Jolly Mon review

My husband and I recently returned from a 6 night stay at this beautiful property in Eleuthera, Bahamas...."Jolly Mon" was perfect in every way. It's a brand new, beautifully decorated (island style) villa, that sits on a bluff above a secluded beach on the Atlantic ocean, at North Palmetto Point. The house has windows everywhere, allowing for dramatic ocean views in every single room...The house was immaculate...it has a modern, island kitchen, with stainless fixtures, luxurious and comfortable king-size bedding, and spacious master bath, with double dual showers, including rain shower. We loved the covered veranda that runs across the back of the house; perfect for ocean gazing...there is also a hammock stretched between 2 palm trees, and a wonderful deck that is accessible via stairs, going down to the beach...And the beach, is incredible...it felt completely private...there are 3 or 4 houses that can access this beach, but we saw no one, only stairs leading up to their property...even the houses were barely visible because of all the vegetation.

The owners thought of everything...one of the nicest things we appreciated was a book they compiled describing things to do in the area, or on the island, and restaurant options, complete with their personal review, and phone #'s...we valued this information and followed there advice, and had wonderful meals throughout our stay.

The only thing we would do differently is fly into Govenor's Harbour airport, rather than ELH, since this is much closer to the property. We took a day trip to Harbour Island as well, but next time we will skip this and stay at Jolly Mon...where the beach is just as lovely, and you have it all to yourself! Thanks for an unforgettable vacation!

This home and property is incredible! Attention to every detail in this new custom home. Decorated beautifully-very Tommy Bahamas feel. Lots of very comfortable seating and great beds. Perfect ocean view from every room. Great stainless appliances, granite counters, front load washer and dryer. Plenty of ceiling fans, air in master and lower studio. Awesome sound system throughout entire house and veranda. Landscape is pristine, down to the perfect palms with hammock! Beach is right there and we never saw another person. Great little reef just east of home where we saw all kinds of sea creatures. Plenty of other beaches close by if you want to explore. The night sky is absolutely full of stars! Local restaurants are incredible, especially Tippys! Eleuthera is a great place to visit, locals very friendly. This property is top notch, we can’t wait to go back!

Perfect getaway!

Jolly Mon is the perfect getaway and a beautiful home. Villa was convenient to restaurants, stores and Govenor's Harbour for fresh fish. The private beach is the best: pink sand, shallow water, no rocks and very walkable. We explored and found "treasures" every morning. The many windows in the house make the view fantastic from every room and I love the decor. We had plenty of room and felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Upstairs loft will be a treat when finished in 2012. We will be back again.

Beautiful home and beautiful views!

Had a wonderful vacation on Eleuthera, staying in N. Palmetto Point. Jolly Mon is both secluded and peaceful but convenient to Governour's Harbour and many pink sand beaches. The house has every amenity with windows galore. Make sure you take advantage of the ocean breeze. The best beach is by far the beach right in front of Jolly Mon! Pink sand, shallow water, (no rocks) and very walkable. Easy walk down new steps to the beach and a fantastic sunrise. We only saw a few people each day and some days we saw only the neighbor's friendly dog! The third floor, though not quite finished, will be a great addition. Can't wait to return when everything is finished!

A perfect private family vacation!!!

**The house and beach:

We spend 10 days over Christmas at the Jolly Mon Villa and we loved it. The house was beautiful furnitured, everything matched. We felt at home from the first second we entered the house. The kitchen is fully equipped and we loved cooking there. The beach was absolutely stunning. We saw barely more than 3-4 other people every day so it was the perfect location for a private holiday.

**Grocery and fish:

Groceries are expensive because it's imported (except fish and seafood from the docks). During the Christmas season it wasn't easy to get fresh seafood. Finally we found some fresh fish at Tarpum Bay (30min drive) at the docks around 1 o clock.

Jane was so nice, she answered every question we had and answered very fast. She is a really good host. Thank you!!! We had a perfect family vacation!!!
