5 Bedroom House in Governor's Harbour, Governors Harbour

Welcome to Alfred House, a spacious, luxurious, and secluded beachfront estate with an oceanfront heated private pool on the north end of world-famous French Leave Beach (formerly Club Med Beach). This mile-long beach of pink sand where a Club Med once stood is the most sought-after beach location on Eleuthera. The ocean is turquoise, shallow, and historically safe, having served Club Med well for many years. Children love this shallow beach. Enjoy thousands of feet of deserted beachfront, extensive ocean views from every major room, and the sound of the ocean from everywhere. There is excellent snorkeling right off our property.
Enjoy our new ocean-view pool! The pool can be heated for your comfort for a charge of $500 per week.
Alfred House is located just a mile from the main town, Governors Harbours, which has some excellent restaurants as well as grocery stores, gift shops, liquor stores, a bakery, and a fish fry street party every Friday night that is not to be missed. Walk to town past the lovely restored captain's homes dating from the 1800s. You can walk to the French Leave Resort's excellent 1648 restaurant in 15 minutes.
Alfred House is a 4000-square-foot, 5-bedroom island style home. The house was designed and decorated to reflect the laid back feeling of the cabanas at the Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda. Both the upstairs and downstairs of Alfred House have a wall of glass-paned mahogany French doors, so as you move through the house, you see the sea at every turn. The house is furnished with comfortable deep sofas, custom pieces made of teak, mango, & cherry woods, and large black and white photographs of movie icons. There are Honduran hardwood floors, cypress cedar ceilings, and marble and slate tile washrooms.
Downstairs, Alfred House features a vast great room that looks out through a wall of glass patio doors at the beach and ocean. The open-plan kitchen faces the ocean, and features custom wood white shelving with shell encrusted stone counter tops. Appliances are stainless steel. The kitchen island is capped with a ten-foot teak counter with matching teak bar stools.
There is a king bedroom master suite downstairs with an ocean view and a en-suite full bath. Also downstairs is a second full bath with walk-in shower.
The upstairs of Alfred House has four more bedrooms. The two huge upstairs master suites have king beds; spectacular ocean views, big decks, and full en suite baths. The two smaller bedrooms have two twin beds in each. Four of the five bedrooms at Alfred House have ocean views. One twin room has a pond view.
The upstairs of Alfred House also features a huge media room, another gathering spot, which faces the ocean and shows turquoise water through several French doors.
The upstairs sun deck, with its grand row of Honduran mahogany shutters, runs the length of the house (60 ft), with miles of beach and ocean views.
Outside on the first level is a lovely covered patio adjacent to the pool, a shady spot for enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of the ocean. The floor of the terrace contains a lovely mosaic of a conch made by a local island artist. The patio has seating for dining or lounging.
Amenities include full AC, large flat-screen TV in the media room, NEW SUPER-FAST STARLINK INTERNET, satellite TV with 100 channels including HBO, CNN, FOX, and BBC, a gas grill, and a washer/dryer.
Alfred House has just one neighbor, a one-bedroom cottage. Otherwise, the nearest house is 100s of yards down the beach.
Alfred House is surrounded by over 20 acres of secluded wild nature, full of casuarina trees, palms, giant cacti, sea grape and lettuce, even though we are only a mile or so from town.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We won’t return to Alfred House. Upon arrival we were unimpressed with the cleanliness of the home, dusty, and there was a cockroach in the kitchen. Ok it’s the islands, not terrible. Then, turn on the faucet and no water. Hours on day one spent waiting for two trucks to deliver water to the home, workers there, too stressful but by 9pm we had water. The following day another set of workers arrived and we were told they were diverting water to the little home on the property where other guests were staying as they ran out of water. Concerned of course about the status of water I was assured there was adequate water for our stay. Another stressful day. Thurs night we returned home from dinner out and no water again. More stress. Water returned after two more sets of workers came out by 1pm Friday. The one small TV in the home doesn’t work for even mirroring a movie so my family huddled around my laptop to watch a move at night together. The one staff member named MADDY was amazing and was responsive and helpful and had empathy for our situation and tried hard. The owner is in Canada and out of touch with the condition or preparation needed to deliver a vacation experience at the price she is charging. I would go stay at another home or French Leave resort for same price or better yet another island. We wish we could write something better as we have traveled extensively throughout the Bahamas, Turks and Caribbean but we won’t be back to Eleuthera.
