Ocean Views, Private Pool, and Lush Botanical Garden

Refresh your Heart & Soul! Located just north of Governor’s Harbour on the island of Eleuthera, the Heart and Soul house is your private escape to paradise. This Island retreat is located on top of a hill catching cool breezes and providing generous views of the Atlantic and Caribbean waters.

Enjoy the private botanical garden, which boasts of exotic plants, flowers, fruit trees, a walking path, and plenty of outdoor seating areas. You can even cool off and relax in your own private pool beneath the shade of trees, and enjoy the floral scents of the blooming flowers.

Inside, turn on your favorite music, and enjoy the bright, open concept living area, and kitchen. Enjoy a cool drink and a Caribbean inspired meal on one of the handmade, driftwood stools, around the large center island. Kick up your feet, open the windows and enjoy the tropical breeze, or turn on the air conditioning to relax and enjoy your cozy home away from home.

Each bedroom has its own ultra quiet, split level air-conditioning, a large closet, and comfortable queen size bed with luxurious high thread count bedding. The Master Bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a large tiled shower. The guest bathroom is bright with natural light, decoration, and a large tiled shower. Each shower has a deluxe, spa type shower head, amazing water pressure, and on demand hot water.

Heart and Soul, has a fantastic location just minutes away from Governors Harbour where you can enjoy many restaurants, coffee shops, the Fish Fry (every Friday night), the catch of the day from local fishermen, and two grocery stores.

Explore the Glass Window Bridge, Ocean Hole, Lighthouse Beach, or take an Adventure Tour or fishing trip with one of Eleuthera s expert guides.

Water access is a quick walk or drive in either direction. At the bottom of the street, there is access to great snorkeling on the Caribbean side. The swimming area has a large cement pad on the coral and a swimming ladder to ease in and out of the perfect blue water. You will find reef teaming with tropical fish, sea stars, and beautiful coral right as you enter the water. Eleuthera has over 100 beaches.

Clean and Comfortable

This was our first time visiting Eleuthera. We were very satisfied with the house and it’s location. It is a quick drive to some wonderful beaches and a quick walk down to a neat place for snorkeling. Ken and his wife were quick and helpful with answering all of our questions. He even greeted us upon our arrival as his family lives right across the street. The pool was small but the kids enjoyed a refreshing dip after visiting the ocean. The house was clean and well equipped for our stay! Would recommend to anyone and would stay again.

Great stay at Heart and Soul!

Pros: Lovely property, very nicely decorated and well furnished. The grounds were beautiful, kids had fun exploring the fruit trees and various plants in the big beautiful backyard. Great to have space to explore. Cons: Quite disappointed in the pool as it was really no more than an oversized hot tub. The pictures made it seem like it would be much larger. Also, the location wasn't ideal for us as we would have preferred something closer to useable water and within walking distance to a town, restaurants, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and easy drives into GH and to local beaches! Thank you so much!
