New Beach House, Amazing Views, Pink Sand Beach, Walk to Bistro/Pool Bar
This charming new house, just completed in 2022, is on a private gated road and is a short walk from a spectacular mile-long pink sand beach. Flipper Refuge has breathtaking ocean views throughout, and you can hear the sounds of the waves from every room. Flipper Refuge is elevated with the windows looking out at the tree-tops, providing a lovely sense of being in a tree house. Come recharge your batteries and be in harmony with nature.
SPECIAL: FOR SUMMER AND FALL OF 2024 ONLY WE HAVE REDUCED THE RATE FROM $250 PER NIGHT TO $200 PER NIGHT!
Flipper Refuge has two bedrooms, both with queen beds. Both have ocean views. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, screened windows with noseeum screen, and an independent mini-split AC system. So you have many ways to enjoy the breezes and keep cool.
We have one full bath with a walk-in shower. There is also a wonderful outdoor shower with plenty of privacy. The living area features a 42-inch flat screen TV. The dining area has seating for 5.
The kitchenette is equipped with a full-size refrigerator, two-burner induction cooktop, microwave, toaster, Digital Air-Fryer Toaster Oven, coffee maker and all the necessary dishes. You can use the oven/stove in the owners main house if you need to do more serious cooking. Our water is drinkable, filtered and purified with a UV system.
Imagine yourself relaxing on an elevated terrace with breathtaking views of the ocean. This shared common space is perfect for enjoying the sunrises, having your coffee, your meal, or simply relaxing after a long day.
Amenities include AC throughout, high speed Starlink WIFI, dedicated desk workspace, smart TV (but no cable), charcoal grill, washer/dryer, back-up generator and a UV Water Filter, and private outdoor shower. Access available to the owners oven/stove and washer and dryer in the main house. All windows have no-see-um screens enabling you to sleep with windows open. Walk five minutes down our paved road and you are on a world-class pink sand beach with turquoise water, well protected by a barrier reef for great swimming, snorkeling, spear-fishing, and long walks year-round. There is typically no one else on this beach. And yet a 5-minute walk brings you to Sky Beach Club's excellent restaurant, bar, and pool bar. You are welcome to use their facilities if you buy a drink at the bar or lunch at the restaurant.
Governors Harbour, the main town, is just a five-minute drive. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. It has a nice little collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking a picturesque harbor. You can buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street. You won't want to miss it.
Your hosts, Flipper and Normand, live right next door if you need help with anything or advice about the island. Flipper will take you keelingling and spearfishing if you like. But if you prefer privacy, you will never see them.

Fabulous
Everything about Flipper and her place was Fabulous! Quiet and clean. We had the ocean and beach to ourselves. The 2 bedroom rental had everything we needed. Looking forward to our next stay.
Flipper is an amazing host. The property is lovely, clean, and modern. A short 8-10 minute scenic walk to a secluded beach.
I look forward to my next visit.

Wonderful weekend at Fllippers
We loved our time at Flippers house and she was an amazing host. We had a second house booked and we thought about cancelling and staying at Flippers house but we didn't as we wanted to experience the north side of Eleuthera. She is an incredible host and I can't wait to come back and go spear fishing with her. The beach which is minutes from the house is absolutely beautiful and on a crowded day, we saw four people there.

Nice, clean apartment, shared balcony
Well located on the center of the island, 8 min walk to a quiet beach. Super clean apartment, friendly owner. We appreciated the beach chairs we could take along with us. The only disappointment is that we thought from the listing the large balcony facing the ocean would be private and adjacent to our unit, but it is the owner's balcony which we could access. No direct ocean view from our apartment.

Best stay ever!
The Beach House at Flipper’s Refuge was perfect for us in every way! The place is immaculate, I’m not kidding when I say you could eat off the floor! Flipper is the ultimate host, she is friendly and kind and exudes an upbeat and joyful energy but she knows exactly when to show up and when to give you space. She lives next door and was there for us when we needed her and invisible when we did not. She knows everything and everyone on the island and made a call for us when we suddenly needed a taxi at the last minute. The decor is fun and cheerful and the beds were super comfortable with brand new mattresses and crisp air dried sheets. There was not one thing we needed during our 5 day stay that was not immediately available. The location is ideal with breathtakingly beautiful beach at the bottom of the street and the mid-island location in governor’s harbor is perfect for accessing all of that Eleuthera has to offer in all directions. We can’t wait to go back!!

Flipper's refuge is amazing, especially the host/owner
Every accomodations immaginable in the quaint cottage. Simple, clean, and very well maintained! Just a smidge off the beaten path and that's exactly what we wanted. Flipper had recommendations for just about everything since she's been on the island for decades. Could but give hugs when we left, wish we had more time there. We'll definitely be back soon. You'll want your own transportation for this location although, if all you need is a beech then you'll be fine. Beech is roughly 1/4 mile walk, very close and don't be deterred. Jeff & Katie

Amazing Property and Hosts
This property was amazing. It was clean and designed perfectly for a couple or small family not to mention it was decorated beautifully. The kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts, Flipper and Normand were so nice. Flipper was not there but we interacted with her on the phone. Normand was there and he was very nice, knowledgeable, easy and enjoyable to talk with and very helpful. We had a great fish dinner with Normand. The beach is amazing and quiet and just a short walk from the house. Catching a sunrise is a must. I can't say enough and can't wait to go back.
