Skylarking cottage is at the end of a rolling stone path that takes you through the tropical hardwood forest. Quiet and secluded, with floor to ceiling aqua blue water views. Complete with spacious deck, hardwood floors and a stone and wood outdoor shower. 100% off grid and in tune with nature, you are immersed in the natural beauty of The Bahamas. Explore the coastline on gin clear waters with the included paddle boards and kayak. Get underwater to meet the local marine life by snorkeling the rocky shoreline. Lots of beaches nearby as well as Surfers Beach for those that want to hang ten. The property consists of a main residence on the top of the hill and the cottage down by the water. The cottage is not visible from the main residence and the main residence is not visible from the cottage.
Due to a flight cancellation we were able to only stay one night at Skylarking. Other than a very bumpy, rocky and steep access road, the villa was fine for us. A great view and a nice swimming hole below. Nicely equipped inside. The access path through the trees is a bit rough, especially for a roller bag.
For our first trip to Eleuthera, this property set the bar high. Absolutely the most relaxing experience. From the amazing view to the outdoor shower, loved everything about Skylarking cottage! Thank you Petagay for sharing your little piece of island paradise.
This cottage is the best place we have ever stayed at. If you think what you see is amazing, the pictures don't accurately depict the beauty of this place. It is SO MUCH MORE!!! If you are considering staying here, do yourself a favor and just book it. You will not regret it. Aside from the amazing opportunities this cottage has to offer, there is so much to see and do at the nearby towns, beaches, and restaurants. Don't think, just book.
What a wonderful property that is as secluded as you could ever hope for, very lovely and with a private bay, only with the occasional boat that drops anchor. Just make sure you get an SUV to make it up the gravel hill, glad we saw the reviews with that recommendation.
Great place to get refueled. It is quiet beyond comprehension, beautiful scenery, peaceful. Wonder views. Youâll want to rent a vehicle with high ground clearance and traction. Sections of the access road can be a bit daunting. But overall it was a wonderful experience.
Wow what an awesome off the grid getaway! Secluded home with an unbelievable view and private ocean cove. Sea turtle sightings every day, snorkeling with gorgeous reef fish and floating away in the timeless gorgeous water. Sunsets are stunning and the house had everything we needed. Itâs a great place, loved every minute!
This was the perfect off the grid secluded getaway. We spent a week unwinding and enjoying the beautiful teal blue water. The host could not have been more accommodating. Looking forward to our return!
Skylarking Cottage is in an extraordinarily beautiful location with unmatched privacy and quiet. I stayed a full week and enjoyed every minute. The view is spectacular with sunsets and morning rainbows over the bay that feel like being in heaven. Petagay is a gracious host and made certain that everything was comfortable.
If you want a beautiful place to get away from the worldâŠ.. this is your place !
I felt like we were on a deserted island, but we drove to restaurants when we needed to get outâŠ.
Spent a lovely week at Skylarking, kayaking, snorkeling and waking up each morning to a beautiful view. The cottage is very comfortable and private. We had dinner at Daddy Joe's and Unca Genes, very good food! Be sure to rent a 4 wheel drive, driveway is challenging. This was our first visit to the Bahamas, everyone is very friendly and welcoming!
Extreme privacy in a jungle setting- CHECK
Incredible water with abundant marine life- CHECK
Comfortable off grid living on the most beautiful island in the Bahamas- Double CHECK!
Do your research and learn how to access Twin Coves Beach- itâs well worth the journey. Consider somewhat limited eating options and expensive and limited grocery items. We highly recommend taking dry goods with you.
Absolutely our favorite place to visit- if you like some adventure this is the place!
Beautiful setting for this waterfront cottage. It is secluded and private. Quality and well thought out amenities. Nice outdoor shower. Steps to the beach for great snorkeling and kayaking in a secluded bay. The owner was super helpful and an absolute pleasure to meet. If you book this cottage....you won't regret it.
If you want to relax off the grid this is a great spot. The view from the property was really amazing. The gentle bay had perfect sand and crystal clear water perfect for floating around. Keep in mind that this spot is down a gravel road with some elevation and bumps (I recommend an SUV or 4x4). Our only real complaint is that the bed was extra firm and very uncomfortable to us.
This beautiful property has the most idyllic location I've ever seen. Gently tucked away in lush green foliage, perched on a hill overlooking the most beautiful turquoise water and dramatic rocky shoreline. The soothing sounds of the waves coupled with chirping birds and a crisp Eleuthera breeze made this one of the most relaxing stays I've ever had. It has a rustic cabin meets modern beach-cottage feel to it, and I love the privacy and the attention to detail throughout. PG is an absolutely wonderful host, and I can't wait for my next stay.
Located on the ocean with an amazing view of the crystal clear Bahamian water. Stunning sunsets with great kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling. Large private deck with chairs and comfy sofa.
