🌴Lovely 1 BR Bayfront Apt - Walk to town & shops in Gov Harbour. GREAT Rates!🌴

Welcome to The Governor's Collection - Anchor Point Apartments; an affordable, condo-style development located in the vibrant heart of Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera. The complex is comprised of two buildings: One contains 2 one-bedroom apartments and two standard two-bedroom apartments, while the other contains 2 larger, two-bedroom apartment suites.

This beautiful one bedroom apartment located on an elevated first floor at Anchor Point has lovely views overlooking gorgeous Anchor Bay. It features a private bedroom with Queen sized bed, complete bathroom with walk-in shower, full kitchen, living room and a private, covered balcony.

The apartment is perfect for couples or singles that want their own space, with all the amenities of back home. There is a full washer and dryer in the unit, as well as pots/pans, coffee maker, full oven/stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, and so much more. A back-up generator switches on automatically to ensure your constant comfort.

Beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and soft sided cooler are all included for days lounging on nearby beaches. SMART TV and Wi-Fi are also included with the rental for those that want to catch up on their favorite programs/movies, or work while away!

Anchor Point Apartments are situated in a prime location for exploring Central Eleuthera. We are one block from the historic Haynes Library, and less than a 1/4 mile from Cupid's Cay, home of the Eleutheran Adventurers, and the site of the first Bahamian Parliament in 1746.

We are in walking distance to local supermarkets, banks (2 with ATMs), coffee shops, gift stores and more - But, if you want to really explore the island, it is best to rent a car. There are endless secluded beaches that travel the length of the island, just waiting to be explored!

For a fun day out on the ocean fishing, we would be more than happy to help you arrange hiring a boat for the day or organizing a charter, with your own captain. Paddle boards, kayaks, and jet skis are also available for rent, as well as snorkeling and diving gear. You can also take a day excursion to visit The Swimming Pigs of Spanish Wells – a relatively new, but very popular, day tour!

On Friday evenings, there's great Bahamian nightlife at the Anchor Bay fish fry, which is a short stroll from the apartments. Here you can sample locally prepared, down-home Bahamian food - including conch salad, deep fried fish, grilled chicken, macaroni and cheese, and peas n' rice. Mingle with friendly locals, winter residents who visit the island each year for several months at a time, or tourists seeking a fun evening out - there is a live DJ, local beers and cocktails on sale, limbo contests and dancing in the street until late!

We had a great visit. The place is very comfortable and Dom was so nice. He met us there and made sure we were aware of everything and comfortable! Loved our stay. Neighbors in other apartments were a little noisy but everyone is on vacation. Great place. We would come here again.

“Home away”
Second visit and did not disappoint. We really do feel at home at Anchor Point apartments, Everything you need is to be found there, and if not you are in walking distance to pick up light groceries. A car is really needed if you want to explore Eleuthera with its amazing beaches and it’s beautiful people. Joy and Dom always a phone call away should you need assistances, and we appreciate that. Do not hesitate to stay here.

Home at Anchor Point apartments
We were happy to call the apartment home for seven nights. Clean and spotless with high end fixtures and fittings. Bed comfortable with nice linen. Bath towels and towels for the beach good quality. Thought has been put into the decor of the apartment. Everything at hand to make your stay enjoyable. Apartment central in Governors harbour to walk to have coffee or an evening meal. Shopping easily accessible also, although a car would be needed to make the grocery shopping more pleasant of an experience. You will never tire of the view either - plenty to see and watch from the patio. Overall we would not hesitate to recommend the apartments. When we come back to Eleuthera we would want to call Anchor Point apartments home once again.

The best!!!!
We are without words. Dom & Joy are excellent hosts and exceptional property managers-attentive, personal, professional. Starting with quick responses to our questions prior to arriving, a personal welcome, and a comprehensive welcome binder with everything you can think of all the way to accommodating our departure time-is only the beginning. We want to tell everyone of this beautifully centrally located property but then we are torn to keep it a secret! The island offers so many things to do, great food, great beaches, great history and the best BBQ ribs across from Ronnies on Friday and Saturdays. A beautiful slow down to discover. See you very soon….

Great time at a great place!
Everything went smoothly in our Eleuthera rental. Communication was good and Dom the host met us at the house to answer any questions we had. It was nicely decorated and had everything you need to have a nice vacation. Plenty of parking, great view, walking distance to everything . We bought fish from a local guy and had whole snapper on the electric grill. It also had a w/d if you need it.

Amazing Apartment
At first when I was booking this property, I read all the past guest’s comments. I was surprised of what everyone wrote about Joy and Dom. Joy and Dom went beyond for us. When we went to Eleuthera the island was in a lock down for that weekend. Joy/Dom offered to go grocery shopping for us since EVERYTHING was closed that weekend. Thank God we ended up going to Harbor Island for the weekend (Joy and Dom suggested to do). The apartment is absolutely beautiful and everything was new. The apartment is decorated from Ikea (my favorite store). The apartment had beach chairs, towels and a cooler which we took with us everyday to the beach. The apartment has a white binder with info about the island (helped us tremendously). We also met Kathy (the owner of the apartment), she spotted us at beach with her cooler (LOL). Overall, Joy and Dom are amazing. Cant wait to go back 😊

Wonderful, relaxing vacation
My husband and I decided on Governors Harbor for our vacation due to its central location on the island along with a few restaurants and shops. First off, the rental is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is fully stocked for all of your kitchen needs. We enjoy cooking ( even on vacation!) and were pleased to find everything we needed to make some of our meals in. All the pots and pans, knives, cutting board, microplane, etc. There is a fish "market" right across the street that is really just a dock but were able to buy fresh caught snapper filets one night and make a delicious dinner in. The bed was very comfortable, as were the couches in the living room ( we may or may not have fallen asleep on them at the end of each day!) Upon our arrival, Dom met us at the property and showed us everything we needed. There was even a loaf of fresh coconut bread from a local bakery (which made excellent french toast the next day!) waiting for us along with souvenirs from a local shop. A few beers and welcome water, the hosts really went above and beyond to make our stay feel as comfortable as possible. The inclusion of the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and floats were more useful than we ever thought. It was so nice to load those up each morning in our rental car, and setup on the beach with more than just a towel. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joy and Dom. The rental guide they have in the unit is basically your key map during your stay which listed numerous restaurants, menus, beaches, directions, tips, etc. One day we got a little lost trying to find french leave beach and Dom was a quick phone call away to assist us. Alabaster bay was our absolute favorite, a recommendation by Dom and their rental guide, for the most pristine, calm, clear, Caribbean waters. We went to Tippys a few nights for great beach bar views and pizza! I will caution you that the island has a lot of bugs, its just a part of life there! There a sugar ants just about anywhere you go and we did have some in our unit who were clearly looking for the syrup, candy, etc! However, Dom came over right away and laid down something to take care of them which worked! Not a reflection on the cleanliness of the unit at all, just part of life on the island! Needless to say my husband and I are already planning our trip back and cant wait to rent from Joy and Dom again. They truly helped make our experience as relaxing and welcoming as possible!

Good central location
We had a great stay in Governors Harbour. Joy and Dom met us on arrival and gave us all the details and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend staying here if you want to be in town. It was clean and comfortable. We didn’t rent this place for the view it was for the location so we could adventure to both ends of the island.

Amazing condo with a beautiful view!
My fiance and I had a wonderful time staying at this condo! Prior to our arrival, Joy provided a list of recommended restaurants, activities, and local attractions to help us plan our trip, which was greatly appreciated. Joy and Dominic were great to communicate with and checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying ourselves. The condo was beautiful and appears, in person, just like the photos online. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the necessities so that we could cook meals when we wanted to. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom had plenty of closet space for us to unpack our suitcases. The best part about the condo was the view and the location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would highly recommend this rental!

Absolutely stunning
We stayed there for 4 nights and loved it! Joy and Dom were fantastic and so accommodating. We were looking for a wedding venue and they showed us various properties; we loved them all. We were there during the junkanoo festival, which was within walking distance. It was great to experience the culture of the Eleuthera only a short walk from where we stayed. The views of the Caribbean were gorgeous. We explored several of the beaches that Joy and Dom recommended and utilized their welcome binder to navigate other areas of the island to explore. We can't wait to return!

Great apartment in governors harbour
We had a really nice stay in the Anchor Point apartment. It is a very comfortable and cleanly decorated apartment equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay in Eleuthera - We utilized the beach chairs and umbrella and soft pack cooler on 2 of the many wonderful beaches that are nearby. This location affords easy access to 'town' and the beaches and Levy preserve (rec'd if you like nature and plants). There are many restaurants nearby so we only used the kitchen to warm leftovers and make tea. Joy and Dom were super hosts outlining things to do as well help with our internet (temp down do to power surge) but otherwise left us alone, which we like. Perfect little get away for us and we would stay there again.

Stellar
I frequent Eleuthera and this establishment is by far one of my top 3 favorites. It's close to everything in Governor's, barely a 2 minute walk to the famous Fish Fry as well as very spacious, clean and welcoming. The only issue I had with my stay and its management is I had to leave. Joy & Dom are part of the reason I am giving a 5 star rating, you won't find more accommodating, fantastic, knowledgable and down to Earth people on the island to put your trips hands in.
