We always enjoy meeting our guests on arrival to welcome them to The Yellow House and are happy to answer any questions and show them around the property.

We live locally and are always available, but allow guests to enjoy their privacy unless needed.
An 8-minute walk (or 3-minute golf-cart ride in our 6+ seater golf cart) down the hill leads to world-famous French Leave Beach, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that has been ranked in the top 20 of the world. A 5-minute walk in the other direction takes you to the village of Governor’s Harbour, where you will find grocery stores, liquor stores, several restaurants and cafes, a bank (with ATM services), gift shops, and more!
The island of Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore.
We are pleased to offer guests the use of a new 6 seater golf cart, with seat belts, for the short 2-3 minute drive downhill to French Leave Beach. Use of the vehicle is entirely optional, but we do ask for a security deposit of $1,000.00 from guests who choose to use it.
The deposit is collected ahead of arrival (please note on booking if you wish to have it included with your stay) and returned within 7 days of departure, provided the golf cart is returned in the same condition as it is received on arrival.
While not licensed for general road use, we find that the majority of our guests appreciate the convenience of having the golf cart for transporting beach chairs, the umbrella, cooler, and other essentials back and forth to the beach. It also enables members of the same family group to partake in various activities on any given vacation day.
