Great Family Vacation

The property was as advertised. A short walk to a fantastic beach. The house was well stocked and there was plenty of room for our family of four. The extra space in the pool house was great for our older teenager! I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking to take a family vacation!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was as described and perfect for our group. Check-in was easy and the property was clean. It's very private, the beach just down the road was pristine and where we spent the majority of our time.

Great lovation

We spent 3 weeks at the property and our stay was very good. We were able to visit 14 other beaches so this is a good spot to adventure from. Very private location and we were able to get to restaurants and grocery stores easily. I recommend this place.

Miss Rubys

It was an Amazing vacation and a great property. Miss Ruby's was a great house , with wrap around deck , pool house and pool . An amazing 5 min walk to the pink sand beach we walked on every morning. Governors Harbor was a wonderful place to stay. The locals were so friendly and gave great advice on what to see and do. We all want to come back already!

The house and property were lovely. The kitchen was well stocked. We were pleasantly surprised to see there were beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas supplied. The walk to the beautiful, quiet beach was easy and took only 5 minutes. The beach had a shaded area and full sun area. Just beautiful for snorkeling and swimming.

Amazing 50th birthday week

Miss Ruby was amazing! We came here for a week long stay for my 50th birthday celebration. The house is very comfortable and worked wonderful for our configuration of guests. The beach is simply breathtaking. The walk is as described. I would recommend some more furniture on the porch, perhaps some ceiling fans out by the pool. AC unit in family room was finicky, but overall worked. Power outages occur almost daily, I can’t imagine the effects on electronics. The couch out by the pool was a favorite, if you can add another, that would be even better.

Great house

The house is clean and spacious. We had a family of five, plus another couple and there was more than enough space for the seven of us. We prepared most meals at the house and the kitchen was well-equipped. The pool is clean and we spent most of our time there. The soft white beach is a short walk or drive and the water is beautiful. This place is all about taking in the beauty and relaxing. The only adventure we took was a six hour boat ride to see the pigs, turtles and stingrays- which was great. The noseeums or some type of bug feasted on a couple of us in the group and didn’t bother the others. We will go back! Communication was good and when a couple small issues came up, they were quickly addressed.

Lovely spot

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: Overall we were very pleased with our visit to Miss Ruby. This was our second time staying in Givernora Harbor on Banks Road. The house lived up to its billing, and was more than comfortable for our family of four plus my father who joined us last minute for a couple of nights. The pool is super convenient and fun for the children. The upstairs rooms with en suite baths are large and accommodating. The downstairs bedroom does not have the same privacy as the upstairs rooms and guest cottage but is comfortable enough. Walk to the beach is quite easy, and the location is very private. The internet connection leaves something to be desired, but they were in the process of upgrading it while we were there.

Seculded oasis

The house was very nice and clean. We had a rough time due to a fire on the island right beside us. That was definitely not the home owner's fault in any way. We did want to move to another house farther down on the beach but were told there was nothing available but only in town which we did not want to stay in town as we came for the beach. The walk to the beach is not bad, but is around 7-8 minutes depending on how fast you walk. The house is stocked with beginning toilet paper and even laundry detergent, but we were informed after we were trying to use the stove that it was broke and to just go next door to the studio to use the oven. Definitely not idea as its very tiny. The fridge does not make ice just fyi you have to go buy ice but it will dispense it. The kitchen is fairly well stocked but nothing like a home owner would stock. I said a couple times, if they stayed here, they would realize the small items needed in the kitchen. The bed was decently comfortable in the master bedroom, but the couch is well overdue for extra fluffiness. But truthfully the privacy is amazing at the house. The house feels like a victorian house especially on the outside. So overall I would recommend this house. I won't be looking to stay at it again as it was very frustrating to not even be able to enjoy outside with the awful smoke for several days. We ended up having to leave the house the minute we got up to not have our eyes absolutely killing us for several days.

3 weeks stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We choose this home due to its location and the size of our party which was 3 kids and 3 adults. Unfortunately the weather wasnt great and we spent evenings on top of eachother being there was only one tv in the living room and Wi-Fi didn’t work.. The pool was great for the kids being the weather wasn’t the greatest while we were there. We have been to the island 7 times so I have a few homes to compare it to for the value. We have 3 kids that had 10 days of school while we were on the island. The Wi-Fi didn’t not work at all so we had to go to the library in Governor’s Harbor for those ten days which wasn’t the end of the world but kind of a pain. We also run our own construction business in the states and access to internet is critical. We could only get service on our phones on banks road so my husband spent many hours out there working. When we checked in Misty did let us know that Wi-Fi was in and out. Had we known it wasn’t in working order we likely wouldn’t have rented as it was high on our needs list. A handful of days we were without power which made it hard for my husband and father to sleep being that they have sleep apnea machines. Again, not our property managers fault but we just had to roll with it. Other than that it was fine. I’d recommend this home to people who want to get away from their crowded city and be off the grid. The beach was great. Saw 4 sting rays hanging out. We did a lot of beach combing and looking at the homes on the beach.

Miss Ruby never disappoints...

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: Reviewing a house I have booked 3X seems counter-productive, but here goes. My group of 8-9 over the past 3 years goes back to Miss Ruby for these reasons.• Great location. 5 to 15 minutes from everything we enjoy. • The pool. Perfect layout for relaxing and gathering of the family. • The private beach 5 min walk away. (need I say more) • The layout. The guest cottage is a perfect match with the big house. Everyone has their space but room to mingle. • The house is clean, spacious and the A/C’s work great. • Miss Ruby is not brand new. Kind of like a country farmhouse. (we like that)• Misty was always reachable and responsive to our questions and any slight concerns. • Booking with Pam @Eleuthera Vacation Rentals is something I actually look forward to. We talk year-round. She is now a friend. You cannot go wrong by booking Miss Ruby. Just don’t take my week in 2024!!

Perfect romantic getaway

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful vacation home. It was incredibly private, with a serene pool and an outdoor shower that made every day feel like a tropical dream. The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable, carefree getaway. With three bedrooms, and a fully equipped guest cottage, it would be the perfect size for family or group of friends. We loved how close it was to local restaurants and stunning beaches—it couldn’t have been better located. Visiting during this time of year was ideal, and the romantic setting made it truly special. Misty made everything perfect! We can’t wait to come back!

Clean, Simple and Convenient - Great Beach!

This is a sweet little hideaway on a great island. Every beach is gorgeous, but this one, at one end of French leave beach is nothing less than spectacular. This Atlantic beach has clear water and lots of coral. In addition, there is perfect natural pool where young children can play with very little surf. One of the best part of this house is the property manager, Misty. She is responsive, well informed, and capable -- that's a big plus!

Little slice of heaven

Miss Ruby did not disappoint. It is only a short easy walk from Miss Ruby to the most amazing beach in the world! Misty was there to meet us when we arrived and provided great recommendations. The house was just what we expected…private, clean, and well-equipped. The accommodations worked well for our family to spread out. The pool was refreshing and the beach cannot be beat! It is beautiful and we had it to ourselves almost every day. The water was perfect for a toddler to wade in or adults to swim out and enjoy deeper, clear Caribbean blue water. Be prepared for a few power flickers and spotty internet…all fine with us as we were there to unplug. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Miss Ruby

We stayed for 8 days at Miss Ruby. The property was beautiful! The wraparound deck was spectacular, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the guest house cozy and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and the ac worked super well. The Wi-Fi wasn’t working during our stay, and the internet in that area of the island isn’t great. Also, the little beach is unbelievably beautiful and private, and it takes only 5 mins to walk there. The larger beach, however, is around a rock outcropping that is tough to pass if the tide is up and/or the sea is rough (which it was constantly during our stay). We therefore couldn’t do beach walks (unless we wanted to drive to a different beach) or walk to Tippy’s (food isn’t great there anyhow FYI). The town of Governor’s Harbour is around 15 mins away by car. All in all, a beautiful property and a great place to go to get away from it all!

Beautiful home and beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Miss Ruby as a group of 12. We had a great stay. Misty, the house manager was super helpful in showing us around town and helping us with any questions we had. The beach is not quite as close as it seems in the picture, it is a 5 to 7 minute walk to the beach. Once at the beach is one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen! All the beds in the property could use a soft mattress topper, they were all hard. Tippy‘s restaurant is a fun environment and good food, it’s about a 25 to 30 minute walk on the beach, or a quick five minute drive. Buccaneers in town was great. Definitely do the fish fry on Friday night, was the highlight of our week!

Perfectly relaxing family vacation-beautiful beaches everywhere!

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: This house was perfect for our group. Everyone had their own bath, room on main floor for the grandma and the casita for the teenagers worked out great. Lovely pool. A short walk to the beach to the most beautiful stretch of beach that goes on forever, is perfect for swimming and has hardly anyone on it. Trees for shade. House had plenty of chairs to take down. The location is great for exploring the island. Went to Tilly’s (delicious and great setting), Buccaneer Club in town (so good) and La Bougainvillea (my favorite lunch spot for the view and food). Make dinner reservations. Misty was great and responsive. House was clean and really bright and pretty. Upstairs bedrooms have high ceilings and outside balcony access which is nice. House had everything we needed.
