Paradise in Eleuthera
The property, gardens, views were very beautiful. We could hear the ocean waves but would love to have a view from house. The path to the ocean and benches at the top of the stairs was a very beautiful view. The beach was clean and great for walking. Even with ocean waves, getting into the water was accessible. The outside areas were well furnished and delightful to use. Especially the deck off of the kitchen. We did not expect the house to be divided into two living levels. To access up; kitchen and 1 bedroom, and down; living room and 2 bedrooms, the stairway is outside. That was doable but it felt like 2 houses. If people downstairs wanted early breakfast, it was disturbing to upstairs sleepers. Upstairs people didn’t feel like they had a living room when downstairs went to bed. That said, we managed. The BBQ grill was a disappointment because it didn’t have grates. It was a flat grill like cooking on a pan in the house. Never seen anything like that. We like the center location on the Island. One person in our party had a leg injury before arriving. Care received at Eleuthera Wellness Clinic was excellent and so appreciated. It was only 10 minutes from the house. Unfortunately, the wound reached a point where one couple had to return to the US early. Luci and Barbara were very kind and understanding. They were immediately available to communicate with and very sympathetic to the situation. Mozzatos have a house on 10 Bay Beach on Caribbean side. Would love to see it!

November rental
The house was clean and comfortable. We had a couple power outages and the generator came on immediately. The house has a extensive DVD catalog of movies. The cable tv never worked, but we enjoyed watching movies, playing cards and reading. We didnt anticipate that some of the restaurants would be closed due to it being low season. The Shell station in town had a good selection of groceries. The house has a book detailing all the beaches and how to access them along with another book detailing and rating snorkeling spots which is handy while exploring. The "road" to the house is pretty rough but our rental Nisson Cube made it just fine.

BEAUTIFUL BEACH AREA AND CLOSE TO HOUSE
THE BEACH WAS BEAUTIFUL AND CLOSE TO THE HOUSE. THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE BEACH, BUT US. WE WENT DURING THE OFF-PEAK TIME SO A LOT OF RESTAURANTS AND STORES WAS CLOSED, BUT WE ENJOYED THE QUIET TIME TOGETHER. THERE WAS A HOMECOMING GOING ON AND WAS NEAT TO GO TO. THERE WAS RAIN FOR A FEW DAYS AND THE SEA WAS ROUGH. THE GLASS WINDOW BRIDGE WAS CLOSED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BECAUSE OF WAVES GOING OVER. I RECOMMEND GOING DURING THE PEAK TIME.

My own Beach
Although it was initially hard to find, it was more than I could hope for. The house consisted of two separate apartments. The upstairs consisted of 1 bedroom, kitchen, dining area and bathroom. Downstairs, where my son stayed there were 2 bedrooms, a living room with a small fridge and another bathroom. Also downstairs there was a separate laundry room. There was a porch on both levels in the front and a patio in the back on the upper level. There is also a sitting area on the side of the house. All around the house, there were plenty of chairs and lounges to relax. From the back porch it’s a 1 minute walk to the beach. It’s beautiful. In 4 days we saw 4 people on the beach. Great vacation, will definitely go back.

Absolutely gorgeous!
My husband and I both agreed, we had the best vacation yet at Garden of Light! We chose this place because we wanted to be on the beach but didn't want to break the bank to do it. The pictures showed it to be exactly what we were looking for but honestly they don't capture just how beautiful this location is. After arriving, one of the first things we did was head down the path to check out the beach and the view just took our breath away - absolutely stunning! We traveled to Lighthouse beach one day and North to Queen's Bath another day but we both decided the best place to be was right on "our" beach out front. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves, only seeing a few people here and there and usually only in the morning when they were enjoying a walk. We swam, walked the beach, enjoyed the shade of the cabana, and drank in the gorgeous view - so relaxing! The communication with the owner, Barbara, was great and she was very helpful in providing information about the house and the island that came in very handy. We referred to her info and suggestions multiple times. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were so nice and they obviously take great pride in their work - they do a wonderful job taking care of the house and grounds! We look forward to staying here again - it was just perfect!

Garden of Light on the Monticello Estate was a comfortable, ocean front, well equipped home south of Governor’s Harbor In Palmetto Point. The decks and porches were awesome and the motion lights lit up the stairs outside for coming and going. We would stay again for sure.

Family stay at Garden of Light
We loved our stay at the Garden of light Villa. We had two young kids with us and there was a lot of space for them to play when we weren’t at the beach. The beach in front of the property was very secluded and we loved going on beach walks in the evening. I would definitely recommend this villa to others!

Fantastic Experience!
We had an overall great experience with the 'Garden of Light' house within the Monticello ground. The communication with Barbara was excellent - always fast, informative and helpful - from the very first contact during the booking process until the end of our stay. While on location, the direct contact with the caretaker Winifred Williams was also always very helpful. The 'Garden of Light' house is not new, but well-maintained and in good technical shape, including fast wireless internet and life TV. The furniture and beds are comfortable and of good quality, the kitchen is well equipped and spacious. The grounds around the house are beautiful, well-kept with lots of palms, bougainvillea and flowers. The 150 feet walk to the beach was always a pleasure, often with sight of a flock of Anis (local cuckoos!). We specially liked the many outside seating options. Depending on activity and preference for shade or sun we could choose between several terraces, decks, and one pavillon at the house - and of course the 2 beach-decks, the upper one for the fantastic view and the lower one directly on the beach. Last but not least the beach itself: a fantastic soft pink sanded beauty, practically fully private as there are only 7 private access points to the entire 3/4 mile beach! During 8 days of stay we never saw more than 8 people spreading over the entire beach. Overall an fantastic experience - we felt very private, happy and always safe at Monticello!!

Incredible location
We stayed 9 days. Incredible location. The beach is just fabulous and very private. The property offers everything to enjoy the house or the beach. Tons of outside furniture to enjoy every part of the house and a lot of different items to take to the beach or on a get away. Very clean and well maintained! One thing to note: the main floor and second floor do not connect from inside the house, you need to use the outside stair/balcony. We were surprised at first, but it hasn't been a issue. Overall incredible stay, would go again and highly recommend.

Island beauty at its best!! A gem of a place!
We traveled to Eleuthera as a family of six to stay at the Garden of Light. We always tend to look for more quiet vacation rentals away from the crowds. The Garden of Light was an absolute perfect find for us! The house was great, it had everything we needed for our stay. Barbara was so helpful with giving us all the information we needed before our arrival and shared everything one might need to know about the island. Upon our arrival , Mr and Mrs Williams, the property managers, were there to greet us and answer any questions we had. If you needed anything during your stay, they were there for you. They even cooked us a fabulous dinner our last night there. They do catering on the side. The beach was absolutely beautiful and we really had it all to ourselves. There are very few houses along the beach. Tippys restaurant was about a mile and a half walk away, which was great. There are many beautiful beaches to visit and restaurants to go to. It is good to make reservations ahead of time because they fill up fast. The people are so friendly and it feels very safe on the island. We had an amazing time at the Garden of Light and highly recommend staying here. It’s so beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! We can’t wait to go back!!!

Eleuthera at its best
The property is good even for small family like mine. Definitely rent a jeep to reach here. It is very rough jungle road with many bumps and paddles near the house. The beach just in 100 yards from the house’s balcony. Very beautiful , very clean. Really no people around. Just watch those big rocks in the water: walk another 100 yards to the right for a spot without rocks. There was no trash bags in the house, no baking sheet, although baking recipes book. No coffee, tea, sugar. You can buy everything in a convenient store near by - just 5-10 mins drive. But we literally needed 1 trash bag for our stay. The Tipi’s restaurant near by (5 mins drive) is just the best: by the ocean, live music, great choice of drinks and food. You can reach it walking the beach, but we would not recommend if you are not rock climber. Definitely going come back since we got more experienced now. The Rock Sound airport is closer though.

Dear Artem, Thank you for your review. We asked the property manager. She confirmed that trash bags, sugar, and tea bags were at the house. Just a quick phone call or email would have helped solve the issue.

We have never been to Eleuthera before and we absolutely loved the island. The house was very clean, and had all the amenities that we needed for a wonderful stay. The beach in the backyard felt like it was our own and it was never crowded. The property manager Daniel was very helpful and showed us around the area. We highly recommend this house for anyone looking to visit Eleuthera.

Ocean front home with everything we could have possibly needed
From the moment we booked a stay at Garden of Light Barbara and Luci were very helpful in getting us organized and ready for our trip. The house was exactly as pictured in the listing. The kitchen was fully stocked with all sorts of cooking implements. There were endless beach towels and even snorkel gear and boogie boards. The beach in front of the house was stunning! Most days we were the only ones there. Overall, it was clear we made the right choice by booking a stay at Garden of Light.

If you are looking for a quiet beautiful beach away from it all, this is the place
Admittedly this was our first trip to the Bahamas. We first spent a couple nights in Nassau (at Atlantis) and were ready to get down to relaxing at a slower pace. Enter Eleuthera and Governer's Harbour. We were advised by ownership that we needed a car, which is accurate, things are kind of spread out on the island, so a car is the easiest way to explore no matter where you stay. The home was clean and well stocked with beach towels, chairs, etc. A short walk down a path leads you to an absolutely beautiful secluded pink sand beach. We enjoyed Tippys, and La Bougainvillea all that share the same stretch of beach. Property manager and our car rental guys were nice and accommodating. Ownership was extremely responsive and helpful. Really all around great experience. Already looking at rebooking for next year!

Peaceful and secluded piece of paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Eleuthera! Garden of Light Villa is situated on a beautiful piece of property. We had total privacy and had the beach to ourselves as far as the eye could see in either direction. It is also an easy drive to restaurants in the settlement. The caretaker was incredibly kind, attentive and helpful and the owners were great and easy to work with. If you are looking for a beautiful beach and private location, this is your place!

Monticello Garden of Lights is conveniently located near all services but feels incredibly remote. We felt like we had our own private beach most days. Barbara was incredibly responsive in planning for our first post-COVID trip out of the country and Daniel, the property manager went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed including a personal tour through town to buy groceries, ice, and identify our COVID testing spot. This place is a gem and we look forward to returning!

We loved our stay at Garden of Light. The property was perfect for us. My kids and I were able to have our own space downstairs and my father had his own space upstairs. Perfect after a long day exploring the island. Try as we might, we could not top the snorkeling at the beach in front of the house! The kids spent hours exploring the reefs and learning the names of the fish they saw. Having a virtually private beach was a luxury!

Great house, awesome private beach
The house was absolutely perfect, everything worked as promised. The beach is amazing and private, the house is secluded so you can enjoy the privacy but still a short drive to anything you might need in governers harbor! The property manager was super helpful when we arrived and helped us get in contact with everyone at the location. Just a tip for anyone looking for fresh fish, we didn't have much luck in governers harbor but tarpum bay which is only 20 minutes away was perfect for that!

Great place to vacation
This was our second trip to Eleuthera and we had a great time staying at the The Garden of Light. The garden and surrounding grounds are beautiful (humming birds and butterflies were frequent visitors). There is plenty of "outside" space (patio, decks) to relax. There is a very short walk to the beach through a palm tree lined path where there is a very good beach. At night we watched the stars from the 2nd story deck. The central location of the house is ideal for exploring other parts of Eluethera. The dirt road to the house can be a bit daunting to a first time traveler to Eleuthera, but it's just the way things roll in Eleuthera. I highly recommend the Garden of Light.

Beautiful and secluded
We spent 6 nights at Garden of Light end of April through early May. We flew into North Eleuthera airport and were picked up by the property's caretaker Mr. Gardiner and his son. We rented an SUV through Mr. Gardiner as well which was very easy. The property is secluded on the Atlantic side; there are two houses on the property although there are enough palm trees, foliage, and distance to where there house is very private. The beach was beautiful and the house was well equipped with beach chairs, snorkel gear, grill and all the kitchen amenities needed to cook well at home. There was AC in the house which worked well although it was rarely needed as it was easy to get a breeze through the house. Wifi was very reliable in the house. We were able to pick up fresh fish in Governor's Harbor (sold next to the water across the street from Eleuthera Supply) to grill at home (catch is variable, had grouper and crab available). Groceries at Burrows, veggies/fresh bread/cinnamon rolls at Island Farm Eleuthera (just south of South Palmetto Point). Island Farm also sells a nice map of the island (4 separate maps for different areas) which was nice to have. It was quite windy on the Atlantic side for most of our trip (which meant essentially no noseeums). Wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Best vacation ever!
This was the best vacation ever! The house itself was perfect for our needs--we have three in our family, but the house could sleep 6. We found the kitchen to be well-stocked, the gas grill very handy (along with the fish baskets to grill the catch of the day), and the beach to be amazing. The island is a slice of paradise. We went exploring and found new beaches almost every day. When we didn't want to go anywhere, we had the beach behind the house to enjoy the day--a perfect tiki hut to provide shade, plenty of rocks and things to explore when snorkeling, and soft pink sand to luxuriate in. Another bonus--very few people on any beach, so you feel like the beach is yours!!! The two weeks we were there did not give us enough time to do all the things we wanted to do, so we will be forced to come back!!! We cooked in and we ate out. Groceries were found at Burrow's and Eleuthera Supply (both in the Harbour), another great grocery store called Midway (Queen's Hwy near Savannah Sound), and a huge grocery store (the real deal) in Rock Sound. Buy your fresh produce at the Island Farms, along with fresh bread and cinnamon buns. Bristol's Liquor Store in GH for good wine and spirits. We enjoyed Buccaneer Club, Tippy's, and Bacchus Fine Foods for eating out. You really can't go wrong. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Andre, the caretaker, was also very helpful by meeting us coming in from the airport, replacing the gas tank for the grill, and even buying fresh fish for me one day when I couldn't. He called several times just to check in and make sure everything was going smoothly. All in all, the perfect vacation! Thank you, Barbara and Luciano!

This house is perfect in every way!
We stayed at this property over New Years. We have stayed at many vrbo properties throughout the world, and I can honestly say it is the best we have found. We stayed at Desert Rose facing the Atlantic and the beach was perfect. We explored many beaches in Eleuthera and our backyard view was our favorite. The home was ideal for our family of five and we were lucky enough to meet the property owners who were first class in every way. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay perfect. We can’t say enough good things about the privacy and beauty of this property. We will refer all our friends and family! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

First Time to Eleuthera
This was our first trip to Eleuthera. We found the island to be very beautiful with lush greenery and beautiful ocean views! We also found the islanders to be very friendly and helpful. Marcia, the property manager was there to greet us on arrival and was very friendly, helpful and able to answer any questions we had. We stayed in the Monticello house for 11 days and our friends stayed at Dessert Rose for 8. The house is in a great location on the island, close enough to grocery stores and dining at Tippy’s or the Buccaneer. The well groomed gardens on the property were really enjoyable and relaxing. The beach was very clean with beautiful white sand and it was private. We especially loved the two cabanas right on the beach for us to spend our days. The house had all the amenities that we needed to cook in as well as plenty of place to relax and eat outdoors. If you are looking for luxurious accommodations, this is not it; however, we found it to be clean, comfortable and an enjoyable stay!
