Garden of Light,Charming Oceanfront Villa,Tiki Huts& Generator,10% off 7+ nights

Wonderful property with a beautiful landscape of gardens and trees on the ocean. All you need to enjoy a wonderful trip. Owner and property managers available and so helpful!

Quiet, secluded and spacious. Comfortable beds. The proximity to, privacy and the amount of beach front can't be beat. One word of advice -- get a bigger set of wheels. You'll still make it in a sedan, but you would feel much better driving the stretch of the road between the house and the main road in an SUV.

We booked this trip one week before we left. The owner was very accommodating of the last minute booking. The property was better than described. Beautiful remote location with the beach almost totally to ourselves as far as we could see. I 100% recommend this property.

The beach here is fantastic---pristine and remote. We saw only a few people each day we were there. We saw two jet skis one day, but other than that it was completely quiet and serene. It is approximately 100 steps from the back of the house to the edge of the cliff and then 16 steps down some pretty steep stairs to the beach. You cannot see the beach from the house, but once you get there, the view is beautiful. We were really happy with the beach chairs that were set up on the beach---large metal chairs with cushions. The house itself was very, very clean and had nice appliances, as well as a stock of beach accessories (buckets, cooler, boogie board, etc.). The washer and dryer worked great, as did the mini split AC units in each bedroom. There is no AC in the bathrooms or kitchen, but between the many fans provided and the AC units in the bedrooms, we stayed nice and cool. The house is functional, but it really needs to be updated, and the king size mattress replaced. The bedding and towels need to be replaced. The house is clearly well-loved/used, but the accumulation of old and mismatched bedding, towels, dinnerware, etc. does not enhance the property.

The beach pictures in the listing are outdated. Storms have eroded the beach, the hillside, retaining wall, steps and palapa. The Palapa for Garden of light is gone. The stairs have been rebuilt, but to a very steep angle which makes it very challenging to carry the provided chairs and umbrella down to the beach. Do to the angle of the steps, it is best to hang on with both hands. It is a very quite location with a gorgeous beach that does not have much traffic of other people. Since garden of light is set back from the beach cliff, it has less wind and therefor more bugs. use your bug spray when out on the decks. Upstairs shower hot water was inconsistent. We were unable to get the downstairs TV to connect to any of the apps, though it showed the Roku was connected. Upstairs TV connected Refilling the 5 gal water container was a bit of a challenge The 2 stores where often out, but purchasing individual gallon containers was possible. The 2 stores in governors harbor where basic, limited veggies, no fresh meats or fish, all Frozen. Despite reports of fishing boats going out every day, they did not, and no success at purchasing fresh fish in governors harbor during the 10 day stay. I was successful in Tarpum bay with purchasing fresh fish on a Thursday at 130 pm when the boats came in with loads of snapper. Bottom line, governors harbor area is a food desert, properties beach is great but treacherous to walk down the stairs unless holding on with both hands, one shared palapa.

enjoyed staying in Garden of Light; the beach is gorgeous and almost always private; great communication with the host

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!

Beautiful property with private beach and everything you need.

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.

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.

Perfect
