Luxury Seafront Suite with Spectacular Sunset Views

The suite is situated on the top floor of a Victorian style villa on historic Cupid's Cay in Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera. Suncrest House is engulfed in the beauty of the Bahamian seas, from all sides. The western side has the deck which overlooks the rocky crag that meets the astounding azure waters of the Exuma Sound. The eastern window displays, the lively dock side where the mail boats come in, which extends onto a half mile white sand beach that houses the fisherman’s wharf near town center.

A few native families still reside on Cupid’s Cay and located all in a 1 minute walking distance are a few restaurants, a pub, a convenience store and 2 churches.

Governor's Harbour is a beautiful harbourside town that has earned the title of being a calm and peaceful settlement. The 110-year-old Haynes library is situated in Governor's Harbour, along with century old churches. The Haynes Library Beach, and The Fish Fry Beach - where a local fest every Friday - both border the causeway to Cupids Cay and is a 2-minute walk from Suncrest house. After exploring Cupid’s Cay and Governor’s Harbour on foot, you would want a vehicle for exploring the 100-mile-long island, its mystical caves, bottomless ocean holes, and it’s abundance of endless beaches that are nestled in Eleuthera.

This is a very cute property. It is in third floor, but the exact flavor of the area I was looking for. The lady managing it was quick to respond to my needs and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I do not recommend it if you are overweight or have mobility issues. Otherwise…it’s perfect! Ac works good, overhead fan, greet hot shower!

You get what you pay for
We stayed one night at this property. It would have been zero nights but we didn’t have another option for the night. Three flights of stairs was more than we could handle but the accommodations were horrible. This is a converted third story unit that is super-strange. The shower is on one side and the toilet on the other. The lighting is just weird. Can’t see in the mirror in the sink/toilet side because there is a dim light above the toilet. There is absolutely no place to store your clothes; no dresser or drawers exist. No counter space to prepare meals to cook and a fan or the tv does not work. The night was interrupted by locals fighting most of the night. We did not feel safe. The view is an old run down house on one side and a bunch of old containers on the other.

Amazing
We had such a wonderful time staying at Theresa’s house. She was so helpful with planning and contact information. The sunsets from the side porch were something to remember! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us! We will absolutely be back to Eleuthera !

Stay at Suncrest House
Suncrest House is the perfect getaway if you are looking to be away from the typical tourist spots on Eleuthera. Beautiful water views, a walk to Governor's Harbour restaurants and markets, close to pink sand beaches and nightly sunsets from your apartment balcony. The owners, Theresa and Andrew Burrows are extremely accommodative and local residents over-the-top friendly. I would like to return. Ron Wedekindt, Buffalo, NY Jan. 2020

Lovely place to stay :)
Andrew and Theresa were welcoming and very helpful. The property is centrally located, charming and the view is breathtaking. We had everything we needed for a great time. The mattresses for the bed and sofa bed need upgrading; but otherwise it was a wonderful trip. We would definitely visit again.

Visit to Paradise
Such a glorious week in paradise! Thank you, Theresa for welcoming us to your beautiful island, and to Latoya for such a yummy breakfast and good conversation! Also thank you to Andrew for picking us up in North Eleuthera and for the historical perspective. The beaches, snorkeling, sunsets, and many restaurants - all were fabulous! Theresa, I will wear my brooch with such fond memories. We look forward to our return, and Theresa we look forward to welcoming you to New England! Can’t wait for you to add those burgers!

Host is wonderful, noisy convenient location
5 stars for Theresa, and her family, all of whom helped us enjoy our visit to Eleuthera; 4 stars for the accommodation which was lovely and complete with what you need but strange light controls all from the bathroom (renovated dark room!);, and 3 stars for location which is at a working dock.

Relaxing in E Lutra
We returned to the Northeast a week ago after a truly relaxing 7 days in the Bahamas, based in Governors Harbour at 'Theresa's Place' (it is on the map as such!). During our stay we ventured well south on the island of Eleuthera, and north to both Spanish Wells and Harbour Island which are reached by short water taxi rides and so worth it. Governors Harbour is a very pretty and historical small town and Suncrest House is located on the tip of the scorpion tail (known as Cupid's Cay) that forms the harbour. We had water views on three sides and unobstructed magnificent sunsets. The location may not be as upscale as many on Harbour Island but the natural unpretentious charm very quickly grew on us and all necessities were just minutes away, including some of the most beautiful and virtually private beaches you will find anywhere. The general store is a time warp in itself stocking anything you could ever think of needing. Local restaurants such as The Buccaneer Club and Tippy's are a short drive from 'home.' The latter is located right above the beach and both atmosphere and the food are great. '1648' is also very good for a more sophisticated change and Da Perk is excellent for breakfast; go for the raspberry and white chocolate scones!!! The house is cute, well equipped and very clean and suited us perfectly. Right next door the owner of Suncrest has a small cafe and a tiny gift shop that is stuffed with an amazing selection of quality 'souvenirs.' The jewel in the crown of our experience was in fact Theresa herself. She knows everyone, her advice was invaluable, and we so enjoyed just shooting the breeze with her. Theresa epitomizes all that is so wonderful about the Bahamas, cheerful, friendly and down to earth. Long may our more than 40 years love affair with this Island nation continue.

Awesome house!
Great house in the perfect location for exploring the island. We were able to see the north and the south without a long drive to get back home. The harbor has great restaurants and plenty of things to do. The fish fry is a must. Very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals.

Wonderful space in a convenient location.
The house itself is clean and comfortable and updated. It is a great central location for short trips to the beach or nearby towns, and day trips further north or south. We felt very safe, and Theresa was very friendly and available.

Cozy and comfortable
This villa is located right on the end of the point in Governor's Harbour. It's clean, well built, and with great views of the ocean on three sides. The bathroom is a bit tight, but the shower is good and roomy. The downstairs is plenty big enough for two people, and I love the upstairs bedroom. The owners are local Bahamians, both very friendly and helpful. They own the small café next door, and live about ten minutes away. The villa is located right next to the port, so if a ship comes in you get to see it unload. We didn't rent a car, so we walked everywhere, including to French Leave beach on the other side of the island. The town is quaint, the locals very friendly and helpful, and there are good grocery stores and restaurants. A wonderful, affordable accommodation, and I wouldn't hesitate to return another time.

Perfect location, great house, we loved it!! <3
Me and my husband stayed a few days at Theresa's house and it was great! The location is perfect, especially if you want to visit the entire isle. It is close either to the north part either to the south. Minutes away from the beautiful beach French Leave where you can find nice restaurants and bars (1648 Bar & Grille, Tippy's Restaurant, Bar & Beach, Sky Beach, etc). Not far away from The Cove, witch you should definitely visit! You should rent a car, the Island is quite long. Theresa can help you with that. The house is very clean and beautiful, actually quite romantic :) ! Convenience store very close, full equipped kitchen, very good internet connection! Theresa is a very nice person!! I definitely recommend! We loved it!!!

Lo mejor del lugar es su propietaria Theresa, si surge algo enseguida lo soluciona con su amabilidad, el lugar es seguro nadie toca nada. Si tu intención es recorrer toda la isla la ubicación es ideal dado que se encuentra en el centro.
