About this property

Dunwanderin-Historic Cottage in the Heart of Hope Town w/dock

A charming cottage in the heart of Hope Town settlement, Dunwanderin showcases its late 1800s origin yet is fully renovated and modernized with all desirable amenities. Nestled within lush native vegetation on quiet Lover’s Lane, only steps away are a beautiful ocean beach, the scenic harbor and famous lighthouse, quaint shops, eateries, grocery store, public docks, and its very own boat slip.

With friendly locals and a tranquil, family-friendly environment, Elbow Cay offers an alternative to the cruise ships, mega-resorts, “compounds”, and crowds of many Bahamian destinations.
Key Features:
• 2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Bathrooms + superb outdoor shower – ideal accommodations for 4 adults. 2 younger guests can be accommodated for an additional fee on a sofa bed in the TV room.
• Harborside boat slip accommodates most any outboard
• Very comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated
• Well-equipped kitchen with chef’s cookware and appliances
• Fully automated backup generator (very important!)
• Cistern water filtered and UV sterilized
• Fiber optic internet/Wi-Fi, streaming and cable TV
• Close by (truly!) -harbor, boat slip, ferry dock, pickleball courts, restaurants, groceries, ocean beach, laundromat, bike rentals, gift hops, liquor store, museum, property manager
• Excellent reviews- see what actual guests have to say about Dunwanderin

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.
