Notes from the host
Tir Na Nog
Welcome to Tir Na N'og, “Land of the forever young”, a luxurious beachfront estate on 10 secluded acres of gardens and walkways. Tir Na Nog includes a stunning, mile-long deserted pink-sand beach, manicured grounds surrounded by coconut palms, flowers, fruit trees, a private tennis court, and a large, spectacular new infinity-edge pool. (Pool can be heated at renter's option for a fee of $400/week.)
Tir Na No'g was built in 2007 by local carpenters and craftsmen under the vision of famed interior decorator David Flint Wood. Decorated in the elegant style of an old Caribbean plantation house, the four separate housing structures allow for bedroom privacy, along with group dining and socializing in the Great Hall and surrounding patios. The estate is rented to only one group at a time, and all structures are included in the weekly rate.
Tir Na Nog is situated in the most sought-after location on Eleuthera, the Atlantic seashore on the Banks Road, where a select number of estates overlook a beautiful pink-sand beach, only minutes from nearby restaurants. The buildings on the estate include:
1. THE GREAT HALL: This elegant colonial-style building, surrounded by a large, wrap-around porch with sweeping views of the estate, is the gathering place for fine dining, relaxation and entertaining. The Great Hall features a full kitchen and large dining area with seating for 12. The spacious living/entertainment area, elegantly furnished in old plantation style, includes a large flat-screen TV with thousands of channels, DVD movie library, books, & games. The Great Hall also has a breezy outdoor dining area with a gas grill, and a roof deck with ocean views. WE NOW HAVE SUPER-FAST STARLINK WIFI THROUGHOUT!
2. THE MAIN HOUSE: This lovely building (right across the little driveway from the Great Hall) features another large wrap-around porch with views of the tennis court and gardens. Inside are three bedrooms, each with a full en-suite bathroom and separate entrance from the porch. Two of the bedrooms have king beds. The third has twin beds with two additional trundle beds. The bedrooms in the main house do not connect internally, so you must walk out onto the wrap-around veranda to go from one bedroom to another. Keep this in mind if traveling with small children.
3. THE BEACH COTTAGES: These two romantic cottages with views of the ocean and pool have king bedrooms with full bathrooms, under-counter refrigerators, coffee makers, and outdoor seating areas with deck chairs. They are located 25 yards from the Main House and Great Hall.
4. THE TIKI HUT: This beachside, open-air shelter has shady seating under a thatched roof. The nearby Cabana has outdoor showers and a storage room housing beach chairs, and beach toys.
5. THE TENNIS PAVILION provides shady seating on white wicker furniture beside the tennis court. The pavilion is fully equipped with tennis rackets and balls. It also contains a laundry room with washer and dryer.
MORNING MAID SERVICE (every weekday except holidays) and on-site caretaker are complimentary at Tir Na N'og. A private chef can be arranged.
A VAST REEF just 300 meters offshore ensures idyllic kayaking and snorkeling conditions for anyone staying at Tir Na N'og. We have two kayaks and a stand up paddle board.
We have beach recliners and water loungers for those of us who prefer to spend the day taking in the sun. We also have a baby monitor, pack and play crib, and beach toys. We have recently installed super-fast Starlink internet and satellite TV.
THE FAMOUS BEACH RESTAURANT AND BAR Tippy's is just a 10-minute walk down the beach, and the new Potlatch Club's restaurant and bar only a 5-minute walk. The town of Governors Harbour, just 2 miles away, has restaurants, grocery and liquor stores, ATMs, gift shops, and Friday Night Fish Fry!
