Governor's Harbor holiday villa

We were at Touch of Class in early August 2009. The home was exactly as advertised and we had a very pleasant week. Although we enjoyed exploring Eleuthera, we were always happy to make the turn onto the little road leading to TOC and get into the water there at the house. Don't go to Eleuthera expecting everything close by and all the decisions already made for you; this is a destination that requires a hearty spirit and at least some taste for adventure, as things are quite spread out and signage and maps are both in short supply on the island. The location is great for exploring - in between Palmetto Point and Tarpum Bay - and the house makes a great launching point for daily adventures. That being said, you could have a perfectly wonderful week if you never chose to leave Little Bay and Touch of Class except to pick up supplies. The kitchen is great, the satellite TV and radio were nice, central air was awesome in the heat of summer, and the outdoor grill was a nice touch. There are plenty of Eleuthera notes in a binder and lots of guest comments and suggestions, but you'll still want to do thorough research before you arrive. The locals are all very friendly and helpful, though they are sometimes challenged when you ask for directions... after all, they know where everything is already. If you can find a good map before you go - or an Eleuthera guide book to bring along - that would be very helpful. A note on vehicle rentals: Adjust your expectations and do what you can to make sure you get a good set of wheels. Anything off the beaten path - and EVERYTHING is off the beaten path - warrants an SUV. The two we had (one broke down) were a decade old, well-worn, and a little scary. That seems to be the norm. Check to make sure the spare tire is good and all the jack parts are in the vehicle. This is a really fun place to vacation and Touch of Class is a great place to stay. The house is quality built and appointed - not like a cheap beach house, but more like someone's home away from home. Comfort and quality abound. While we wouldn't recommend Eleuthera to people who require a lot of entertainment or shopping, Touch of Class is a tremendous place for anyone looking to experience the Out Islands with most of the comforts of home. If you want to see stars like you've never seen them just steps away from the spectacular Caribbean waters - and have some self-reliance and a spirit of adventure - Touch of Class is a great place to stay.

We stayed at this property July 11-18, 2009. My husband keeps saying it was the BEST vacation we ever took! I could immediately feel the stress draining from my body as I sat on the huge deck overlooking the Caribbean! Everything was just as stated on the site.
We would go out and explore the island and come back and feel at home! Property is well maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a get-away. The island doesn't have much night life if that is what you are looking for (which we were not!). Captain Jack's and the Sunset Inn were great places for dinner. Lots of beaches to explore. Owners/manager very helpful. There are binders filled with linformation about the area at the property.
