Availability DetailsProperty Description
Salty Dolphin House (formerly Richview) is a newly remodeled, 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 $300 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, 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.
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 newly constructed 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 The Buccaneer Club, DaPerk, and Bacchus Fine Foods. The town of Governor’s Harbour, the main town, less than a mile away, has grocery stores, restaurants, a coffee shop, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic.

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.

A guest from Denver, Colorado United States recommends this vacation rental.
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 : )

Samantha G. from Putnam Valley, NY United States recommends this vacation rental.
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

Melissa G. from Chester, Maryland United States recommends this vacation rental.
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.

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!

Jorge M. from Gainesville, FL United States recommends this vacation rental.
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.

Alex S. from Santa Ana, CA US recommends this vacation rental.
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!
