Great rental! We really enjoyed having the ocean front terrace. We rented a car and went to so many beaches that were close by. It was walking distance to some tasty restaurants. Would love to stay here again!
The property sits in a beautiful location, overlooking a little cove in the heart of Gregory Town. It’s perfect if you want to be in the middle of everything—we loved sipping coffee on the balcony while watching the morning activity around the cove.The location is also very convenient to a variety of beaches and adventures around the island.There were plenty of towels, and the kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking utensils for preparing meals. The AC worked well, the internet was reliable, and the shower had great water pressure. It is common for Gregory Town to experience short power outages throughout the day, but everything in the house came back online smoothly each time.The water toys were all as advertised and a nice addition to the stay.The host and local maintenance person were both kind, helpful, and responsive.Overall, I would definitely recommend this property, especially if you’re looking for a comfortable and convenient home base in the heart of Gregory Town.
Harry was a very good host. He was close by and available whenever we had questions.The location is perfect to walk to dinner or for a short drive to any number of amazing sites on the island. The view from the balcony is perfect!
The Cove house was great. It has absolutely EVERYTHING you could possibly need. While not on a sandy beach.. it is a great water view. My husband loved interacting with the guys on the pier with their daily catch of conch. Walking distance to restaurants and just a great home base. Central location. Many attractions and beaches near by. Would definitely stay again. Hosts Harry & Donna live on sight and were there for any questions which was great!!
Beautiful place with the best views in town. We were very pleased with every aspect of the Cove House in Gregory Town. Harry and Donna are great hosts and we will definitely be back.
Everything is somehow even more beautiful than the photos!!! We came on a babymoon, wish we could have stayed longer, and are already planning our return for next year. The location, the water color/clarity, local light
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.
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!

Thanks!
Not only the beauty but the Bahamian people make this a special place. Come back soon!

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

We LOVED staying at Cove House
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.

Charming, but beware in the summer - No air conditioning
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.
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.
If you are looking for a great place in Gregory Town Eleuthera this is your place. The house is right in the center of town the most amazing views. You can sit on the front porch all day and talk with all the locals. This home had everything you could need for your stay. I will definitely be back!
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.
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.
Loved staying at the Cove house.! Harry and Rhonda warm and welcoming. Loved sitting on the porch watching the lovely people of Gregorytown coming and going listening to the sea and watching the sunsets overlooking the water. Swam in the bay in the mornings-bring beach shoes as there are conch shells. Loved eating at the local places.. Cove House is right in town and a minutes or two walk to everything. All people so friendly. Is very safe. Got to see the tree lighting celebration!

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.
