About this house rental

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 has a new solar power system with battery back-ups to provide uninterrupted power during typical power outages.

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. Each pair of twins can be converted to a king.

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.

NOTE: During the peak spring and holiday seasons, rates are for up to 10 guests. During the rest of the year, the off-peak rates are for the first 8 guests, with a charge for additional guests.

We had 3 generations together in this beautiful 5 bedroom house. It was exactly as described! We booked and received back detailed suggestions for rental cars, chefs and things to do on the island! All of it was useful and we took benefit of all! The island offers plenty to see and do but honestly if you just stayed on the property, you would afford yourself a week of relaxation pool and beachside! The kitchen was well equipped with the basics. The provided beach towels were a great amenity! Everything was in good working order. The rental company and owner were very understanding when we sent word of a broken bowl. There is parking for 3 cars comfortably (our group had 2 SUVs and there was plenty of room for the chef to park. The town is easily accessible for groceries, restaurant and ice cream! Honestly- it is definitely on our list as a rental to revisit!

The home was glorious and cozy. The house manager Sonya made every detail spectacular and perfect for this trip. Our walks to explore old club Med ruins were such a memorable time. Thank you to the owners of this home for sharing. Ashley T

We enjoyed the scenery. The property is big and spacious. The garden is really nice with palm trees and other plants. Our biggest concern was the bugs in the rooms, the road leading to the property, and definitely property management. We have notified Christine about the bugs. She ignored. The bugs came out at night and they were all over the beds, walls. It was some sort of nocturnal bug. They were harmless, but we had to move into another bedroom that didn't have as "many" and we had to move the kids into another room that didn't have as many. We asked for new towels and had to wait three days to get them. On top of waiting, we had to drive all the way to Christine's restaurant to get the towels. Don't let Christine manipulate you to spend money at her restaurant and if you do, make sure you have the exact amount because she will not give you change. There was a blood stain on one of the covers in the room as well as other stains. Probably need to get new comfort sets. Overall, we enjoyed the scenery.........
