Overview & Photos

Welcome to The Better Life and Cottage.  This newly constructed home (will be completed April, 2024) offers a gorgeous heated pool with a gazebo.  (There is a $50 per night fee to heat the pool.)  It is located on the prestigious Banks Road of Governors Harbour, the most desirable location on the island.  Better Life is a two-minute walk down a deeded path to spectacular pink-sand Poponi Beach, one of the most sought-after beaches on Eleuthera. There is excellent snorkeling right off our beach. Bring your snorkel gear!

A three-minute walk down that beach takes you to La Bougainvillea boutique resort with its excellent beachfront restaurant and bar.  A four-minute drive takes you to Tippy’s famous beachfront restaurant.  Governors Harbour, the main town on the island, is just eight minutes away by car.  Governors Harbour has restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, liquor stores, and a great fish fry every Friday night.
