Overview & Photos

Gallery

Rocks Retreat is a privately owned beachfront estate with 335 feet of Atlantic Ocean frontage on 12 secluded acres. It is located along the ‘Gold Coast’ of Eleuthera on the Banks Road. It consists of 2 cottages, which are connected by a tiled patio. Both cottages are always included when you rent the property. It provides excellent value as a private, secluded, direct-beachfront estate in the prime Governors Harbour location.

The Main Cottage is a 24 x 24 two story structure with a broad wrap around veranda. The entire upstairs is one enormous bedroom with two queen beds and a single bed. It has wonderful ocean views from its many windows and two lovely balconies, providing cool breezes. The downstairs of the Main Cottage is a large great room with a full kitchen, dining room, and living area. The sole bathroom of the Main Cottage is on the first floor. It is a small bathroom and includes a tile shower. The kitchen area is small but adequate, and has been newly remodeled. There is also an outdoor shower on the veranda, which we recommend using.

The Master Suite Cottage is a one story spacious en suite king bedroom. It includes a sitting area, desk workspace, a double sink bathroom with a tub and separate tile shower. There is a nice veranda in the front and also a second outdoor shower.

Rocks Retreat is set back 100 yards from the ocean and includes the spectacular Culmer's Rocks that separates the north from the south beach. We have private access to both world renowned pink sand beaches, which are typically deserted. The estate is made up of primarily palmettos, with stately palm trees and other landscaping. The grounds are maintained by our gardener. You have 12 acres all to yourself!

Amenities include WIFI, air conditioning on the second level of the Main Cottage and first floor of the Master Suite Cottage, washer/dryer, and Sonos speakers. You can use the WIFI to stream movies and shows on our two TVs in the Main Cottage. We also have beach chairs and a cooler for guest use.

Pet’s are considered at Rocks Retreat. There is a $75 pet fee and a $500 security deposit for guests who bring pets.

If you haven't been to Eleuthera, you will need to understand that on occasion, the Bahamas power or water service will go out for periods of time. We have a backup well that can be turned on if there is a long delay. We do not have a generator. This is just part of island life.

For longer term renters, our housekeeper will clean every two weeks and remove the garbage. If you prefer more frequency, you can arrange prior to, or upon arrival with Marsha Clark our housekeeper and cover the additional costs directly.

Rocks Retreat is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour. Famous Tippy's restaurant is just a mile away. The town of Governors Harbour is a 5 minute drive. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, two bakeries, gift shops, and a dive shop. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster from fishermen at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won’t want to miss it.

A guest from Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario Canada recommends this vacation rental.

We enjoyed everything about this home! We particularly loved the two different buildings.The grounds were beautifully kept, and it is located directly on an amazing beach location. The home was set back a little from the ocean- it was private and very peaceful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals at home. We hope to stay here again next year.

Paige B. from Charlotte, NC United States recommends this vacation rental.

This was one of our favorite vacation properties. We had 3 teens who stayed in the main house & my husband & I stayed in the apartment. it was the perfect set up- dinners & movies together in the main house & we all had our own spaces to sleep. the location and beach were stunning. Most days we had this beach & many others to ourselves. Rental company and caretaker were extremely helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Roberto Carlos G. from MONTERREY, Nuevo Le Mexico recommends this vacation rental.

The location is really good with lots of space and a 5 minute walk to the secluded beach. The property is well stocked and has everything you could need. The only downside was that there were a lot of wasps, and also mosquitoes inside the big house, so I would recommend better fumigation / pest control. There were also some blinds missing in the upstairs room and some maintenance is needed. Overall, we liked it and had a good time.

A guest from Vail, CO United States recommends this vacation rental.

Love this house so much!!! Rocks Retreat is amazing! I’ve been coming to Eleuthera 11 years and stayed all over the island. I think the location is perfect. It’s close to Governors for restaurants and grocery shopping, and between Tippy’s and La Bougainville so convenient for dinners out or a beachside lunch. It’s easy to fly into GHB airport. The house is incredibly private because the acreage and sits directly on the most beautiful beach. It feels close to nature. There is a Venus pond right in front of the house that’s created by the rocks and tide. The home has peekaboo views of the ocean and you can hear the waves. Because it doesn’t sit directly ocean front it’s more protected from the wind and other elements we found this really relaxing. The floorplan and layout is a little unusual, but not uncommon for Bahamas cottages. The description is accurate. There is a house with kitchen, dining, living room and bunk room on the second floor. It feels more like a cabin. The master is a separate structure and was incredibly comfortable. The layout is a king bed with small sitting room. The bed is awesome and very comfortable. Going between the main house and primary suite is a little strange, but not a big deal. We loved this house and can’t wait to book again. Don’t think twice stay here!

This is the second time we stayed at Rocks Retreat on Eleuthera, obviously the first time was a good experience so we stayed again about 4 years later. The location is central to the island, located in Governor's Harbour with easy access to groceries and places to eat or get takeout from. The house is super well appointed with just about everything you could need and its location pretty much has its own essentially private beach on the Atlantic side of the island. beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water, crystal clear water, and memories for the making.

Daniel D. from Port Stanley, Ontario Canada recommends this vacation rental.

We sold our businesses a few years ago and bought an RV to travel around North America. Before we picked it up we were surprised to find out we were expecting an addition to the family so we headed out in the van to get in what we could before we welcomed our son into the world. During that time Covid became a thing in our world so we locked ourselves in for a couple of years. During that time we decided we would book a vacation for a couple of months in January 2022 truly thinking the pandemic would be over. As time grew closer our parents all had some health issues including one with covid and covid was not letting up. We were back and forth on whether to go or not but in the end we went for it. We could not have made a better decision. Kristin booked us the absolute perfect place for our family and friends to enjoy. The property was insanely private with us all enjoying outdoor showers daily and basically the most beautiful private beach you could dream of. We did some fishing and went and saw sea turtles a couple of times but otherwise we were fully content to be at Rocks Retreat. Marsha who handles the property is an incredible lady and our son absolutely adored her. Thank you to all of you for making this experience absolutely amazing.

Beth F. from Terre Haute, IN United States recommends this vacation rental.

My husband and I just returned from our 7th trip to Eleuthera. We enjoy trying different house rentals. Rocks Retreat ranks as one of our favorites. While it does not have full water view the path to the water is both easy and enjoyable. We have not experienced privacy like this home offers. There was not a single item we needed ( except food items) during our 10 day stay that was not available in the home. Decor is welcoming bed in master comfortable linens better than most all the beach needs. Best is the absolute privacy. Caregiver answered all emails quickly house was very clean.

What can we say, it was the perfect place to spend three weeks with the family. The kids loved it, we loved it. A quick stroll to the beach everyday, but having all that property to explore and birwatch was fantastic. Location is perfect, right in north Palmetto Point but feeling like you are out in the bush! The houses were well stocked with everything that we needed. All the appliances were in great shape, the beds were comfortable, and the furniture was in great shape. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay, and look forward to coming back.

A guest from Saluda, SC US recommends this vacation rental.

This property has two buildings - the main house (kitchen facilities & 3 beds upstairs) and the master suite cottage (single large bed - very comfortable - we slept here). It's a short walk to the beach from the house along a private path. The property fronts onto the beach near some large rocks that form a natural barrier. You can go down to the beach on either side so it's like having access to 2 beaches - since we were looking for seclusion we chose the side with fewer or no people. Everything in the house was functional that we tried (oven, fridge), although the AC remote controls were a little hard to figure out. Overall, a very nice place - we would definitely go back.

A guest from Markham, ON Canada recommends this vacation rental.

We had a great stay at Rocks Retreat! It is in a great location close to town, and the beach is one of the most beautiful we’ve had on the island. The house has modern updated furniture with comfortable beds. It’s very clean, air conditioning works well and had everything needed for cooking our own meals. Lots of space for lounging around and we loved the beach chairs, umbrella and floaters! The walk to the beach through a beautiful private path was short and really nice.
Marsha the home manager was always quick to respond to our questions and came right away on the one occasion that something didn’t work.
We would definitely stay there again!

This is our second year to spend 2 weeks at Rocks Retreat. The house and guest house are clean, charming and beautifully decorated. The grounds are wonderful – coconut palms and giant century plants. The location is convenient and the beach is fantastic. My wife and I are in our early sixties and we had no difficulty with the stairs to the second floor of the main house or accessing the beach. The rental includes new beach chairs, which came in handy for times at the beach. We are looking forward to returning again next year.

Our stay endured the common power and water outages of Eleuthera, but these inconveniences were more than made up for by the location, condition and provisioning of Rocks Retreat. Marsha was great to work with and was exceptionally response when needed. The terrific beach is just a short walk, perhaps a few hundred feet, from the house and is spectacular. We enjoyed the peaceful setting and the easy access to both ends of the island by vehicle. Everyone we dealt with made us feel right at home.

Great property and location on Banks Road. We have made many trips to Eleuthera but this was the first time staying at Rocks Retreat. It is just like the description so read completely! We loved it and will definitely consider staying there again (depends only on our number of guests next trip). Beach is one of
the best around and very few others to share it with. Marsha was great and we only had one concern which was addressed within the hour so we could not have asked for better.

This was our third 2 week stay in 3 years. The location is ideal for exploring the Governor's Harbor area as well as the farther southern and northern locations of the island. The separate guest house provides good privacy for a second couple. The beach at Rocks Retreat is one of the most beautiful on the island. Nearby restaurants that we enjoyed this trip - La Bougainvillea (our favorite), Tippy's and 1648.

Ty S. from United States recommends this vacation rental.

We spent a week at Rock’s Retreat and it was amazing! Our family made memories that will stay with us forever.

Prior to arrival:
Tuck (Owner) and Matt (Reservation Agent) were very helpful with all of the questions we had (food, car rentals, entertainment). They generally responded within hours to our questions, if not minutes! This was especially helpful while planning a trip with extended family.

Positives:
- Beautiful home and guest cottage. Pictures don’t do it justice.
- Private estate.
- THE BEACH! The beach is about a 100 yard walk from the cottage. We were there every day. We hardly saw anyone on it for the whole week we were there accept for us. It was incredible!
- Staff were kind and very informative.

Negatives:
- None about Rock’s Retreat.

My wife and I have been to Eleuthera many times. It was the first time for a few of our family members. We always tell our friends and family Eleuthera is a ‘choose your own adventure’ type of vacation. The vehicles are not the greatest, the roads are rough, and there are power outages. But the island experience is not like anything we’ve had before. You won’t wait in line. You are not surrounded by tourists. The locals are kind. The food is amazing. We visited a new beach every day and hardly ran into anyone!

We used Trip Advisor as our entertainment app. We have checked out almost all of the Top 20 Things to do on their list.

J. Pierre B. from Beaconsfield, QC Canada recommends this vacation rental.

Rocks Retreat is a perfect house or those who want to have privacy, and still be close to amenities, like food stores, restaurants, local attractions, and gift shops. The house is very well maintained, it was clean when we arrived, and Marsha Clark, who manages it, was always available and ready to help if we needed it. The city water system shuts down at times, but the house has a well that supplied as much water as we needed, with the flip of two levers.The beach is a short and lovely walk through a path lined with palm trees. We took long walks on the beach both ways, and met very few people along the way. The walk to Tippy's restaurant takes about 30 minutes, and the other way, to The Bougainvillea resort, takes about 20 minutes. Great lunches at both spots. Right at the foot of the path is a series of rocks, called Culmer's Rocks. They form a beautiful break wall for the ocean waves, making for scenes of spectacular crashing surf. At the foot of the path there is a lagoon that is great for swimming, for kids of all ages.
Kim and Jason, from Eleuthera Vacation Rentals, are very nice to work with, business-like, and pleasant. We recommend Rocks Retreat to anyone who wants a quiet vacation, with opportunities to enjoy the island's beaches and other attractions. Thank you Kim and Jason, and Marsha and Arthur, (for switching the water supply one Sunday evening). JPB

The main house kitchen was very well equipped with high end knives and cookware! Appliances were so-so, but functional and in good working order. Beds in both buildings were comfortable and had nice linens. The grounds were well kept, and the walk to the beach was not too long. The beach was spectacular! Snorkeling and swimming were excellent. The air conditioner in the main house really isn't big enough to cool both up and down stairs. The air conditioner in the guest house/master suite is very good. I think this property is very nice and well worth the money. The caretaker, Marsha, was extremely helpful!

Our 15 days at the lovely Rocks Retreat was absolutely AMAZING!! This property is beautiful and the cottages are so cute. The location is perfect. The secluded pink sandy beach is something out of a dream. Our daughter had the time of her life hunting for hermit crabs, land crabs, snails, and exploring with her goggles in sea. The houses are maintained wonderfully and the manager of the property is the BEST! She is quick to help and solve any issue. Our family would definitely recommend Rocks Retreat to friends and family. We are looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you for a most memorable vacation. My kind of place, never wanna leave;)

We had an amazing vacation and Rocks Retreat was the perfect place to stay! The house and guest cottage are beautiful, clean and exactly as described, minus the beach chairs that we thought would be there but we’re not. The property housekeeper met us there and offered 2 of her own chairs and an umbrella which was very kind. Definitely necessary~the sun is intense! The walk to the beach is short and the cove and stretch of private beach is a slice of paradise! We cannot wait to be back!!!

Guy C. from Houston, TX US recommends this vacation rental.

Well, first I want to thank Marsha (host) and Arthur (driver) for picking us up from the airport and making sure we got to the house safely.

Once we arrived at the house we realized that the place was bigger than we expected. There are two seperate spaces, one house for the master bedroom w/bath and side living room, then the main house that was two story. The main house had a living room, breakfast area, kitchen, bath on the first floor. The second story was an open bay concept with 4 beds (2 of them queen) with their own spaces to store luggage and hang clothes.

We liked the private beach entrance, which was a path that lead you down to the beach. It literally felt like we had our own beach because it was so private. The water was crystal clear and it was a great place to be and stay. I would go back and stay at this home for sure because it had everything you needed, down to the towels and silverware, glasses. If you need a rental car, get to the house first and marsha will help you out with the rest, she was super sweet and helped out alot.

A guest from Sycamore, IL United States recommends this vacation rental.

This is our 8th time on Eleuthera, and third separate rental. This house is nice and offers everything one would need to enjoy Eleuthera. The house is set back from the beach by about 100-150 yards, so don't expect to easily see the beach from the front porch. However, the beach and its unique "cove" geology are certainly awesome and worth the slight inconvenience of line of sight from the house. I do wish there was a welcome basket with some basic essentials like I've experienced in other houses. Only other slight was no TV (for watching football), but knew that going in. Overall, property was in good shape and had everything one would want to enjoy. The rental next door (on the rocks) had two families with lord of the flies-type kids that overran the beach (and rocks retreat private property) at times, but that is certainly not fault of owners. Marsha (manager) was responsive. Will likely be back ...

A guest from St, Charles, Illinois United States recommends this vacation rental.

Great stay! Nice place great access to the beach. Close to town so if we needed to make a quick run to town for supplies it was a short drive. We loved the beach. The cottage was well appointed and clean. Can't wait to come back but next time for a longer stay!! We love Eluthera it is so
