Why the Owner Chose Ten Bay Beach
Our goal was to find an island where we felt safe, and with people we felt were genuinely friendly. After searching many islands in the Bahamas, we found that on Eleuthera.

Fishing and Beach days. K&K Cuthbert, Vancouver Island, BC Canada

This property was exactly as depicted in the photos and description. Excellent! It was clean and had everything we needed while we were there with another couple for 10 days. It is ideally located in the central region of Eleuthera which made it the best place for our husbands to go fishing from. The beach is second to none for relaxing, its clean, and we even did a bit of snorkelling along the rock edge of the beach. We were only a short drive to Governer's Harbour to shop, eat at restaurants, and attend the local "Fish Fry" on Fiday night! I would greatly recommend this property to anyone wanting a no hassle, peaceful, vacation. We especially loved turning on the flood lights at night and watching the sea creatures from the deck, and of course the Richardos Coconut Rum!! We didn't want to leave! We'll be back for sure...
Owner response:Dear Kenzie & Kyt, thank you so much for your comments. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the island, and the house met your needs. And, thanks for your rental again next January!! As folks who own a lodge in BC, we feel especially honored that you shared your comments with us.

We have recently returned from a stay of just over a week at this lovely property. It is set in a superb location and we spent a lot of time on the large deck just taking in the view and observing the variety of fish that inhabited the cove beneath us. The villa itself was very clean and well appointed. We loved the beach at Ten Bay - a short walk either through the water or overland. Often my husband and I were the only people there. The bonefishing was hard but successful. This was our first trip to the Bahamas and we were not disappointed. The villa owners gave us lots of advice prior to departure to ensure our stay was an enjoyable one. We loved Eluethera and hope to return to the in the future.
Owner response:Debbie, Thank you for your lovely comments about our home at Ten Bay Beach. We love the island and the area; and, we love hearing that others do as well. Come back!

Serenity Cove - perfectly named !

We just returned from our stay in this well appointed house. It is well named - offering perfect seclusion as it sits back in it's own little cove. The house itself is very well equipped, the big supply of towels was much appreciated as it saved us having to pack them. Swimming in the cove was just like swimming in an aquarium- so many fish of all colors and sizes. We even fed the fish in the mornings, making for some great photo opportunities. At night the house has lights that will illuminate the cove - so pretty. It has a TV etc, but we preferred to watch the fish and sunset from the deck. At night the stars are spectacular. A great central location for exploring the island, we drove the whole length of the island discovering so many spectacular beaches along the way. We saw many great places but really it was hard to beat the view off our own deck- Ten Bay is a great beach, you can actually walk over there at low tide. For a truly relaxing vacation we couldn't have chosen better , my dream now is to repeat the experience!
Owner response:Hi Karen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We were so pleased to know that you enjoyed Serenity Cove as much as we do. We visit the house a good bit in order to keep it feeling fresh and ready for guestd. Nothing worse then coming to an island and not being able to find a decent wine glass! Many thanks. Come back!
