About this property

Newly Renovated Beachfront Estate w/ Pool, Privacy

Stepping inside Tourmaline is escaping the world and entering your very own secluded paradise. As you enter the Great Room you will be awe-struck by the spectacular view that greets you through the three massive glass doors and the floor-to-ceiling native stone walls.

Your open-plan main living area links effortlessly with the expansive terrace over-looking the ocean below. Stop to enjoy the view from one of the many comfortable chairs and sofas or continue on into the large dining area with another huge patio door leading to the terrace and outdoor dining area. This bright room boasts huge windows on all sides offering more views of the ocean. The large pine dining table seats six.

The large gourmet kitchen boasts quartz counter tops with several great work areas, double stainless steel sinks, new appliances, water cooler and inside and under-cabinet lighting. The kitchen's large windows overlook the gardens.

Just off the great room you will discover the main floor master bedroom with king-size bed, walk-in closet and sitting area, AC, ceiling fan, TV, night tables with 3-way reading lamps and private ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. Just outside the ensuite you will find your private side patio, laundry room and outdoor shower. Another massive glass door leads to your expansive terrace.

Also on the main floor is the nautical 3rd bedroom designed with kids in mind, but suitable for adults too. This room boasts a bunk bed (twin over queen), AC, small dresser, games and puzzles, reading lights, more ocean-view windows, and a door leading to the terrace.

Upstairs you will discover a 2nd Master Bedroom with spectacular ocean views from 3 large windows, king-size Bermuda bed, AC, ceiling fan, night stands with 3-way reading lamps and sitting area, along with a large bathroom with walk-in closet, glass shower and double sink vanity.

Begin your day gazing out over the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean from your expansive terrace high atop your private sand dune. Or, meander down to your deserted beach and let your toes sink into the soft pink sand. Note that Tourmaline is set on a dune above the beach. There are stairs and a path down to the beach.

Wander the shoreline stretching for miles in both directions. Don't be surprised if yours are the only footprints you see. Dip into the crystalline clear water and allow the soothing seawater wash away the worries of the world.

After breakfast don your snorkel and mask and explore the many coral reefs just off the beach. Then float in your expansive 16'x32' infinity pool, nap under the palms in your seaside hammock or pack a picnic and head off to explore the countless spectacular beaches that line both sides of your island.

On your way home pick up the fresh catch of the day from the local fishermen, and freshly picked organic veggies from the local farmer. Sip cocktails while your catch sizzles on your gas grill. Or, book a seaside table at one of the fabulous nearby restaurants, only minutes from your door. Dance the night away swaying to the rhythm of island music.

Amenities include: air conditioning throughout; WiFi; TV(3) with Netflix and Storm Entertainment System; ceiling fans; baby grand Steinway piano; outdoor showers(3); back-up gas generator (no power failures to worry about!), 20/20 screens (to keep out even the tiniest no-see-ums); gas grill; pool floats; hammock; beach chairs and cooler. We also have a pack and play crib should you need one.

Magical First Trip to Eleuthera
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our two week visit to Tourmaline exceeded expectations. The house is lovely, and perfect for our first week with our son, daughter in law, and grandchildren aged 5 and 3. And not too big for just the two of us during our second week. We loved it so much we tried to add a third week, either at Tourmaline or next door at Dream House, to no avail. So we booked next year for three weeks. Walking on the beach is gorgeous. When the wind calmed down, we enjoyed snorkeling off the beach in front of the house. Easy walk east to La Bouganvillia for drinks and lunch. We took several day trips to explore the area. Tippy’s is great for lunch & dinner. The real find is Eleuthra Island Store, great produce and baked goods on Tuesdays and Fridays. Cinnamon rolls are amazing! Can’t waitTo go back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I can’t begin to describe how much we loved Tourmaline! My sister and our two adult daughters soaked in the sun, the ocean waters and the clean and beautifully maintained pool and grounds. We found the location perfect for our island exploring and the “locals” most accommodating and friendly. Tippys was a favorite as well as the island Farm grocery, both an easy drive from Tourmaline.Thank you for making our vacation magical

Not worth the $
We stayed at the house next door a couple years ago and decided to try this one because it was being renovated and had a bigger pool. The pool was really the best part of the property. The house itself needs help. Bugs indoors everywhere. Alive on the ceiling, dead in the floor. Crawling on you at night. And no, we did not leave doors and windows open. Good luck in the kitchen. Very basic items but the rest is a mix and match hodge podge. It needs going through badly. It’s mostly junk. Dishwasher doesn’t clean the dishes. Top rack does not come out. Kitchen chairs are worn out and rickety. Same with bedside tables. Washing machine is outside and smells - front load that never has been aired out. Living room furniture is very old and it shows. For the money you get a nice pool that is a quick 30 second walk from the house and decent views but not as good as the house next door. Glass vs concrete on the deck and better trimming of landscape. Property managers were great as always. Pam and Tenille are always there for you. For the price point however, this house seriously misses the mark.

Gorgeous property!
The house and its location is top notch all around. The beach is gorgeous and we had it all to ourselves most of the time. The house is close to Governor’s Harbor and the center of the island which makes it easy to do excursions at the North end or the South end of the island. We enjoyed every second of our vacation here. Highly recommend this house!

Another Memorable Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just returned from a week-long stay at Tourmaline, nestled just between North Palmetto Point and Governor's Harbour. The ocean/beach views from the house are breathtaking, the pool an excellent addition, and the location convenient for exploring the whole of Eleuthera. As return guests to the island we were accustomed to low water pressure and routine power outages (the house has a nice Generac standby generator), but would recommend the owners have the overall plumbing of the house serviced for water flow/flushing pressure and shower drain buildups/odors. This was only a minor issue and one that can be expected in Eleuthera. That said, it would not prevent me from recommending this property to future guests. Eleuthera is a destination that makes you work a little bit and accept that you probably will not have the exact same amenities that you would in the US. But it is a place defined by its natural beauty and vibrant culture, which is why I keep returning with my family. Book with confidence that Tourmaline will meet all your true needs for an excellent stay in Eleuthera.

Pure Relaxation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed recently for our second visit to this property. Pam at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals was extremely helpful during the booking process. They provided very helpful information prior to arrival to keep guests informed. Tennielle, the local property manager, is so very helpful! Can’t stress enough how valuable it is to have someone close by if you have questions or need any assistance. She dropped off delicious lasagna on arrival which is so nice to have on night one. The house is clean, updated, and comfortable. Everything you need is there. Towels (bath & beach), beach chairs, cooler and starter kitchen/bath supplies. The kitchen is well stocked. The covered porch with ocean view is nice for meal times or just enjoying the view. Having onsite laundry comes in handy. The location is convenient to Governor’s Harbour and grocery stores and restaurants. The beach is so quiet and private, many days we were the only ones there. The walk down to the beach from the house is quite steep so if you have mobility issues, please keep that in mind. We would highly recommend this house and will be back ourselves!

Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the glasses (no wine glasses) and frying pans. The property manager was very quick to respond when there was a water problem and actually upgraded the system.

Great stay at Toutmaline!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two couples, who’ve visited Eleuthera multiple times, found Tourmaline, with its master suites on each floor, the perfect set up for our needs. House was clean and well appointed and when, the most difficult decision you make each day is beach or pool, life is good. First time booking through Eleuthera Vacation Rentals and couldn’t have been more pleased with the responsiveness and service both before and during trip. Pam was great before and Tennielle quickly addressed and resolved any issues that arose during our stay. The homemade lasagna from the owners upon arrival was greatly appreciated. Recommendations: Cocojo for pre batched cocktails and mocktails; Ralvin at Awesome Adventure Tours for dune buggy access to Lighthouse Point; Frigate’s new location in Governor’s Harbour!

Great Vacation House
House is very nice - also quite remote feeling but not far from restaurants and Governor’s Harbor. The beach is beautiful! Tenielle was a wonderful host! The only thing that could use repair is the long driveway. However, it is like many driveways on Eleuthera so I think you just have to expect it (but don’t be surprised as it’s quite a bumpy road).

Tourmaline - beautiful getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for 2 weeks at the beginning of December 2023. This is a very clean and exceptionally private property. You can leave the windows open at night and listen to the waves crashing against the shore. The grounds keeper and pool cleaners came a couple of times a week - they honk the car horn before walking around to do their tasks. The weather was a bit inclement (rain and high winds) making the beach unusable, but when the weather was good - the sand is powdery soft with pink visible in the grains. There are reefs "bommies" offshore which are about 8-15ft in depth. Lots of fish including barracuda and stingrays (and some very elusive lobster). The internet worked intermittently, moving the router (it uses LTE from a cell provider) to the upstairs master bedroom improved reception. On the days with bad weather, the WIFI was unstable - and the power went out multiple times (but only for a couple of minutes max). As a backup - use your cell phone for internet, which worked flawlessly. Bring along a couple of headlamps (and maybe a string of LED lights) for the pool area. It is dark there at night, and the bar-b-que is there. There are no overhead lights at the pool (other than the lights in the pool and some limited landscape lights). Beware of the bugs. No-see-ums were horrible, not just at the property but all over the island. We used repellent yet still wound up with hundreds of itchy welts. Take Benadryl tablets and spray, and repellent with at least 40% deet. The wind will keep them down a bit, but anywhere there is shelter the bugs will get you. Also be aware that Governor's Harbour airport security (when leaving) will confiscate all your unused aerosol cans. We lost 6 new cans of Coppertone, plus deodorant and insect repellent. I suspected this was a scam - we went through security in Nassau and there was no problem. If your aerosol cans have the "explosive" or "flammable" WHIMIS labels (they all do), don't expect to leave Eleuthera with them.

Second Honeymoon
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Tourmaline for our second honeymoon. The house was in great condition. Everything was very clean and the house itself was equipped with everything we needed. After a long travel time with delays and cancelations we finally made it to the house and Tennille the housekeeper left a home cooked meal for us to eat. That was HIGHLY appreciated! Thank you Tennille! The pool was very nice and clean. The walk to the beach is easy down but it little harder to get back ( you have to hike the hill back up) but we knew that before. A family could stay easily at the house. Overall we would recommend the house to friends. We had a lovely stay

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience renting Tourmaline through Eleuthera Vacation Rentals was excellent. Pam was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. She is very responsive. The house was perfect for us. Everything you need is there, beach towels, beach chairs, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, and more. This is such a help when traveling. There are plenty of pots & pans, dishes, glasses, coffee maker. There is a washer & dryer, again a nice addition. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Tenielle, who is in the area, is a phone call away. She sent us a text to just check in to be sure we didn’t need anything. The lasagna on arrival day is a welcome touch after traveling all day. The views from the house are spectacular. There is a covered patio in case you want to get out of the sun. We loved to sit there in the morning for coffee. The pool is just across the yard with plenty of deck space. The path to the beach can be a little steep but very manageable. Anyone with mobility issues might want to keep this in mind.We would definitely return again.
