Acerca de este alojamiento vacacional
Stylish & Private Beachfront Home w/Htd. Pool, Banks Rd, Close to Restaurants
Bienvenido a Alfred House, una propiedad nueva, lujosa y apartada frente al mar con piscina privada en el extremo norte de la famosa French Leave Beach (anteriormente Club Med Beach). No hay casas entre esta casa y la playa de arena rosada de una milla de largo donde alguna vez estuvo un Club Med, la ubicación de playa más buscada en Eleuthera. El océano es turquesa, poco profundo e históricamente seguro, y ha servido bien al Club Med durante muchos años. A los niños les encanta esta playa poco profunda. Disfruta de miles de pies de playa desierta, amplias vistas al océano desde todas las habitaciones principales y el sonido y el olor del océano desde todas partes. Alfred House está ubicado a solo una milla de la ciudad principal, Governors Harbors, que tiene tiendas y algunos excelentes restaurantes.
Alfred House es una casa de estilo colonial de 5.000 pies cuadrados y 5 habitaciones (más una cabaña opcional de una habitación), ubicada a solo 25 pasos de la playa. La casa fue diseñada y decorada para reflejar la sensación relajada de las cabañas en el Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda. Tanto el piso de arriba como el de abajo de Alfred House tienen una pared de ventanas francesas de vidrio, por lo que a medida que avanza por la casa, ve el mar a cada paso. La casa está amueblada con antigüedades de teca india y piezas personalizadas hechas de teca, mango y cerezo, y fotografías en blanco y negro de íconos de películas. Hay pisos de madera hondureña, techos de cedro de cedro y baldosas de mármol y pizarra.
En la planta baja, Alfred House cuenta con una gran sala que mira a través de una pared de puertas francesas de vidrio en la playa y el océano. La cocina de planta abierta da al océano y presenta estanterías blancas de madera personalizadas con encimeras de piedra con incrustaciones de conchas mexicanas. Los electrodomésticos son de acero inoxidable. La isla de la cocina está cubierta con un mostrador de teca de diez pies con taburetes de teca a juego.
Hay un dormitorio principal con baño en suite en la planta baja con vista al mar y baño completo en suite. También abajo hay un segundo baño completo con ducha a ras de suelo.
Afuera, la planta baja cuenta con un hermoso patio cubierto adyacente a la piscina, un lugar con sombra para disfrutar de la brisa del mar y el sonido del océano. El piso de la terraza contiene un hermoso mosaico de una caracola hecha por un artista local de la isla. El patio tiene asientos para bebidas o café donde se puede ver y escuchar el océano.
El piso de arriba de Alfred House tiene cuatro habitaciones más. Las dos suites principales de arriba tienen camas king; Espectaculares vistas al mar, grandes terrazas y baños completos en suite. Las dos habitaciones más pequeñas tienen dos camas individuales en cada una. Cada par de gemelos puede convertirse en un rey a pedido.
El piso de arriba también cuenta con una gran sala de medios, otro lugar de reunión, que mira hacia el océano y muestra agua turquesa a través de varias puertas francesas.
El solárium de arriba, con su gran hilera de persianas de caoba hondureña, corre a lo largo de la casa (60 pies), con millas de vistas a la playa y al océano. Está amueblado con cómodos sillones blancos.
Las comodidades en Alfred House incluyen aire acondicionado completo, lavadora y secadora, un gran televisor de pantalla plana con DVD en la sala de medios, Internet de alta velocidad con WIFI. La casa no tiene televisión por cable o satélite. Se proporciona servicio de limpieza dos veces por semana. Hay una cabaña opcional de un dormitorio a través del pequeño camino de arena que se puede agregar por $ 1800 por semana. Si no lo alquila, se puede alquilar por separado. Las dos casas tienen buena separación y a menudo se alquilan por separado.
Alfred House está rodeada por más de 20 acres de naturaleza salvaje aislada, llena de árboles de casuarina, cocoteros, cactus gigantes, uva de mar y lechuga, a pesar de que estamos a solo una milla del pueblo. Explore French Leave Beach y vea las ruinas del antiguo Club Med, que fue arrastrado por un huracán. Hay un excelente snorkel justo al lado de nuestra propiedad.

ROUGH ROAD GETTING THERE BUT WORTH IT. SO CLOSE TO TOWN, SO PRIVATE. NICE POOL, AMAZNG PINK SAND BEACHES, SUPER COMFY HOUSE, WELL EQUIPPED KITCHEN (NEEDS BBQ CLEANING TOOLS-- GRILL BRUSH). NEEDS A WAY TO PLAY MUSIC (SONOS OR BLUETOOTH SPEAKER, ETC). NONE OF THAT MATTERS B/C IT'S IN PARADISE.

The house was mostly as described. The refrigerator wasn't the one in the picture and both the fridge and stove had seen better days. They both worked but just made the kitchen look less upscale compared to the rest of the house. The house wasn't ready for our 4pm check-in which was a little disappointing after a long, hot day of travel, but we were able to put our groceries in the fridge while we waited. Had trouble getting the grill to light so might want to look into that. Could also use a net to clean the pool. Beware, the road to the house is very rough (pretty much off-roading) so rent the most rugged vehicle you can. And beware when the power goes out so does the water. We were prepared for the power but the water was an unpleasant surprise. Despite all that we would still stay again. The rest of the house was beautiful and comfortable. The view can't be beat. The ocean in front of the house was a little rough during our stay so we took the short walk to French Leave Beach for a calmer experience. We had a great time and would highly recommend this house especially if the appliances are updated.

The place is a little dated and needs some updates for stay, especially in the kitchen. More glasses, glasses for the beach, new blender etc. In addition, more beach towels (big ones) beach chairs, coolers etc. could be supplied. The pool was ok, but was turning color by the end of the week and was a little cool in temperature. Some more pool toys would be nice for families with children.

This house fit our large family nicely!! Overall a great place to stay with a great beach right in front. We loved the island and being able to drive all around and explore. The Atlantic side was rough (due to weather) but you could drive to the other side to find calm water! The house could use a little work. A/C unit leaking in one of the bedrooms and the twins beds were pretty old. We also didn’t know the house had unfiltered water (which is somewhat normal there). But during the a few days it rained it was hard to get water from any store in town for drinking and you can’t drink or cook with the water.

My family of 9 had a great time at the Alfred House in Governor’s Harbor. The house was perfect for the 9 of us. 5 bedrooms worked perfectly for 2 couples, 4 teens, and 1 single person. 4 bathrooms worked ok, but bear in mind that the two double rooms upstairs did not have a bathroom on their floor.
Kitchen and dining room were excellent, particularly the space at the dining room table and chairs. Living room sofas were great for hanging out.
Of course, best feature was gorgeous semi-private beaches. The blue clear water was amazing, perhaps only topped by the pink beaches.
Rental agency was easy to deal with and very responsive. They sent lots of useful information in advance concerning things such as rental cars, excursions and restaurants.
Only warning I would give is that if you chose to hire one of the chefs, be sure to get a definitive price quote in advance. We had two different chefs cook for us. The one we got a quote from cost $200, while the other without a quote charged us $900.

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.........

One of my girlfriends helped me find this house and set up our trip - I had never been to the Bahamas and it was a 50th birthday celebration with my best friends and my 2 kiddos - I had an amazing time! The house was huge and fit us all very well - such a neat setting and the furniture was nice and comfy. We were not far from the grocery store and felt very secluded at the same time - just a stunning location and right next door to the old Club Med resort and therefore we had a mile of pink sand beaches to ourselves for the most part - just amazing!!! I am looking forward to visiting again soon! We were a little pre-season so not as much stuff was open or available, but it was still a terrific time for relaxing and spending quality time together.

Very nice house in a very nice location. We had a great stay. The house looks exactly like advertised and is in overall good condition. The doors (all of them) have rusted out hardware and all of the doors on the second floor are inoperable by any practical means, so don’t make plans that involve the upper deck or open upper floor.
Driving to the house involves dirt roads that are encroached by hard brush, so if you rent a car, be warned as you will be responsible for scratches to the vehicle, but believe me, it is worth it for the very private location and Atlantic coastal beaches right outside the front door.
The house is close to Governors Harbor, so even though the house feels secluded, it is mere minutes to amenities.
We would definitely stay here again.

Alfred House was positioned beautifully with the ocean framed by palm trees and excellent snorkelling on hand from the enormous stretch of empty whit sand. A lovely cool oasis when the heat got too much, we loved the colonial style and casual ambiance. The freshwater pool was great as was the shady verandah. Kitchen was well-equipped. The odd power cut reminded us we were far from the big city, but it all added up to a fabulous vacation. Recommend!

It was a great place to be with friends and family, however, the property could be better managed and attended too. Never got AC fixed in 3 of the rooms, had to unclog one of the sinks in the bedroom myself and the caretaker never returns any of our calls or What’s App messages. Recommend finding someone to take better care of this property as it could be an amazing rental.

Magnificent House
The house and the location were awesome. Very relaxing
There is a protected beach about 1/2 mile north. Everyone was very nice. Definitely go to Island Farm for provisions. Jimmies at the North Eleuthera airport seems to have the best price and selection on liquor. Harbour Island is a great day trip. The Bucaneer club was great as well as 1648. Very relaxing

This villa provided the perfect getaway for our group of 3 adults and 7 teenagers. It was appropriately stocked with everything we needed included a sunlit deck for yoga in the morning and a covered porch for afternoon cocktails. Right on a secluded beach away from it all but good proximity to town. If you are coming from the US, don’t be surprised if the house managers solicit your support in collecting items of need. And make sure to ask for two (2) large 10 gallon+ jugs of drinkable water.

Alfred House is a beautiful home with lots of charm. There is plenty of room and fit 4 adults 2 preteens and 2 kids perfectly. The kitchen is well equipped with most things you need. We only cooked breakfast and had take out with the other meals. It is an older home and the wood floors creak (it's part of the charm) and one of the twins rooms smelled very musty and wet. Besides that it really is a wonderful home. The pool is not heated but the kids didn't mind swimming after a day at the beach. It was nice to come back to the house after all day beaching and snorkeling and relax on the big sitting areas and talk about our day. The location is great with a beautiful beach right in front of the house and another gorgeous beach within a one minute walk. Snorkeling was good but a bit tough on windy days. There is really good snorkeling off the beach on the French Leave side by the house and the other side about a 10 minute walk down. We were there during Thanksgiving week during Covid restrictions and most restaurants were closed. You still could find take out food and went a couple times to La Bougainvillea to eat lunch and hang out at the beach and pool there. Christine, the house caretaker, was very responsive and helpful. Also, she made 2 dinners for us and delivered it to the house since everything closed at 6 pm. Both dinners were delicious! There is Wifi but it's spotty and it's not unlimited, we weren't on it much. They have a dvd player but it doesn't play blu ray and there was a smart tv but we were scared to use it in case we went over the limited wifi. But we really didn't miss it. Matt Simon, the property manager, really was helpful whenever I had questions before and after booking the house and answered all our questions very quickly. We would recommend him to anyone, very professional and knowledgeable. We definitely would recommend Alfred House to anyone looking for a big house in a great location in a gorgeous setting.

We could not have felt more relaxed at Alfred House. We are big fans of Governors Harbor and this was our third trip there but, our first at this home. The most beautiful beach you could ever imagine is right out your front door. While inside, the bedrooms and well appointed kitchen made us feel like we were at our own home in the Bahamas. Truly loved it and will be back. Thank you.

It was the perfect house for our family. Total of 6 adults and 4 children under the age of 13. There is no need to worry about anything. The housekeeper keeps in touch and if you have any problems Christine or her husband David are on it immediately. We did not even sign into the wifi until the last few days. The beach by the Old Club Med is beautiful and snorkeling is great but the water is a little rough. We found our favorite beach the last day. As you come out of the house go left and walk for about 10 minutes to 15 minutes or you can drive. it was perfect , a protected cove with a strip of beach that goes to a small island. Very calm for our 6 year old,(we were able to use floats to relax ) shallow but yet the island is surrounded by coral,so the snorkeling was great as well. We all said we wish we would have found this beach the first day. You can drive the car down if you want as there is a path to the beach. We go on vacation every year and the best compliment was when my son in law said this turned out to be his favorite.However if you are looking for someplace with lots of shopping and many restaurants, forget it. This is a fairly primitive island and soooo wonderfully relaxing.
We ate lunch at Tippy's, we liked it there because we could also go down to the beach where they have cabana's and snorkel. So while some of us wanted to eat , some preferred just going to the beach.And some came and went. The breeze and the service was outstanding. Our big night out was dinner at 1648, it is a Marriott resort.(French Leave) Very expensive but we also had a couple bottles of wine.The food was exceptional there, so I guess it was worth it. Two of us went to Pascal's for lunch one day and I had the fish taco and being from Florida I am very picky about my fish taco's. These were great. I asked for them plain with no batter. They also have a pool there so if you have kids they can play in the pool while you relax and have lunch. Friday night fish fry ..GREAT AS W

The house is as advertised--beautiful and in good condition. The one thing to know is that it is on an isolated, unpaved road that is a bit difficult to navigate. Be prepared to rent a jeep. I would also highly recommend that you have them stock the fridge with basics before you get there because it takes a little bit to get oriented and find the grocery stores. Also, don't expect gourmet food in the stores--there's almost no produce and it is a lot of canned, frozen and processed foods. We had Christine, the property manager, prepare dinner one night and it was very good--highly recommend it. If you want to be isolated and sit and relax without running into many people, this is the house for you! We walked the beach each day and never saw more than a few people. If you want activities, be sure to book them in advance. We waited until a few days after we got there and then found out all the tours we wanted to take were booked. Finally, be aware that you are on the Atlantic side, where the winds are higher and the water a rougher.

We had another great trip back in Eluethera. We spent spring break there with our college kids and had a blast. Fishing with Tweaty and Deek was awesome. My husband was thrilled to catch a 63# Yellowfin Tuna. Our son was happy with his 25# Yellowfin and our good friend caught a 20# Wahoo. ��

We've stayed at Alfred House one time before, in 2017. Such privacy, wonderful, beautiful beach setting! And the new pool a lovely bonus. Seems there are some issues sometimes with the individual ac units in certain rooms, but nothing that couldn't be lived with during our time there. Our group this time all agreed that it would have been so nice to open up the wall of windows for ocean breezes, if only there were screens - because of no-seeums. Also, would be wonderful if there were a couple ceiling fans on the lower porch to circulate air better when less breezy to deter no-seeums. The house listing describes many windows & doors as part of architecture. Then when you rent you get a welcome letter explaining how difficult some of them are to operate, so best not to use many of them. So, a little frustrating, but not enough to ruin visit or keep us from recommending Alfred House to others - would just let them know this up front.

This house was amazing. The views were spectacular and French Leave Beach is basically across the street. The house is spacious for many family members. We had a great time. Plenty of towels. Needed more spices for cooking but all in all a great rental.

This was a once in a lifetime trip. French Leave beach is amazing (had it almost exclusively to ourselves the entire time). The house is solid, beautiful, and tastefully decorated. The pool is sweet when you are too lazy to wander down to the beach which is literally a stone's throw away. We had our own private hideaway off the beaten path for the week and it was amazing. The perfect way to celebrate my birthday with a group of my closest friends. And Misty, the property manager, was the most responsive and so helpful in every possible way (from check-in to recommendations to directions to answering all questions)--the ultimate professional. She really went above and beyond to make our stay all the more enjoyable. This rental is a real diamond in the rough. A slice of sophistication and tasteful luxury in a remote location, though not too far from local restaurants and nearby town when you want to be more social.

Probably our best vacation to date! Although any time in Eleuthera will be special. Both Alfred House (with pool) and Med Point were 5 star. Super comfortable for our group of 6 + 1. Had everything we needed to cook several meals at home (Lobster night!) and also enjoyed a couple of meals out. Weather and beaches were amazing. French Leave and Twin Coves were favorites. Of course, not wanting to leave when our week was over. Thanks to Misty, Clinton and especially the Owners for listing these lovely homes for rental.

Our group of 10 people couldn't have imagined a more perfect week. French Leave beach was gorgeous. We spent plenty of time on rafts in the shallow areas or just on the beach. There was good snorkeling right there (just south of the small one room cottage on property) if anyone wanted to do that. The morning walks were calm--hardly saw another person. We spent a decent amount of time at Twin Coves (walk up the road, but beware the dog at the round house) due to the good snorkeling there. We saw rays and turtles and tons of fish. Twin Coves was my favorite. The house was in wonderful condition. We had a chef come in one night and we ate out the other nights. We cooked breakfast and lunch each day. Kitchen was great. THe bedrooms were also very nice. The AC went out in our bedroom, but it wasn't enough to ruin the trip. We slept with the fan on and the door opened to the main room, so it wasn't too hot. The caretaker was easy to reach and responsive. There was nothing to be done about the AC until after we were gone due to the remote location of the island. Truly a wonderful home and the best location.

A group of eleven stayed at Alfred House and Med Point in Feb 2018. Both houses were lovely. They were well supplied with kitchen ware, bed linens, towels and soaps. Christine Rolle led us to them the first time - definitely needed, but it was easy after that using cars rented from Tracy. Christine made us a great Bahamian meal. She and David were very helpful the first night when we lost power for a short time. This was really the only problem we had all week and it was minor. The Club Med/French Leave Beach was as beautiful as we remembered it from 25 or so years ago, but the snorkeling was not as good - partly due to lots of wind and partly due to fewer colorful fish around. The beach really is quite spectacular - and it is so long that it never seems crowded. At most there may have been another dozen or so people on it at any point in time, and usually fewer than that. Many of the other near-by beaches were totally uninhabited - and the weather was perfect! The local grocery - Eleuthera Supply - was good for most of what we needed, but the Island Farm store in Palmetto Point was really terrific for fresh spices, vegetables, bread and specialty spreads. The fishing boats in Governor’s Harbor and Tarpum Bay come in around noon-1:30 and were great spots for fresh lobster and grouper. Be sure to bring bug spray to use in the afternoon as the no-see-ums can get you! The Beach Book (two were at the house) were very useful for helping us find beaches for specific qualities (e.g. a shelling beach and a great calm water beach, etc). Norma's in Governor’s Harbor was a good place for local souveniers. We enjoyed dinner at Tippy’s and the Friday Night Fish Fry, but for the most part enjoyed cooking at the houses and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The stars at night are really quite spectacular! Here are some recommendations we would make: Have at least two non-feather

We just spent a week at Alfred house and it was a wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect because it's a five minute drive into Governor's Harbour, but we basically had the beach to ourselves and all the privacy of a very remote location. The house was well equipped. The kitchen had everything one would need and more. Everything was very clean and well maintained. There were some beach chairs and even a few children's beach toys available. Overall, we had a great stay and found Alfred House to be in excellent condition which is saying a lot for any rental villa on the Atlantic ocean in the Bahamas. The minor issues like a tricky door handle or a loose toilet paper roller were trivial. People traveling to Eleuthera or any of the more remote Bahamian islands should know that power outages do occur and are part of the price of enjoying such a pristine and unspoiled location. Alfred House was lovely and we hope to return soon.

Fantastic!
We had a wonderful stay at Alfred House. Matt Simon was a pleasure to work with. From our first conversation he was responsive and very helpful.The staff at the house was very friendly and professional. I almost hesitate to share the accolades of this property and would love to keep it private for us. But Matt, Tara, the owner and the staff were so nice to work with and I feel I should share my comments for them.
The house is well appointed, like a lovely hotel, and is situated on a beautiful beach. We have traveled extensively and rented other homes and this is definitely a 5 star property. Our family consisted of 3 adult couples and one 8 month old baby. We were completely comfortable. The house has nice amenities and is spacious. We loved that there were three areas in the house to gather; the downstairs living room and kitchen, the upstairs media room and the upper deck. The beach is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been on. I would get up every morning for sunrise and walk the beach, it was so picturesque I really recommend doing that.
The people of Eleuthera were very friendly. The house is situated in a very convenient location. We enjoyed dinners at Tippys, 1684 and were regulars at Bacchus Fine Foods. We really enjoyed the Friday Fish Fry in town. However our favorite meal was lobsters that Christine's sister Beulia's husband caught. I boiled them and they were delicious. Definitely try to get them. I ordered basic groceries from the market at Rock Sound and I should have ordered more bread. Ordering ahead of time was very convenient as the local markets may run out of things.
My husband loves to snorkel and there was good snorkeling at the beach and at Twin Coves. The water is calm and the sand is so soft is was perfect for the baby's first beach experience.
It's an easy fun day trip to Harbor Island but just staying at the house is enough to have a fabulous vacation.
My family had a fantastic experience and I definitely recommend this property. We look forward to renting again!

Beautiful Home in Amazing Setting
Alfred House was the perfect setting for our family vacation. Two families were able to comfortably spend a week together with plenty of room. The furnishings are very nice with a large and comfy couch and seating area upstairs with a TV for watching movies in the evening. A similarly nice area was downstairs for the adults to relax and read books. The kitchen is well equipped with stainless steel appliances.
The beaches immediately in front of Alfred House were incredible with soft pink sand and places to snorkel or swim right in front of the house. Located in Central Eleuthera, we were able to explore the island without having to spend too much time in the car. Literally a few minutes from Governors Harbor, there were many close options for lunch or dinner. Banks Deli had great sandwiches and cheese with nice beer and wine selections. Baccus Fine Foods is another place to eat or get what you need to prepare a gourmet meal at home; we cooked fish we caught with Paul Petty's son Richard. Dinner at 1648 located at French Leave Resort was a special treat enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
Matt Simon and Tara were a big help with identifying resources and activities which allowed us to plan our week. Caretakers David and Christine Rolle were very nice and helpful as well. Everyone checked in with us and made sure we were happy during our stay which we were. We would stay at Alfred House again.

Paradise found on Eleuthera!
My family and I have rented homes on Eleuthera on quite a few occasions and Alfred House is without a doubt our favorite. The property has it all; views, privacy, easy access to outstanding beaches and the house is exceptional on all fronts. Matthew and his team at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals provide a seamless, enjoyable experience when booking your stay.

Relaxing stay
We recently stay at the Alfred House. The house & beaches were beautiful. The Alfred House is very nicely decorated throughout. The house was clean upon our arrival. I was pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen drawers absent of crumbs & grime which unfortunately in other rentals we come across this quite often. Unfortunately rentals are not always kept clean. I was also thrilled we had no incidents with roaches during our stay as that is always a concern of mine---sorry I detest roaches & don't want to have to deal with that during a vacation. The house did have a few maintenance issues to address (door out to BBQ didn't work, front door knob came loose, 2 toilets ran & so the only way to flush was to keep the lid off the entire time and flush that way, roof leak). Christine, the caretaker, was very nice and checked in on us a few times to make sure we were fine. She also sells some nice treats & delivered a dinner she cooked for us one night. The house had beach chairs and umbrellas along with some beach toys and accessories for young ones which was nice to have on the beach since there is no shade to speak of. We used both the beach right out front which was great but we preferred the beach to the right which was a lot calmer and had a cool little reef area to check out. BTW while we were snorkeling one day my husband and I came across a Caribbean reef shark-that was pretty cool.
Couple of Suggestions for Owners:
-leave pen and paper for the guests as we had nothing to make notes or lists with
-perhaps have a few more games and movies (that work) for the guests as there is no cable/satellite service & many of the movies where scratched beyond being able to watch
-provide a working house phone as the one there never worked for us - not sure what the issue was but we couldn't use while it was charging & it always seemed to need to be charged
-leave a list of tips inside the home of when places are closed, when places may start to run out of items etc. The Welcome letter definitely had some good info but it could use a few more good tips
A few recommendations for Guests:
- definitely bring bug spray & be ready with it around 5 pm as the bugs really come out then and they were bad
- bring some games/puzzles etc if you can fit into your luggage (see above)
- Make a trip to the grocery in Rock Sound (The Market). It really was the only one stop shop place that had any real type of selections and the prices were a tad better

Superlative property!
It is without hesitation that I highly recommend this property. We are frequent visitors to Eleuthera and love the GH area; much of the island can be quite remote. Alfred House is close to GH yet very private. No detail was overlooked in the construction of the house, and the kitchen is fully equipped. The bathrooms are spacious and finished to high standards. One of the members of our group commented on the lack of a sound system - we brought our own Bose so it wasn't an issue but is something to make note of should you stay at AH.
The home is well-maintained and the grounds are lovely.
We also rented the cottage on the property and enjoyed the added privacy and the cozy feel of the beach house.
The mosquitoes prevented us from eating outside in the evenings, however this is typical of the islands.
The access road is very rough, but again, typical for the area.
There is a new resort that has opened in GH, French Leave resort, which has an excellent restaurant "1648". It is a nice addition to Tippy's which has long been the stand alone for dining in the area.
We wore beach shoes and walked to Tippy's along the incredible French Leave beach - spectacular!
A walk in the opposite direction brings you to Twin Coves beaches which offer calmer waters and better swimming options than the beach directly in front of the house.
Alfred House is truly a beautiful property, thank you for sharing your home with us!
