Welcome to On the Rocks, a secluded beachfront estate with pool located directly on Unicorn Cay Beach, a mile-long stretch of pink sand. On the Rocks is located on the Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the premier location on the island, a four minute drive from town and a 15 minute walk down the beach to famous Tippy's beachfront restaurant and bar.
In addition to its mile-long beach, On the Rocks also features a unique sheltered beach area, where the water is often as calm as a lake, protected by a natural jetty of rock. Called the Venus Pool, this sheltered swimming and beach area is perfect for small children, or anyone who enjoys calm water.
The pool is heated with a solar pool heater. Note that solar pool heaters are less effective during overcast periods, so a solar heater cannot guarantee a warm pool.
Inside the estate home, the large great room with vaulted ceiling enjoys sweeping ocean views, as does the den /TV room, two of the bedroom suites, and the studio apartment.
There are 4 bedrooms in the main house, each with en-suite bathrooms and positioned so each room enjoys complete privacy. The 2 large ocean facing bedrooms have king size beds, or one can be made into 2 singles. The other bedrooms are one queen and 2 singles.
In addition, there is a den/TV room with two day beds suitable for children only. With the day beds, the main house can sleep up to 10 guests, 8 adults and 2 children. (THIS ROOM HAS AN OVERHEAD FAN BUT NO AC.)
On the Rocks also has a detached studio apartment with a queen bed, a full bath, and a kitchenette that can be added to the rental for $1000 per week. With the studio included, On the Rocks has 5 bedrooms and can sleep up to 12 guests.
On the Rocks has a/c and ceiling fans throughout except in the TV Room, which has an overhead fan. Amenities include back-up generator, two kayaks, super-fast Starlink internet, AP TV incl.Netflix TV, washer/dryer, along with a good library of books, backgammon and other games also in the house.
The town of Governor's Harbour, 3 miles from On the Rocks, has all necessary shops, banks, travel agent, grocery stores, gift shops and restaurants. It is picturesque and unspoiled. There are no large hotels or casinos on Eleuthera. It is a beautifully quiet and peaceful island. There are many beaches to explore!
A separate one-bedroom cottage called Pebbles is close to On the Rocks and can be rented along with it for larger groups.
Rates are on a sliding scale based on the number of guests. We set the rates this way to make the property more affordable for smaller groups who use less utilities and put less wear and tear on the house. If you enter the correct number of guests, the reservation system will calculate the rates correctly.
