About the owners: William and Lynn are from New Bern, NC and honeymooned on Elbow Cay in 1982. They designed, built, and maintained a popular 6-bedroom oceanfront rental house just south of town for 25 years before falling in love with and purchasing Dunwanderin. They take great pride in keeping the house in excellent condition and are constantly making improvements. Sharing their island home with renters when they are absent is their pleasure.
** Parking not available. Parking for this house is located adjacent to the Post Office dock just a short walk away.
