Belmont House sits high atop Buccanneer Hill with spectacular
views of Governors Harbour, the sea, and the sunset. This grand
historic home dates from the mid-1800s. It has been meticulously
restored to retain its original elegance, while enjoying all modern
luxuries and conveniences. Belmont House was decorated by a
reknowned Italian designer. It features exquisite contemporary
furnishings, many custom made, hardwood floors and high
ceilings.
Belmont's façade is dominated by its grand two-story veranda
looking out across the harbor. The upstairs features two large
bedrooms, each with ocean views and direct access to the veranda,
and two large and luxurious full baths. One bedroom has a king bed,
and the other has two twins. Relax with a cocktail on the
comfortable teak furniture of the grand veranda and enjoy a
spectacular, 50-mile, 180-degree ocean and sunset view. You may
find it difficult to leave.
On the first floor, Belmont features a large living room and a
spacious formal dining room with seating for eight. The modern,
airy, peninsula kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel
appliances, including refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and
Bosch oven. The downstairs has a third full bath and a washer and
dryer. The large first-floor veranda is a delightful spot, with
garden and ocean views.
Amenities include flat-screen cable TV, air conditioning,
wireless internet, hi-fi stereo, complimentary toiletries, and
off-street parking.
Belmont House is part of the Squires Estate collection of
beautifully restored 19th century homes on the hill above Governors
Harbour. The décor and level of finish will delight the most
discriminating world traveler. Our manager will greet you upon
arrival and be available to assist you as needed. She can arrange
for daily housekeeping, a private chef, or a car rental (extra
charges apply), and provide advice about island activities. Other
staff at Squires Estate include a fulltime gardener and
housekeepers. Laundry and ironing services are provided on the
premises.
The Belmont House estate includes two beautiful one-bedroom
cottages that can be rented along with the house for additional
bedrooms. Belmont House and its cottages can also be combined with
other historic homes and cottages in the Squires Estate collection
for larger groups.
The town of Governors Harbour, a two-minute walk down the hill,
has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches
overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every
afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently
restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly
coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour
has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with
ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic.
Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors
Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the
tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is
not to be missed.
Walking down the hill in the other direction takes you to French
Leave Beach, the finest beach on the island and one of the great
beaches of the hemisphere. By foot, it's less than ten minutes to
French Leave, a mile-long crescent of pink sand that is usually
deserted. Most visitors to Eleuthera rent a car during their stay,
because the island is rural and spread out, and a car is the only
practical way to get around. By car, Belmont House is just a minute
from French Leave Beach.
FREE FLIGHTS: A stay of four nights or longer entitles you to 2
free round-trip tickets from Nassau to Eleuthera or flight credits
from the U.S. Some restrictions apply.
