Stunning Beachfront House, Walk to Tippys! Pool Table, Foosball, POOL!

Welcome to Palisades. This spectacular home sits directly on Unicorn Cay Beach, a mile-long stretch of pink sand on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the prime location on Eleuthera. Famous Tippy’s restaurant is a 5-minute walk down the beach. The town of Governors Harbour, with restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and banks, is less than 5 minutes away by car. Unicorn Cay is usually deserted, so don’t be surprised if you have this mile of pink sand entirely to yourself.

Palisades’ grand bay windows provide a 50-mile, 180-degree view of the turquoise ocean and pink sands below. These hurricane proof glass windows are engineered to withstand up to 200 mph of direct wind. The glass has a special tint to help keep the house cool. Right outside of these windows, you will find yourself standing on a cascading deck that spans three levels and 60 feet onto the sands of Unicorn Cay Beach.

This luxury home features all natural stone throughout, including marble, travertine, granite, and river rocks. With 3200 square feet of interior living area, Palisades offers plenty of space for large groups to spread out, including game rooms with pool and foosball.

Enjoy our spectacular new oceanfront infinity pool with stunning ocean views. The pool can be heated at your option for $500/week.

Perfect piece of paradise
House was perfectly located on insanely gorgeous beach with reef nearby. Went snorkeling, used the kayaks a ton, saw sharks (little lemons and a nurse - nothing to worry about, rays and dolphins right in front of the house. Walked to Tippy's every other day for lunch. Relaxed in the infinity pool at the end of each day with perfect view of the beach below. We only explored the island one day (Glass window, Queen's bath and Hatchet bay caves) because we didn't want to leave the property as it had everything we needed to unwind and enjoy the perfection that is Eleuthera. Sherman was awesome and only a phone call away for any help that was needed and the owners were immediately responsive to answer any questions we had.

Beautiful Bahama beach stay
We had a bit of a rocky journey getting there. Unrelated to our stay purely weather related. That said once we arrived, everything was perfect. It was a beautiful beach house right on the ocean. The weather was perfect. We loved Eleuthera and the host was wonderful. They provided a lengthy list of things to do….helping us arrange activities for the kids, as well as helping with rentals and things to do throughout our stay. Thank you so much!

Our group of 6 had an amazing time at the Palisades Beach House. The house was spacious & had everything we needed. Being able to walk down the stairs to the empty beach was great. We frequented Tippy's restaurant, walking there multiple times - very convenient and the food (and drinks) were delicious. The locals were so friendly & inviting. We had a great time! We'd definitely recommend this property and hope to visit again soon!

Relaxing spot, immaculate vibes
Everything was great. The house was as advertised, and fairly well stocked. The cleaning crew was still there when we arrived around checkin time, and was rather unpleasant to me when I asked whether we could come in. The caretaker, Mr. Culmer was there as well, and he said we could just leave our luggage in the garage while we waited for the cleaning crew to finish. We walked to Tippy’s to wait, because that’s what you do on Banks Rd! That was a little hiccup right at the start of the trip, but everything else was just as expected. Very nice house - I can recommend it to anyone.

A week in paradise
Palisades is a fantastic property in a beautiful location in the middle of Eleuthera. The house has just about everything one needs and if something is missing, the caretaker, Sherman, will take care of it. He is truly a lovely man who grew up on the island and was extremely helpful. A few things to note: you're on an island so while the house may come with internet, that doesn't mean it is always working in the community. We didn't have access the first three days. The house is also dated but this is a Bahamian Island. It's palatial compared to many of the villas and local homes. Groceries and personal items are difficult to come by if you are looking for certain things. For pharmacy items, bring them with you. Get eggs and fresh produce at stands on your way from the airport. We found two great ones: one in Hatchet Bay and the other in Palmetto Point (Island Farm). And while you're there, ask Sherman to open some fresh coconuts for you. It's completely worth it.

15 days family vacation
It was our first time on the island and we had a marvelous time. First off, I would like to say that we were 7 adults, 1 teen and 4 children. The house is located in central Eleuthera which allows you to do excursion to the north or south parts of the island. We enjoyed the kayaks, the snorkel masks, day trips to Spanish Wells, Harbour Islands, and many days relaxing on that magnificent beach. Wow what a beach. Close by there is a reef which we saw sting rays, a lobster, many fishes. Plus the local restaurants were great, ‪Tippys (walking distant)‬, 1648 and The Buccaneer Club (are close by). Regarding the house, it fit us comfortable, it was clean and the two different tv areas was great for the kids, well supplied. Views are amazing!! This time with the family here will be cherished forever and looking forward to next time!
