Stylish & Private Beachfront Home w/Heated Pool, Walk to Restaurants
Welcome to Alfred House & Cottage, a spacious, luxurious, and secluded 5000 square foot beachfront estate with an oceanfront heated private pool on the north end of world-famous French Leave Beach (formerly Club Med Beach). There are no houses between this house and the mile-long beach of pink sand where a Club Med once stood, 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.
A solar power system with battery back-ups is being installed in November of 2025 to ensure uninterrupted power during local power outages.
Alfred House is located just a mile from the main town, Governor's Harbour, 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 6-bedroom island style home (including a one-bedroom cottage), located just 25 paces from the beach. 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 Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn sofas, vintage pieces made of teak, mango, & cherry woods, and large black and white photographs of movie icons. There are Honduran mahogany floors, cypress cedar ceilings, and marble and slate tile washrooms, Kohler fixtures.
Downstairs, Alfred House features a vast great room that looks out through a wall of custom 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.
The upstairs 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.
The one-bedroom beachfront guest cottage 25 yards from Alfred House has a huge 1100-square-foot teak wrap-around deck overlooking the sea, with loungers, chairs, and picnic table. Inside, the cottage has 1000 square feet, a large great room, full kitchen, separate king bedroom, and a full bath. The living room has potential for two rollaway beds which can be set up, so the cottage can sleep up to 4 guests. (A charge of $100 per week applies per rollaway bed.) Alfred can sleep up to 14 guests in all.
Five of the six bedrooms have ocean views. One twin room has a pond view.
Amenities include full AC, large flat-screen TV in the media room, NEW SUPER-FAST STARLINK INTERNET, satellite TV w/100 channels including HBO, CNN, FOX, and BBC, a gas grill, and a washer/dryer.
NOTE: During the peak spring and holiday seasons, rates are for up to 12 guests. During the rest of the year, the off-peak rates are for the first 10 guests.
