Set on cliff top land, Neptune Cove's waterfront estate is like nothing you have seen before. With 400ft of private Caribbean frontage, the property is 40 feet above the crystal waters, providing breathtaking sea views and facing west for the majestic sunsets, enjoyed from every part of the property. Sunrises over the sea are also visible during the winter months!

Neptune Cove is less than a 10 minute walk (or 1 minute drive) from beautiful and pristine Rainbow Bay Beach. Famous for its calm, turquoise waters, Rainbow Beach also has good snorkeling.

Neptune Cove's covered wrap-around veranda offers shaded outdoor living, including a picturesque gazebo, a perfect setting for relaxing with a good book or to gather for sunset cocktails. This area is furnished with sofas, chairs, and tables so you can enjoy the sweeping Caribbean views and gentle sea breezes however you choose to relax.

Steps away from the main and guest houses is our oceanview infinity pool. Relax on lounge chairs on the pool deck or on the bar stools in the pool.

For those who choose to swim in the calm Caribbean waters at the base of the cliff, walk down a short fountain path to a natural alcove in the island’s limestone geological formation. It is here that you will find access into the clear waters of the Caribbean, both in and out of the sea via a short ladder. You will be truly amazed at the variety of fish you will see just snorkeling around the coral which is plentiful and healthy in this part of the Caribbean. In 20 minutes in the water recently, I saw queen angel fish, four-eyed butterfly fish, blue tangs, yellow tangs, spade fish, parrot fish, porkfish, various species of grouper and snapper, and many more.

After the sun sets, gather around the fire pit, furnished with Adirondack chairs, and just cherish the view and topography of the land and sea as the unique natural wonders they are. On a clear night, this is also an excellent spot for watching the firmament and falling stars!

Neptune Cove is located in the community known as Rainbow Bay. Our guests are permitted to use the convenient waterfront tennis court just a few minutes walk away.

The excellent food and drink and nightlife of the Sunset Cove (formerly known as the Rainbow Inn) is also just a 5 minute walk away. Grocery stores and liquor stores are a short drive.

Amenities include high-speed internet with WIFI, AC throughout, private pool, and a gas grill.

Nearby Activities in Governors Harbour

Governor's Harbour is the main town on the island of Eleuthera, with a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is safe and friendly. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks and bikes. There is excellent sightseeing, as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, and a bottomless ocean hole.

Things To Do in Governors Harbour

For most people who make the trip to Eleuthera, the island of freedom, they come for its peace and serenity -- that feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world. One of the best things about Eleuthera is that you'll almost always have a beach to yourself. And the sand is pink! You can go swimming and snorkeling and see stingrays and other aquatic life here. The Glass Window Bridge is one of the coolest spots to visit on the island. The Ocean Hole is a spot you'll never forget.. read more

"Perfection
Beautiful, spacious home on the water. Fully appointed, perfect amount of space for 8 adults. Lisa, the housemanager, went above and beyond and secured us the most amazing chef (Claudine).
Can’t recommend this property highly enough "
Dec 10, 2023 - Jamie S., St. Charles, IL



"Amazing stay
Our stay with 6 adults was amazing. The views are incredible and the house and cottage were very clean. We loved all the different places outside to sit and watch the waves. If you have larger groups, you couldn't find a better place"
Nov 26, 2023 - Les F., Owasso, Oklahoma



"Could Not Have Been Better!!
This grandmother took her family of 10 for a week in Eluthera. The accommodations at Neptune Cove were perfect. Beautiful location and owner was very receptive to our needs. Highly recommend."
Jul 18, 2023 - Terri G., West Monroe, LA



"Great place and stay!
Neptune Cove is a special property on a beautiful setting. To find a house on an out island that is this well appointed and cared for is hard. If you have stayed on many islands you know what I mean. The grounds and pool were kept manicured while we were there. The inside of the house was clean, quiet and comfortable. Well stocked. You can hang here, go 3 mins to the beach, 10 minutes to a beach bar, or 40 mins to Harbor Island or Spanish Wells. The grotto was awesome and good snorkeling right there --we even saw a melon sized octopus immediately off the ladder, as it morphed to look like a coral head. Responsive managers and smiling friendly local help. "

"Fabulous place!
We had a wonderful time at this fabulous home. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Rainbow Bay
We loved the house, location and staff. It was a perfect 10"
Jan 18, 2023 - Jamie A., Whitefish Bay, WI



"Neptune Cove Paradise
Probably the most amazing property we’ve ever stayed at. So many thoughts put into the layout of the space available. The home was well equipped and very clean. The beds were so comfortable and so much space for large families. The caretakers made sure we knew how to work everything and that we could call for any issues. The DIRECTV went out and the were on it immediately and got it fixed asap. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. Fantastic experience!"
Jul 19, 2022 - Terry W., Owens Cross Roads, AL



"Perfect
Neptune’s Cove was perfect for our large family. The location is wonderful being so close to Rainbow Beach, JC andEast and Final. The house was extremely homely and had absolutely everything we needed. The owner and caretakers were quick to respond and didn’t mind answering all our questions. With it being up on a cliff above the ocean there was a nice breeze that helped keep the no seeums away. Highly recommend Neptune’s Cove. Each morning and afternoon 2 sea turtles would visit and we also saw a nurse shark one evening. "
Jul 10, 2022 - Marina M., Newberry, SC



"2 Family Vacation
This property is amazing. Great for 2 families. Plenty of room. The pool and cliff areas were awesome. The gazebo could use an update. Other than that, a fantastic trip."
Jun 20, 2022 - David O., Naples, Florida



"Secluded beauty
Neptune Cove was a nice landing spot for our large family gathering of 12 over the Christmas holiday. The views were unmatched, plenty of outdoor seating areas and lounge chairs. Relatively secluded and a bit of a drive to nearest town so we hired a chef service for many meals. Not walkable to Rainbow bay but a quick drive away. Nice to have so many beach chairs an and floats.
Negatives: Pool was NOT heated so was unusable. Dishwasher and Laundry machines were inconsistent/didn't always work. Things could have been a bit cleaner such as pantry, silverware and outdoor bar area had not seen a broom, clorox wipe or dustpan in a while. Strange smell in the lower gazebo room, with "odor tins" spread around (main house also) attempting to cover up smells.
We have owned and understand that ocean front properties take a beating and that supplies/equipment maintenance on the island is hard to come by, but things were a bit tired.
Plenty of beach towels, bed linens, and a water jug that we had to refill ourselves.
Sunsets and starry skies were magical. Turtles visited on our last day. Playing in the water off the cliff was a treat."

"Perfect Eleuthera vacation home
This home is what you would draw up when thinking of the perfect Caribbean home. The views are amazing. Swim and snorkel with the sea turtles right off the back of the house. Every morning began with coffee in the open gazebo overlooking the ocean and ended with the adult beverage of our choice in the same spot. The best beach on the island is Rainbow Beach and it’s only a mile or so down the road. House was super clean and the owners and caretakers are great hosts. If you want your dream Caribbean vacation, start with this home. You won’t regret it! "

"Neptune's Cove 50th Birthday Celebration
If you are looking for a property that checks all the boxes, then look no further. The property was clean, well stocked, maintained, and the owner and care takers were fantastic. We were looking for a quiet, private, spacious, property where 3 to 4 couples could stretch out and take in all that Eleuthera has to offer. A couple property must were, a pool, access to water, A/C, generator, en suite bathrooms, centrally located, and a view. This property had all of the above and then some. The view is one of the best on the island. The snorkeling out back is world class. The grotto/fire pit with wood provided was just a bonus. We have visited Eleuthera several times and this was the most comfortable property we have stayed in. The pictures do not do this property justice. We struggled to leave the property every day and could not wait to return for a sunset every evening. We can not wait to return to Neptunes Cove. Thank you for sharing this amazing property!"

"Laid back Bahamas Vacation
We were a group of 9 that stayed at this wonderful home. All the room we needed and outdoor enjoyment from the pool to the seaside hangout to watch the sea turtles. Very quiet location but close enough to local restaurants and fantastic beaches. Loved our stay!"
Apr 13, 2022 - Tim B., Clyde, OH



"Great house with great location
We had a group of 10 that stayed for a week. We had a great time and there was plenty of space for everyone. It was pretty windy so we didn’t get to snorkel at the house. No complaints and would rent again."
Mar 29, 2022 - Mike M., Byron, IL



"Friends Birthday trip
Great house, the outdoor space was wonderful. There were 10 adults on our trip, and if we wanted space or privacy it was easy to find at this house. Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to cook, etc.
Beautiful views from the porch, covered gazebo & pool area.
Unfortunately, the ladder into the water was missing a “cap” and we could not put it all the way in the “down” position. So, getting into & out of the water was tricky (we brought our own paddle boards)
We opted for the boat dock by the tennis courts, or Rainbow beach. Which we had to load our rental cars with our gear, which wasn’t a huge deal, but would have been nice not to have to do! The house had beach chairs, and we took them with us everywhere! Screened porches were great for the evening when no see-ums were out. Had a few issues with A/C, fridge & hot water not working, but the caretakers were quick to respond. Fridge never really got fixed- but A/C & hot water did. TV’s didn’t work in the guest house, but in the main house we were able to watch. Not that you need a TV I’m the Bahamas, but some of our group likes to watch in the am/pm.
We had a chef come in and cook for us one evening and she knew the house/kitchen well, it was wonderful! Master bed was very comfy, Friends were not as happy with gazebo suite bed, or guest house bed.
Beautiful sunrise/ sunsets on the water right out the patio/veranda area.

"Perfect vacation rental
We stayed at Neptune's Cove in February 2022. We loved it. The rental had so much space and the layout worked well for us. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay (plenty of towels, kitchen was very well stocked, etc.). The location of the house was not too far from town and the views were amazing. We would stay here again!"
Feb 24, 2022 - Stacy S., Farmington, MN



"Wanna trip of a lifetime?
This was an amazing place to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Every picture displayed on vrbo was completely accurate plus more. Morning sunrises, evening sunsets, great snorkeling below the cliff, and beautiful people at every turn. Blessed beyond our imagination."

"Our week at Neptune Cove
The location of this property is stunning, and the "on-line" photos make it look really impressive.... However, the property is showing age, and we had some issues with water pressure in some of the showers, lights that didn’t work, a screen door that was not able to be used due to poor maintenance, small things, etc. etc. The day we arrived the pool was dirty-not nearly as pristine as in the photos. On the second day the pool guy came and cleaned the pool. While the kitchen had a good supply of normal things, many were not in good repair (handles loose, etc.) and some things were missing like a cookie sheet, pizza pan, good can opener, and muffin pan. Frying pans, for example, had not been well maintained and needed to be cleaned prior to use. Some utensils in drawers needed to be cleaned prior to use as they were greasy and had food remnants on them. The dishwasher and the clothes washer were both a bit sketchy in operation. The Internet service is very suspect....might work for several minutes then seemed to be disconnected for 5 - 10 minutes. Little annoyances here and there. Another example... While there was a horseshoe pit, there was only one competition horseshoe and one "real" horse shoe so the pit was not really useful. Considering the price we paid for the week, the "little" annoyances seemed more annoying! The sea water was pristine at the property and we were able to swim and snorkel. Sunsets from open Gazebo were awesome to watch. Plenty of outdoor seating around the pool, in the gazebo, by the water, in the veranda, and in the lawn. Guests could space themselves and do their own thing... sunning, reading, napping, etc. etc. The weather for our week was spectacular. Watch out for the "no-see-ums" or you will be itching all week! Take repellent."

"Dream vacation!
We had an amazing time at Neptunes Cove. The home was very well outfitted and very clean with comfortable beds in every room. Brenda, Mathew, Lisa and Chando were all very helpful in making our stay very comfortable. We cannot wait to come back! "
Nov 08, 2021 - Dawn M., Saint Augustine, FL



"Best Relaxing Spot Ever!!!
Great Snorkeling, you can sit and relax anywhere on the property and the people are friendly. Highly recommend this rental and we will be back."
Oct 27, 2021 - , Hendersonville, TN



"Beautiful home away from home
The home was the perfect place to stay for a getaway. The view was amazing. The beds were so comfortable. There was plenty of space throughout the house for the 8 of us to spread out. Everything was clean upon arrival and everyone was so nice. I definitely recommend! "
May 19, 2021 -



"A Truly Spectacular Stay
Neptune Cove was absolute perfection. The setting and view is wonderful. The house was fully stocked with everything you need for a fabulous stay--from the gourmet kitchen to the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. The pool was perfect and the snorkeling in front of the property was the best we have experienced in multiple trips to the island. This house is perfect for a large family or group of friends. No detail was forgotten. We had a the time of our lives and hope to return very soon. The location of the house is central to everything in Eleuthera and we enjoyed both staying at home and exploring the beaches and sites around the island. We saw dolphins and turtles right in front of the property. A++++++++"

"The Delightful Neptune Cove
The accommodations at the Neptune Cove were stellar! Well laid out for a large multi family group, plenty of common space, and areas to enjoy time apart from the group. The home was spotless, fully stocked, and grounds were perfectly manicured. Location is very convenient. "
Apr 06, 2020 - Erika B., White plains, Ny



"Awesome Eleuthera Vacation
Absolutely loved everything about this trip. The house was so wonderful we didn’t even want to leave. From the management company to the owner and the caretakers were so friendly and very responsive! I have rented in many different destinations and this was by far the easiest to plan. Plus the home is absolutely gorgeous. We wished we would have stayed longer. I would highly recommend this property. The people were amazing as well. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!! A must stay!"
