Secluded waterfront cottage

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.

Stunning!
Absolutely stunning! The view, the water, complete solitude. I echo what others have said, definitely rent an SUV, I don’t think a car could clear the ruts in the road leading up to the cottage. If you aren’t a fan of nature, bugs, crabs in the outdoor shower this is not for you. But it is so beautiful, take the SUP or kayaks to the beach to the right, or just float in your own bay. One day we had high winds and it was very wavy and the water was high, the other clear skies and clear water and calm seas so we could just float on our backs. Water shoes are helpful just to get in and out but when we were there they had a bucket full of them so you may not need to bring them yourselves. As wasteful Americans we do like a cold room and with the air conditioning on the economy setting and the ceiling fan on high we were every comfortable sleeping at night even though it was very hot outside. There are some left over sunscreen and bug sprays, and a few spices and coffee in the kitchen. I would recommend bringing a beach towel. There are some smaller Turkish towels but it’s nice to have a little more. We were there in May and not all restaurants are open when they say they will be as it’s shoulder season. I believe you can always count on the cove restaurant at the hotel just down the road to be open, although it is pricey. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing Cottage in North Eleuthera
My wife and I booked the cottage to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. It was an amazing place to stay and we both enjoyed our time here. The view from the porch can't be beat. The ocean access here was nice and you are only a short drive from some really amazing beaches. I was a little hesitant at first about the cottage being off the grid, but I'm thankful that it was as we had power and water the whole time, while Gregory Town was without power for a few days during our trip. I can't recommend this place enough. If you are thinking about staying here, then go ahead and book it, you won't regret it. The road to the cottage is a little rough in spots so I would recommend an SUV over a sedan (at one point we were driving a Subaru and made it just fine).

Beautiful Secluded Get Away
Property is beautiful and secluded. As people before have said, it is best to have a higher SUV type vehicle, the hill before the parking spot is a pretty good hill. House is perfect, off grid, quiet and had everything we needed. We didnt use the AC but had no issues with anything being off grid. Water access was easy for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling (go right from the stairs for shallow water and left for deeper water and more fish/coral). If you are looking for a laid back vacation this is the place for you, if you are looking for resort type living pick another island. Thank you Petagay for everything and we hope to be back soon!

Tranquil Escape
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.

Can't Ask for More
Skylarking is a very special property, and our time went by much too fast. The location is ideal from the perspective of convenience to groceries, restaurants, beaches and ELH. Regardless of where you stay always rent some type of SUV. You'll definitely need one here. The property is beautiful. It feels like the stone path is leading you into the jungle until you arrive at the house and experience the view of the Caribbean below. The views from this house are breathtaking. The house is essentially one large room. There is a tiny, but well-laid-out and functional kitchen at the back. The main room is airy and spacious. We spent most of the week with the floor-to-ceiling glass doors open, so the large deck felt like an extension of the living space. I slept like a baby the entire week between the fresh air and the sound of the Carribean below. The bathroom is quite large and there's space to store empty luggage under the vanity. The only shower is just outside, and other than the occasional bird or hermit crab, it is completely private. For an off-grid property, the water pressure and temperature were the best we've experienced on the island. While we loved the house, we also spent a lot of time on the little beach and in the water. We realized we could have stayed put for the entire week and have never been bored between snorkeling and paddling. If you're looking for a hotel, Skylarking is not for you, but if you're looking for unplugged time in paradise, it's perfection.

Wonderful vacation!
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. It’s a great place, loved every minute!
