Villa de plage privée récemment rénovée avec vue sur la piscine et l'océan
Cette maison des Bahamas magnifiquement rénovée et modernisée conserve son terrain et son jardin d'origine, tout en bénéficiant du confort et des commodités modernes. Driftwood se trouve sur une colline avec vue sur l'océan depuis chaque chambre. Une promenade de 5 minutes en bas de la colline vous amène à la plage de French Leave de renommée mondiale (anciennement Club Med), tandis qu'une promenade de 10 minutes dans l'autre sens vous amène aux restaurants et boutiques du village de Governor’s Harbour. Pas besoin de voiture de location!
Pour entrer dans la villa par l'avant, vous passez la piscine privée de 10'x30 ', en haut des escaliers, et sur un vaste porche qui surplombe les jardins paysagers et l'océan au-delà. À la porte d'entrée, vous entrez dans la salle à manger ouverte, avec de grandes fenêtres à l'avant et à l'arrière pour accueillir les alizés et les bruits de l'océan. L'intérieur est clair et lumineux, avec des murs blancs, des sols carrelés et des plafonds en bois. À droite, la salle familiale décloisonnée et la cuisine moderne entièrement équipée avec des comptoirs en granit, une table de cuisson au gaz et des appareils en acier inoxydable.
À gauche de la salle à manger se trouvent deux grandes chambres. La première est une grande chambre d'invités / enfants avec lits jumeaux (qui se transforment en lit king), un placard et sa propre baignoire juste en face du hall. La seconde est la suite parentale au rez-de-chaussée avec salle de bain attenante (baignoire et douche), deux placards et un lit king-size. Les deux chambres ont accès à un patio privé pour profiter des vues et des sons de la nature au soleil du matin.
La suite parentale à l'étage est accessible depuis l'escalier du hall. Il a un grand balcon donnant sur le parc et l'océan au-delà, une grande salle de bain avec double vasque et un grand dressing et un lit king-size. Il y a beaucoup d'espace pour se détendre et profiter d'un bon livre ou d'une sieste l'après-midi.
En plus des 3 grandes chambres dans la partie principale de la maison, Driftwood dispose d'un studio séparé et ouvert avec chambre, salle de bains, salon, placard et cuisine complète. L'entrée principale est d'un autre patio privé à l'extrémité nord de la maison; la seconde est une entrée de plain-pied dans la cuisine du jardin arrière. De plus, la baignoire studio dispose d'une douche à seuil bas pour accès handicapés. La partie principale de la maison et le studio d'une chambre sont réunis dans la buanderie commune, équipée d'une grande laveuse et sécheuse. Le studio peut être verrouillé du reste de la maison.
Le patio arrière et le jardin sont accessibles depuis la salle à manger ou la cuisine du studio. Il est privé, protégé des vents forts et bénéficie de la lumière du soleil de l'après-midi, parfait pour les grillades en plein air. Après une journée sur la plage, profitez d'un plongeon dans la piscine et des boissons sur le porche. Le bois flotté est magnifiquement aménagé avec des fleurs tropicales, des palmiers et des arbres fruitiers et de noix.
Driftwood est à quelques pas de la ville et des restaurants à proximité, y compris le Buccaneer Club et Da Perk. D'autres restaurants à proximité incluent Tippys (à 4 minutes en voiture) et le Sunset Inn (à 5 minutes en voiture). La ville historique de Governors Harbour possède des épiceries, des banques avec des distributeurs automatiques de billets, des boutiques de cadeaux, des magasins d'alcool, une boutique de plongée, une boulangerie et des restaurants.

Family vacation
We loved Driftwood. It was the perfect house for my family of seven adults. We all had our own bathrooms, the beds were comfy and everything was well appointed and beach. The location was amazing . 5 minutes to beach by foot. The pool and coconuts kept the boys busy, while we lounged on the biggest most beautiful beach I've ever seen . French leave beach was pristine. The management company was so responsive ! It was a wonderful vacation we will never forget. Thank you.

Grateful we chose The Driftwood
If we come back we will stay here again. After several days of no issues, storms rolled in the morning we were leaving and the generator worked perfectly. The property manager was so helpful, even helped to make it so we could see the meteor shower clearer by changing the outdoor lighting. The house was lovely, and stocked better than expected. The beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked perfectly. One of the most beautiful beaches was minutes away as well as great restaurants and shops. This was really the best place we could have stayed at.

Our Introduction to the Bahamas
Our house was lovely and so well equipped. There was plenty of room for all of us and we loved how nicely the home was decorated. We enjoyed the pool everyday. The road to the beach was pretty rough and I wish the house had been a little closer. We had a car, but a golf cart would have made it easier. It was still a great introduction to the Bahamas.

Frequent traveler to Eleuthera wanting to stay closer to town for a portion of our trip. Driftwood, in Governor's Harbor, was ideal in every way. The Owner could not have been more delightful, EVR so helpful and property management responsive. The property offered spacious and clean rooms, nice light, and all the amenities to make the stay comfortable. The pool is such a plus!!! Spent time each day enjoying being refreshed. Easy access to restaurants, groceries, and French Leave Beach.

Overall - House is good not great. Has potential with some upgrades/ better upkeep Pros - Location close to French leave, good for groups with the separate in-law suite, pool is great - plenty of room for kids to play Cons - House needs a deep cleaning, some paint and overall closer attention to maintenance needs by management (ex: shower curtains with pink slime at bottom, broken shower heads, dirty doors, etc). Water pressure was an issue (very difficult to shower). House has bare necessities but not as comfortable/homey as many other houses we’ve stayed at in GHB.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I am sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay. As I mentioned in our personal emails to each other, I have discussed them with the property manager and we are addressing each and every one of them. I sincerely hope that you enjoyed your visit to Eleuthera and had a wonderful vacation. We appreciate you choosing Driftwood and again, appreciate your feedback. It's important that our guests tell us not only what they love about the property, but also where our areas of opportunity are.

Fabulous Home
My husband and I needed a quiet, relaxing vacation and this home fit the bill perfectly! The location could not have been any better as it was a 10 minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been on and we have traveled extensively. We were greeted by Misty who is the property manager and was so helpful and accommodating with restaurant suggestings and places to visit, such a friendly and warm person. Although the home had 4 bedrooms, we only need one and had plenty of room to relax. The house well appointment, spotless and has everything you need to make you feel like you are home. It is decorated in bright and calming tones with ample pool toys and towels as well! We relaxed with coffee each morning on the deck deciding what beach to visit which was the hardest decision we had to make all day (besides where to eat!) We ended the day with a cocktail by the pool! Perfection! Although there is some building going on in the area, we were not bothered at all by the noise. The house is well insulated and we were out the door by 10 am most days returning at 4 when all construction concludes. My only regret is that we had to leave!

Our family of 8 adults met on Eleuthera for a week in March. This was a return to the island after more than 30 years for several of us, and we were pleased that it has retained its charms and natural beauty. Driftwood House is very well located if you like spectacular beaches, charming towns, and a central location from which to drive and explore. The house is well designed, furniture is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. Visitors should know however that the water is from a cistern and is not potable. We drove to various food stores to refill 5 gallon jugs of drinking water every other day. The house was perfectly clean and is well cared for. We all enjoyed Governor's Harbor, the Friday night fish fry and conch salad stand, the library, nice restaurants, etc. We went to French Leave Beach daily, as well as other beaches. We jumped into the Sapphire Blue Hole, kayaked at Edwin's Turtle Pond, snorkeled on the way to the Schooner Cays, visited Harbor Island, and the Leon Levy Nature Center. We need to come back to do more exploring on this pretty island with such friendly people!

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Driftwood. Driftwood has town water, as well as a cistern for back up. Eleuthera does not have water-borne diseases like Mexico, so the water is typically potable, but most visitors drink bottled water anyway, just to feel secure.

We loved our stay at Driftwood. The house and property were perfect, spacious and comfortable for us and our 3 grown children and 1 significant other. The kitchen was well stocked with all items if you want to cook. Misty and her staff were very helpful and responsive especially as we were arriving at the end of a very bad storm. A few suggestions I might pass on to the owners as both an interior designer and a STR host is that a few additional comfortable pieces of furniture in the upstairs bedroom would be wonderful. The view is fabulous and I would have loved to curl up on a comfortable chair to read up there especially as our weather was a bit cool and windy. Additionally the tab style drapes were very difficult to use- either get blinds or attach rings and hem drapes so they slide over the rods easily. A note to first time visitors too- although the food and restaurants are wonderful it is VERY expensive! Plan on spending a lot of $$$ for good and drinks. We were planning on cooking more but the seafood boats were not running due to the storm. It is worth it though as the close French Leave beach is one of the best beaches we have seen in all our travels.

Pre 50th Birthday Celebration
Property looked exactly as advertised! Pool was clean and refreshing. Beach cart and umbrellas were spot on. Made our beach outings easy breezy! Beach towels provided for guests were colorful and large, made packing from home less stressful. Landscaping was spectacular. We even saw a few lizards and beautiful birds. Pictures from master bedroom balcony were fantastic. Home would benefit from vacuuming, noticed plenty of hair in every room from previous guests. Pantry wasn’t thoroughly cleaned as well. Coffee grinds were left in coffee maker. Electrical outlet on one side of kitchen wasn’t working. We had to move coffee maker to an additional outlet. Keurig coffee maker would make a pleasant addition. White decor gives home a spacious vibe but bedroom doors were noticeably dirty. Bathroom mats should be washed after every guest, as well. High efficiency washer/dryer was a plus! We didn’t use the studio, but area had an unpleasant odor every time we exited the home from the back. Drawstring garbage bags would make trash disposal easier. Kitchen was well established made cooking enjoyable. Overall, property was inviting and cozy. Would definitely return.

Our vacation started off with the most helpful host-Misty. We had many delays and she helped us navigate through them and helped us get on a ferry to the island.When we arrived to The Driftwood House the outside looked tired but the inside was bright and had all the accommodations mentioned in the description of the house.The house was clean at first appearance but the floors had hair all over them along with sand-no big deal I am good at sweeping!Our stay was a grand adventure and we had lots of fun.Unfortunately the Droftwood House was broken into on a Thursday when our host knew we were out for the day visiting Harbour Island and her son was supposedly to be on the property to pick up the trash and put chemicals in the pool.When we rreturned to what we thought was a secured locked house, the door to the guest wing was unlocked. The house had been ransacked with $1200 in cash taken, 3 mens bathing suits, mens underwear and socks, an A&M Columbia shirt, a pair of Addidas shoes, Vuori Shorts, and ear phones from Apple. Oddly enough the very next evening we ran into Misty at a restaurant celebrating her birthday. When we arrived there was a gentleman outside of the restaurant that was not right-I would say on some kind of drugs.As it turns out it was Misty’s son.This was no happenstance that this event occurred so it would reveal what happened the night before.Misty said she filed a police report but when talking t a police Sargent in Nassau she followed up on it and nothing was reported. I also asked Misty for the Home Owners name and number and she would not share them with me. I went down every path to get to the owners and Dina finally emailed me.After speaking with the owner of the home I am hoping she can get this situation under control so other visitors can visit Driftwood and feel safe and confident they will not be robbed.Myself and my family have travel around numerous islands outside the U

Break-ins are very rare on Eleuthera, but they do happen occasionally. There is no evidence whatsoever that the property manager's son was involved with the break-in, and we don't believe he was involved. The property manager and her son manage a dozen properties on the island and have been doing so for years. None of the others have experienced break-ins. This guest has insisted that the truth of her accusations were "revealed" to her in some supernatural way, but we have to stick with the actual facts on the ground, and those facts in no way implicate the property manager's son.
UPDATE to Driftwood review:
Our property manager, Misty, has been working with a fellow property manager in relation to the allegations at Driftwood and a report of a separate incident at a different property not affiliated with Driftwood. Security footage obtained from that property resulted in the apprehension of 2 individuals believed to be responsible for both break-ins. It is unfortunate that Misty’s son was falsely accused of the crime and that his character was publicly called into question.
As noted in our initial response to the review, crime is not common on the island; however, it is an unfortunate reality, as it can be anywhere in the world. We want to personally thank Misty, the other property manager and the Governor’s Harbour Police for working together on this matter in helping both residents and guests alike, safely enjoy the magic of Eleuthera.

Great space and location but make sure the doors are locked!
The house was beautiful and in a great location, but suffered some of the quirks of an out-island Bahamian home: two of the four bathrooms did not produce hot water, the can lights in the master bedroom never turned on, and one of the secondary bathroom's lights were tough to turn off at times. We have family in the Bahamas and visit different islands annually - these issues are fairly common but nonetheless inconvenient.
The proximity to amenities (restaurants, bars, grocery stores, bakeries, etc) was great and a bit atypical for a rural island like Eleuthera. The walk to the beautiful Atlantic-side beach was convenient, the Club Med ruins were fun to explore, and being centrally located on the island made day trips to the north and south readily accessible.
However, our first night we were burgled out of $600 in cash. After checking in and stocking up on essentials in town we made an hour-long visit down to the beach. We saw a ton of shooting stars and had a great time. Lo-and-behold the next morning two of my friends discovered ~$300 in cash missing from each of their purses that were left in the living room while we were out. They know it was taken while we were at the beach because they used their wallets for supplies in town just prior to our little beach adventure.
We made sure to lock the front door, but one of the downstairs bedroom doors must have been unlocked when we arrived cause it was unused and not locked when we assessed the house when we realized the money was missing. The rear sliding door was also unlocked, which very well could have been left open by one of us. I later realized that a gift I had brought for a family member in Nassau that had been neatly wrapped with a bow was also nabbed from the master bedroom.
The most troubling part of this was we were clearly being watched because they struck very quickly at just the right moment. Fortunately, in their hurry, they didn't entirely clear us out of cash.
Misty took the burglary very seriously and contacted the police (who we never heard from directly) and brought batteries for the safe that was inoperable upstairs. Unfortunately it is not mounted to the wall, so it could be carried off very easily...
Ultimately, after this initial shock and discomfort we had a scenic, adventurous, and wonderful experience. Every Bahamian we interacted with was warm and inviting and we all plan to visit Eleuthera again in the years to come.

We are glad that you enjoyed the house, but very sorry about the issues. Immediate action has been taken to resolve the hot water and electrical issues. As you know, Eleuthera is famously safe; however, there are some instances of petty theft. We are sorry you experienced this during your stay. We hope that it did not tarnish the rest of your stay. Thank you for your feedback.
