About this house rental

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.

The location is amazing a 5 minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. The house is very large and the cottage is wonderful for extra guests or grand kids. All are decorated in a very beachy -comfortable fashion. Great house for large families. Loved the single chaise by the pool to take afternoon naps. Other than one hard double bed downstairs all the beds were very comfortable.The hosts were very responsive and helpful. It is a beautiful house and the pool was just an added benefit, the real beauty of this place is the location near that amazing beach. Be sure to check out the display of stars at night! If you can fly into Governors Harbor Airport to avoid the long drive to the North Eleuthera Airport.

We had a wonderful stay at Miss Ruby in Eleuthera for Spring Break 2026! House was a perfect set up for two couples and 3 teens. It had everything we needed and Misty was quick to respond on Whats App if we had questions. Beach was a short walk from the property and so beautiful and peaceful! They even had beach chairs and beach towels for us to use. We really enjoyed our stay....having Tippy's near by was a life saver for those nights we didn't want to travel far for a quick bite and good drinks! Thank you for a great vacation!

6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
House was a little run down: Pool was dirty: Shower not working and could not get the host to fix it: Had to cram everyone in the main house due to insect infestation: 3- power outages a day, generator did not work: beach was covered in trash. The pictures are nice but reality is the house needs repair.
