The town today is picturesque -- perfectly nestled in a natural harbour on the Caribbean coastline of the Island. Less than half a mile across the island is the Atlantic coastline, crested with long stretches of shallow coral reefs and world-famous powdery pink sand beaches. Nearby necessities: Within a five-minute walk of the apartments are supermarkets, clothing and gift shops, automobile and bicycle rentals, banks, a post office, a medical clinic, a dentist, churches, restaurants, nightclubs, bars, and liquor stores.

Reviews for this holiday apartment rental in Governor's Harbor, Bahamas

Rating
3 out of 5

Quiet Retreat

Bill and Janet Portland, Maine
Review Submitted: March 4, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
This is THE place to be if you're looking for:

1. peace & quiet (other than the very vocal roosters)
2. scenic surroundings
3. genuinely warm and lovely property owner
4. wonderful people
5. perfect weather in February

If you prefer pristine beaches, local snorkeling, on site pools, parties, and restaurants, and lots of planned activities, select a resort.

To meet other snow birds, don't miss the Haynes Library's Tuesday gatherings (a 5 minute walk along the ocean). To see other towns on the island, rent a car. There are good lunches at either restaurant on the hillside - follow the causeway in front of the library to get to the other side of the main street (another 5-10 minute walk). Jeanne, the property owner, is happy to help you find your way around and can give you the inside scoop on places to go for lunch or dinner (she has menus from several local restaurants). Tommy and "Big Daddy" were our exceptional cab drivers. Jeanne will even arrange for someone to get you to and from the airport. She's remarkable.
