It was our 30th anniversary The house wasnât at all as described floor panel was old and make squeaky noise when you step on them we had issue with water going weak couple times you canât take a shower or use the toilet Sliding doors to the deck are hard to open needs replacement The deck is in very bad shape screws and some wood are coming out rails around the deck is falling down chairs and beach umbrella were rusted You have to wear your shoes to be able to walk on the deck Overall this place needs some major work We tried to check out early but the owner refused She didnât even care that she ruined our anniversary Definitely we donât recommend this place it is not what you read in the descriptions we wish they were more honest Location of the house Is nice even though it is not on a beachfront but it is a walking distance from French leaves beach
Excellent location. Nice place but needing some work. The screen doors would fall off when operating. It was a little short on amenities but that was rectified immediately.
Would highly recommended the stay and all of the people that hosted us were wonderful
We had the best time at Med Point, very relaxing and much needed after the stress of a wedding! The house and beaches were absolutely beautiful. Sonia was easily accessible if needed. There was an issue with the key prior to our arrival, so we had the leave the house unlocked at all times when we were away which made us a bit neevous, but is was all fine. A few things I would suggest- having some sort of welcome book or guide available- for example we didnât know where to take the trash out too. And thereâs was only one beach chair. At least one more chair, and the house definitely needs a beach umbrella for guest use. Also perhaps a small cooler to bring cold drinks to the water and lastly an outdoor shower head to rinse off after the ocean. Other than that, this place is amazing. Very remote, and I would say a 4x4 car is required- the road in and out is prettt hairy in a couple of places!
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.
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!
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!
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 didnât 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 thatâs 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.
This was our second stay at Med Point and we loved every minute! The caretaker, property manager, and owner are super responsive. Everything at the property was perfect. The beaches adjacent to the home are beautiful. We canât wait to book our next trip.
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.
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. Itâs 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. Itâs 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 Governorâs 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 youâre gentle, but having an SUV is a much better idea.
A few comments about shopping. There are two small grocery stores in Governorâs 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 Governorâs 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 âtoo rough to go out,â or âhe went out late and wonât be back until five,â etc. We gave up and bought some frozen tuna.
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.
Med Point is absolutely the best! Causarina Beach where Med Point is located, is the prettiest beach on Eleuthera with it's golden sand, palms, & amazing water color. It is dreamy! I cannot say enough about this superb location. You also have French Leave Beach, a pink sand beach, right out your door within a few steps in the opposite direction. This beach goes on for days and is absolutely beautiful. Within 2 minutes you also have Twin Coves, 2 stunning beaches with terrific snorkeling. Old Banks Rd. is so special and just gives off a cast away vibe that sets the tone for your vacation! More fantastic beaches to explore past Twin Coves also. It is hard to not go explore Eleuthera, but you really have the most special beaches right at Med Point. Tippy's, Da Perk, French Leave Resort, Buccaneer Club, Bacchus, are all so close for dining. La Bougainvillea in N. Palmetto Pt. is not too be missed for a special dining experience! Gas, groceries, banking is 2 minutes away in Governors Harbour. Perfect Location to everything! One of my favorite things was just driving Old Banks Rd passing French Leave, viewing the beach from the road as you approach Med Point. Alfred House is the larger main house and is completely separate from Med Point, with total privacy for all. Can I just say what a magical wedding location this estate would be! Med Point is so perfectly decorated, and filled with beachy details. White washed wood floors, ship lap walls, wrap around windows with views for days, comfy huge sofas, perfect kitchen with all you need, huge bedroom offering more than enough room, comfy king bed, just great all white & blue decor that gets you in the island vibe. The living/dining space is quite large with plenty of room. I would not change a thing. The bathroom is terrific w/ views of Causarina Beach from the shower!! It was great to have the washing machine, I loved hanging my clothes on the clothesline, beachfront under the palms. Wrap around decks, one view of the Atlantic & the little island out front, and another view of Causarina Beach. I loved how all previous guests added to the collection of beach finds along the deck wall. This location is awesome for great beach finds, seaglass, coral, shelling. Management is terrific, along with Christine who can provide home cooked meals, and her famous pineapple cake! I would never stay anywhere else. Stayed 10 days in June and I just booked another week for early winter!
My husband and I stayed at the house for our honeymoon in April 2017. The island, beaches, and community far exceeded our expectations. The beaches on both sides of the home were nearly deserted, and absolutely beautiful. We only encountered 1 or 2 couples on the french leave beach south of the house each day, and no one sat anywhere near us. The beauty of the beach can't be described! The only improvement I can offer on that part of the experience is - bring bug spray!!!
Overall, the condition of the house met our expectations based on online pictures. The sheets, towels, and curtains had some staining, but just normal "wear and tear" on a rental property. Probably close to needing replacement. Everything was clean. The sliding doors were difficult to open and close, we ended up just using the front door the whole stay. The TV / DVD player and Wifi from the phone were all easy to operate and worked well. The Wifi was surprisingly fast. Overall, we would definitely rent here again.
The homeowner and property manager could not have been better. They emailed us to make sure we got into the house OK, and asked if there were any issues they could assist with. We asked about fan control and noted a step in poor condition, and they replied immediately back. They also followed up after our trip as well. VERY WELL managed property.
I do not recommend buying the offered meal from the caretaker. The food was decent, but we felt we were charged a lot, especially considering what we paid for other local meals. We had 5 chicken thighs, rice, coleslaw, and two pieces of cake, for $80. We got take away from Pammy's in town later that week, for $18, and had a much better meal.
This was our 2nd stay at Med Point and we definitely enjoyed our stay everybit as much as the first time. The house is very well appointed with beachy furniture and the views out the patio doors are perfect for sunrises. The location is absolutely fabulous being right on the point with 2 great beaches being just steps away. From Med Point it is an easy walk into town for groceries and great coffee at De Perk. The caretakers Christine and David were very helpful and Tara and Kirsten from Eleuthera Vacation Rentals handled our reservation very efficiently
