About this estate rental

Miss Ruby - 4-Acre Estate on Banks Rd, House & Guest cottage, Po

The beautiful 4-acre property, recently remodeled, consists of a 3-bedroom main house with a detached guest cottage, both built around an extra-large 33-foot private pool. Miss Ruby is located on the prestigious Banks Road, the prime address in Governors Harbour, just 5 minutes by car from town and less than a 15 minute walk down the beach from famous Tippy's restaurant and bar.

Miss Ruby is a 3 to 5 minute walk (depending on your pace) from a miles-long pink-sand beach, usually deserted. This beach has a unique, totally-protected pool, perfect for small children, as well as a long stretch of postcard-perfect ocean beach. Miss Ruby features beautiful ocean views from the upper floor rooms and decks. Miss Ruby is surrounded by a lush garden planted with flowering bougainvillea and hibiscus, as well as coconut palms and other fruit trees.

Miss Ruby's two-story main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. It features high ceilings, hardwood floors, and lots of sunlight. The first floor has large great room with living and dining areas, and a modern, fully equipped island kitchen with butcher block countertops and stainless steel appliances. There is also a guest bedroom on the first floor with a full bed and a full bath that is shared with the living area.

Upstairs features an extra-large king-bed master suite with ocean views, en-suite full bath, and an enormous ocean-view deck and wrap-around veranda. The upstairs also has a large guest bedroom with a triple bunk bed and a separate single bed. This bedroom also has a full bath and a large veranda with ocean views.

The detached guest cottage features 2 single beds and a full bed, a full bath, and a kitchen complete with refrigerator, range, sink, and coffee maker.

Amenities include super-fast and reliable STARLINK internet and WIFI, private pool, air conditioning, laundry room with washer and dryer, hi-fi stereo, cordless telephone, satellite TV and DVD player with USB and TV screen. Outside there is a gas grill and an outdoor table for dining beside the pool.

The town of Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just 5 minutes from the property by car. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won't want to miss it.

Upscale beachfront restaurants in the area include Pascal's at Sky Beach Club (International cuisine with Bahamian influences), Tippy's (international and fusion), The Buccaneer (Bahamian cuisine with Caribbean-Chinese fusion), 1648 House, and The Rainbow Inn (famous for its steaks and seafood). The above all have live music one or more nights a week, so there is live entertainment somewhere nearby almost every night. The Governors Harbour area also has numerous little takeouts and restaurants offering local cuisine, including Da Perk (coffee shop and sandwiches), The Banks Road Deli, Bacchus Fine Foods (gourmet restaurant and food store), Mate and Jenny's (pizza and Bahamian), the Sunset Inn (local cuisine), and LeoRose Sunset Beach Bar and Grill (local cuisine, drinks, live music).

Rates are on a sliding scale based on the number of guests. We set the rates this way to make the property more affordable for smaller groups who use less utilities and put less wear and tear on the house. If you enter the correct number of guests, the reservation system will calculate the rates correctly.

We had an awesome time in Governors Harbor, Miss Ruby's was the perfect place to stay, it was secluded and just a few steps from the beach. The house and cottage worked out great for us. Would definitely stay there again.

This house was perfect for our group. Everyone had their own bath, room on main floor for the grandma and the casita for the teenagers worked out great. Lovely pool. A short walk to the beach to the most beautiful stretch of beach that goes on forever, is perfect for swimming and has hardly anyone on it. Trees for shade. House had plenty of chairs to take down. The location is great for exploring the island. Went to Tilly’s (delicious and great setting), Buccaneer Club in town (so good) and La Bougainvillea (my favorite lunch spot for the view and food). Make dinner reservations. Misty was great and responsive. House was clean and really bright and pretty. Upstairs bedrooms have high ceilings and outside balcony access which is nice. House had everything we needed.

We are repeat visitors to the island and have stayed in several other rental houses all along Eleuthera. Miss Ruby has by far been the best overall. The location was so close to everything you need: groceries, beaches, restaurants, etc. The house itself was incredibly well stocked and clean. We are used to packing extra spices, some kitchen utensils, flashlights, bug spray, floats, etc. but Miss Ruby had everything you needed and more! Our only con to the house were the beds. All of the beds were just thin mattresses on top of wood slats in the bed frame that were incredibly loud any time someone moved. Luckily, we were too tired most nights for it to be a huge problem, but if you’re on vacation to rest up and catch some extra sleep, this may be a bigger problem.

Misty was so nice and accommodating without being ove bearing. She met us upon arrival and showed us around the house and then let us swiftly get into vacation mode. We will definitely consider this house again for future visits.

Reviewing a house I have booked 3X seems counter-productive, but here goes. My group of 8-9 over the past 3 years goes back to Miss Ruby for these reasons.
• Great location. 5 to 15 minutes from everything we enjoy.
• The pool. Perfect layout for relaxing and gathering of the family.
• The private beach 5 min walk away. (need I say more)
• The layout. The guest cottage is a perfect match with the big house. Everyone has their space but room to mingle.
• The house is clean, spacious and the A/C’s work great.
• Miss Ruby is not brand new. Kind of like a country farmhouse. (we like that)
• Misty was always reachable and responsive to our questions and any slight concerns.
• Booking with Pam @Eleuthera Vacation Rentals is something I actually look forward to. We talk year-round. She is now a friend.

You cannot go wrong by booking Miss Ruby. Just don’t take my week in 2024!!
