Eleuthera Island, the name means Freedom ... Discovered in 1688 by a band of shipwrecked adventurers, they named the 100 mile sliver of land after the Greek word for freedom.

Today you can experience that freedom on your own Island adventure at Cove House Bahamas. Cove House, located on the picturesque Harbor Cove of Gregory Town is an authentically renovated colonial Bahamian home with great stone pillars sparkling white against the back drop of Sea and Sun.

Cove House features a unique Island decor. Clean and comfortable Island living. If you have never slept on an Island you will never be quite the same. 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 natives harvest from the sea by purchasing their catch right on the wharf. Lobster dinner anyone?

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 1973

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. The 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 the Owner Chose Gregory Town

Cove House has been my family's adventure headquarters 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 project that has lasted more than three decades.
