A perfect place to call "home" for 10 days!

My husband and I stayed at the Cove House for 10 amazing days in late March 2015. Donna and her daughter Amanda were wonderful hosts. We stayed in the lovely Captain's Quarters apartment. It was clean, had plenty of space for the two of us, was adequately stocked with all we needed for cooking, etc. and had the absolute BEST views of the water. We awoke each morning to the sounds of waves lapping and distant wandering roosters. We had breakfast and dinner on the front balcony overlooking the cove each day. It was an absolutely perfect place to stay and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Donna, Amanda, & Harry!

Eleuthra is a little slice of heaven!

I stayed in the Captain's Quarter's apartment at the Cove House in Gregory Town, Eleuthra for a little over two weeks. The apartment was set up perfectly for me. I had my own beautiful patio to drink coffee in the mornings, and start my day. I had a complete kitchen for cooking my meals, was able to sleep with the windows open and fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean. You cannot ask for a better experience that what I had here. This house is in the center of Gregory Town and you will be a part of all the activities going on down there. Across the street is the old school which is now being used as a temporary library where I would go and talk to children while they were doing their homework, you could walk to the island gift shop, grocery store(s), liquor store, fresh bakeries, all within 10 minutes. No better place to set up your life for the time you are there. The Bahamians that live there are so very warm and welcoming. I got fresh fish right off the dock from the local fisherman in front of the house for dinner. They will help you find whatever you are looking for and you can become a part of their close family while you are there. This is not the place for someone looking to be waited on hand and foot. If you want luxury or tourist type activities you can take a short trip to Harbor Island and experience this type of vacation. I recommend this location and the Cove House for anyone looking to relax, unwind, recharge and leave rejuvenated. The only problem I had staying at the Cove House in Gregory Town was I did not want to leave.

I Left My Heart in Eleuthera, Gregory Town

This was my first visit to Eleuthera, or the Bahamas for that matter and we couldn't have picked a better location. Acurately described as the place to unplug recharge, that is exactly what we did. The community of Gregory Town was so welcoming and and the entire atmosphere was one of Peace. We sang at Elvina's, we dined at the Rainbow Inn, but my best memories were spent with the family (6 altogether) preparing meals and laughing around the dinner table. We ate fresh fish and lobster pulled from the water that day, and dessert was Ms. Frances' pies. Food for the body, but more importantly food for the soul. I have to go back, I left my heart there!

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.
