Overview & Photos
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.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Med Point Cottage in Governor's Harbour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. This charming retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation and productivity, making it an ideal getaway for anyone looking to recharge while staying connected.
The internet service at the cottage was exceptional, enabling me to work and attend all the meetings on line was seamlessly. It’s rare to find such reliable connectivity in a remote paradise, but Med Poin

Very Spacious 1 bedroom house with King Bed, rest on the water’s edge just off of French Leave Beach (One of the top ranked beaches of Eleuthera). The private deck makes for an incredible morning to walk out and enjoy the view with a cup of coffee or secluded sun bathing during the day. We loved it! The property is very secluded and a little challenging to get to, but that is what helps give this place its privacy. It’s less than a 5 min drive or 30 min walk to Gov. Harbor, local coffee shops

Midpoint is totally awesome. A secluded little villa with Total privacy as it is very much off the beaten path. The villa was very comfortable, updated, and the beach and views are spectacular. Having said that, please know that there are basically zero provisions in the house. Do not assume the very, very basics like salt, pepper, sugar, bug spray, soaps, shampoos, etc. The television only works with streaming. We were unable to get any regular television but the Internet was very reliable.

Had complete privacy from this romantic oceanfront stunning home, except a few walkers in front of home but they were always respectful. this homes is set between two amazing beaches Casuarina Beach and French Leave Beach with the incredible pink sand and crystal clear water. Twin coves beach was 5 min ride from house and quite stunning as well. Our drawback was as soon as sun was setting and we would be on deck watch turtles right in front of home we were bit up pretty bad. We purchased 4 mosquito candles and mosquito repellent coils used deep woods off / wipes / oils but nothing seemed to keep them at bay. An umbrella for back deck as well as for beach would be a wonderful addition as it is hard to find shade in the hot sun. The bed was a bit too firm for us, adding a soft thicker mattress topper would be ideal. We did lose electricity more frequently than in any other home we have rented on island but it never stayed off more than two hours. Caretaker was very responsive to any questions we had. We absolutely loved this home because of its location and privacy and will definitely rent again.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! A couple of points: Mosquitoes are not normally a problem on the island . If anything, we complain about noseeums. But this May, when you were here, was a bad month for moquitoes. It won't normally be like that. Regarding power outages: These are island-wide and not specific to any house. They have become more frequent over the last two years. Many of the outages are planned due to work the power company is doing to improve the lines. Hopefully the outages will become less frequent when this work is done, but we don't know if that will be the case or not.

We arrived at the beach house and were stunned at the beautiful views. The beach house was tastefully decorated. There is a clothes washer which came in quite handy. It is an absolute must that you rent a high ground clearance vehicle - does not need to be 4WD, but it should have decent ground clearance to ensure your ability to travel the road to beach house (we rented a Jeep Liberty AWD). Most places take credit cards although there is typically a credit card fee. We ate frequently at The Buccaneer C

Lovely place with beautiful views of the ocean. Off the beaten path which is part of what makes it special-you need an SUV to get to the cottage. We love to cook and brought spices and oil which was helpful. Great walking beaches and had a few days with low winds and did some snorkeling off the beach which was great.
Awesome location!

This house could not be in a better location, you are right at the north end of French Leave Beach have incredible ocean views! The house is clean and comfortable with plenty of space for a couple. We had an excellent stay and found the property management company was very responsive to all questions and requests. We love to cook, and it would’ve been nice for the kitchen to have a bit more in the way of utensils and supplies and a dishwasher but we were certainly able to manage. We would definitely

Medpoint Cottage is in a fabulous location. It was easy to find. The courage itself was in a bit of a tired condition. The sliding glass door in the bedroom did not lock. The beaches next to the cottage are some of the best on the island.
- Manager Response:
We are glad you enjoyed the location of Med Point. We wish you had raised any issues while you were there, so they could have been addressed. The door just needed lubrication. This happens from time to time because it is so close to the sea. It has been fixed.

Med Point was an absolute dream! Gorgeous views from every window, two of the prettiest and most private beaches on either side of you. You are also within walking distance to Twin Coves which is beautiful. The cottage was very coastal, bright and secluded! It had the necessities needed to make meals during our week stay. Sherri the caretaker went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during our stay and answered any questions I had about the area. We really did not want to leave and hope to be back to Med Point on our next visit!

Gary Gardner recommends this vacation rental.
The Med Point Beach House is an amazing location straddling two beautiful beaches. It is perfect for those looking for a quiet escape. There is only one house close by and it was empty during our stay. We only encountered a few people during our daily walk of the beaches. The dirt road to the house is bumpy and best done with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. There is a large deck overlooking the beach, coral garden and a small island. The house is clean, well stylized with comfortable furniture, and fairly well equipped. It could benefit from better kitchen utensils. Albeit at little slow (as expected as there are no land lines), internet service was reliable.

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. its 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. Its 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 Governors 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 youre gentle, but having an SUV is a much better idea. A few comments about shopping. There are two small grocery stores in Governors 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

Emily Hansen recommends this vacation rental.
We had a wonderful time at Med Point. It was the perfect getaway we needed. The big house next to the cottage was empty so it was very private. The Med Point cottage was very clean and spacious. It had everything we needed. We loved being right on the water and being able to walk the beautiful beaches everyday. Snorkeling right from the house was amazing! We will definitely be coming back!
Tips: If you fly in on a Sunday grocery stores close by 3pm so bring what you need for the first day.
