It is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the most desirable location on the island.

Jun 18, 2024 #### Fantastic Vacation at The Better Life Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Communication with the rental agency was prompt. Misty, the property manager, very responsive and helpful. The home is beautifully appointed. No need to worry about power outages as there is a full-house generator that kicks in within seconds. The proximity to the beach is as described. The pool was refreshing and the pool deck chairs so comfortable. Would highly recommend staying at The Better Life. ##### Patricia O.

Very comfortable home with lots of space for our family. The pool was refreshing and there were several lounge chairs for relaxing. The beach was only about 100 yards from the house and it was beautiful but because of the near constant 20 mph winds it was too rough for swimming and snorkeling. Instead, we went to Ten Bay beach on the leeward side of the island ( only 15 minutes away) for a relaxing afternoon on one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. We hope to return soon ##### William W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg C.
