Best Romantic Beach House, Newly Remodeled, French Leave Beach

Med Point is the best 1 bedroom beach house on the best beach in the best township in Eleuthera. It is a ROMANTIC, SECLUDED AND STYLISH ONE-BEDROOM OCEANFRONT BEACHHOUSE, located on Casuarina Beach and just 100' from French Leave Beach (formerly also known as Club Med Beach for the Club Med resort that was located there in the 90s). It is on the point between the 2 beaches. No other properties are between it and world-famous French Leave Beach. It is a short stroll to Twin Coves Beach and its superb snorkeling reef. Med Point Beach House is like a lighthouse guarding the north end of French Leave Beach, which is the loveliest and safest beach in Eleuthera. In addition, we are only a 1 mile stroll to the center of town.

Med Point cottage has just one neighbor, a house across the road from it. Med Point's large oceanfront deck and oceanfront area are completely private, shielded from view by the cottage itself. The beaches on either side of Med Point are usually deserted.

The house was NEWLY RENOVATED in 2018 by a Governors Harbour's premier designer, with wood floors, Brazilian cherry doors, large Pottery Barn sofas, and new white tiled bathroom. Comforts include 400 thread-count sheets and Thomas by Rosenthal china, and minimalist decor. Step outside the glass doors, and you will see ocean spreading away as far as you can see.

Med Point is a large 1000 square foot one-bedroom house with a huge 1100 square foot teak wrap-around deck facing the beach and ocean. It has all modern conveniences, with a full kitchen, great room, wifi and large sliding glass doors on two sides facing the ocean to maximize your view. It has a KING BED master suite. The dining area faces the ocean.The kitchen is well supplied with cookware.

Amenities include NEW SUPER-FAST STARLINK INTERNET, satellite TV w/100 channels including HBO, CNN, FOX, and BBC, ceiling fans, A/C, a gas grill, and a washing machine. There is a picnic table on the deck, and sun loungers.

Med Point is also close to Tear Coat Cay, a small island offshore, where you can snorkel; also close to lots of reefs for other snorkeling. The water is gin clear, 100 feet of visibility, and we have seen parrot fish, groupers, rays and other exotic fish. The water is 75 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.

The drive to Med Point, takes you for about half a mile, on a sandy lane through French Leave Beach, looking out to sea and giant cacti and palms. An SUV is recommended for this road as it has rough patches. You will enjoy this splendid view of nature every day, as you go into town.

The famous bar/restaurant Tippy's is close, and there are upscale restaurants such as Sky Beach Club and 1648 Bar and Grill, Bachus Fine Foods within five minutes.

French Leave (Club Med) Beach stretches south for 1 mile: we are at the northern edge where it is quiet, with fewer tourists. Casuarina Beach, stretches north of us for another mile, and then Twin Cove beach stretches north for another mile or so. All of this can be walked along wide sandy pink beaches with excellent shelling. Or you can jog along the sandy path that is Old Banks Road and have wide vistas of white surf.

Most people who walk by Med Point, express regret that they are staying elsewhere! They tell us that they would like to spend their next holiday with us! Come and make your "couples vacation" a glorious dream.

Beautiful home/location - experience needs some attention to detail
This home is perfectly located on the water and near two beaches as described. It's very private, and you couldn't ask for better views of the ocean. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and the tools you need to prepare a meal. We found the home clean and generally well maintained. And the house is perfect for a couple. Our experience would have been better if we'd known before we booked that you cannot drink the tap water and need to rely on bottled water during your stay. The house would also benefit from a manual that explains how to use the television... it's not obvious which remote to use or which service to select. And we struggled to open many of the sliding glass doors... they could benefit from some repair or WD40. While the house manager/caretaker was lovely by email/whatsapp, we never met her. She said several times that she was coming by, but she never did. As a result, we lingered around the house awaiting her arrival and lost time to do other things and felt a bit overlooked, especially when we were hoping to resolve issues with the home. We did end up cutting our week on Eleuthera short by four days. While frustrations with power and internet outages at the house contributed to that decision, I would still say this house is a lovely place to retreat and spend time.

Slice of heaven!
We had a fantastic time at Med Point Cottage! it was plenty large for two people and decorated so tastefully. We would not hesitate in the future to come back to this cottage. The views are spectacular!

Magical week
This property did not disappoint! The view was great the seclusion was wonderful and everyone associated with the property was very helpful. There was enough to do on the island to keep us busy, but we enjoyed the relaxing time on our beach. We only saw a handful of people the whole time we were on the beach, which was nice. We are certainly hoping that we can return again soon!

Location, location, location
Perched on the point between two stunning beaches with the most glorious sunrises. Also centrally located on the island, which was great for venturing to the many other amazing beaches. As others stated, Christine is a real gem. Took her up on arranging a welcome meal for the first night there. Her coconut pie is amazing! The cottage is just as pictured and described, a spacious beach spot. There was some modest wear on the walls, towels, and fixtures, but clean, comfy, and more than enough space for two. My only nit picky complaint was I wish there was an ice try to make a few cubes of ice and not have to purchase a whole bag. We didn’t do much cooking, mostly snacking at the cottage, but was ample space to do so. Remember to bring or prepared to buy spices and such. Also bring soft cooler or insulated bag to take down to the beach. The freezer had some cooling packs in it for use. WiFi and the start TV worked well if you need to take a break from the sun. The main house was considerably closer than I anticipated but not a deal. We could hear the kids playing in the pool now and then buts that’s about it. The neighboring guest had visited the island many times before and were a very helpful resource when we had car rental issues. Christine also offered to help in a pinch. Would definitely return to Med Point.

Great location with nice set up and items. Having the beach chairs and umbrellas made our beach/book time much better. Walked right on to the beach and could walk uninterrupted for miles.

Superlative in every way
As others have previously stated, Med Point Cottage is an amazing location. It is thirty feet away from the surf with five floor-to-ceiling sliding doors providing a panoramic view. And yet, there is complete privacy. (There were no bed bugs.) To the right is the well-known French Leave pink sand beach. It’s a mile long and we never saw more than six people on it the whole eight days we were there. To the left is Casuarina beach. It’s about a half mile long and we were the only people on the beach the whole time except for a couple of people on walks. There is a large five-bedroom house behind the cottage (same owner) but you have almost no sense that it, or its occupants, are there. We were met by Christine Rolle, the resident manager for both houses. She was delightful. She advised that the washing machine was being replaced, but then she immediately offered to do our laundry for us The cottage interior has been thoughtfully decorated. Very simple. Very white. Interesting prints on the walls. The recessed halogen lighting creates a dramatic presentation of the space at night. There are three very silent ceiling fans and one very quiet air conditioner that do a fine job of keeping the house cool. Mentions were made about the firmness of the king-sized bed. We can confirm that is it very firm. We were fine with it. Others may not be. The house is about a one-hour drive from the North Eleuthera airport and is ten minutes from Governor’s Harbor. Others have mentioned the rough road that must be navigated to get to the house. It is, most definitely, rough. A car can make it if you’re gentle, but having an SUV is a much better idea. A few comments about shopping. There are two small grocery stores in Governor’s Harbor: Eleuthera Supply and Burrows. The selection at both is similar, but Burrows accepts credit cards whereas Eleuthera is all-cash. The availability of fresh vegetables and fruit is very limited. Very limited. And fresh herbs are non-existent. Better bring them with you. The most bizarre shopping problem is finding fresh fish. Before arriving, we read that local fishmen bring their catch to certain designated places in Governor’s Harbor and James Cistern. Maybe they do. But no matter what time, or which town, we would try, we would always hear that it was “too rough to go out,” or “he went out late and won’t be back until five,” etc. We gave up and bought some frozen tuna.

Bed bugs! Nice location, but do not go here
Do not go here. There was a massive bed bug infestation during our entire stay. My wife and I had approx 200 bites each on our bodies. Bed, floors, couches, rugs all infested. Property manager was informed. She did a spray and some laundry. That did not make the bugs go away. Then she got mad at us for saying they were still there! We had to do a deep cleaning and disinfection when we got home to prevent transfer of bugs to our house. No washer / dryer as promised. Cable and internet went out. Road to villa very rough. Must have jeep.
