About this property

Cove House Ocean Front Gregory Town SUP and surfboards available at no charge

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

Perfect ocean side house
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.

Short stay at this absolute Gem!
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

Warm breezes and great views.
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!

Right in town on the cove
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.

About the host

Hosted by HARRY WILSON

Host profile image
My wife, Donna and I along with our two adult children spend as much time in Gregory Town as possible. We enjoy surfing, diving and fishing. Every day is an adventure. But most of all we love the healthy laid back Island life. The Bahamian people make each trip special. They are truly some of the most friendly people in the world. They make the Bahamian experience an unforgettable treasure. I think you will agree. Harry Wilson

Why they chose this property

Cove House has been my family's beloved second home ever since my Father purchased this home in 1973. Originally a tomato cannery, then one of the Islands only dry goods store, then destroyed by Hurricane Betsy in the 1960's. My Father and Mother found this gem on their second vacation to Eleuthera. They always joked about finding a fixer upper. But when they took one look at this classic example of turn of the century Bahamian architecture laying in ruin beside this picturesque cove, it's quiet waters shimmering, they knew this was the place they had always been looking for. Thus began my family's Island Home renovation project that has lasted more than three decades.

Recently (in 2015) we began our third remodel of our home since our original purchase. This was our largest undertaking ever. We replaced all plumbing and all three bathrooms. Installed a completely new electrical service to the entire home. Added a designer kitchen and a wet bar. Installed a new ocean front deck and pergola. We reestablished a secondary fresh water source with our cistern and easy to use switch-over filtered pump. And shipped in many new furnishings and new beds I'm happy to announce this huge project was completed in Dec. 2019 and is now ready for YOUR Family's use!

What makes this property unique

There is plenty of Bahamian culture to experience here. Choosing a vacation accommodation within the Settlement guarantees a unique Island experience. Get to know the Native People and their way of life. If you are a family traveling with children staying at Cove House will be a valuable experience for the kids that they will carry with them for a lifetime.
