New house at eleuthera's most sought after location: banks road - golden mile Tradewinds is a secluded 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa, with a private pool and spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean. Located on the Banks Road in the heart of Eleuthera's “Golden Mile”, it is 900 feet (3 mins walk) across Bank's Road, down a deeded path to a beautiful, quiet, pink sand beach. The property also has a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom guesthouse which is available to rent with the main house. (The guesthouse is ONLY available to rent WITH the main house -it is not rented independently. Cost to add the guesthouse, $100 extra per night.) The area from Governors Harbour to North Palmetto point is the most spectacular and sought after stretch on the island, with gorgeous pink sand beaches, amazing reefs and great restaurants and cafes. You can walk from the house to Tippy’s restaurant along the beach. The house is set in 1 acre of native, tropical vegetation, which creates privacy. The private pool is 24 x 12 feet, with a constant 4 foot depth, ideal for swimming or just relaxing after a day at the beach. 1800 sq feet of spacious decks, both covered and uncovered, allow for sunbathing, enjoying the ocean views, outdoor dining, or relaxing by the pool. The entire property is exclusively rented to you, with no other renters or owners on the property. Elegantly furnished throughout, the house is inverted, with the great room and kitchen on the upper floor allowing wonderful views and breezes in the main living space. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances and a large island with bar stools. Downstairs, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, Smart TV and spa-like ensuite bathroom with a claw-foot tub, walk-in waterfall shower and double sinks. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed, and has its own private balcony - perfect for morning coffee. The second bedroom can also be converted from a king-size bed to 2 twin beds.The guest bathroom has a walk in shower. There is private high speed internet throughout the house. Beach chairs and 2 sets of snorkels are included with the rental. You can snorkel the reefs, swim, or walk for miles along the pink sand beaches that start just a 3 minute walk from the house. There is a 42" flat screen Smart TV (with a Netflix subscription) in the great room. The house is located centrally on the island in what is considered the prime location in Eleuthera. It is near the best Pink Sand beaches, and there are several restaurants within a 10 minute drive. The area is called the Golden Mile for a reason! You will be swimming in crystal clear waters, snorkelling gorgeous reefs and relaxing on some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the world. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa -

We thoroughly enjoyed the home with comfortable beds and clean refreshing pool. The 3 min walk on the sand path through the palm trees opening to the breathtaking Atlantic beach was a bonus.

Words can’t describe how beautiful and tranquil the beaches are on Eleuthera. The Trade Winds house is a great central location to adventure out or simply stay in and relax on one of two balcony's. Easy walk (just across the street) over to pink sand beaches and within walking distance to Tippy's restaurant and bar. Nothing tops our host, Jethro, who is a wealth of information about the island and so kind to help when needed. We can’t wait to return next year! We will definitely book with Jethro again! ##### Jason W. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### susan m.

May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our sanctuary in paradise This was an absolutely amazing rental home. The location was perfect: a quick and easy drive into town and an easy walk to the beautiful beach across the street. Eleuthera can feel rural at times and while this property is tucked a bit out of the way and felt quiet and private it was still easy to access. We loved the town of Governor’s Harbor and were really happy to have this location as our base for exploring the southern side of the island. Everything matched the listing accurately and the layout of the house was perfect for our group of 6 friends and couples. Great common space and a really well appointed kitchen that made cooking at home a breeze. That top deck with ocean views was so peaceful and comfortable for morning coffee. Jethro is a hospitality pro, he welcomed us so warmly, took his time showing us the ins and outs of the property, and was happy to give advice about which restaurants to go to and which beaches and excursions to check out per our group’s needs. We took a lot of his advice and were so glad we did!!We all wish we could’ve stayed much longer and are eager to return. Thanks, Jethro! ##### Abigail O.

This was our third time staying at one of Jethro’s properties, and the first time staying at Trade Winds. On previous visits, we stayed next door at Sea Shanty. This time, we had another couple join us, so we reserved Trade Winds, and it did not disappoint!There are so many hangout options – whether you want shade or sun. The decks were great, and the pool was wonderful!Jethro is a fantastic host. Great communication, and very responsive to any requests.The location of the house is perfect for exploring the island – and the beach across the street is gorgeous. Perfect for a sunrise, or a walk to Tippy’s. As with Sea Shanty, the beach access is across the street, down a short, tree lined path (maybe 3–4-minute walk). We prepared most of our dinners at the house, which was well equipped. Overall, a terrific experience. We can’t wait to go back! ##### Susan S.

The only issue is that it is listed as a 3 bedroom when it's actually a 2 bedroom. The pool house makes the 3rd bedroom and that has to be rented separately. Other than that, this place is fantastic.

Over the 10 years we’ve been coming to the island Trade Winds is the best value we’ve had yet. It’s a great tucked away property with privacy, great access to beach, actual walking distance to Tippys and Jethro is outstanding. We’ve never had such a great host. This property is the perfect blend of real Eleuthera and comfortable housing. We will absolute stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Thank you so much Jethro for all your help and information. This is just what we were looking for. ##### Burt W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan T.

The grocery store is 6 min drive and under 20 mins to GHB airport. Everything you need is stocked in the house. The beds are comfortable. The views from the top porch are gorgeous. And, I can't overstate how awesome Jethro and his wife are at hosting. They went above and beyond on multiple occasions when things went sideways due to my stupidity. Incredibly gracious and genuinely kind hosts who live near the property. You will have no regrets selecting Trade Winds for your stay on Eleuthera. ##### Nathan T.

We loved this property. It had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the AC was cold. The owner, Jethro, was easy to reach and communicate with and gave us some good ideas on what to do. He lives near the property, so he met us there when we arrived, and gave us a tour and explained everything, which I greatly appreciated. There were plenty of towels, both beach and bath, and he provides a 5 gallon jug of water to start you off which was nice. Everything was clean and and the living area is a nice space for a group. The house is convenient to all things in Governor's Harbor. We ate at Tippy's, which is right down the road. If we ever travel back to Eleuthera, I would not hesitate to stay there again. ##### Jason L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry L.

Sound of waves can be heard from the deck. Sunrise from the front deck each morning was wonderful. Sunset off the side deck is also great! Kitchen is well stocked for coooking and nice that staples were left behind from past guests, inlcuding extra drinking water. Be sure to go to the Island Farm store and the Market in Rock Sound was impressively stocked, especially for us as vegetarians who coooked most of our meals at Tradewinds. Information provided by host on nearby beaches, stores and restaurants was very helpful in our planning and considering what to do each day. Host was also very responsive with suggestions and help of any kind. December was a little too cold for us to use the pool but it was cleaned everyday in case we wanted to take a plunge. The secluded beaches, the adventurous roads, the wonderful shops and stores, the very helpful residents and shop owners, and Island Farm are the reasons we will be returing as soon as we can! ##### Jerry L.

It was stocked with everything needed, including beach chairs, ice chests, toys, and snorkel gear. The location near Govenor's Harbor was the perfect take off point to explore the many wonders Eleuthra has to offer. And at every turn Jethro, the home owner/property manager was there to assist. He saved the day more then once when we had car trouble (a rental car is necessary and an adventure in itself), even taking us to get pizza for dinner while we awaited our repaired rental car. Our excursions to Cathedral and Preachers Caves, Sapphire Blue Hole, Harbor Island and Spanish Wells were all wonderful day trips and regardless of where we explored the locals were warm, helpful and inviting. The hi-light was a charter with Captain Kid out of Spanish Wells, stunning beaches to comb, snorkel, swim with sea rays and pigs was not to be missed. We hope to return soon. ##### Terre F.

The house is well appointed with everything that you need to live there. There are a collection of toiletries as well as TP and PT. The kitchen has all you need to cook (stay like you live there) with seasonings -we added garlic powder, mustard, Mayo and salad dressing- all the small appliances and kitchen equipment is there. The grill is nice, and we used it a few times. Your beach days are covered with chairs, mats, toys and snorkel gear for the family. Bring your fishing poles! Don’t fill your suitcase with beach towels they have many. The lovely pool and deck with lounges gives you something to do on your “down time.” The two upper decks are ideal for sunrise, sunset, star gazing, meals and a spectacular space launch we saw go right over head!! The location is perfect for exploring the island top to bottom. Jethro and Cate, your hosts, go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. With tips on where to eat, what to see and things you shouldn’t miss while you’re staying. If you want to live like a local and have it feel like your home. Stay here, I assure you you won’t be disappointed. ##### Kristie L. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jami L. Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Slice of heaven! This property was absolutely perfect in every way. Spacious, clean, fully stocked with beach towels, kitchen appliances and dinnerware. We enjoyed sitting on both decks, listening to the waves and watching the sunrise/sunset. Location of this house is exceptional and Jethro was an amazing host. He made himself available as often as we needed and had so much helpful knowledge of the island. The pool on site was a huge added bonus. It’s big enough for the kids to play in or just to enjoy while you cool off from the sun. The property is a very short walk to the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen! We spent most of our time there. Kids loved swimming in it, walking around finding beach treasures and exploring the rock barrier at the south end. They played in those shallow pools for HOURS as the tide went out. Tippy’s was definitely a bonus to have within walking distance and full of lovely people. Food is very good, and live music was very enjoyable. Coco Cream (ice cream) was a nightly treat and only a short car ride away- kids really looked forward to that! The restaurant next door, Buccaneers, was also amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious- we even bought a bottle of their ghost pepper hot sauce to take home. We will absolutely be back to Tradewins! Highly, highly recommend this property and location. My husband and our two kids (12 & 9) had one of the best vacations we’ve ever had together. Thank you again, Jethro! ##### Jami L.

May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### JUST BOOK IT After rescheduling our trip to Eleuthera 2-3 times due to Covid and then a medical issue, we were finally able to make it down to stay at Jethro’s property and it was totally worth the wait! The home is located in a nice area that gets you away from everything! The beach across the street is STUNNING and you MIGHT see 1-2 other people strolling the sand but you also might not. The property was exactly as listed and well appointed-Jethro and Bubbles (his sweet pup) stopped by upon checkin to go over a few things and that was really nice. Speaking of Jethro, you can expect his communication with you to be stellar - truly a helpful and gracious host! He now sets the bar for all VRBO hosts LOL. Highly suggest Tippy’s which is super close to the house (amazing customer service, food/drinks, and view; popping down to Ten Bay Beach (about a fifteen minute drive from the house) which was jaw dropping beautiful, visiting the Glass Window bridge (and if you’re brave and careful climb up on the rocks for some amazing panoramic pics), and hitting The Market supermarket for groceries. We did go to Harbour Island for a day trip; rented a golf cart to scoot around and it was really nice-much more of a bougie scene on that island and a lot more people if that’s your thing. But we were quite happy at the beach across the street from Jethro’s and then cooling off in the pool at the end of the day! Felt totally safe during our whole trip. Like I said, JUST BOOK IT. ##### amanda m.
