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 $300 per week.)
WE HAVE JUST DISCOUNTED THE RATES BY 20% FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, 2024!

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, newly renovated 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.

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.

Cameron B. from Simpsonville, SC United States recommends this vacation rental.
The house was spacious and very well equipped. It was very clean and in a nice quiet area right across from the beach. Easy trail to walk to the beautiful white sand beach. Carol was awesome! We lost power and the generator kicked right on. After a short time the generator went off, messaged Carol and she was at the house and had the generator going within 10 minutes. We would definitely stay here again! If there is anything negative, it would be that the WiFi didn't seem to work, but it could have been due to Hurricane Milton and the high winds we experienced during our stay.

Idyllic location steps from an amazing beach for swim, SUP, kayak! House interior good but exterior tired; deck floorboards would benefit from refinishing. Glimpses of ocean from front of house; rear looks onto a marsh. Issue with hot water resulted in cold showers. Advertised paddle boards unusable(leaked, missing key parts)which had been key attraction. Nice beach chairs and kitchen well equipped. Carol is terrific!
Manager Responded on 5/20/2023
We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Parts are on order to fix the hot water issue, and two new paddle boards are being shipped : )

TIMOTHY D. from Not provided by MarriottHV, UT XX recommends this vacation rental.
The house was located 100 ft from a perfect beach. Easy drive to groceries, drinks and a few places to eat if you are not cooking in. The kitchen area was huge. Bedrooms and bathrooms were really nice. Everything was really clean! I loved every minute. For me, the roofdeck at sunset was a great place to end the day.

Thomas E. from Atlanta, Georgia United States recommends this vacation rental.
I have been to the island a handful of times and have to say, in terms of location, you cannot beat Salty Dolphin. I want to give a massive shoutout to Daniel, who handles maintenance. He helped us handle the generator as the power was out island-wide for most of our stay. He also made multiple trips to the house with refills for the water dispenser. The dispenser had a slow leak, so for him to make multiple trips at night was truly appreciated. The generator was a lifesaver, and you can tell the owners have ensured they got the right generator to power this massive house for hours on end. We talked with many other visitors throughout the week who were not as lucky, so I highly encourage you to consider this, as it will be a must-have deal breaker in our future visits to the island. The house was huge and would be great for large families or groups. We only had four in our group, which made it nice to spread out to different parts of the house. The house itself could use a few updates, but all in all had more than enough luxuries to make a pleasant stay. The SUPs are brand new and were a highlight for us each day at the beach. The pics do not do this house justice, as the beach is a 20-second walk across the street and was even easier to access than when had expected. The pool was great for early morning and evening dips before and after the beach. I had seen many people complain about bad "no see ums," but I never noticed them at all, and we spent a lot of time on the decks. Salty Dolphin should be on your shortlist for rental selections.

This was our second stay at Salty Dolphin (the first time under previous owners) and we absolutely loved it! The house is only a few steps from the most beautiful beach on the island. The house is beautiful inside and out. Love the remodel. Carol the housekeeper is so friendly and helpful. The home has all the amenities we needed, kitchen well stocked, plenty of seating, beds, bathrooms and kept very clean. We'll be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Salty Dolphin! The house is very spacious and the layout provides a lot of privacy. The house is extremely well-appointed with everything one needs for beaching, relaxing, and cooking. We made a number of meals and had everything we needed. The pool was a wonderful option, and the many decks made for great stargazing! Carol the caretaker was very responsive. Finally, the location across from French Leave beach and in the heart of GHB was totally perfect. We loved the house and would happily return!

We had a great week @ Salty Dolphin. The beach is right across the street (barely any cars) and the calmest area around. If you go even 10 houses down more towards Tippys, it gets a bit rougher and we loved how calm it was for our kids at “our” beach. The pool is great and deck space is amazing. Loved reading and taking a nap on the deck. The house was immaculate when we arrived and the furnishings, linens, etc are in perfect condition. Carol, Sabrina and Dan were very helpful and friendly during our stay. Stay here and you won’t be disappointed!

Heather M. from Vestal, NY United States recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed at the Salty Dolphin July 23-30, 2022. It was an amazing experience. Plenty of room to spread out or party of 6 people. We had 8 friends that stayed south of us 2 houses away, so when we did meals together, we had plenty of room to cook and eat. The pool was refreshing and had chairs and an umbrella to have some shade. There were plenty of towels for showers and for the beach. There were soaps, trial size shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom. There was a basket of various sunscreen bottles at the wet bar area. We really didn’t need to bring anything except clothes. There was even laundry detergent and dishwasher and dish soap. The house had a cistern and filtered water to drink. They also had city water for the toilets and pool fill up when the pool company maintained the pool. Carol and Daniel the house caretakers were amazing and helpful. He had a lack of water one day and Daniel came to fix the situation. The cistern had gone low and he regenerated the system. The power went out a couple f times and there was a generator that automatically kicked on. This is an island so these things happen sometimes. The internet also went in and out. But between Carol and Daniel, they got a new WiFi box and the situation was taken care of so that our son could work on his college online course. The beach access was directly across the street. Or we could walk 2 houses down to the public access road. Beautiful and easy to get to. The road traffic was light so walking to our friends rental property, we did not worry about the kids (aged 12-21) walking back and forth. Not a lot of noise, so we were able to hear cars before we could see them. Very safe location. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Using the “What’s App” was a great way to get in touch with Carol and Daniel. There were paddle boards that were available and we all enjoyed trying them. There was a big cooler and also a small soft cooler. Those were helpful when

A guest from Georgetown, SC United States recommends this vacation rental.
Our stay in Eleuthera was wonderful, and our group of 3 couples were pleased with our choice of the Salty Dolphin. The villa had a very nice lower level layout that was large and open which made gathering around for meals and conversations really nice. The villa was well equipped with nearly anything you might need - extra beach coolers, multiple beach umbrellas (needed!), good quality beach chairs, full A/C, lots of extra towels/linens, and more.
What could use some attention? (1) The water pressure was extremely weak at all times and you could never get it warm - only hot or cold. (2) We lost power for almost a full day, and then the generator did not work. It was fixed about the same time the power came back on, but, again, it would have been nice not to lose about 20+ hours of power (and water). Stuff happens, right? (3) The deck areas could use some shade as they were extremely hot when the sun was up. (4) Internet service was very spotty and weak most of the time. I did a speed test one time and got 2Mbps down / .5 up. This wasn’t always the case, but it was also very frequent. And, if staying in one of the bedrooms upstairs, the speed was even worse (did not see a repeater of any kind that might have helped).
Would we stay there again? Absolutely - no question. The house is clean and well equipped, nice staff (Carol, Daniel) who were professional, warm, and friendly, great location to a great beach just 50 yds across the street, in a safe area, and convenient to Governor’s Harbour for groceries/restaurants.
Manager Responded on 6/16/2022
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Salty Dolphin. We’re very sorry about the generator failure. Yes, stuff does happen. It has been repaired and is working now. Most houses on the island don’t have one at all, but we felt it was an important amenity on an island where power failures are common, although usually brief. It is true that internet speeds on the island are much slower than we are all used to in the U.S. We actually have two completely separate sources of internet. It sounds like our staff did not properly explain that. We have both DSL from the landline phone company and a portable router from the mobile phone provider that works on the cell phone signal. The latter router can be placed anywhere in the house and simply plugged into the a wall outlet. So there is never a need to be far away from a router. This is better than a repeater because it also provides redundancy in case one system is down or slow. The water pressure on the island (from the municipal water company) does vary quite a bit. This is one of the challenges we live with. Getting the right water temperature takes a little patience/practice, but it certainly can be done. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

The house is beautiful. We had a party of 6, 3 couples, and it was perfect. The kitchen is very well stocked, and what they didn’t have, didn’t matter much, we made it work. We cooked every morning and maybe two dinners. The location is great, right in the center of the island and on a great beach. I highly recommend the property. Sabrina, the housekeeper and the maintenance person were all very responsive. There was no time when we were confused about anything. Sabrina provided a very detailed list of everything we needed to know about the island.

Our party of 8 (6 adults, 2 children) had an outstanding stay at Richview. The house is on a "main" road less then a mile for Governor's Harbour and steps from a beautiful beach. House was very clean and inviting with a small pool for relaxing around. Island people were very friendly and helpful answering our questions. But beware food, restaurants, gas, etc are all very expensive so plan accordingly.

Please note that this "main road" is extremely quiet (and in fact, not the main road). Maybe one car goes by every few minutes.

Just returned from a month at Richview. It's ideally located close to Gov Harbour and on the island's best beach. We explored Eleuthera top to bottom and can honestly say that we wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. French Leave beach is stunning! Matt went above and beyond providing tips and info on things to see and do. The house is very well appointed and comfortable. Bachus fine foods and Tippy's are both walking distance. Fantastic spot on a fantastic island!

William G J. from Atlanta, GA US recommends this vacation rental.
Great property located right next to French Leave Beach that easily accommodated our group of 10. Property was clean and the layout of the house allowed for some privacy during the week-long stay. Pool was fantastic and all of the porch space allowed for great views of the beach and meals outside. Beach and property are more impressive and beautiful in real life! Proximity to Governor's Harbour, beaches, Tippy's and other restaurants/supermarkets made it an ideal location.
Only downside was that the honeymoon suite's AC unit didn't work for the first 4 days so that area was warm. Anne (caretaker) and her group gave us a fan for 2 days and sourced the difficult to find part to fix the AC for the remainder of the stay. Other than the AC issue Richview was the perfect vacation residence.
Giving a 4+ star rating instead of a 5 due to the AC issue, but this property is fantastic! I look forward to my next vacation at Richview!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Richview, now called Salty Dolphin. It’s in an ideal location and the pool, many deck areas and fully equipped kitchen were a great addition. The only thing I would suggest is to add something to the upstairs bedrooms to store clothes. There was nothing other than the closets so we had to use our suitcases. Even a small dresser with a few drawers would help. Anne Bethel and Daniel were awesome and great additions to our week.

Fantastic property - directly across the street from French Leave Beach. The house comes equipped with everything you need; beach chairs/umbrellas, beach towels, two paddle boards, etc. The two kitchens (up and down) are fully equipped right down to the coffee grinder. The house is clean, well maintained and has recently been renovated. The house is exactly as pictured. Anne and Daniel will take great care of you while on Eleuthera and Simon provides impeccable booking services. Also make sure to visit Anne's farm on the highway just north of Palmetto. Daniel can help you with fresh fish and lobster. A perfect stay and we will be back!
