You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Governor's Harbor just 7 miles to our south is a bustling with restaurants/bars.
PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION SO YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE RENTING...THANK YOU.
GENERAL INFORMATION; ***We have an extensive page Trip Planner document that gives tips on everything from; SUV rentals and flight information to the best restaurants, beaches, tours and everything in between. Most guests find that document to be invaluable and it saves them a lot of money.
***We have a great SUV rental guy who gives all of our guests special deals for renting with us since we refer so much business to him. We also have the best tour/fishing guide in the Bahamas. He specializes in the swimming pigs, all sorts of fishing and spearfishing trips, lobstering, sea turtles, sand bars, rope swings, etc. He also gives our guests the best deals on the island. We have been using both guys exclusively since since 2016. The owner of the property also can rent kayaks and snorkel gear and stuff like that for you.
***Bahamian owned - So the cool thing is that your funds go right into the local economy, not in the pockets of a foreign investor. Eleuthera is generally a fairly poor island and that is a BIG deal for their economy.
***Please note we do not accept any pets, emotional, support or therapy animals due to extreme allergies/health related issues in our family.
WHO WE ARE AS HOSTS; We have been VRBO/HomeAway Premier Hosts since 2016 with over 20 properties and many thousands of reviews online averaging 4.95 stars average out of 5.0 stars. We always respond to any guests concerns immediately and have a well seasoned staff in every location. For example this cottage, the Bahamian owner lives locally so if you need anything they are right there. We have thousands of reviews online.
PROPERTY OVERVIEW; There are 3 villas at this property so if your dates are not available please ask us and we can direct you to the two other villas or one of our other many properties we have on the island. The entire property compound is fenced and private with lovely grassy area along with many palm trees and flowering shrubs. Each villa is identical with 2BR and 2 Bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining area, living room and 3 separate outdoor decks. All villas have their own private space and BBQ gril. The pool area and hot tub, elevated sundeck and gas firepit and exterior dining table are shared spaces. The hot tub is obviously heated and the pool is not heated. There is lots of deck furniture around the pool and up in the sundeck area. There is an outdoor shower by the pool. There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer on the property grounds as well and is free to use for each guest. The reality is most of our guests end up hanging out at our property and especially at our beach after they have explored the island for their first few days. They realize having a pool and hot tub is a great asset and there is no nicer beach on the island than Airport Beach. Also A quirky, but really cool thing if you love nature, is we have a resident Yellow Crested Night Heron that lives at our property and is always hanging around the pool (see our photos).
YOUR VILLA; Each Villa has excellent mini split Air Conditioners in each room, FREE Wi-Fi, a phone to make FREE local calls, large Smart TV equipped with cable and FREE parking at the property. All villas are equipped with 2 bedrooms with a queen bed in each and also the sectional couch in each villa serves as another area for 2 people to sleep if you have 6 people in total. With 4 people each couple has their own bedroom and their own bathroom. There are 2 full bathrooms with walk-in showers with large ceiling rain shower heads, a large well stocked full kitchen with a dining table and chairs. The kitchen has a full size fridge, electric range/oven, microwave, large sink, blender, toaster, Melitta coffee maker, Imusa Expresso and Cappuccino maker, lots of pots and pans and kitchen gadgets to cook full time if you desire. There is closet and storage space in each Villa. Each villa comes with 3 private decks attached to your individual villa off each bedroom and the main entry living area. There are hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings as well. You will also have your own gas grill with FREE propane to use during your stay to grill all that seafood you catch with our boat captain! Each villa is exactly identical to the others so there is no difference between villa 1-2-3. Enjoy incredible sunrises and sunsets from the decks and views of both Caribbean Sea to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The setting is very relaxing and the perfect place for mental health, stress relief and to unwind. Safety is something many guests ask about and our location is extremely safe and our property is well lit and we have never had a single crime issue. Eleuthera is generally a very safe island not be confused with other non-safe Bahamian islands such as Nassau. PLEASE NOTE; The villas are identical, however the one you are renting may have slightly different decor on the walls or different colored bedding as shown in the photos, etc.
OUR LOCATION; The Landing Villas is located about 7 miles north of Governor’s Harbor the island's capital. Remember Eleuthera is long thin island being 110 miles top to bottom and only half a mile wide. So if you pick the wrong destination to stay, be prepared for a lot of driving on some bad roads coupled with gas prices being double as back home! We are in a superb central location for exploring both to the north and to the south of the island and we are very close to the island's best attractions. See our map in the photo section. Airport Beach, one of the nicest beaches on the island (and in the world) is right at the end of our dirt road which is a 1 minute drive or a 5 minute walk. You can literally walk for miles in either direction along the beach and enjoy some of the best snorkeling on the entire island with the coral formations just offshore. There are many beaches, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, liquor stores, food stores, banks, island attractions and gas stations all within 3 – 15 minutes away heading north and south. Here is a (short-partial) list of attractions and beaches and restaurants and how far they are from us;
Airport Beach – 1 minute Navy Beach – 1 minute Receivers beach – 2 minutes Knowles Drive Beach – 5 minutes The Deck Beach Bar and Restaurant – 5 minutes Leo Rose / Mel’s / Lee’s all beach bars and restaurants – 7 minutes Pascal’s Pool Bar and Restaurant and Beach – 8 minutes Twin Coves Beach – 10 minutes Governors Harbor the capital – 10 minutes 1648 Restaurant – 10 minutes Buccaneer Club restaurant – 10 minutes Friday Night Fish Fry – 10 minutes Blue Room Restaurant – 10 minutesFrench Leave Beach – 12 minutes James Cistern Point Beach – 12 minutes Tippy’s Bar and Restaurant and beach – 15 minutes Rainbow Beach, Hidden Beach, Smugglers beach – 15 minutes Rainbow Inn Bar and Restaurant – 15 minutes Edwin’s Turtle Lake Marine Preserve – 15 minutes Leon Levy Preserve – 15 minutes La Bougainvilla Pool Bar and Restaurant and Beach – 20 minutes Poponi Beach – 20 minutes Duck Inn Restaurant – 20 minutes North Palmetto Point Beaches – 20 minutes Double Bay Beach – 25 minutes 10 Bay Beach 25 minutes
ELEUTHERA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE; If Miami Beach is your thing we respectfully suggest you pick a different destination. Eleuthera is a sleepy island with some flaws; bad roads, dated infrastructure, more frequent than back home power / water / internet outages, geckos sometimes will be in a home and painfully slow service at certain places. In Eleuthera people are genuine, helpful and kind. It is unspoiled and gorgeous and mostly empty going back back 75 years in time. You will explore the most stunning beaches you have ever seen and have them usually all to yourself. Last but not least, crime is very low in Eleuthera unlike other Bahamian and Caribbean islands.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

The property was clean, quaint and was well supplied with kitchen equipment, toiletries, etc. It's a great location in terms of traveling north or south on Eluethra. Chris was responsive and his trip planner came in handy such as where to go, eat and have fun! Bahamians were friendly and helpful as well!

Visit the Beaches if Central Eleuthera
The Landing Beach Villa is centrally located very near the Governors Harbor airport. From the cottage you can see both the Caribbean and Atlantic, but the best part is access to Airport Beach a short drive or walk to the beach. Very well-equipped kitchen. The pool and hot tub in the center of the complex is a nice place to relax when not walking the nearby beaches.The Trip Planning document provide by the property manager is very helpful in preparing for your visit. You can pack light, as there is a full-size washer and dryer on the property. The central location allows you the flexibility to easily tour south one day and north another.

Great location and property
The property was a great stay for us both location wise and set up. We were able to relax with our toddler and explore the whole island from the Landing. We enjoyed having the pool to unwind in after days at the beach and loved the proximity to Airport Beach which was a hidden gem for it's beauty and seclusion. The hosts we very responsive to communications and provided great references which we used when booking our trip and activities. We really loved our visit to Eleuthera!

Great house, but caretaker not very responsive
Our overall experience was good. As warned in the 13 page pdf document that comes with the listing, the power can go out. It did because of a severe thunderstorm our 1st night. It was restored by the authorities the following morning, which compared some other places I know, was very fast.
have given the place a 5 start rating if it hadn't been for poor communication with the care taker and some maintenance issues.
The house on the inside is great. Clean, comfortable had all supplies we needed (minor issue with the kettle leaking). The outdoor space looks good, but some aspects are not well maintained. While the pool was clea, however the chair cushions had mold, there were no functioning umbrellas at the pool. For going to the beach there one umbrella and one chair were broken. The other chair was partially broken, but still useable. There was no light from the parking space to the entrance gate. The Direct TV and Chrome cast stop working within 24 hours of each other.
We notified the caretaker of all thr above. He was very slow to respond (average of 8 hours or more), if he responded at all. That was our biggest issue.
Overall, it was a good experience.

Landing beach villas
“Terminal 2” at Landing Beach Villas was perfect for our Eleuthera trip. We wanted to explore BOTH sides of the island, so the location was ideal. Everything was clean, almost as if it was brand new. Chris met us at the airport with our rental car and answered any questions we had. We flew in to ELH on the north side of the island, but would definitely arrange flying into GHB for our next trip - it is right across the street-but we never heard any airport noise. We saw the sunset from the front porch and could see the ocean on the other side of the island from the back. The pool is beautiful but we spent all our time exploring and never used it.

Fabulous all around
Our trip to Eleuthera was the absolute best vacation we have ever been on. The island is amazing. The Landing Villas are very clean and centrally located. Chris was fabulous!
He took us to swim with the turtles. We went sailing one day- which was very beautiful and relaxing. Ten Bay beach is our favorite for sure. We also enjoyed Gaulding Cay Beach and Rainbow Bay Beach.
We went snorkeling several times. We found dozens of sand dollars and collected many beautiful shells. We visited Ocean Hole and Sapphire Blue Hole, Preachers Cave and Hatchet Cave. Queens bath and Glass Window Bridge were comparible to no other.
The only negative- Spanish Wells was a disappointment to us. We were expecting more.
Tippys was awesome- we went twice. Sunset Grill was good. We ate at Twin Brothers, Rainbow Inn and a few others. 1648 Resturant was top notch. It was our favorite.
The sun rises and sun sets were stunning. The blue waters are gorgeous.
We highly recommend Landing Villas.
Free laundry, pool, hot tub, stocked kitchen.
We will be returning for sure!

Great Find
We a wonderful experience during our week long stay at the Landing Villas. Chris and his team are super professional, kind, helpful- the list goes on. The villas are just as described. Our kids loved the pool. Airport beach is beautiful. However, with having 2 young boys (ages 7 and 8), we found that the beach across Queens Highway was the perfect location for us (Cocochina(?) Beach). We swam and snorkeled multiple times and the kids saw lots of cool fish including a barracuda and star fish. We also did the pigs and turtles excursion which was a blast! The villas are centrally located on the island, which is nice and convenient when wanting to explore the different parts of the island. I would love to return one day!

Good for a short stay
The unit itself was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked ok- bathrooms were miniscule. There were not any tiki hut/shade palapas on the beach as advertised. I live in a hurricane prone area so I know about storm damage but the listing and house information should reflect that change. Also, there is a large construction project going on adjacent to the beach area for this home which greatly diminished the appeal of the beach nearest the house so we went to other beaches.
My friend and I had both traveled to Eleuthera before but a first time visitor might have been disappointed by not knowing about the beach construction.
Chris was very nice, helpful and promptly replied and assisted with the one issue we had during our 4 night stay.
As a frequent user of vrbo for many years I think it is a shame that visitors don't feel comfortable giving honest reviews and all owners feel they must have a "5"- not every place is a "5" and that is fine. I prefer some honest assessments myself when I read reviews and am perfectly capable of deciding what is credible. This was a convenient, clean and nice place- quiet since we were there mostly by ourselves during our stay. We very much enjoyed our time on the island.

Nice getaway, central location
We enjoyed our week in Eleuthera, staying at The Landing Beach Villas. It was a nice spot for us to sleep and eat in between lots of much needed beach time. Clean with comfortable beds and air conditioning, and central location to a lot of places on the island.
The beach down the road is beautiful, but we had to find an alternate way to access it as the dunes right at the end of the "road" are very steep with soft sand and overgrown plants. We found a better way by taking a right before the end of the road and there is another semi-cleared path to a less steep beach entry. But all of this is typical Eleuthera...undeveloped beauty that you have to work a bit to access. Also, 99% of the time we went to other beaches anyway which were also amazing. So prepare to pack up the rental car and explore the island, which can be a good bit of driving since the island is long and skinny. That said, we also enjoyed the pull offs (from Queen's Hwy) to the beach right below GHB airport where there is some decent snorkeling right off the beach. In these very calm waters is where my 16 yo daughter got practice snorkeling as it was her first time.
We had a great trip and thank the responsive Marielbys and Chris for the accommodations and car rental.
