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.

We totally enjoyed our vacation. Cove house has all the amenities that you would need. The heat is fantastic! Great personality and friendly. We will definitely stay here again

Loved it. Right in town - able to shop and go to restaurants. Everything I needed was in rental; could cook own meals. Owners so friendly and helpful. People in town friendly. Right on beautiful bay.

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.

Lovely spot, great property, wonderful community. Thank you! We had the best time and will be back soon.

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.

was here in feb march 2010 had awsome time . came back 4/5/2012 and awsome times ppl here are soo awsome come check it out worth it

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.
