About this property

Welcome to the French Leave South Beach!!

This newly constructed villa is located directly on the most sought-after beach on the island, a mile-long stretch of pink sand that has been ranked in the top 20 beaches of the world. French Leave Beach has only half a dozen houses on it and is usually deserted.

The "Dogtrot" villa features spectacular sea views from every room. The great room looks out at the ocean through a wall of windows. The sea view kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances and African mahogany counter tops.
The Dogtrot has two master suites, each furnished with a king bed and equipped with a full en-suite bath appointed in African mahogany. Both bedrooms have ocean views. The bathrooms feature full showers and Rohl fixtures throughout. There is a rollaway bed available for a 5th guest if needed.

Beyond the private doors made of African mahogany is the outdoor living space offering 180% views of French Leave Beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Amenities include vaulted tray ceilings, ceiling fans, air conditioning, Super-fast Starlink WIFI internet, flat screen satellite TV, washer/dryer, and a backup generator, grill, beach chairs, cooler & umbrella. Watch your favorite live sports, shows, and movies in high definition on owner-provided Hulu+, your own TV streaming app, or stream from your home service on a new 48” smart LG OLED TV!

The settlement of Governor’s Harbour is half a mile away, where you’ll find restaurants, grocery & liquor stores, the Haynes Public Library (1897), antique churches, gift shops, coffee & sandwich shops and the Levy Health Clinic.

Come and enjoy French Leave South Beach…the other Bahamas!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Dogtrot is a beautiful villa in a great location on beautiful French Leave beach. It is very close to Governors Harbor for supplies and dining.There are also several restaurants and bars within a few miles.The villa has a great layout. A very nice kitchen with good supplies, comfortable living and dining space and two private suites with full bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable. It’s nicely furnished throughout.The home is clean and in good shape, but it is not new. There are a few things that need a little TLC. The automatic generator is a great feature given the frequent power outages on the island. But it did not always turn on. Barbecue grill is not great. Gutter and downspout were disconnected from the house. Just a few things that did not match the caliber of the nice property. Michelle the property manager was very responsive and a great person to deal with. Problems with the generator were handled quickly. We loved our stay and hopefully will return in the near future.

Our vacation at French Leave Villa was perfect.

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: It was our first trip to Eluethera and we were very pleased. We live in a couple of tourist hot spots so I found the perfect place for beauty and peace. Sunrise was amazing, water warm and clear, the perfect beach for walking and the accommodation was so comfortable and filled with amenities, whether in the kitchen, the beds, books, TV, generator, and all the beach gear. Very thoughtful hosts trying to provide for your comfort and relaxation. Pam was our host with Eluethera vacations and responded quickly to all questions and provided you with all the information you could need about the island. Their island host, Michelle, was lovely and very helpful and responsive. We talked with a few people that had stayed other places but came here because of the generator and internet service. They had poor experiences elsewhere. We had no power outage while we were there but neighbors said ours came on when theirs did not during an earlier outage. For us, I could not have picked a better place to stay and it is great to have Eluethera vacations as a host. Thank you!

Dogtrot Review

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: Our stay at Dogtrot was great. The house is in wonderful condition and a great location. The beach access is perfect. The only criticism of our stay was the attach by no seeums every evening. Not sure what can be done or if those bugs are always there or just happened to be there for our stay! Thanks to Michele and Sidera for helping with things. They were great.

Great location and home

We have rented many properties on banks road and Governors Harbor. The French Leave villa is one of our favorites. Home is modern, clean and very comfortable. All appliances are functional and modern. Bedding and pillows are excellent. The location is superb with a great back porch looking out on the beach. French leave beach is outstanding. Stingrays frequent the beach here as do turtles. Swimming is excellent as well. House contact was very responsive to any needs or questions.

Paradise in the Bahamas

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: This has been our second trip to the spectacular Bahamas Islands and our first visit to the beautiful and secluded island of Eleuthera. We loved staying in the Dogtrot Villa. This house is perfectly appointed with a modern style, clean. It is situated on one of the most amazing beaches on the island. The villa with dual master king bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms is thoroughly equipped with everything you may need for your stay, towels, linens, pillows, kitchen ware, air conditioning, beach chairs and umbrella and much more. It faces the peaceful and pristine French Leave beach with its clear blue water and light pink soft sand - it is really a dream. Sunrises and sunsets were spectacular from the villa front porch. We will definitely treasure our vacation there which will remain among our most beautiful memories with the hope to come back in future.

Absolutely perfect

This is our second trip to the beautiful secluded island of Eleuthera and this is our favorite place to stay. We loved staying directly on the beach. This Villa is even prettier than the pictures. Modern, clean, and situated on the most amazing beach on the island. The vegetation and plants have grown in perfectly and there is a sandy path leading right to the beach. Peaceful wide open pristine beach with clear blue water and light pink soft sand - it is truly a dream. The Villa is equipped with everything from beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, and lots of towels. The dual master king bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms were perfect for our family of 4. Kitchen has all you need for when we had breakfast or dined in. Melissa answers all your questions promptly and quickly. The Villa is close to fabulous places to eat such as Bacchus, Tippy’s and the Buccaneer. Any issues or recommendations you need - Melissa so knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely be back to Eleuthera and back at this Villa! Thank you for the incredible memories.

Great House & Water!

The house was great and so well appointed. The beds were nice and firm. The linens and towels very nice. Loved the hand towels… actually googled where to purchase. One bedroom door didn’t close quite right but we found an easy solution. The water was great. We were there the last week of October and loved playing in the waves. They were fun without being too much or wearing you out. Our only reco would be to add option to have beaches cleaned of seaweed when it’s excessive… at least right in front of the property. Most days were fine, but our last two days there was really nowhere to put a chair that wasn’t covered with clumped up seaweed and some unsanitary trash it brought in with it. I would have even paid someone had I known who to call! Overall, we’re likely to return. Reco: rent a 4WD. The roads aren’t great and some beach access in other parts of island are challenging in a little car.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The AC unit in the room to the right as you walk in was not workingThere were 5-6 dead bugs throughout the home when we arrivedSome notable spots on the walls and doors that could easily be cleanedThe 4 foldable beach chairs need to be replaced because the straps are broken and the hinges are extremely rustyThe back door handle does not work so if you close the back door while on the porch you have to walk around the house to get back in
