This was our first time in Eleuthera, and it was amazing! Exploring all of the different beaches each day was so fun, and they were truly beautiful. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. Location was very good also. The pool was nice to have, and the kitchen was fully equipped. AC was great and we had hot water at all times. Even if there was a power outage the generator kicked on right away. Dom met us at check in and gave us a full run down of the house and all the suggested things to do in the area. He was quick to reply when we needed anything during our stay. Golf cart was fantastic to take to the beach and beach items were much appreciated. Only downside was the neighbor dogs that bark non-stop and prevent you from being able to leave towels, suits or anything outside because they take or tear up.  The groceries and restaurants are extremely expensive, so bring what you can for food and expect double/triple prices that you're used to in US. Overall, highly recommend!!!

Definitely will come back! Loved the house and the location! The golf cart was so convenient!   Most beautiful beaches! 


The coffee shop “squire” was a daily visit, not far from the house.

This home was absolutely beautiful! My partner and myself have been to multiple locations worldwide, and this, by far, was the nicest, best maintained, and cleanest abode we have ever stayed at! Our host, Dominic, was very accommodating, informative, and congenial, and he providedus with excellent information about local activities.

The home was well stocked with all the kitchen utensils and personal toiletries that are needed for a comfortable stay!

The accommodation was centrally located in Governors Harbour, and it was situated in a walking distance to town, restaurants and activities. A gasoline powered golf cart was provided for easy access to a local beach, which was absolutely stunning!

We would highly recommend this stay to other guests!

Tops House was serene and pristine.  The floors gleamed and everything was super clean.  Joy and Dom were always supportive and responsive. I’ve been coming to Eleuthera for many years now and would continue to trust my lodging with Joy and Dom’s properties.

Joy and Dom were fantastic hosts! They allowed an earlier than listed check in to accommodate our flight time. Restaurant/activity recommendations were provided in great detail and was greatly appreciated. Communication prior to, and during the trip was exceptional. Would recommend staying at any of their properties! Will definitely stay with them whenever we return to Eleuthera.
