About this house rental

Cove House, located on the picturesque Pittman's Cove of Gregory Town is a completely renovated 70 year old colonial Bahamian home with great stone pillars sparkling white against the back drop of Sea and Sun. It's location on the leeward "sea side" of the Island makes for less wind and warmer living.
There are 2 vacation properties within Cove House. The listing you are viewing right now is the second story property known as The Captain's Quarters. The property on the ground floor (also 3 bedroom) is our Compass Cottage and that one is listed in VRBO has # 2071859. Please have a look there as well.
The Captain's Quarters is complimented by a private ocean front balcony complete with comfortable outdoor furniture, rockers, and a couch. The balcony overlooks Gregory Town's famous Cove and is literally the best view in Gregory Town!
The Captain's Quarters at Cove House features a unique Island decor for clean and comfortable Island living. The Ocean front master bedroom features a queen size bed and both the second and third bedrooms each have two twin beds. The kitchen is a "foody's" kitchen and over-complete for vacation purposes but you will be able to find anything needed to prepare delicious meals. The entire property is now completely air conditioned with brand new HVAC units. Cove House is located close to everything the Island offers. Long lovely secluded beaches for shelling or just relaxing, unique Island made shopping, grocery stores, surfing beaches, and you can take advantage of the native's harvest from the sea by purchasing their catch right on the wharf. Lobster dinner anyone?

Traveling with a large family group? Combine both properties at Cove House for an awesome family vacation. The entire Cove House can sleep up to 14 people with 2.5 kitchens, and 3.5 baths. (please send a VRBO inquiry for further description of the two accommodation choices)

The Captain's Quarters is in a prime Ocean front location offering a relaxing retreat close to many attractions, restaurants, shops, and the beach.

This is the property to stay if you want an authentic Bahamian experience and all the comforts of home .
The host Donna and Harry are wonderful people who are very integrated and loved in this beautiful little town.
The house is very well equipped, beds are comfortable, air conditioning excellent and they have their own water
supply Incase the water goes off
( which happens on this island ).
The location is perfectly situated with a great view of the ocean and fishing dock . A large patio overlooks it all the excitement when they bring in the days catch . You can get your fresh fish and cook it while watching a amazing sunset or if you don’t feel like cooking you can walk to one of the great places to eat with reasonable priced local food .
It also close to many great beaches and other attractions.
If you feel hesitant at all to stay in town with the locals ,no need to here ,they are friendly and very welcoming
As a woman who travel alone to many places ,I must say in Eleuthera I feel TOTALLY safe .
Also having the host right next door is a huge bonus if you need anything , or even just information
I will absolutely stay here again next time . I LOVE this place !!
Thank you for having me

Our family spent a week at the Cove house during spring break. The unit is very spacious and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to function properly. The view is beautiful from the upstairs deck. The caretakers were responsive and very helpful. We will stay there again on next visit.

Stayed here for a few days with my family of 5 in July. The property was perfect for us and so well located on the island with everything we wanted to do very close by. Felt like a real home with personal touches in a long history of past photos everywhere. Every convivence taken care of with well stocked kitchen, great A/C and comfortable beds. Property does not have a true beach to lay out on or play but the ocean and bay directly in front is great for swimming, snorkeling, and kayak/paddle boarding (plenty of them to choose from for free). We enjoyed traveling to the many nearby beaches and actually enjoyed staying right on the water where there is more of a wide pier in front. the views each day were amazing! Several small restaurants, groceries (small but normal for Eleuthera), liquor stores, and gas stations just a minute walk away. Very friendly people everywhere. Host was excellent with quick responses and tips or suggestions. Great place to stay and relax or explore rest of island from

This property overlooks a hub of local activity which makes it perfect. The emerald water of the cove greets you upon waking every day. The house has a full kitchen with all you'll need to make meals and snacks. If you don't feel like cooking, hop over to Unca Gene's for drinks and dinner and enjoy the quiet cove when walking back"home." We look forward to returning!

This is my 4th stay at least. Owners are very responsive. I asked for a non stick fan and it was there when I got there. The property is right in the heart of things downtown. You can walk a minute or two to get the the stores and restauants/bar.. The bay is.beautiful, especially iespecially with the sunsets.

The Captain's Quarters apartment is in a good location and within walking distance to local churches, restaurants and stores. The accommodations are comfortable and the view is very pretty. The property manager is attentive and "just a message away." WiFi is good, kitchen is well equipped, and the hot water feels great in the shower after a day in the water. Recommended!

This is my 3rd time in Eleuthera and the first time I found a great deal. I had settled on just pay a lot for everything because it’s an island but I was amazed at his deal. Not only is the house clean and conveniently located it come with boards so wow that is a deal. The pictures are exactly what your getting and I appreciate that. He also keeps his rules simple and makes you relax.

Once again I stayed at The Cove House which I adore! The property is situation on the cove in Gregorytown. It is within walking distance of everything in town. It is so safe you can hitchhike to and from the beach. The Cove House has a new air conditioning system that is amazing! The temperature in every room is at your control. My favourite parts are sitting on the huge covered porch watching and listening to the lulling sound of the waves in the cove, and waving at all the locals who are so friendly. There is a full kitchen, living room and TV.

The owner, Harry, and his wife, Donna, were very friendly, helpful, and informative. The house was very clean and roomy, the kitchen had everything needed for cooking, and had a great water dispenser. Great location for getting a true feel of Gregory Town. It was fun seeing the locals go out in their boats in the morning, and come back in loaded with fish. We even got to try fresh stone crab claws courtesy of the owner, Harry. Great location for sightseeing all the sites in northern Eleuthera. Only wish the apartment had central air conditioning.

My family of four (my husband, two teen aged children, and me) stayed for a week in early April and had an absolutely wonderful vacation. I love the location of this rental because it's directly on a safe cove that is perfect for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking. The bay-side location provides a lot of entertainment as you sit and watch from the balcony - fisherman, people from town coming for a swim, occasionally giant fish swimming by, etc. The rental house also sits near some great places to eat (we loved Unca Gene's!), get groceries, bakery goods, beer/liquor, and nearly everything else you need. The kitchen was very usable and provided everything you need to make food during your stay. Local cookbooks available in the kitchen helped me figure out how to fix the fresh grouper we bought from fisherman on the dock across from the house. The hosts were AWESOME. They were available to give advice and answer questions but left us alone to explore and relax.A stay at this amazing place is not for everyone. If you are super picky about how updated a rental is, this is not for you. If you have trouble with the unexpected or can't roll with flow, this is not for you. However, if you can successfully turn on "island time" and love the amazing experience of staying in a local town with real people (NOT a resort!), always looking out on a beautiful turquoise cove, then this is perfect.

This is, in fact, a charming little cottage with a nice view of the cove in Gregorytown. Very practical and affordable for a trip to the Bahamas. However, we arrived for a wedding at the end of June/beginning of July to find that the property is not air conditioned. Air conditioning was not advertised, however if you have never been to the Bahamas before, and live in a location where generally everywhere has air conditioning, you would not know to ask. There are many places in this part of the Bahamas that do not have air conditioning as it isn't really needed outside of the summer months. However, it was near 100 degrees the week we were there, and we were not able to sleep at the cottage because it was so hot. We ended up staying at a house where our friends were even though there really wasn't room because we would have been miserable at the Cove House, and still had to pay the full amount, even though we did not stay there, which was very disappointing from a customer service standpoint. I don't purposely bad mouth businesses, and the owner was very helpful and cordial up till this point, but since I did not stay there, yet still had to pay the entire amount I cannot say I would rent from this owner again. As I said it was a charming little cottage with pretty much everything one would need, and I'm sure it would be absolutely fine during the cooler months, but buyer beware if you go when it is hot.

We had a wonderful stay in Gregory Town at the Cove House, in the Compass Cottage - a cool and comfortable apartment for the three of us, but there was still plenty of room in the loft for a few more people. It's just a short trip from Florida, but seemingly worlds away. The spectacular sights and peaceful sounds of Eleuthera made our 9-day stay very special. So quiet that you could read or sleep the day away, so safe you can leave your windows open to enjoy the sea breezes. You can hear the daily sounds of fishermen cracking the conch shells on the dock, kids laughing and playing outside, and Sunday morning hymns in the nearby by church- and will be almost surprised to hear the occasional car drive by. The Cove House is steps away from one of many peaceful coves in Eleuthera, as well as miles of accessible beaches for swimming, snorkeling, shelling, fishing, surfing, etc. You can get a well-detailed map of Eleuthera from the local Island Made gift shop, where you can also buy some great souvenirs - jewelry made from beach glass, island fabrics, t-shirts, local art, etc. Gregory Town is a friendly little hamlet, where everyone always waves and says hello. Our hosts, Harry and Donna, are a key part of this happy island family, and they were always glad to give us advice for our next daily adventure. The food in Eleuthera was fantastic, and always fresh, with several great restaurants just minutes away from the Cove House - Front Porch, Twin Brothers, Daddy Jo's, Rainbow Inn, Laughing Lizard, to name a few. Or you can cook your own meals in your Compass Cottage kitchen. Cracked conch is a delicious island specialty. The stone crabs are great too. Our teenage son was most interested in surfing, and when the wind is right, Eleuthera has some of the best surf spots in the Caribbean. Harry has some boards you can use, and he knows the waves in Eleuthera as well as anyone. Or stop by and talk to Pete at the local surf shop. They say that "Eleuthera isn't for Everyone", but our stay at Cove House was perfect for us.
