    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, gas 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!

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful place on a spectacular beach. We stayed here for the second time last week. The beach is hands down perfect. The house is well set up with everything you need. It was a refreshing change to have salt and pepper, olive oil, nice knives, good pots and pans, nice dishes, and even nice insulated yeti mugs for coffee and drinks. The deck is amazing and there are towels and sarongs as well as coolers and beach chairs and umbrellas. We will be back.

Fantastic rental on Eleuthera

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: This is a great rental home and location in central Eleuthra . This is the second time we have rented this home after enjoying it so much the first time. The location is close to all restaurants. The home is new and well cared for by the owners and managers. The management is just top-notch with anything you need. And of course, the beach is a top five pink sand beach in the world that you have practically all to yourself. It is just incredible. We will return again for certain.

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.

Dogtrot Villa Getaway

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: The villa is perfectly located on the French Leave Beach which is definitely one of the top beaches on the island. The villa is perfect for two couples the front veranda is awesome for early morning coffee.....the island unfortunately experiences frequent power outages but Michelle (property manager) was very accommodating to ensure the generator was operating. The Sunset Inn is great for sunset dinners and the food is reasonably priced and good. The Buccaneer restaurant is another must place to dine, food is very good. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating during our trip .....Eleuthera is a secret amongst vacation getaways!

Magnificent House

Well, not sure where to start, but I'll try. This house is amazing as well equipped as you will ever find a beach house, they thought of everything. It was so great I'm afraid any future rentals will pale in comparison to Dogtrot. The beach is spectacular, very few people on the beach all week, maybe a few here and there. If you rent this house, be sure to go to the house first and check it out as it will help minimize your grocery purchase. Centrally located in Governors Harbor and close to everything. When we return to Eleuthera, we will not look anywhere else, we can't we were so spoiled there. The management team of Michele and her daughter Yasmine were outstanding so responsive and will help with anything you need, a quick text or call and that's it. Don't hesitate to rent this house, you won't be disappointed, I guarantee.

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!

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.

Dogtrot is the BEST! I can't think of a single thing that it was lacking. Communication was great with everyone involved with this rental. It was perfect and close to town. It is turn-key as a rental. It has everything. Do not let the construction next door, hold you back from renting this home. They were great!! Loved this property!! We also love Eleuthera-the people are what make it the BEST!
