Welcome to Lavender Beach House. This stunning new luxury home is perched above a two-mile-long pink-sand beach with just 5 other houses along the entire length of it. Walk for miles, swim, snorkel, or enjoy the powdery sand of this pristine beach.
Step into Lavender Beach House and take in the sweeping ocean views from the great room. The luxurious modern kitchen is fully equipped and finished in white quartz and stainless steel. Appliances include a gas range and French-door refrigerator. The large quartz-topped island has seating for six.
Lavender Beach House has two bedrooms plus a loft. The master bedroom has a king bed, an ocean view, and an en-suite bath. The guest bedroom has a queen bed and an ocean view. The guest bedroom and great room share the second full bath.
Above the great room is a loft furnished with twin beds. It's a perfect hideaway/bedroom for kids and anyone else who can climb a ladder.
From the great room, step out through the eight-foot sliders onto the deck with its sweeping beach and ocean views. The deck is furnished with a teak dining set that seats six. The steps from the deck lead down to the path to our deserted beach.
Amenities at Lavender Beach House include AC throughout, WIFI (but no TV), washer & dryer, books and games, beach chairs, umbrella, and gas grill. The house is equipped with a battery back up system to run the WiFi and lights in case of power failures.
The Deck Restaurant is located at the southern end of our beach, a long walk or a short drive. (Hours are somewhat random, so call first!) Other restaurants within a 5 to 7 minute drive include Pascal's, Leo Rose, Delish, and Mel's Snack Shack.
The village of James Cistern, a five-minute drive from the house, has three grocery stores and a liquor store. Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is a 10 to 12 minute drive to the south. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, a bank with an ATM, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman 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.
The small Governors Harbour airport, with just a few flights each day and no jet flights, is just five minutes from the property. The much larger North Eleuthera Airport (ELH) is a 50-minute drive.
Rates are on a sliding scale based on the number of guests. We set the rates this way to make the property more affordable for smaller groups who use less utilities and put less wear and tear on the house. If you enter the correct number of guests, the reservation system will calculate the rates correctly.
