Host profile image

We "discovered" Elbow Cay in 2013 thanks to some Close Friends. We decided to buy an Oceanfront LOT here and found a great piece of Land and wonderful builder.
With his help, we designed a 6 Bedroom, 6 bath house with the Living Space upstairs.
We think it turned out great. We believe this 1/2 Mile Stretch of Homes just north of the Abaco Inn , will become the Creme de la creme of properties centrally located on Elbow Cay Island.

Why they chose this property

We LOVE HOPETOWN and it's a great place to vacation with your family and friends and Have GREAT FUN, Swim, Snorkel, Fish, Eat, Sleep, Drink and Relax...and .explore the island in a safe environment. Most of the Wonderful Islands Nearby are GREAT places to visit as well! Guana cay, Man of Way and Scotland Cay! but, bring your boat or rent one for the week!

What makes this property unique

Large King Beds and Amazing Views from the upstairs decks, Living Rooms and Kitchen and Bedrooms.
Beautiful Beaches and Great Views East, South and West to White Sound and Marsh Harbor. And the most Picturesque WATER you'll ever see., It is a Fishing and boaters paradise
