About this property

Secluded waterfront cottage

Skylarking cottage is at the end of a rolling stone path that takes you through the tropical hardwood forest. Quiet and secluded, with floor to ceiling aqua blue water views. Complete with spacious deck, hardwood floors and a stone and wood outdoor shower. 100% off grid and in tune with nature, you are immersed in the natural beauty of The Bahamas.
Explore the coastline on gin clear waters with the included paddle boards and kayak. Get underwater to meet the local marine life by snorkeling the rocky shoreline. Lots of beaches nearby as well as Surfers Beach for those that want to hang ten.
The property consists of a main residence on the top of the hill and the cottage down by the water. The cottage is not visible from the main residence and the main residence is not visible from the cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Waterfront Cottage. Fully secluded with stunning views, all the necessities, and essentially your own cove to enjoy on Eleuthera. Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone interested

There are no words for how incredible this property was or just how much we enjoyed our time there. It exceeded our expectations in every way, it was so beautiful each morning when we woke up that we felt we had to be dreaming! Each morning and evening we visited with sea turtles that swam at the shore like clockwork, we kayaked, paddleboarded, snorkeled, and made great use of the French press. Petagay could not have been a more gracious or helpful host. My best friend and I are the kind of travelers who are usually ready to leave at the end of our trip but neither of us wanted to leave Skylarking. We can’t wait to go back.

This was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The whole process from booking, to arriving and staying everything was so easy. Upon arrival we found the place to be amazing. The pictures do not show the true beauty. Everything you could need was at the location even the smallest of details were thought of. Our host was very responsive, kind and went the extra mile to make sure our stay special. My husband and I did not want to leave this piece of heaven.

Our stay at Skylarking was nothing short of magical! Such a uniquely beautiful, welcoming property with a host who cares deeply for Eleuthera. Her dedication to maintaining the natural state of this property when she built it has created a special partnership between the land and the cottage. The path leading in to the cottage is a special experience, especially if you're lucky enough to see it with fireflies lighting up the trees at night. That brought back such a special memory for me - one that I'll never forget! The walk up the path created a real aha moment when the cottage finally came into view, perched in front of that extraordinary Exuma Sound! This was our first off-grid experience (that we could remember) which in no way detracts from a feeling of luxury, a time to sit back and to appreciate Eleuthera's extraordinary beauty. We feel so lucky to have spent three days in this truly enchanting place.

Our stay here was absolutely incredible! If you’re looking for the best way to experience Eleuthera, this is it. The private cove, scenic balcony, outdoor shower, paddleboards, and kayak made this one of our favorite and most romantic vacations ever. We saw so many amazing fish and sea turtles snorkeling every day, and every sunset in the cove was more breathtaking than the last. The house was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for the perfect island escape. The host was so kind and communicative, and we honestly can’t wait to come back! Having a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for the road that leads to the property.

The perfect retreat for couples

What a wonderful property that is as secluded as you could ever hope for, very lovely and with a private bay, only with the occasional boat that drops anchor. Just make sure you get an SUV to make it up the gravel hill, glad we saw the reviews with that recommendation.

Brief stay at Skylarking

Due to a flight cancellation we were able to only stay one night at Skylarking. Other than a very bumpy, rocky and steep access road, the villa was fine for us. A great view and a nice swimming hole below. Nicely equipped inside. The access path through the trees is a bit rough, especially for a roller bag.

Wow what an awesome off the grid getaway! Secluded home with an unbelievable view and private ocean cove. Sea turtle sightings every day, snorkeling with gorgeous reef fish and floating away in the timeless gorgeous water. Sunsets are stunning and the house had everything we needed. It’s a great place, loved every minute!
