Why the Owner Chose Hopetown
We chose to build a home on Elbow Cay because it is such a unique and relaxing experience. It is truly the most laid back and relaxing time for us to enjoy family and friends. The island is warm and welcoming, the beaches have the most beautiful powdery sand you will ever see and the beautiful aquamarine of the Sea of Abaco and Atlantic Ocean are truly something to behold. The fishing, diving and snorkeling are all exceptional. There is something for everyone with so many other activities to chose from.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our favorite times are loading up the golf cart with kids and a picnic and going to Tahiti Beach where the water is so crystal clear and the sand so powdery white and we enjoy exploring and snorkeling. Later that day we are picked up by boat and we go over to Cracker Peas and have lunch to get a taste of local flavor. We run into some friends and go tie up and take a swim where we find so many fish and wildlife swimming around the coral heads and a huge stingray paddles by. Later that afternoon we head home by boat and we have fresh lobster for dinner and enjoy a beautiful sunset, nice conversation and a good glass of wine and we are so tired from our busy day that we all hit the sack and can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!

I WOUL ENJOY LIVING IN THIS HOUSE
Guest: Dan(Boca Raton, Florida)
Date of Stay: 07/03/10 Review Submitted: 07/21/10
This house is easy to sum up - it is one of the best properties on Elbow. The quality of the home and furnishings far surpass any other rental property we have seen on Elbow or for that matter anywhere. We have rented vacation houses before, but none compare to this one. I could repeat everything in the previous reviews and will say that all the great comments above are very deserved. The layout of this house is perfect for entertaining. My wife and I shared the house with our two sons and two friends they brought with them. The house can easily accommodate 8 and still offer privacy since each bedroom is separated from the others and has its own bath. If you are bringing your own boat, the location is perfect. Sea Spray is just across the street. I could look out our bedroom balcony and see my boat. I hope to be able to come back to Elbow next year, and this is the house we will stay at.

Unbelievable Vacation!!!!

Date of Stay: 06/06/10 Review Submitted: 06/17/10
I would like to start off by telling you the problem with this house.. The problem is you will not want to leave and after staying here you will want to renovate your house. The house is absolutely beautiful, we have rented a dozen or so houses from VRBO and this is by far the best one. The location is awesome, white sound is a great place, you can fish there in a boat, or walk the flats looking for bonefish, or fish from you private dock. If all of that fails zip across to Cracker P's and play darts and drink Shotguns all afternoon.. Walk to Sea Spray for happy hour or dinner.. It could not have been any better, plus the Wilma the caretaker and her husband are awesome, they took care of our every request right away..The house has about 6 different decks that you can sit on and enjoy cocktails.. however we always found ourselves on the kitchen deck watching amazing sunsets every evening and then later made our way to the 3rd story deck for some great star gazing. The house has a back-up generator for when the power goes out, not IF the power goes out, but when the power goes out.. We heard stories at the bar of people just sweltering in the heat because they had no power.. We almost felt bad that we had the generator and cold A/C... but not that bad... I could write on and on about how this house is amazing, but you really just need to check it out for yourself.. You willl love it..

A VERY HAPPY CAMPER!

WOW! Stayed here in May ’10 with three other couples and had our best vacation in years! This house handled eight adults with ease, and the location couldn’t be better. Bring sun screen and rent a mask and snorkel. ..Way better snorkeling than the Keys. You can beach and snorkel at the house, or visit one of the many spectacular reefs in the area by boat. With both beach and bay bars & restaurants within crawling distance, each couple felt free to do their own thing. Rent a golf cart to explore the quaint island. The photo possibilities in Hope Town are priceless. Don’t miss the grouper and grilled vegetable sandwich at “On Da Beach” (cooked in front of you by “mama”) or the home made ice cream at the “Sugar Shack”! The locals treated us like family, from arrival to departure. Only complaint: with so many things to see and do, a week went by way too fast! We never even ventured back across the bay to Marsh Harbor…except to catch the plane home. Another time, I’d like to give the fishing a try. With your own private dock (and a big marina within steps) logistics would be a breeze. If only a tenth of the stories from the bill-fishermen at the bar are true…. Don’t tell too many folks…they’ll be in the way when (not if) we go back!

THE Out-Island ground zero for beach, boat, and bikinis

Date of Stay: 05/16/10 Review Submitted: 06/10/10
Location, location, location! Gorgeous brand new home, Oceanfront, with dock behind! There's nothing better than to have a rental boat for islandhopping, snorkeling, etc., and it's even better anchored at your back door. Walk to Abaco Inn or the Marina, and golf cart a few minutes to charming Hopetown or Tahiti Beach. No surprise the VIPs try to keep Elbow Cay a secret.

This home is one of the best properties we have ever vacationed in! Besides its stunning views, it has a great convenient location, terrific layout for privacy and entertaining. With both the Sound and the ocean at your front door, it is paradise. We highly recommend it and hope to return many times in the future.
