Governors Harbour, Eleuthera, The Bahamas

Low Cay is a delightful cottage residence which exudes modern serenity in island living. 

This one bedroom cottage offers singles and couples a taste of local life combined with a five-star European standard of interior design, and is complete with modern amenities - including Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout.

The main living area at Low Cay features wonderfully tall ceilings that provide grandeur scale to the residence that its charming exterior keeps modestly hidden. This space combines an open-plan, well equipped kitchen and breakfast bar with a spacious and elegant lounge. 

There is a full washer and dryer tucked away behind closet doors in the kitchen area. The living room includes comfortable sofas, a bespoke driftwood table, LED TV, a Bowers & Wilkins 'Zeppelin' docking station, and floating, translucent linen curtains.

The deluxe bathroom contains a large walk-in shower with a sand blasted glass privacy screen, and a hand-made driftwood console with twin basins. There is also an enclosed hot water shower to the side of the villa which provides a refreshing, al-fresco bathing alternative.

In the bedroom, a locally designed and constructed super-sized queen bed (66"W) and side tables - with an individually commissioned US box spring mattress - opens to a beautifully furnished lanai room through French doors. This fully screened area, which overlooks the secluded terraced and private landscaped garden, is a wonderful space to enjoy morning coffee, evening cocktails and dinner, or just simply relaxing! An electric grill is supplied for guests' use. 

To the front of the villa, a full width terrace with extended sun deck offers extraordinary views of beautiful sunsets that fall over the harbour below.

Conveniently situated in the heart of the Governor’s Harbour community, Low Cay is a 2-minute drive away from the world-renowned French Leave beach - one of the finest beaches on the island and one of the great beaches of the Caribbean. The town of Governors Harbour is only a short walk downhill and includes grocery and liquor stores, a few favourite restaurants as well as a café and local bakery, ATM services, a local dive/fishing supply shop, and fresh fish and lobster for sale from fisherman at the town dock. The historic Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, and Wesley Methodist Church (c. 1883), are also located here. 

The island of Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and paddle boarding are very popular water activities. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, bottomless blue holes, many unique beaches, historic churches, and many small villages and settlements to explore.

Glenn and I loved a home Dom and Joy managed in January 2020.  So when we could finally return to Eleuthera  this year we looked to find one of their places.  We got lucky - Low Cay proved to be delightful.  So sorry to leave - but we’re already looking  forward to our next visit ~

The house is perfect for a couple with plenty of space to feel like at home.
Very well located, close to the best beaches of the island and the best restaurants

Joy & Dom are the perfect hosts.  I have stayed at their properties several times and the service is top tier. They are always responsive, make the booking process easy  and their local recommendations are spot on!

The house was very clean, nicely decorated with a wonderfully appointed kitchen. It was located in a cute historic district of Governor's Harbour where you could walk to a couple of grocery stores, a gift shop and the Friday night Fish Fry. The only problems we encountered were the neighborhood feral roosters that woke us up before the crack of dawn every day and we had lost power four of the seven days we were there. A back up generator would have been nice.
