Trade Winds - Oceanview, Private Pool, Short Walk To Pink Sand Beach, Central.

New house at eleuthera's most sought after location: banks road - golden mile

Tradewinds is a secluded 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa, with a private pool and spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean. Located on the Banks Road in the heart of Eleuthera's “Golden Mile”, it is 900 feet (3 mins walk) across Bank's Road, down a deeded path to a beautiful, quiet, pink sand beach. The property also has a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom guesthouse which is available to rent with the main house. (The guesthouse is ONLY available to rent WITH the main house -it is not rented independently. Cost to add the guesthouse, $100 extra per night.) The area from Governors Harbour to North Palmetto point is the most spectacular and sought after stretch on the island, with gorgeous pink sand beaches, amazing reefs and great restaurants and cafes. You can walk from the house to Tippy’s restaurant along the beach.

The house is set in 1 acre of native, tropical vegetation, which creates privacy. The private pool is 24 x 12 feet, with a constant 4 foot depth, ideal for swimming or just relaxing after a day at the beach. 1800 sq feet of spacious decks, both covered and uncovered, allow for sunbathing, enjoying the ocean views, outdoor dining, or relaxing by the pool. The entire property is exclusively rented to you, with no other renters or owners on the property.

Elegantly furnished throughout, the house is inverted, with the great room and kitchen on the upper floor allowing wonderful views and breezes in the main living space. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances and a large island with bar stools. Downstairs, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, Smart TV and spa-like ensuite bathroom with a claw-foot tub, walk-in waterfall shower and double sinks. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed, and has its own private balcony - perfect for morning coffee. The second bedroom can also be converted from a king-size bed to 2 twin beds.The guest bathroom has a walk in shower. There is private high speed internet throughout the house.

Beach chairs and 2 sets of snorkels are included with the rental. You can snorkel the reefs, swim, or walk for miles along the pink sand beaches that start just a 3 minute walk from the house. There is a 42" flat screen Smart TV (with a Netflix subscription) in the great room.

The house is located centrally on the island in what is considered the prime location in Eleuthera. It is near the best Pink Sand beaches, and there are several restaurants within a 10 minute drive. The area is called the Golden Mile for a reason! You will be swimming in crystal clear waters, snorkelling gorgeous reefs and relaxing on some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the world.

Secluded Paradise!
This is an incredible getaway. The house has everything we needed to cook and bake, including a grill. There are times when the power on the island is out so the grill was really handy. The beach is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and most days we were the only ones there. Jethro was always available if we needed him and very friendly! We hope to be back to this magical place soon.

This place is perfect for exploring beaches and also having a pool. Located in the middle of the island its convenient to go either North or South. Jethro is hands down the best home owner we have ever rented from. Immediate response in person if needed. Even though right on Banks Rd the privacy is perfect! Looking forward to returning to this beautiful island and will definitely return to Tradewinds!

JUST BOOK IT
After rescheduling our trip to Eleuthera 2-3 times due to Covid and then a medical issue, we were finally able to make it down to stay at Jethro’s property and it was totally worth the wait! The home is located in a nice area that gets you away from everything! The beach across the street is STUNNING and you MIGHT see 1-2 other people strolling the sand but you also might not. The property was exactly as listed and well appointed-Jethro and Bubbles (his sweet pup) stopped by upon checkin to go over a few things and that was really nice. Speaking of Jethro, you can expect his communication with you to be stellar - truly a helpful and gracious host! He now sets the bar for all VRBO hosts LOL. Highly suggest Tippy’s which is super close to the house (amazing customer service, food/drinks, and view; popping down to Ten Bay Beach (about a fifteen minute drive from the house) which was jaw dropping beautiful, visiting the Glass Window bridge (and if you’re brave and careful climb up on the rocks for some amazing panoramic pics), and hitting The Market supermarket for groceries. We did go to Harbour Island for a day trip; rented a golf cart to scoot around and it was really nice-much more of a bougie scene on that island and a lot more people if that’s your thing. But we were quite happy at the beach across the street from Jethro’s and then cooling off in the pool at the end of the day! Felt totally safe during our whole trip. Like I said, JUST BOOK IT.

Stay like you live there!
The house is well appointed with everything that you need to live there. There are a collection of toiletries as well as TP and PT. The kitchen has all you need to cook (stay like you live there) with seasonings -we added garlic powder, mustard, Mayo and salad dressing- all the small appliances and kitchen equipment is there. The grill is nice, and we used it a few times. Your beach days are covered with chairs, mats, toys and snorkel gear for the family. Bring your fishing poles! Don’t fill your suitcase with beach towels they have many. The lovely pool and deck with lounges gives you something to do on your “down time.” The two upper decks are ideal for sunrise, sunset, star gazing, meals and a spectacular space launch we saw go right over head!! The location is perfect for exploring the island top to bottom. Jethro and Cate, your hosts, go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. With tips on where to eat, what to see and things you shouldn’t miss while you’re staying. If you want to live like a local and have it feel like your home. Stay here, I assure you you won’t be disappointed.

Slice of heaven!
This property was absolutely perfect in every way. Spacious, clean, fully stocked with beach towels, kitchen appliances and dinnerware. We enjoyed sitting on both decks, listening to the waves and watching the sunrise/sunset. Location of this house is exceptional and Jethro was an amazing host. He made himself available as often as we needed and had so much helpful knowledge of the island. The pool on site was a huge added bonus. It’s big enough for the kids to play in or just to enjoy while you cool off from the sun. The property is a very short walk to the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen! We spent most of our time there. Kids loved swimming in it, walking around finding beach treasures and exploring the rock barrier at the south end. They played in those shallow pools for HOURS as the tide went out. Tippy’s was definitely a bonus to have within walking distance and full of lovely people. Food is very good, and live music was very enjoyable. Coco Cream (ice cream) was a nightly treat and only a short car ride away- kids really looked forward to that! The restaurant next door, Buccaneers, was also amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious- we even bought a bottle of their ghost pepper hot sauce to take home. We will absolutely be back to Tradewins! Highly, highly recommend this property and location. My husband and our two kids (12 & 9) had one of the best vacations we’ve ever had together. Thank you again, Jethro!

Family Adventure
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Trade Winds. It was stocked with everything needed, including beach chairs, ice chests, toys, and snorkel gear. The location near Govenor's Harbor was the perfect take off point to explore the many wonders Eleuthra has to offer. And at every turn Jethro, the home owner/property manager was there to assist. He saved the day more then once when we had car trouble (a rental car is necessary and an adventure in itself), even taking us to get pizza for dinner while we awaited our repaired rental car. Our excursions to Cathedral and Preachers Caves, Sapphire Blue Hole, Harbor Island and Spanish Wells were all wonderful day trips and regardless of where we explored the locals were warm, helpful and inviting. The hi-light was a charter with Captain Kid out of Spanish Wells, stunning beaches to comb, snorkel, swim with sea rays and pigs was not to be missed. We hope to return soon.

We loved it there...it was quiet, peaceful and very private. We would definitely be staying there again. The only issue is that it is listed as a 3 bedroom when it's actually a 2 bedroom. The pool house makes the 3rd bedroom and that has to be rented separately. Other than that, this place is fantastic. Jethro is an awesome host!

Great private location in central Eleuthera. The beach is an easy 3 min walk. The grocery store is 6 min drive and under 20 mins to GHB airport. Everything you need is stocked in the house. The beds are comfortable. The views from the top porch are gorgeous. And, I can't overstate how awesome Jethro and his wife are at hosting. They went above and beyond on multiple occasions when things went sideways due to my stupidity. Incredibly gracious and genuinely kind hosts who live near the property. You will have no regrets selecting Trade Winds for your stay on Eleuthera.

Fantastic stay!
We loved this property. It had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the AC was cold. The owner, Jethro, was easy to reach and communicate with and gave us some good ideas on what to do. He lives near the property, so he met us there when we arrived, and gave us a tour and explained everything, which I greatly appreciated. There were plenty of towels, both beach and bath, and he provides a 5 gallon jug of water to start you off which was nice. Everything was clean and and the living area is a nice space for a group. The house is convenient to all things in Governor's Harbor. We ate at Tippy's, which is right down the road. If we ever travel back to Eleuthera, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Fantastic. Hidden gem for sure.
Over the 10 years we’ve been coming to the island Trade Winds is the best value we’ve had yet. It’s a great tucked away property with privacy, great access to beach, actual walking distance to Tippys and Jethro is outstanding. We’ve never had such a great host. This property is the perfect blend of real Eleuthera and comfortable housing. We will absolute stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Thank you so much Jethro for all your help and information. This is just what we were looking for.

Awesome home and property!
We had a fantastic time at Tradewinds and I would highly recommend it to family and friends. Jethro, the homeowner, was staying next door at his other property. He met us when we arrived (he let us check in early b/c we were coming from Rainbow Bay) and showed us around. Super cool guy, and his dog Bubbles was friendly too. He even showed my husband & daughter the forest behind the house & grabbed a coconut for my son. The property is really beautiful. Full of palms and flowering plants. It’s feels private from the road. The view from the top floor is beautiful - you can see the ocean to the east and beautiful forest/sunsets to the west. Directly across the road is a little trail that takes you right to the beach. Maybe a 2-3 really cool walk through forest. We walked the beach trail in the evenings and were the only ones on the beach for reverse-sunsets. Just wear bug spray! The pool was perfect and clean, it was just the right size & there were plenty of tubes & floaties provided for the kids. Four nice lounge chairs + two sitting chairs by the pool, and an outdoor shower to rinse off. The bottom and upper decks had plenty of furniture for relaxing and lounging, plus a dining table and grill on the upper deck. The house is beautiful inside. Lower level has two bedrooms. The main bedroom is spacious and has a really nice bathroom w/soaking tub and shower. There was shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, beach towels, all you need. Plenty of extra cozy linens and pillows. The other bedroom has two twin beds, but you can easily smoosh them together to make a larger bed. It was a nice bedroom for kids, plus they had their own 2nd bathroom with shower. Upstairs was so cozy. Ample lounging space. Kitchen had everything we needed (drinking water to start with, spices, some condiments in the fridge), coffee maker, toaster, etc. Large dining table, cozy couch and chairs, books and maps for reading pleasure, nice, beachy decor, pillows, nice lighting. Plenty of ceiling fans and AC in all rooms. We often just opened the windows and doors and had the perfect tradewinds blowing through the whole place! It was just right for our family of 4. We did not use the poolhouse (extra). But we could still use the washer/dryer attached to the poolhouse. We plan to come back here someday! Thank you Jethro for being so kind to us. You have a beautiful place.
