Newly Updated Beach House @ Famous French Leave Bch, Htd Pool, Paddle Boards

Salty Dolphin House is a luxurious, 4-bedroom, 4-bath home, located fifty yards from the world-famous French Leave Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas. Salty Dolphin has spectacular views of the beach and ocean. It is located on the historic Banks Road, the premier location on Eleuthera, a mile from the town of Governor's Harbour, and also from Tippy's Restaurant. Salty Dolphin also has a beautiful heated pool that can be enjoyed by the entire family. (Pool heat is optional for a fee of $350 per week.)

Amenities include a full-service, well equipped kitchen, air conditioning, brand new front load washer/dryer, WIFI, satellite television, three flat-screen TVs, DVD player with video library, VOIP phone with free unlimited local and international calls, child and adult games, paddle boards, both a gas and charcoal grill, a full house generator, and a new foosball table! We have two WIFI systems now, one from the landline carrier and one via the cell phone carrier, just in case one system goes down.

Salty Dolphin offers great outdoor living spaces, with a huge wrap-around deck, loungers, a large umbrella, gas and charcoal grills, outdoor dining area, two outdoor showers, a pergola for shade, and a second level deck with a second outdoor dining set, and a built in bench for spectacular outdoor entertaining.

You enter Salty Dolphin into the spacious kitchen/living/dining/bar area, as well as a full bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. The 11' quartz island, with built in oven and range with overhead ventilation, seats six comfortably. The large dining area accommodates at least eight and also hosts a built in wet bar. This family room has a couch, love seat and chair, in addition to a large custom built-in cabinet, which hosts a 55” flat screen television. The brand new, full sized, front load washer & dryer are located in a small laundry room to the right of the entrance. The sliders to the rear deck, and the first outdoor dining area are located straight ahead. To your right is the computer room (with wifi and VOIP phone) and access to the two first-floor bedrooms. Both of these bedrooms have king size beds and full bathrooms.

Returning to the main living area, you take the steps to the second floor. Here we have a breakfast nook, with sink, refrigerator, coffee and tea pot, microwave, living room with 50” flat screen, couch, and sliding glass doors to the front second level deck and seating area (all with BEAUTIFUL beach and ocean views). The first bedroom has a queen size bed and sliding glass door to the second level deck and a spectacular beach and ocean view. The second bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted to a king, full bathroom, and a private deck, overlooking the natural beauty of Eleuthera and Charlowe's Pond behind the house. From this level, you can enter the sundeck, hosting the second outdoor dining area, and built in seating bench. The views from the deck are truly spectacular. The ocean is 50 yards away and you can see the pure beauty of Eleuthera.

Just walk across the street and down our private path, and you're on the beautiful pink sand of French Leave Beach (also known as Club Med Beach, for the Club Med that was located there many years ago). There is excellent snorkeling off the southern end of this beach, a minute or two walk from the private path.

Salty Dolphin comes with everything you need to enjoy our beautiful beach, including snorkel gear, beach chairs and umbrellas, and two outdoor showers.

Tippy's famous restaurant is just a mile away, offering fine dining and live entertainment. Other upscale restaurants nearby include 1648 and La Bougainevillea, as well as many casual dining venues like Buccaneer Club and DaPerk. The town of Governor's Harbour, the main town, less than a mile away, has grocery stores, restaurants, and shops.

Rates are for 6 guests. Additional guest $50/night.
