Sea Shanty - Ocean view, Private pool, Walk to Beach, Prime Central Location.

Characterful 2 bedroom beach cottage, a 5 minutes walk down a pathway to the beach, with its own small swimming pool.

Sea Shanty is located on exclusive Bank's road. The pink sand beach is a 5 minute walk away, and Tippy's restaurant is a 2 minute drive or 15 walk down the beach.

Sea Shanty, which sits in 1/4 acre of private grounds, has a roof top deck, overlooking the trees, with a view to the ocean beyond. There is a new 15 foot, private swimming pool for your use. The cozy master bedroom, which has King size bed, is directly off the deck on the second floor of the house. Downstairs is open plan, with the a small, but fully functioning kitchen, a dining area suitable for 4, and a lounge which has a TV and a couch. Off the living room, there is a small 2nd bedroom with a queen bed, and a single loft bed above. This second bedroom would suit children, but also works for a couple. The property is quiet and peaceful, with only few high end houses in the neighborhood.

There is high speed wireless internet throughout the property.

The property is centrally located, being 10 minutes from Governors Harbour on the beautiful Bank's road, the most sought after area in Eleuthera. There are mile and miles of reef protected beaches, both north and south, in front of the house for you to explore. There is great snorkeling and spear fishing off the beach directly in front.

There are grocery stores 10 minutes away and 3-4 of the best restaurants on the island are within a 10 minute drive.

The property would suit anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful location, in the heart of the island.

Cute little cabin snuggled in paradise.
Sea shanty was adorable. The pool was awesome. The owner came the first day to make sure everything was good and gave advice on what to do and where to go on the island. The beach is a very short walk, just across the street. Short walk to Tippy’s for great food and cold beer.

Lovely Sea Shanty!
We enjoyed our 10-day stay. The sweet house was everything we expected—Clean, well designed and organized, and close to Governor’s Harbor as well as points north and south. The weather was hotter than we expected, but AC worked well. I especially enjoyed daily “workouts in the small and very clean pool. Jethro, who lives nearby, was particularly helpful with suggestions for restaurants and activities. Highly recommend.

Sea Shanty is a gem!
Jerome’s place is a gem! This was our second stay here, and we were so happy to be back. The location is great. Sea Shanty is close to amenities yet has a very private feel. The beach access is less than a 5 minute walk down a palm tree lined path that is just across the street. Tippy’s is a short (10-15min) walk down the beach. This year we made a visit to the Leon Levy Preserve – which is a short drive from the house, and well worth a stop. The house itself is very comfortable and tidy. While we rarely felt the need for the a/c, it was nice to have on the few occasions when we wanted to take the humidity out. The upper deck is a great spot for coffee/tea in the morning. The backyard is like a mini sanctuary. The plunge pool was amazing. Just perfect for a quick dip after a day out exploring the island. Jerome was available for questions, but never intrusive. He is also terrific at making suggestions for restaurants, as well as beaches/activities to do. We had another fantastic stay and hope to be back next year!

Perfect for adventure!
I searched for months for the perfect rental on this island. I landed on sea shanty because of its proximity to the beach, and central location on the island. Perfect location to explore each end of the island with ease. The sea shanty is not insulated, but has plenty of AC split units/wall units to keep it cool. We cooked the majority of our stay and had everything we needed provided! Beach chairs, cooler bags, umbrella, and snorkel gear was also at the house. A few games were provided as well. The owner was amazing. Above and beyond! Would definitely stay here again, or use his larger property that’s right beside this one if we brought more family along! You can’t go wrong with this listing!

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Shanty. The location was perfect, the house was charming, and we really enjoyed the privacy. The pool area was very private and quiet and the deck area around the pool was great for hanging out. Upstairs off the master bedroom was a wonderful large deck with an ocean view, which we did quite a bit of hanging out up there, too. Jethro was a wonderful host, met all our needs, and very responsive. I highly recommend staying at Sea shanty, I know we will be back for a repeat. J and D

Perfect Escape
Sea Shanty is a wonderful escape from reality. Situated a mere 5 min walk from some of the best beaches I’ve ever experienced. We walked miles each day and only saw a handful of people. The rental has everything you need and Jethro was very welcoming. My highlights would be: Sunrise yoga on the lower terrace Having my morning cup of tea on the upper terrace Using the jungle cut-through to go walking on the beach Afternoon pina coladas by the pool (the rental has a blender) Afternoon napping on the hammock We most definitely will be back!

Adventure
Overall the property was exactly what the listing states. My wife, daughter (4), and I stayed here for 8 nights in July 2023. The Sea Shanty is an uninsulated cute Bahamian home. It is set in a thick jungle in front of one of the prettiest beaches we've had the chance to visit anywhere (we have been to 3 other Caribbean islands). There is a foot path directly from the house to the beach. This path is an adventure in itself. There is also a sandy side road 100 yards south of the home that allows you to drive to the beach. We walked the path many times and only drove once because the beach is so close. We recommend walking the sandy road to the beach. The main house AC runs great and we had it set to 76 and the whole house stayed comfortable. Each of the bedrooms has a window unit to supplement. The kitchen is small, but very useful. We cooked most of our meals at the shanty as it can be costly eating out (avg meal for the 3 of us $110 without drinks). The fridge/freezer work great and kept our food cold even during the power outages. The pool was very warm and a great way to end each day. Jethro is an awesome host! He was very quick to respond every time we had a question. One time we had a flat tire and couldn't get a hold of our car rental rep. and so we contacted Jethro and he was able to contact them through whatsapp and got us a mechanic on the way to fix our flat. tips: get an international calling plan with data, bring flashlight and battery powered fan.

Nothing short of perfection
This cottage is full and character and charm. The location could not be more convenient to get you close enough to activity but remote enough for privacy and beauty. The backyard is an oasis surrounded by lush greenery. Pool and hammock were so nice and relaxing. Beach close to home is breathtaking and so unoccupied!! Jethro is the kindest host that was full of helpful and interesting information about island. This property is perfection. You will not want to leave. As another review stated, make sure you’re able to do about 15 steep steps up to master bedroom. And if unable, you might also be content sleeping in the double bed downstairs. Thank you Jethro for sharing this amazing property with us. Until next time.
