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.

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.

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!

Incredible

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!!

Cute little cabin snuggled in paradise.

Sea shanty was adorable. The pool was awesome. The owner came the first day to make sure everything was good and gave advice on what to do and where to go on the island. The beach is a very short walk, just across the street. Short walk to Tippy’s for great food and cold beer.

Quick One Night Stay

We stayed at Sea Shanty for just one night. It was a great spot. We were close to Tippy’s and a quick walk to the beach. Perfect for a couple to use as home base for exploring. Jethro stopped by to meet us and give recommendations for dinner. The property is gorgeous.
