About this house rental

This beautifully restored and modernized estate home of the late Sir Roland Symonette, first Premier of the Bahamas, retains its original elegance while enjoying modern comforts and conveniences. Hearts Ease, as Sir Roland named it, sits on a hill above a beautiful pink-sand beach. Hearts Ease enjoys spectacular 50-mile, 180-degree views of the beach and ocean below. It's a short 100-yard walk down the hill to the beach.

At the entrance of the villa, you are greeted by three sets of French doors that open into a vast Great Room looking out over the ocean. The 16 foot ceilings, lovingly restored paneled walls, fireplace, and antique chandeliers combine with the views to make a stunning first impression. To the right is the Master Bedroom with private deck, large en suite bath and queen-size canopy bed, a spacious and delightful room.

To the left of the Great Room is the kitchen, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and sliding glass doors to the patio. In addition to the Master Suite, Hearts Ease has two guest bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. Each guest bedroom has access to a private outdoor sitting area, closet, and queen bed. Hearts Ease has a powder room convenient to the Great Room, and a large and fully equipped laundry room with washer and dryer.

The extensive outdoor living space includes a large screened porch, a beautiful low-walled patio of the same size, and a rooftop deck, all with spectacular ocean views. A gas grill is available for outdoor cooking. After a day on the beach, enjoy our private outdoor shower. Heart Ease is beautifully landscaped with tropical flowers, palm trees, and fruit and nut trees.

Hearts Ease is just 50 yards from a large and lovely pool shared with several other homes. Just past it is our pink sand beach. A short walk down the beach takes you to Sky Beach Club's excellent restaurant and bar, which has poolside service all day long. Other nearby fine dining includes Cocodimama, five minutes by car, and Tippys, 10 minutes away. The picturesque town of Governors Harbour, less then three miles away, has 19th century homes and churches, grocery stores, banks with ATMs, gift shops, liquor stores, dive shop, bakery, restaurants, and a restored historic library.

Hearts Ease is fully equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Amenities include air conditioning throughout, WIFI, landline phone, smart TV, DVD player with video library, stereo system with CD player, video games, library of books, board games, children's toys, beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach towels.

Come relax and find peace at Hearts Ease, just as Sir Roland would have wished for you.

Note: Rates are for the first 6 guests. There is a $50 per night charge for a 7th guest.

I forgot to mention the great communication from Carol! We didn't need much but she checked in with us upon arrival and messaged us throughout the trip to see if we needed anything. 5 stars for Carol too!!

Hearts Ease has everything you need. True beach chairs ( which aren't so easy to come by ), plenty of beach towels, every kitchen item needed. The house is in a great location for beaches and stores and restaurants. The home itself is stunning inside and out. Comfortable beds, couches and outdoor furniture. Quiet gated community and very easy beach access right down the hill. We will be back!!

We loved our stay at Heart's Ease! Everything about the home and property was so, so beautiful and comfortable. It's centrally located for easy drives into to town for food and for drives throughout the rest of the island for exploring. We walked next door to Pascal's for dinner and lunch a few times too. The pool was super clean and lovely. The walk to the beach was just down the hill. We practically had the beach to ourselves! Plenty of chairs and umbrellas and towels provided. The garden around the house is so charming. And the furniture and decor in the house is very nice and high quality. The house manager, Carol was very helpful and responsive. The rental company was also very helpful in providing very thorough instructions and a nice guide to the island. Highly reccommend!

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: Heart’s Ease tops our list for beauty, comfort and location! We rented Heart’s Ease with our family, 4 adults and 2 children (4 and 6) and it couldn't have been more perfect for our 7-day stay. It was impeccably clean, spacious and well equipped, with a convenient location just north of Governor’s Harbour. Brenda, the caretaker, could not have been more accommodating and helpful. (Don’t miss Brenda and Billy’s BBQ on Friday or Saturday in James Cistern.) Renting a car is a must! We were out and about every day discovering the beautiful beaches, meeting wonderful people and finding good places to eat. We did two excursions during our weeks stay. We loved sailing with Captain Bob Knaus, Eleuthera Sailing Adventures, from Bottom Harbor Beach to Man Island. We also had a wonderful adventure with Bahamas Ocean Safaris and Captain James Dunham, snorkeling with sea turtles and manatees, exploring hidden beaches and Sand Dollar Island. We would stay at Heart’s Ease again in a heartbeat, and recommend it to anyone we know!
