We Took a Chance...and are changed forever!
My brother-in-law via a charity event in the U.S. won a week at the Cove House. He promptly called his other brother & his wife and my wife & I and off we went Dec. 2-9, 2012. Between the six of us we had been on many vacations, cruises, and glamorous gatherings...this would not be such an occasion. Before you start thinking, "Oh my God, what kind of place is the Cove House", read on...The Cove House is the hub of daily life in the tiny Gregory Town community. The views from the House to the Caribbean are beautiful as are the beaches. The property is well maintained and fits the environment just right! Do not expect luxury anywhere in the immediate area although there are some "high end" locations to visit while there...just a boat ride across the water to Harbor Island as example. Locally, you can enjoy all the water sports and beach life you care to take in. There are local restaurants for dining but the best conch and grouper burgers were at the little gift shop/restaurant across from the airport...great local beer prices next door too! I'm saving the best for last...the local residents and small children were so incredibly friendly and helpful. All you need to do is step out and greet them, they will handle the rest. My wife and I have never had the kind of "vacation" experience that we enjoyed in Gregory Town. To say it was an emotional, if not spiritual, experience would be an understatement...what a joy to have been there! In closing, if you're looking for people to wait on you "hand and foot" and you're used to luxurious vacations, this is likely not for you. However, if you want to live locally and experience the friendliness of the community, eat fresh seafood everyday and see some of the prettiest sunsets ever...this is your place!!

PS- The Owner was a pleasure to work with.
PPS- If you need a rental car while there ask for Wallace...he's a local, very professional and you'll enjoy having met him.
