About this house rental

Welcome to The Better Life and Cottage. This newly constructed home (will be completed April, 2024) offers a gorgeous heated pool with a gazebo. (There is a $50 per night fee to heat the pool.) It is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the most desirable location on the island. Better Life is a two-minute walk down a deeded path to spectacular pink-sand Poponi Beach, one of the most sought-after beaches on Eleuthera. There is excellent snorkeling right off our beach. Bring your snorkel gear!

A three-minute walk down that beach takes you to La Bougainvillea boutique resort with its excellent beachfront restaurant and bar. A four-minute drive takes you to Tippy's famous beachfront restaurant. Island Farms market is just 5 minutes from the property. It offers fresh produce plus homemade breads, cinnamon rolls, jams, jellies, dressings, pesto, salsas, and so much more. Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just eight minutes away by car. Governors Harbour has restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, liquor stores, and a great fish fry every Friday night.

Better Life is reverse living at its best. Open floor plan upstairs with views of the Atlantic Ocean. There are two decks, one facing the pool and the other facing the ocean. Better Life features a great room with 15-foot ceilings, a spacious living area with a large sofa, comfortable for sleeping, but not a sleeper sofa, and a dining area with table seating for eight.

We enjoyed our stay at Better Life and Simple Life. The large house had ample space for our party of 10 to relax and spread out. It provides Very easy access and just a short walk to the gorgeous beach which was almost always ours alone! Great proximity to Island Farms and beaches on Caribbean side as well. The beautiful swimming pool is perfectly situated between the two houses with plenty of lounges and towels for all. If you are looking for privacy and lots of room to spread out, I highly recommend this property.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was overall very clean. We had 4 elderly people, so the stairs were a little overwhelming. For being a new home, it has a lot of maintenance that needs to be done, such as all the downstairs ceilings, closet doors, and electrical outlet holes. There were a lot of bugs in the house. The pool was very clean when we arrived, but no maintenance was done during our stay and it got very cloudy and murky. The walk to the beach is also very treacherous for older people when coming back, since you have to climb a steep hill. The house kitchen was well stocked with all the essential appliances and cookware. I think this place would be ideal for a family with young kids, however would not recommend if you are bringing senior guests.
