Miss Ruby is a 3 to 5 minute walk (depending on your pace) from a miles-long pink-sand beach, usually deserted. This beach has a unique, totally-protected pool, perfect for small children, as well as a long stretch of postcard-perfect ocean beach. Miss Ruby features beautiful ocean views from the upper floor rooms and decks.

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. ##### Angee S.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew G. 30 Mar 2024 #### Lovely spot Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

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. ##### Andrew G. ### 8/10 Good #### Lori G. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Lori G.

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. ##### Raeann L.

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.

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!

Reviewer Comments: Very comfortable house. Beautiful beach area. A bit of a walk to beach. Driving required for 60+ year olds and not that easy/convenient. ##### Donna A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John (Jack) S., Bedford Hills 19 Mar 2018 #### 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! ##### John (Jack) S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley E. 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Shelley E. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Abby L. 23 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Abby L.

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! ##### Beth A.

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. ##### Cathy G.

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: We are repeat visitors to the island and have stayed in several other rental houses all along Eleuthera. Miss Ruby has by far been the best overall. The location was so close to everything you need: groceries, beaches, restaurants, etc. The house itself was incredibly well stocked and clean. We are used to packing extra spices, some kitchen utensils, flashlights, bug spray, floats, etc. but Miss Ruby had everything you needed and more! Our only con to the house were the beds. All of the beds were just thin mattresses on top of wood slats in the bed frame that were incredibly loud any time someone moved. Luckily, we were too tired most nights for it to be a huge problem, but if you’re on vacation to rest up and catch some extra sleep, this may be a bigger problem. Misty was so nice and accommodating without being ove bearing. She met us upon arrival and showed us around the house and then let us swiftly get into vacation mode. We will definitely consider this house again for future visits. ##### amanda R. ---
