Christopher Columbus vs Discovery Point Club: Which Seven Mile Beach Condo?
Two quiet beachfront condo complexes sit almost next door at the far-north end of Seven Mile Beach. They look alike in the listings, but the unit sizes, pools and on-site facilities differ. Here is how they compare, straight from each complex's own site.
The short answer
- Both are beachfront, self-catering condo complexes on the quiet far-north (West Bay) end of Seven Mile Beach, with full kitchens, free WiFi, and no on-site restaurant.
- Pick Christopher Columbus for an intimate 30-unit complex with larger options: two- and three-bedroom units including penthouses, a freshwater pool plus a zero-entry kids' pool, two lighted tennis courts and pickleball, and thatched beach cabanas on the sand. Good for families or a larger group on a quiet beach.
- Pick Discovery Point Club for the heated whirlpool and uniform, predictable units: all two-bedroom/two-bath (sleep 6) with on-site management, plus a saltwater pool, a freshwater pool, and two championship tennis courts with pickleball.
- They sit almost side by side (2013 and 2043 West Bay Road), so the call comes down to unit size and beach cabanas versus pools and tennis.

Location and beach
These two are neighbours on the quiet far-north (West Bay) end of Seven Mile Beach, the widest and least crowded stretch of sand. Christopher Columbus is at 2013 West Bay Road and Discovery Point Club at 2043 West Bay Road, so they sit almost side by side. Both trade proximity to George Town and the cruise-side restaurants for calmer water and more room on the beach, which suits travellers who want quiet over a walkable scene. If walking to restaurants and bars matters more, the central stretch around the Ritz-Carlton and Westin is a better fit; see the full Seven Mile Beach condos comparison.
Units and who each suits
Christopher Columbus is an intimate 30-unit complex. Its own site groups units as garden-view, oceanfront, and four ocean-view penthouses, and it rents two- and three-bedroom layouts, so it works for a larger family or two couples who want a single bigger unit on a quiet beach.
Discovery Point Club keeps it uniform: every unit is a two-bedroom, two-bath condo that sleeps 6, each with a full kitchen and an in-condo washer and dryer. That consistency makes it a clean pick for couples and small families, and it adds free parking and on-site management.
Pools, tennis and amenities
Discovery Point Club has the edge on water and racquet facilities: a beachfront saltwater pool and heated whirlpool spa, a separate freshwater pool, and two championship tennis courts with pickleball. Christopher Columbus lists a single freshwater pool and, as its beach touch, thatched beach cabanas on the sand. Neither lists an on-site gym or restaurant, and both are fully self-catering.
Which to pick
- Larger family or group needing one unit: Christopher Columbus (three-bedroom units and penthouses).
- Couples or a small family: either, with Discovery Point's uniform two-bedroom layout the simplest choice.
- Tennis, pickleball, and more pool options: Discovery Point Club.
- Thatched beach cabanas and an intimate, smaller complex: Christopher Columbus.
- The quietest possible stretch of Seven Mile Beach: both, since they sit side by side at the far-north end.
Common questions
Christopher Columbus or Discovery Point Club for a larger family or group?
Christopher Columbus, if you need three bedrooms. Its 30 units include two- and three-bedroom layouts and penthouses, so a larger group can fit in one unit. Every Discovery Point Club unit is a two-bedroom, two-bath that sleeps 6, which suits couples and small families.
Which has better pools and tennis?
Both have tennis and pickleball. Christopher Columbus has a large freshwater pool plus a zero-entry children's pool, two lighted tennis courts and pickleball, and thatched beach cabanas. Discovery Point Club has a beachfront saltwater pool, a heated whirlpool and a freshwater pool, and two championship tennis courts with pickleball. The main difference: Discovery Point adds the heated whirlpool, while Christopher Columbus adds a dedicated kids' pool and beach cabanas.
Do either have an on-site restaurant?
No. Both are self-catering condo complexes with full kitchens, and neither lists an on-site restaurant. Dining is off-site along West Bay Road.
Are they on a quiet part of Seven Mile Beach?
Yes. Both sit on the quiet far-north (West Bay) end of Seven Mile Beach, almost next door to each other: Christopher Columbus at 2013 West Bay Road and Discovery Point Club at 2043 West Bay Road. It is the widest, least crowded stretch of sand, a longer drive from George Town.
