Spectacular Eco Cottage, oceanfront, secret beach

Spectacular Eco Cottage, oceanfront, secret beach

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay and created so many special family memories here. The cabin is absolutely amazing, offering breathtaking views, easy beach access, and a fantastic location. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves and exploring the beautiful beaches of Eleuthera. It truly is the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and soak in the natural beauty—plus, we loved how quiet and uncrowded it was during our stay!As with many remote islands, future visitors should plan ahead and bring along their absolute essentials, as local availability can be limited and prices are a bit higher, though it didn’t impact our trip at all.Thank you, Mark, for being such a great host. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return!"

8/10 Good
"Hello, Having been to many Relais and Chateau properties through out the glove, my expectations were very high. I think The Cove did a great job overall for being in the Bahamas, however for this category of luxury resort, they fell short in many ways: They did not accomodate for an early check in, there were several power outages, internet and WiFi outages, there were water outages, the onsite water craft for excursions was not as clean as would be expected, there was a red ant infestation in our luxury bungalow which required sleeping in another suite for the night while fumigation took place. The staff was lovely, however, these issues need to be addressed."

"Our family had another wonderful stay at Deborah’s beautiful home. This was our 2nd visit, and it was every bit as amazing as the 1st. The house is thoughtfully equipped with everything our family of 7 needed for a relaxing and memorable week in Eleuthera.The location is great- centrally located with stunning views, a fantastic pool, and easy ocean access. Paradise! Deborah is an exceptional host. She is incredibly responsive, always happy to answer questions, and consistently provides fantastic local recommendations that made our trip even more special.We couldn’t recommend this home more highly and are already looking forward to returning for our 3rd stay!"
