About this house rental
Sweetcorn House is an elegant 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom contemporary rental located at the top of the main hill in Governor`s Harbour, within a small collection of homes on Governors Estate, where the manor formerly owned by Sir Harold Christie - a trailblazer in Bahamian real-estate history - still stands. Sweetcorn House is part of the distinguished Governor`s Harbour Collection, a select group of top-tier rentals in central Eleuthera.
The ground floor of Sweetcorn House is open and spacious, and features a large and sunny living area, ideal for entertaining. The great room has comfortable lounge seating for families, and a dining room table with seating for eight.
The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and features an island, with additional bar-chair seating. There is an adjacent powder room and laundry room, complete with washer and dryer.
There are two separate bedrooms on the ground floor, both with private en-suite bathrooms - one is a Queen room and the other, a spacious King Suite, with a mini kitchenette, coffee/tea making supplies and toaster, as well as a separate side entrance.
The top level of Sweetcorn House is devoted entirely to the master King bedroom Suite. This spacious suite features a sitting area, modern bathroom, two private balconies, and a sun deck with views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sweet Corn House overlooks tropical, landscaped gardens with a private deck and swimming pool, and a casual outdoor dining area. There is a newly added screened in porch to the south of the house. At the guest`s option, the pool can be heated for a fee of $300 per week. Beach/pool towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, snorkeling equipment and several cooler bags are provided for guests` use.
Other amenities at Sweetcorn House include ductless air conditioning throughout, large, flat-screen SMART TV, Wi-Fi Internet, Bluetooth speaker, travel crib and high chair, and an outdoor gas grill.
Although Sweetcorn House is offered self-catered, housekeeping services, private chefs and provisioning, and other resources are always available for an additional charge.
The town of Governors Harbour, a three-minute walk down the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897. Governor`s Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, dive shop, and several gift stores.
A stroll downhill from the estate in the other direction leads to French Leave Beach, one of the finest beaches on the island and one of the great beaches of the Caribbean. By foot, it’s about 8 minutes to French Leave, a mile-long crescent of pink sand which is literally deserted most of the time.
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.

This property is a special find!
We have done many vacation rentals, and this truly tops them all. We did not want to leave.
Sweet Corn House is located in the village of Governor's Harbour at the top of the hill overlooking the Atlantic on one side and facing the Caribbean on the other.
The house is beautiful, so well-appointed and so well maintained. It has every amenity coupled with comfortable beds and sumptuous living spaces. A lovely screened in porch for morning coffees. A stunning roof top deck with sweeping ocean views for afternoon glasses of wine! This is such a special house. And so close (walking distance) to beaches, restaurants and other amenities. A true home away from home. Property managers are communicative, attentive and top notch. We have already booked for next year! Phenomenal!

WOW – where to start?! This is an amazing property, in an amazing location with amazing property managers! We are absolutely in love with this place!I’ll start from the beginning. We arrived in Eleuthera under COVID lockdown and curfew restrictions on a Friday afternoon. Frazzled from travel stresses, we got to Sweet Corn House to find Joy and Dom had so kindly thought of everything. Knowing there was a weekend lockdown with no access to food stores or restaurants, Joy had stocked ample provisions for breakfast, lunch and dinner including homemade lasagnas and beer and wine. We literally just had to unpack and unwind. Even with the weekend curfew, we were able to happily chill by the pool, on the wraparound decks and – our favorite – on the rooftop deck off the second floor master suite. Heaven!The house is immaculate and so comfortable. It is beautifully furnished and generously stocked with pretty much anything we could want. Thoughtful little touches abound – shampoo, soap, hand sanitizer, beach bags and more! Such a lovely beach house! There is a little bar area off the bedroom closest to the pool deck where you can replenish a drink and fetch beer without having to traipse through the house. In the pool house we found snorkeling gear, pool floats, beach chairs and beach umbrellas. Everything we needed for either pool lounging or beach lounging. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with greenery all around. And everything is absolutely within walking distance which is awesome! It’s about an 8 minute walk to French Leave Beach which is probably the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. And we were almost always the only ones there. We usually walked to the beach as it’s a lovely, easy walk, and only used the golf cart when we needed to bring beach accoutrements and coolers. The house is also an 8 minute walk to the village of Governor’s Harbour where you have all the amenities you need. Buccaneer’s is a 5-minute walk down the hill and is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner and some traditional Bahamian drinks. We spent a lot of time there, lol.Dom and Joy are the most attentive and accommodating property managers we have ever encountered. They thought of everything and made us feel welcome and cared for. Thank you for making our stay so perfect!We have already booked our next stay. This was truly our most enjoyable vacation rental experience ever!
