Bahamas Eleuthera, Ten Bay Beach;Cove Property; Privacy; includes 3 kayaks

The house is built to take advantage of its location on the water with bedrooms and living area facing the ocean. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-size bed; the second bedroom has twins that can be converted to a king. Plenty of linens provided. While rates quoted are for 2 persons, this house works well for 2 couples because of the way it is laid out with bedrooms on each end and a common living area in the center. Additional charge is $15 per day per person, with a maximum of four total persons in the house. Bedrooms and living area open to the front deck and water. Each bedroom has its own covered sitting area that joins the front deck. For those who like to cook, the kitchen is well-furnished. Charcoal grill is located on back patio. Or, guests could elect to have a true Bahamian meal cooked for them at the house by contacting Sue Knowles; her number is posted at the house. Many local restaurants are within easy driving distance to the house. The property offers privacy. Serenity Cove home is tucked back in a cove and sits in the center of three lots, all owned by the property owner. Watch the night life on the water with the help of high-beam lighting that covers the cove area. Ten Bay Beach is one of the nicest beaches on Eleuthera; great for sunbathing, swimming, walking, and snorkeling right from the beach. Vacationers enjoy getting into the water in front of the house for swimming and snorkeling, or going to the beach which is a short 50 yards through the water. Many folks visit the entire island, but say their favorite place is right at Ten Bay Beach! A favorite past time is feeding fish from the deck. Serenity Cove offers one 2-person Gemini kayak and 2 single Perception Tribe kayaks with gear. The deck on this house is high and over coral rock. We always caution folks with small children. If you are an island visitor, you realize the tiny no-see-ums also love the area. We recommend that visitors who are sensitive, bring needed repellent. Water shoes are also recommended to avoid the sea urchins. The wrap-around deck offers you sun (or not) from 3 locations. Guests have explored this island from top to bottom and have found great beaches to explore. Many folks enjoy traveling south to Tarpum Bay to purchase fresh fish from the docks; wait until mid-afternoon. We recommend reading the guest book for ideas, and also entering your own for others to explore. Directions to the house: On Queens Highway, travel 14 miles south of Governor's Harbour airport; roughly 4 miles south of Palmetto Point. After your pass a small sub-station with transformers enclosed in a chain-link fence (on you right), the road to Ten Bay development will be on your right (about 1.5 or less miles). On right, look for sign that has property owners listed. Follow that road for about .8 mile; the house is on the right; palm trees lining drive to house.

Perfect Paradise
A review or pictures do not do justice to the true beauty of this island or beautiful property!! The house looks exactly like the pictures and we feel in love the moment we walked in! The views were absolutely amazing! Between having our coffee on the front porch watching the beautiful sunrise and watching all the boats docked, to being able to snorkel/kayak right in front of property, to watching the sunset every night over the beautiful water has made our hearts so happy! We so enjoyed seeing the turtle every night! This was by far the best VRBO we ever stayed at and we will def be back(5 days was NOT ENOUGH time) Thanks for opening your home to us! We left relaxed and at peace! Michelle and Brian

Best of both worlds
We loved being right on the water with the mini cliffs and the beach. The walk over to ten bay beach is so cute and shaded. The kayaks were such a marvelous time. The location was perfect for our plans at Leon Levy and on down to Lighthouse Beach. Groceries are only 4 miles away at the best place ever-Island Farm. We cannot wait to come back!! Perfect!

Our first trip to El Luther and our stay at serenity Cove was amazing! My parents had stayed in this home in the early 90s and thoroughly enjoyed their experience on the island and they at the house. It was a sentimental return to a place that they both loved. we enjoyed the easy accessibility to the water using the kayaks. The water temperature was perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Arthur Nixon and Sue Knowles, as well as the walkers, were friendly and quick to help with organizing and preparing for our arrival. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us!

Paradise!
Amazing!! We love this place! This was the perfect getaway for me, my husband, my brother and sister in-law. We cooked most of our meals at the cottage and enjoyed the perfect view from the balcony. Centrally located so we could easily explore the island's beaches, delicious food and gift shops. This place has all the amenities you need to enjoy your time away from home. Note: Bring bug spray!! Thank you Rock and Nell for letting us enjoy your beautiful property :)

Perfection in paradise
If you are looking for a relaxing and well-equipped Bahamian cottage with views for days, kayaks that you can launch from the property, cozy furnishings, a kitchen you can actually cook in, and serenity beyond belief, you've just found it. We will return for sure to this special place by the best beach in Eleuthera!

A delightful stay in this comfortable house
Our stay at the Serenity Cove house was terrific. This was our second visit to Eleuthera and our first stay at this house, which is in a perfect location for exploring the lower region of the Island. The house setting is fantastic; its exposure offers panoramic views of Ten Bay and the Caribbean from the well-appointed deck and waterfront. The house is well-equipped, nicely decorated, and clean, with very comfortable beds and furnishings. The water-side location provides easy access for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking and is a comfy spot for seaside morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. The property description is very accurate. A few minor concerns: The single kayaks have small, slow leaks, needing draining on longer paddles; a second potable water container would be beneficial; the potable water container was ¾-empty at check-in. Reusable empty water containers are easily traded in at any retail location; it was very buggy (no-see-ums) inside the house and out, and insect repellant is a must. We are dreaming of our memorable time here and plan on a future stay at the Serenity Cove House and in this beautiful area of Eleuthera.

True paradise!
The house was wonderful overlooking the beautiful Caribbean and ten bay beach! Nice central location…maybe a little hard to find the first time…glad we didn’t arrive in the dark! We took the kayaks out a few times which was fun. Make sure to drain them before you carry them up to the house because they do take on some water. We had 2 power outages. One was during the day and we left the house and it had come back on by the time we got back home. The second one was last night and it didn’t come back on for about 12 hours. We never even used the air conditioner. We were fine with just the ceiling fans. We saw the turtle a few times and another huge fish swam by…couldn’t say what it was. Saw a ray over at ten bay beach! We did drive down to Lighthouse beach. You can drive as far as the second guard station and then you hike two miles on a beautiful stretch of beach to get to lighthouse point. Poponi beach was really beautiful and totally deserted. Tippy’s wasn’t open though so maybe that’s why. We appreciated all the conveniences like beach toys, towels and chairs. We wish the little cooler bags on the back of the chairs were functional, but the sea air has made them so they don’t zip shut, but other than that…everything was great! Such a relaxing vacation and the Bahamian people are very friendly. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!
