This home really needs updating. There is mildew on lamp shades, drapes. All the walls need repainted. All appliances need replaced. This home is not being taken care of.

Beautiful home

It’s beautiful, we would definitely stay again. The location is epic! Amazing beach right outside the door, very close to town. It’s technically across the road from the beach, but it’s a little dirt road (more like a driveway). A few fast moving cars. We rented the optional cottage, which is on the ocean side of the “road”. It’s very cute. Be sure to rent an SUV as the road is very poorly maintained. Comfortable furniture - Pottery Barn level. Beds extremely firm (not to my taste, but good for some). The upstairs “primary” suites are quite nice, but sorely lacking for a place to sit. Nowhere in house is good for remote work. Off of the bedrooms is a huge uncovered porch, but devoid of furniture, so not useful. Net connection is terrible. There are two LTE providers in the area. If you see a Huawei modem in a photo it’s the wrong one. The villa we rented a few miles south used the (much better) other provider. We roamed on our cell phones instead. I note for the owner that Starlink is now be available on Eleuthera. Staff were ok. Several told us that the owner doesn’t have good relationships with trades on the island, and it shows in their availability. We had a handyman issue that lasted all 2 weeks. We hired our own cleaner because hers (included in the rent) was sick. Owner declined to reimburse us. Aside from these issues, we would definitely rent again. Hopefully this helpful feedback doesn’t preclude that!

Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2023

Beautiful Home but Rough Roads

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: I am about to be “that person” who says they never write bad reviews but in this case it’s true. I am typically a handle any issues outside of leaving reviews kind of person but I wish I would have been warned of these things before we spent as much money as we did to go to Eleuthera and specifically the Alfred House. Pros: the house is beautiful, the beach in front of the house to the right has amazing snorkeling. We saw sea turtles, a barracuda, and so many beautiful fish. This side of the island the water is a bit rougher than the other side but we still found it amazing. It’s also very private. We practically had the beach to ourselves for several of the days. Matthew who you book through is incredible and so helpful. The kitchen has everything you need for a large group. Cons: the road to get to the house is VERY rough. It has quite a few pot holes, lots of tree roots and the brush on the side was overgrown and scratched the sides of our rental cars. Thank goodness the person we used for our rental cars warned us of how bad it was and didn’t give us nice vehicles because of it. Christine, the house manager, was a bit hit or miss. We had a little issue the first night we were there of her getting upset when we couldn’t keep up with her driving to the house (we had 3 cars following her and we landed after dark so it was a bit tricky). We also had a hard time getting ahold of her once we were there to get questions answered and sorted. The grocery stores in Governors Harbour have very limited supply of fresh produce and meats, just a warning. The wood floors of the house are very noisy but most of us had kids and slept with a sound machine so that made it better when some people were walking around upstairs. The pool is also really nice but it’s very cold. Of course, we wish it was heated but not a huge deal. Overall, we felt like the house sadly wasn’t worth the price and effort

A Memorable Stay at Alfred House – A True Paradise in Governor’s

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I, along with four other couples, recently had an unforgettable stay at Alfred House in Governor’s Harbour. From smooth travel to stunning views, every moment exceeded our expectations. Arrival and Property Overview. Reaching Governor’s Harbour Airport (GHB) and finding Alfred House was seamless. The property was immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Each bedroom featured modern bathrooms, and the fully air-conditioned interiors offered a cool retreat after outdoor adventures. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the BBQ was spotless, making meals effortless. The ground-floor family room, with soft white couches, was perfect for group relaxation, while the upstairs lounge provided additional comfort with plush seating and a TV. Outdoor Spaces. The pool, expansive veranda, and lush gardens created idyllic spots to unwind. The breathtaking ocean views made these spaces our favorite for relaxation. Beaches and Attractions. French Leave Beach, with its pink sands and clear waters, was enchanting. We also explored the turquoise Caribbean Sea and visited the Glass Window Bridge, where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet dramatically. A day trip to Harbour Island introduced us to charming beaches, vibrant local culture, and delicious cuisine. Convenience and Connectivity. High-speed internet allowed a few of us to work remotely without issues. Alfred House’s location provided easy access to restaurants, wine shops, and live music. Sourcing fresh fish from local fishermen for dinner was a delightful highlight. Practical Considerations. Brief power outages were managed seamlessly with battery backups, ensuring uninterrupted lighting and device charging. Final Thoughts...Alfred House perfectly balanced luxury, relaxation, and adv

Beautiful Eleuthera!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Alfred House was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 3 children. Great floor plan with lots of room with comfortable furniture. The beaches were fabulous. Casuarina Bay (right in front) was a little rocky and steep but good for snorkeling. We loved French Leave beach- the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. Beach was flat and easy for the children to play on. We had one windy day and drove (10-15 minute walk) down to Twin Coves- another gorgeous beach sheltered from the wind. Alfred House is a great location with a number of great restaurants close by- 1648, Tippy's, Buccaneer Club and Da Perk for breakfast! We also had Josh (local chef) cook for us one night- great food and rum punch! Yes the road is bumpy but well worth it. The interior of the house was very clean and beautiful but the exterior and upstairs porch could have been pressure washed- but I understand weather on a beach can be harsh on homes. Also the dishwasher leaked and stove was a little old but worked. Nothing that would stop us from returning for another fabulous week in this beautiful house and location!

Exceptional Experience

This home, location, beach, and service of the manager and caretaker were exceptional. Eleuthera is an amazing experience, and this home made it even better. Our large family of teens and young adults was comfortable and had plenty of room to explore and relax. Matthew is unbelievably responsive and answered all my questions nearly immediately (and I had a lot). Christine (the caretaker) and her husband are just precious people. I hired her to cook dinner for us every night. Her food was delicious and was an exceptional value. I’d 100% recommend hiring her for meals. I saw some complaints on previous reviews about the road to the home…here’s the deal, folks…you’re going to a tropical island and renting a secluded home that basically sits on one of the most beautiful beaches you can imagine. The road is passable, and that’s all you need. If you’re looking for a posh resort, there’s just nowhere on Eleuthera that’s right for you. If you want an adventure, but want luxury and comfort, this home is it.

Alfred House

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Have worked on Eleuthera and have personally become a frequent visitor to the Island mostly from Rainbow Bay to South Palmetto Point. Alferd House location is a perfect private and relaxing experience. The beach access and the pool make it ideal. One thing that may make the house more endearing would be outdoor furniture on the second level decks outside the living room and bedrooms. Great stay regardless as in my thoughts no bad stays on Eleuthera. Heading back in September and again in April.Cheers

An Island Gem

This is a beautiful home in an absolutely stunning location. We loved listening to the waves pound the reef at night and the wind in the palms. Both the main house and the cottage were spotless and are beautifully decorated in a clean, fresh and timeless style with ultra-comfy couches, gorgeous big wooden doors that open to the breezes and a lovely little pool. The kitchen was terrific and the layout great for our family of 12. We loved the cards and puzzles that came with the house, too. The only suggestion for improvement is that some of the linens could be updated (a few had stains and tears or didn't quite fit the beds) and WiFi was a bit spotty but the TVs were great. Christine, the housekeeper, is an absolute gem. She made check in and check out super easy and we had her cook an amazing local meal for our first night --one of the best values and meals of the week. We hope to be back! Thank you to all who helped make this a memorable trip.
