About this property

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.

Wonderful
We loved our stay at serenity cove! They have everything you need for a great vacation… beach chairs, towels, a cooler, kayaks, and life vests. We brought our snorkeling gear and enjoyed snorkeling right off the back deck. At night the sea life was fun to watch from the deck. We had nightly visits from a sea turtle and a nurse or lemon shark…not sure which kind it was. The house is very well furnished and clean. Nell always responded quickly with any questions I had prior to our trip. I definitely recommend this location.

a wonderful get-away
Serenity Cove lived up to its name. A nicely furnished home with a spectacular view of the bay/cove and the nighttime star-filled sky.Private and quiet, there is easy access by car to GREAT food shopping for such a small island, especially the fresh fruit and greens an nearby Island Farm.The house is extremely comfortable and secure with plenty of porch space for sitting and enjoying the sun and view. Both bedrooms were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked in terms of utensils, bowls, etc.Our plan/hope? To return next year. That's how much we enjoyed our stay.

Very beautiful and peaceful
First time to Eleuthera with our 14/12 year old girls. Lovely and peaceful stay, the setting is beautiful and very relaxing. The property is perfect for 4, comfortable if a little dated. Great touch to have extras like kayaks, life vests, snorkelling gear etc. We were there just before the season gets going so was tough finding places to eat with many still closed. Not too far from Governour’s Harbour. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Vacance idéal
Nous avons passé deux agréable semaines chez Nell, sa maison est vraiment bien situé, au réveil nous avons la vue sur la mer et la magnifique plage de Ten Bay. Nous avons trouvé tout le confort dans cette demeure. La maison est vraiment propre et nous avons manqué de rien. L'accès à la mer est très sécuritaire. La vue de la terrasse est M A G N I F I Q U E. Merci Nell pour la location de votre maison et merci aussi a Sue pour la location de la voiture très bon service et bonne voiture, dommage que nous n'avons pas pu converser longtemps car nous ne parlons pas bien l'anglais cela ne nous à pas empêcher de passé de très bonne vacance.

Serenity Cove is the best!
My family ( husband and 9 and 11 year old daughters) all said they loved this house and want to come back every year. The location and view were amazing! Everything exceeded our expectations. The owners provided many thoughtful touches- such as the floats, snorkel gear, life jackets, and games. My family didn’t want to leave the house to explore new places because the house was so tranquil and lovely. The walk to the beach was very quick. Nell was very helpful with my questions before our arrival. We hope to return soon! Thank you!!!

Great stay on Ten Bay!
Our party of 4 enjoyed our week at Serenity Cove! Everything was comfortable and as expected from the listing. Communication was friendly and smooth, including dealing with a flight delay. You can’t beat the mid-island location and the benefits of being right on Ten Bay for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing. The kitchen was one of the best-equipped we have encountered in a rental, which was much appreciated, as we cooked often. Would not hesitate to recommend for two couples wanting to share a relaxing rental.

Absolute paradise.
Our stay was amazing, leaving was incredibly difficult because we fell in love with the sweetest cat we called “Serenity”, she showed up as soon as we arrived, she was starving so we fed her. We planned on taking her home but couldn’t because the local Vet said she had FIV which would be a detriment to our cats at home, (we did make sure she was completely vaccinated before we left,) we have been heartbroken since we left. We hope that people care for her as they come in each week as we did. Our stay was magical, the location was amazing and peaceful, we snorkeled everyday right in front of the house, and enjoyed a few kayaking trips in the bay. The home was impeccably clean, we did loose power for about 9 hours one day but made the best of it. The only thing I would suggest would be getting clarification on rental car cost before hand, the welcome book stated around $50 a day and we were charged $90 a day by Arthur for a non 4 wheel drive vehicle, which we thought was really high. Everything else was amazing, and leaving was so hard. We will definitely be returning.

Best snorkeling on the island right here!
Wonderful property on beautiful Ten Bay. Enjoyed every sunrise and sunset from the deck. Can’t think of a single thing that could have been better. We have snorkeled all over the island and the best is right in front of the 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

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!

Memory lane and Alice of heaven
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!

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!

Peaceful Getaway!
My fiancé and I spent 5 nights at Serenity Cove on the island of Eleuthera! The communication with the owners was extremely helpful regarding the home itself as well as everything you could think of that would be beneficial to folks like us first timers! Home had everything we needed but most especially the privacy, beautiful water views, peacefulness that we were hoping for as well as the toys aka kayaks and such for getting more adventurous! I will say October seems to be an extra quiet month before things get hopping in November according to the locals we chatted with. We still found great food and stunning views. I would recommend this lovely home! T & T

Serenity’s Cove is an outdoor paradise!! Walk off the boat launch into crystal blue water. Snorkeling was so much fun. The bigger fish were shy but I saw so many starfish and sand dollars. The kayaks were so great!! Loved going out in the morning and evenings on the kayaks.

About the host

Hosted by Rock & Nell Walker

Host profile image
We have residences in Lancaster SC and Shallotte NC and are usually at one or the other except when on Eleuthera.

Why they chose this property

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.
Ten Bay Beach and its surrounding cove area supports an abundance of sea life that feed on the coral. Guests are delighted to watch a variety of fish from the deck.
While the island offers a slow-paced and peaceful vacation, a number of restaurants can be found within easy driving distance of the house. Many visitors enjoy purchasing fish from the docks at Tarpum Bay or Governor's Harbour and cooking at home. Grocery stores on the island offer almost anything you need.

What makes this property unique

If you are hunting peace and quiet, and you love the beach, and being in the water, Ten Bay Beach is as good as it gets!
