About The Owners

Harris Cove Cottages is owned and operated by Yvotte and Elicia Brits and their three sons—Johan (10), Pieter (9), and Daniel (4).

Originally from South Africa, the Brits family has lived in the United States for the past 10 years. Their lives are rooted in faith, family, and a calling to serve others. They have been blessed to participate in mission trips across the globe, sharing the Gospel and serving communities worldwide.

Harris Cove Cottages is an extension of that calling—a place where hospitality is ministry and guests are welcomed with care, respect, and gratitude.

Their guiding verse is Galatians 2:20:

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
