal outcome when you have been traveling all day, arrive in the dark and expect a smooth arrival. Property manager and owner took care of us pretty timely though and we were able to proceed with getting in and unloading our stuff. The location is great. Directly over a pristine beach, probably the best beach we have ever experienced in quite a bit of beach traveling. Was wonderful hearing the waves constantly throughout the day and night. The property is on a cove on the Atlantic side and we went during the slow season so we saw only a handful of people on the beach each day. Pretty much your own private beach the whole time. Couldn't ask for anything more since we came to relax.It was slow season so a few restaurants like tippys and some others in the town were not open. We might plan differently next time we come. Overall, know what to expect when coming to this island. It is as laid back as it gets. This is not a 5 star resort. This is a beautiful island, off the beaten path. Go there and learn about the culture of the island. The locals are such friendly people. Just make sure you know your expectations before going to Eleuthera, which we did, and you will have an unforgettable time.

Lovely location but a little tired
Pebbles is a lovely location but the property is a bit tired.. The kitchen is new but there are few dishes to be had. The shower is large but the water pressure is poor and hard to manage temperature. This little cottage will soon disappear into the ocean as it is inches from falling off the edge at several points in the yard. The owner is lovely but clearly having some issues with erosion. There was no water or dish detergent when we arrived. Sadly our stay was impacted by the fact the island decided to open late for the season and lingering covid issues..

Dec 2023 Eleuthera stay
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The area is absolutely beautiful. The beach is awesome to walk on and the water is great for snorkeling.The house itself is not exactly what we thought we were getting. The house needs major updating. Cabinet doors in the master bathroom were flashing off the hinges. There is no privacy when taking a shower as there are no blinds covering the shower windows allowing anyone out side to see you. The furniture is out dated and not comfortable. The kitchen utensils, pots and pans are in terrible shape.

Beautiful Location!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pebbles is situated in a perfect location. The beach right out back is gorgeous. The proximity to Governor's Harbour is also highly desirable. Tippy's is right down the road and is always great. The Buccaneer Club is close as well and offers a great place to grab breakfast. 1648 is another fantastic place, especially to catch a meal on the balcony overlooking the sunset. The home itself needs a lot of maintenance and was not in good condition for our trip. Eleuthera Vacation Rentals were very responsive and accommodating, though. They did everything they could to help address the issues with the house. They even offered us alternative housing options while we were there, but we decided the location of the property was too perfect to relocate.Overall, pick Pebbles for the location. We hope they make some much needed renovations. If that happens, it would be easy to recommend the rental to others.

Definitely needs upgrading
Multiple failures some accidental, some chronic. - The cabinet doors fall out of hinges upon the first touch. - Internet worked for 1 out of 7 days, so consider that the likelihood of you finding it working 14% chance. - Water supply was disrupted after pump failure, took a day to get it fixed. - Kitchen door had no stopper, being on the windy side, the wind blew it open and broke the door along the vertical. The part that broke hit the water supply line causing a rupture and the subsequent pressure loss caused the water pump to fail. The water itself comes from a well and has a strong sulfur scent, not sure if the filter is failing, or if it is simply unavoidable. On the plus side - The people looking after the building did the best they could to address issues in a timely fashion. - Knowing the island I used Sky Beach (10min car drive) for internet access. The resort at Sky Beach manages to always have good internet connection, seems they know what it takes to get it done on the island. - The location is stunning, the Atlantic beach, a natural pool nearby, wonderful grounds around the building, .... that saved the trip. - The kitchen was no beauty but fully functional and well equipped with cooking utensils, so that worked well. Hope the owner upgrades, the location certainly would justify doing just that.

Wonderful week on the beach
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 thoroughly enjoyed our week at Pebbles. Pebbles is right on a beautiful stretch of magnificent beach with miles of pink-white sand and crystal blue water. Uncrowded is an understatement. I estimate we saw about three people per km of beach. The picture is accurate but reality is even better. Angie made the cottage sparkling clean, Robbie made sure everything was working properly, Claudel kept the grounds and got a liter of fresh coconut water for us (delicious and good for you) and Patricia made it all run smoothly. Thank you friendly, helpful, hardworking, good folks of Eleuthera. We wanted to relax and get away and we are so glad we did it here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was easy to locate. Property management communication was very good. We had zero issues with the house. It needs some updating but we aren't there for the house. The location is absolutely gorgeous with a beach that feels secluded. It is a 30sec walk to the beach. Most days we saw very few people on the beach. Snorkeling is pretty decent right in front of the house. Highly recommend Pebbles.

Laid back atmosphere with spectacular ocean & beach views.
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: We just returned from a relaxing week at Pebbles. It’s panoramic view of the ocean & beach was spectacular, the colours of the water & sky continually changing was breathtaking. The cottage is quite private, up from the beach with access about a 5 min walk but not direct. Full size sliding doors ensured a view from both the bedroom & living areas. The kitchen was stocked with essential housewares. Governors harbour, restaurants, groceries etc were all close by. Naamon Rolle provided us with a great SUV out of GH airport, very good service. We drove south 1 day then north another along Queens highway stopping at Mel’s Snack shack for lunch & the best coconut cream pie. The Bahamian people are so welcoming & helpful. We always felt safe. Simply an intimate, laid back relaxing holiday!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pebbles was a very simple residence, but the location was beautiful! If you enjoy being on a beach and seeing nothing but ocean and sand, you will love it here. We did. We were out of season, so many restaurants and shops were closed. If you need to be at a different restaurant daily, you may be limited depending on the time of year. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive to our requests. Eleuthera is a beautiful, rustic island and the sightseeing was a real thrill for us.

Quiet beach house
We have stayed on Eleuthera 5 times over the years and this is definitely at the top for so many reasons! Centrally located, so easy to enjoy both ends of island. Nice road to property. Beautiful beach out front is easy to swim and walk. Adjacent house had large family group - could not see or hear :) very private! House itself was small but very spacious with comfortable bed. Would definitely stay here again !

Venus Pool vacation
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 4th vacation to Eleuthera and Gov Harbour, but the first time staying at Pebbles. The home is on the beach on the Atlantic side and the waves rolled in continually, providing a perfect background 24/7. The owners were also staying on the property in the main house and they were lovely and helpful. Their four sweet potcake dogs visited us everyday. The layout is a 1 bed/2b bath and while there is a sofa bed in case you are more than 2 guests, it was not the most comfortable sofa bed. We will definitely look to stay here again on our next trip.
