2BR upstairs Apt w/ beautiful Bay view, short walk to town & shops

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. All units are built with covered, outside balconies that offer fantastic views of Anchor Bay.

This particular upstairs apartment features a small rooftop viewing gallery - ideal for taking in beautiful island sunsets, star-gazing in the evenings, or for admiring the waterfront bay view!

We 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.

Anchor Point is 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!

Centrally Located
This apartment is centrally located a short distance from the Governor Harbor Airport. Easy to find and within walking distance to anything you need. Having said that you do need a vehicle to explore all the beauty Eleuthera has to offer. The apartment was very clean, modern decor and well supplied. Dom gave us a great welcome and he was easy to reach throughout our stay.

Amazing place and amazing island!
Not intending to review Eleuthera itself, but just to say that this place is in the heart of real Eleuthera, and the neighborhood friendliness and warmth held up it's end! This apartment is absolutely perfect. Fully appointed with everything you would need, from beach chairs to bakeware. The view of the bay never got old. The cemetery is beautiful and unique, and actually this apartment has a clear open view between the two sections of it. The building area is well lit and equipped with security cameras, but we always felt 100% safe walking around the neighborhood and patronizing the local eateries and stores, and the Friday Fish Fry that is just down the street. We loved our week here and would definitely stay again. Scott & Vanessa

Great place for a winter getaway
Cannot fault anything, however, the Roosters call at 4am takes a bit of getting used to. Great location to visit both ends of the island, 1 mile walk to the terrific French Leave beach. Facilities in the apartment are second to none. Superb.

Lovely home
My friend and I (both female) had a great time here! The home was very comfortable and bright. The kitchen also had everything you could possibly want to cook with (i.e. lemon press, rolling pin, cheese knives). We were able to buy some lobster from local fishermen and cook it on the grill one night. Very tasty! A very short drive to French Leave beach which was both beautiful and very empty! If you're worried about driving on the left side on the island, don't be. It was dead easy. There aren't any complicated traffic patterns on the island and only one main road. Also, the island is much safer than what we experienced in Nassau (both of us had issues with harassment there) and we had no problems with walking around at night. The nature is breathtaking on the whole island and we even saw some dolphins from the house. I'd definitely recommend!

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
First trip to Eleuthera and it will for sure not be the last. Dom & Joy are fantastic hosts and Dom was there to greet us upon our arrival. He spent the time walking us through their area guide book that they’ve thoughtfully put together and answered any questions that we threw at him. Power on the island is quite unstable at times and the times we did lose power during our 7 night stay, the backup genny kicked on in under 30 seconds! As for the space, not only was it clean and comfortable, but also VERY well appointed with everything you could possibly need in a home away from home. My wife and I have traveled the globe and I cannot recall a better outfitted space. We are beach creatures and having chairs, umbrella and a cooler provided for us was an added bonus for sure! We spent most of our time on Receivers Beach (Alabaster bay) and French Leave. Just an overall wonderful experience that we look forward to again!!

Well equipped
I would rent this property again in a heartbeat. It's centrally located on the island and well maintained with ample parking. The house is really well stocked, including beach gear. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. The one surprise was the street music still blasting at 2 a.m. after the Friday fish fry. Dom & Joy are extremely responsive and helpful and every islander we met was so friendly.
