Overview & Photos
Sky Cove is a beautiful new private beachfront estate on the calm Caribbean side of Eleuthera, near famous Ten Bay Beach. Sky Cove's private beach is located on a secluded cove perfect for swimming, SPECTACULAR SNORKELING, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, and mooring your boat! This spectacular property was used by Venus swimwear for the photo shoot for their summer 2020 catalog.
Overlooking this lovely beach and cove is a 50-foot ocean-view infinity pool with a Baja shelf for lounging. The pool is surrounded by a deck with sweeping ocean views, furnished for lounging and dining. A fire pit for evening entertainment awaits. Beside the pool is bocce ball court! The pool can be heated for $500 per week.
We just upgraded to Starlink for faster and more reliable internet!
Inside, a marble-tiled foyer with a powder room and a stairway taking you up to the main level. At the top of the stairs you encounter the most spectacular room on the island, a living room of glass with 270° views of Eleuthera and the sea through floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. This room is furnished for both lounging and dining and has an adjacent secondary guest kitchen. Past this room are four king-bed master suites with full en-suite baths and spectacular ocean views through walls of glass. Each suite has its own entrance from the balcony that runs the full length of the second floor. These four rooms can also connect internally if needed.
Continuing up the stairs from the glass living room takes you to the upper sky deck, a large room furnished with a sectional sofa and chairs and a flat screen TV and offering panoramic views of sea and island. The sectional sofa folds out into two single beds. There are also two inflatable beds (1 double and 1 single) which can be set up in this room, so it can be used as a sleeping loft (the 7th bedroom) for up to 5 guests. It can also be used as a media room or lounge.
From this room, step out onto Sky Cove's incredible roof deck. (This door has a child-proof lock for security.) This glass walled roof deck, perched high above the trees, offers 360-degree views of sea, beach, and island. Luxuriously furnished with lounge seating this is the best spot on the island to enjoy a beverage and watch the sun rise and set.
Sky Cove has two additional master bedroom suites, the "bungalows", which are detached from the main house for ultimate privacy. Each suite has a king bed, full bath, and spectacular ocean views through a wall of glass. The bungalows are included for groups of more than 8 guests.
In addition to the kitchen mentioned above, Sky Cove has a primary extra-large caterer's kitchen with a separate entrance. This kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, washer/dryer, two full-size refrigerator/freezers, eat-in breakfast bar, beverage bar, and a dining area that seats eight. Adjacent to the caterer's kitchen is a gas BBQ area with a large outdoor dining area that seats 12 to 16.
Amenities at Sky Cove including WIFI, smart TVs (but no cable), AC throughout, back-up generator, pool, kayaks, paddle boards, water rafts, bocci balls, and volleyball net.
Quote from a recent guest: "We were astonished at how many different species of fish and sea life or in the cove in the areas just outside the Cove. You need to go if you dive or snorkel"
Sky Cove is located less than 5 minutes from the town of Savannah Sound which has the acclaimed Fishbone Bar and Grill waterfront restaurant, and new grocery store Midway Cost Cutters.
The town of Palmetto Point is less than 10 minutes away, with additional stores and restaurants.
The main town, Governors Harbour, is 15 minutes away and has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, a bank with an ATM, bakeries, gift shops, and a dive shop. It has a collection of 19th century homes. You can buy fresh fish at the town dock. Friday night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour is a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals.
NOTE: Rates are for the first 8 guests. For each additional guest, add $525 per week.

The Hidden Gem of Eleuthera - Sky Cove is Paradise

Carole Hussey recommends this vacation rental.
Our stay at Sky Cove was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a uniquely private location, it truly felt like we were on our own private island—completely secluded, yet comfortably close to everything we needed. The setting is so serene and peaceful, with views so breathtaking we found ourselves constantly just sitting and soaking it all in. The amenities at Sky Cove struck the perfect balance, allowing us to be as active or as relaxed as we wanted. The kayaks and paddleboards were a hit with everyone in our group, offering the perfect way to explore the beautiful waters right outside the door. To elevate our experience even further, we hired a private chef and a mobile bar service—both of whom raved about how well-equipped the house is. Everything they needed was already there, making it easy for them to deliver top-notch service in such a remote-feeling location. Being just a short drive from Governor's Harbour was also a huge plus. Whether we needed to stock up on groceries or felt like venturing out for a local dinner, everything was conveniently within reach without sacrificing the peaceful isolation we loved so much. If we had one suggestion, it would be to consider updating the living room furniture, as it's starting to show some wear. That said, it didn't take away from our experience in the slightest. This was, without question, our most relaxing vacation ever. Sky Cove is a very special piece of paradise, and we feel so lucky to have experienced it. We're already dreaming of our return.

Beautiful spacious home with a pristine private beach and pool. Unique design offered glorious views and personal spaces for each guest. Well equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare our own meals from convenient local stores. Truly a perfect spot for a large group to get away from it all. We were especially grateful for Matthew’s support and assistance while booking and when we were delayed in arriving.

Amy Boehm recommends this vacation rental.
Pros: A gorgeous location on a beautiful cove. Provided kayaks and paddle boards provided a fun way to explore the cove and surrounding shoreline. These were used every day. Comfortable beds. Great seating options outside. Loved the gas firepit.
Cons: Inside spaces were not large enough to accommodate the number of guests. No place indoors for everyone to eat, play cards, watch TV, etc. This home is all about the outside spaces and the inside spaces are a miss for a home in this price range. Internet/wifi was a mess and unreliable even after a technician came out to help. The home is in need of maintenance. The large glass windows in the living room were either broken or foggy (like the inner seal was broken.) The bungalow slider doors took 2 hands and some serious muscle power to open. One shower had no pressure, another no hot water. The toilet pump/grinder in one of the bungalows cycled periodically all night causing plenty of sleep interruptions. (We eventually just turned the water off at the toilet every night and this temporarily fixed the issue.)
- Manager Response:
We are glad you enjoyed our location, but very sorry about the issues you encountered. The property manager had a plumber out who resolved the plumbing issues including the noisy pump. We acknowledge that one of the large double-paned windows has a crack in one pane (it is not broken), and that several others are foggy. The homeowner is attempting to replace all of these floor-to-ceiling custom windows. The Starlink internet is normally very good. The Starlink technician came out and fixed that problem.

We had an amazing stay at Sky Cove. The house was in a great location. Sky Cove was clean upon arrival and in great shape. The rental management staff was incredibly helpful. We couldn't have asked for a house better suited for our group of 12.

We were a group of 8 staying for 2 wonderful weeks at Sky Cove. The home is an architectural dream and is very spacious and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing vacation. Situated on a quiet, calm cove we ventured out in to the turquoise caribbean every day to snorkel, spearfish and paddle-board to nearby beaches. On windy days you can simply stay inside the cove and be completely protected from the weather! The huge swimming pool was so refreshing after our beach activ

David Mahoney recommends this vacation rental.
Great Location, Amazing view! Can't ask for a better Cove to relax in. Great for Kids as well. We rented a boat and kept it in the cove. Fishing was good along the cliffs and in the bay. Yellow tail, Snapper, Grouper and Mackerel. Were able to catch and cook dinner multiple nights. Snorkeling was good but not great. Outdoor space is amazing. All the water toys were operational. Starlink works great if you are in the main house. No signal in the bungalows. House was clean but had some issues. Is just in need of some TLC. No water pressure in two of the main bedrooms. Bed had issues in one of the bungalows, slats kept falling out. Some walls had sections missing because of plumbing issues. Dish washer almost pulled out on one of the kids. Pool never heated up, owner gave us a refund, so that was great. Bocce court is in need of new sand. Recommendations: Bug Spray, Sterno Fuel to keep flies and bugs away. Inside Chefs kitchen and out. Water Shoes. Area to get into water at cove is rocky. Don't fly Silver Air. Was a debacle. Use American. I think they fly into GH now. Visit Ten Bay Beach! Visit "Between the Rocks Beach" Visit "French Leave Beach" Island Farm pineapples are amazing! Rent car from Elvis! Victor the handyman was great! Helped kids learn to spearfish, helped with flat tire, etc. Lot of stairs. Not recommended for individuals that have mobility issues. Our group of 12 had a great time!
- Manager Response:
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, but are very sorry for the issues. There is not a general problem with water pressure. What happens is that the small quantities of sand in the local water clog the shower heads over time, and they need to be cleaned. We could have taken care of that for you easily if you had let us know about it. We have already addressed the other issues, including the bed, the sheetrock that was awaiting replacement, and the pool heater.

We stayed at Sky Cove for spring break and had an amazing time! The cove was perfect for snorkeling, paddle boarding and just watching the turtle swim. The house was clean and well kept and the property manager was just a phone call away and super helpful. Overall, it was one of the best places we have stayed and this was our fourth trip to the Bahamas. Eleuthera is magical and we will definitely be back and Sky Cove will be where we stay!

Sky Cove and Eleuthera, Bahamas was simply the most amazing experience! Matt, Tara, and Tennielle at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals were always so kind, patient, helpful, and fun to talk, text, and Email with! Weeks and months before arriving at Sky Cove our entire family (8 adults, 9 kids ranging in age from 2 years old to 9 years old) would look at the online pictures over and over! None of us could really believe it could be that perfect! But, oh my goodness, it was actually so much better! We did leave the property for 2 of our 7 days, but spent all other days in the Cove! We snorkeled, paddle boarded, floated, swam! Over and Over and Over! It NEVER got old! We spent very little time inside - really only to shower and sleep! We settled into the Chef's kitchen and prepared all our own meals and mostly ate outside! Many nights found us on the very top deck stargazing - so many stars!!! Our family travels a lot and we NEVER do repeat trips because there are so many places we want to see! However, we have already reserved Sky Cove for Summer 2023 - IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!

Sky cove was exactly as described. Absolutely beautiful. Booking team of Tara and Matt were very helpful. Our first trip to ELUTHERA so I had lots of questions. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. Tennille was excellent, answered all our questions and stayed in touch to see if we needed anything.

Property listing accurate and a great place to stay. One problem occurred and was handled immediately. House manager very helpful and kind and provided good customer service. Property was very clean and well maintained. The cove was wonderful for the kids with large and small sea life for snorkeling. Just outside the cove was excellent snorkeling for adults. Great place to stay but stairs troublesome for active 91 year old in our party. Great place to eat on the water deck was Rainbow Inn.

Our group had an amazing experience at Sky Cove. Upstairs and downstairs kitchens had everything we needed. All of the rooms had direct water views, even from the showers. The home is luxurious and comfortable, inside and out. We loved lounging and having our meal outside in the breeze. Tennille and Keith were great to work with, helpful and attentive. It was the vacation of a lifetime.
Very spacious, well appointed property with amazing views.

William Gover recommends this vacation rental.
We were a family group of 10 returning for the third time to Eleuthera. It was our first time at Sky Cove and we had a very good week. The house is spectacular and very private, having its own secluded beach/bay with lots of kayaks and paddle board equipment which we used extensively to reach beautiful Ten Bay beach, just a 10/15 minute paddle away. Snorkeling in the private bay was great, including stingray, turtles and an occasional barracuda. Accommodation is spacious and very well kept. Tenille was very helpful in sorting out issues, which were few, temporary and minor. The generator kicked in multiple times seamlessly and unobtrusively in response to the power cuts that seem to be increasingly common on the island - a huge plus. Only drawback was the early morning and late evening sandflies - take lots of bugspray.

My husband and I have been to Eleuthera many times and this has been by far the best vacation rental. Perfect location. The island farm market is 5 minutes away and is great for quick groceries and alcohol. The private cove has amazing snorkeling. We even ended up catching some of our dinner. My only advice would be to use caution when going in and out of the chef kitchen while cooking. The flies can smell the food from miles away.
