Relaxing Week with family and friends

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely love the house and the location. Conveniently located steps from the best beach on the island and a short stroll to docks, restaurants and shops. Another bonus is you are close to Vernon’s for homemade pies and bread. Walk to Captain Jack’s for dinner or hop on the complimentary ferry over to the Hope Town Inn and Marina for the bar, restaurant and pool, It’s so easy.The house had plenty of space for us to spread out for our family and friends that we had with us for the week. The golf cart parking lot is nearby as well so not having the cart in town was not a problem at all. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and listening to the waves at night. The top of the dune right in front of the house has a great bench to sit on and watch the sunrise over the ocean and in the other direction the sunsets over the lighthouse with picturesque views of the quaint town. The snorkeling on the reef from the beach in front of the house was really nice. Can’t wait to get back!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfectly located in the heart of town. The beach is right across the street and is truly a beautiful view from the overlook. There is a mother in Law suite on the grounds and has a generator. The generator did come in handy for us so that was a key bonus. Home was spotless and had everything we needed for our week's stay. We truly enjoyed meandering the streets and was never a far walk back from home. The Post Office ferry is very close as well. The staff were extremely accommodating and picked us up from the ferry when we arrived, and took our bags to store in their office for the day as we had a late departure. Would recommend staying here again, and using the Property team, too! Thanks so much again!!

Feeling blue? Maybe it’s time think green... GREEN SHUTTERS

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family has been going to Elbow Cay for YEARS. Yet, we always stayed on the island outside of Hope Town. We decided to do something different this year and stayed in Hope Town proper. It was AMAZING! The house was just right. Mornings on the beach just across the street for sunrises. Evenings on the porch to sip a cocktail and watch the passersby. Convenience to everything in Hope Town and the rest of the island. Elbow Cay Properties was always at the ready to assist before, during our stay and with our departure. I highly recommend Elbow Cay Properties and the sweet, well appointed Green Shutters house.

Charming home located in the heart of Hopetown

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Green Shutters for a week in June/2003. The house is well located in the settlement, and it fits perfectly a family of four. We did not use the extra room outside but it's ideal for one extra couple. The outside room has a bit of a smell, but it will probably go away if you leave the windows open for a day. The house is very charming, well decorated, pretty much like the photos. It has all the appliances you need, plus extra towels to take when boating/going to the beach. The team at Elbow Cay was very helpful, I would definitely work with them again and can't wait to be back in Hopetown!

Wonderful Family Stay at Green Shutters

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four (myself, husband, 2yr and 4yr old daughters) rented Green Shutters for 5 days. It was perfect for our short stay. Location is ideal, right in the heart of town and in walking distance to everywhere. It was so easy to pop over to Cap'n Jacks or the beach or to our golf cart. Our girls loved sitting on the front porch in the evenings, saying hi to passerby's and playing while we sipped on our happy hour wines. Inside, the layout was great for our family. Spacious areas for the girls to play and despite all our beach gear never felt like it got crowded. Plenty of pots & pans for cooking. A previous commenter stated well stocked, which it is for cleaning supplies, but no spices of any kind, just salt & pepper (which is to be expected). Mattresses were comfy, pillows were thick and stiff so we stole some off the couches for better sleep. Having a generator during our stay in July when the power continuously knocked out was such a treat. AC blasted strong! Some loose tiles in the master bedroom that need repair but didn't impact our stay at all. All in all, it was a perfect stay and we would rent again in a heartbeat!

Both houses had cold AC and hot water. Just out the front door is a sitting spot to take in all sunrises and sunsets.

The beach is just over the hill in front of the house, you can't see the water from the house (but you can hear the waves!)We were six people and used the two bedrooms in the house and the guest house (which is just out the front door. The guest house bathroom is a bit small but nothing wrong with it. The main house has a very large, spacious living room area with lots of places to sit and relax. The front porch was big with ceiling fans.The staff was very helpful in getting us checked in after a long flight delay.Absolutely no complaints about this house. We had such a great week, sad to leave.

Fantastic Location with a Few Suggestions

You cannot beat this location on Elbow Cay. A short walk to Vernon's grocery store, Captain Jack's restaurant, and liquor store in the middle of Hope Town. A very short walk over the park hill in front takes you right to the beach. The bench at the top of the small hill is nice for morning coffee. (the small hill was a cholera burial site during the 1850's) The house itself is very nicely remodeled - single floor with a large great room (kitchen, dining area, living room, and half bath) and two bedrooms that connect to a large bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other, two singles. The next door cottage is also nice with a bedroom and bathroom. The only caveat is that there was no hot water during our stay (Feb 2022). Our family was in the Bahamas for a wedding. Showers in the main house were at best lukewarm. Showers in the cottage were always cold. This may not be an issue during warmer times of the year. There was also a lot of traffic on the road in front due to all the construction post Hurricane Dorian (this may drop off during the main tourist season). The rental provides some soap and TP, but no shampoo and the hair dryer did not work. The wifi internet was fast (60-70 mB) in the main house, but does not reach the cottage. All in all, we would definitely stay here again.

Such a great cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our two daughters and my husband and I stayed at Green Shutters during a family reunion. The cottage was very clean and shipshape and there were plenty of dishes and pots and pans for us to cook with. Our daughters stayed in the house and reported the beds were very comfortable, and my husband and I stayed in the separate and comfortable mini-cottage, where we had our own bathroom. We often used the outdoor shower when coming back from swimming in the ocean, just a short walk over the hill (aka the cemetery) across the street. Two small hiccups -- the password for the internet didn't work, and the water pump malfunctioned -- were quickly fixed. We were impressed to learn that Green Shutters sheltered 75 people after Hurricane Dorian hit in 2019.
