Welcome to The Boat House – Where History, Harbor, and Lighthouse Converge
In the very heart of Hope Town’s cherished settlement—where pastel cottages, winding lanes, and the rhythms of island life have endured for generations—stands The Boat House, a thoughtfully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath sanctuary designed for those who long to be immersed in authentic Bahamian charm.
Here, you are not merely near Hope Town…you are part of it. Step outside your door and find yourself within effortless walking distance of every essential pleasure: beloved restaurants and cafés, quaint shops, grocery stores, public docks, and the daily hum of village life. And just minutes away, the turquoise brilliance of one of the most breathtaking beaches on earth awaits—soft sand, endless horizon, and the gentle Atlantic whispering against the shore.
Property Highlights
- 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms - Sleeps up to 4 guests - Completely renovated with modern comforts and coastal finishes - Two first-floor guest rooms, each with its own private balcony - Jack-and-Jill shared bathroom on the first floor - Open-concept upper level with panoramic harbor-facing living spaces - Fully equipped kitchen with brand-new appliances - Second full bathroom with shower on the upper floor - Lush garden and yard for quiet moments outdoors - ¾ outdoor shower perfect after a beach day - Backup generator for peace of mind - Pets considered on a case-by-case basis
An easy stroll to restaurants, shops, stores, docks, and beaches
Inside, The Boat House offers a calm, airy retreat. The first floor welcomes guests with two serene bedrooms, each opening to a private balcony—ideal for savoring the salt-kissed morning air. The shared Jack-and-Jill bath provides quiet practicality and comfort.
Ascend to the second floor and the true magic unfolds. Light pours through wide windows, illuminating an open living space where kitchen, dining, and lounge blend seamlessly. From the upper balcony, the view is nothing short of cinematic: the harbor stretching out like a watercolor, and the world-famous candy-striped lighthouse rising unobstructed before you—both day and night—a living symbol of Hope Town’s soul.
After an afternoon of beachcombing or boating, return to the gentle hush of the gardens, or step into the outdoor shower and let the warm breeze remind you why island time feels different—slower, softer, sweeter.

We had a wonderful time. The home was centrally located. We rented a jeep so were able to enjoy the entire area. One beach was just over the hill the other we took the jeep. The home was very clean and we enjoyed dinner on the outside patio one evening.

Wonderful Experience
The location was perfect- we enjoyed the beautiful view of the light house and harbor every morning over coffee, and the close proximity of the lower public dock for our boat couldn’t have been more convenient. We were steps away from Captain Jacks Restaurant and the grocery store and about a 3 minute walk to the beach. The home and grounds were well kept, clean and comfortable. My son enjoyed the outdoor shower stall every night! Baker and his caretaker team were wonderful to work with!

We had a very smooth reservation, arrival and stay at The Boat House. Elbow Cay Properties contacted us several times before and during our stay to give us arrival instructions and to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. The house is charming, comfortable and had almost everything that we needed. We could have used a few blankets for beds (as opposed to throws for the couch) on the first couple of nights that were cool. We appreciated the towels and kitchen gear. Some softer/lower pillows would have been nice. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and recommend The Boat House for a group of 4!

Boathouse
Stayed here for a month so opinions may be different from short term vacationers.
The Boathouse is a great 2 bedroom house with beautiful nautical decor and quality furnishings throughout. Great architectural details and quality construction. Interior furnishings very nice and support from Elbow Cay Rentals spectacular. Very clean and all accessories provided. Nice sunset view from corner of deck.
Nice location - steps to ferry dock, Vernon's grocery store, Jack's liquor (best prices in Abacos), and 1 block walk to one of the best beaches in the Bahamas. Unfortunately steps to town's only pickleball court with noise 3 hours every morning.
1 mile hike to bigger grocery stores and On Da Beach bar. Hope Town resort has free shuttle boat in the harbor.
We rented a boat for a week which really adds to the experience. Probably better to do 3 days at a time to minimize bad weather days.
Negatives:
Should be aware that it's an 'upside down' house so good workout going up/down steps.
Unfortunate monster 3 story house 10' in front of Boathouse blocking most of the harbor view. 2 A/C compressors which seem to run almost continuously since their windows are never open. And continuous construction going on with it while we were there. To be fair, many of the in town properties don't have views but should be priced accordingly.
4 nice decks and a patio but almost total lack of useable outdoor furniture. We improvised by moving beach chairs around to whichever area was out of th

Exactly What We Were Looking For!
We are in Hope Town on our boat and rented The Boathouse for our children and grandchildren as we celebrated New Year and some milestone birthdays. We could not have had a better house!! It is perfectly situated for the beach, the town, the dock, and the grocery store. It is spotless and very easy to keep clean. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and the living area upstairs is very well laid out and functions very well. The balconies provided extra space for "alone" time, and there is a gorgeous view of the lighthouse. We loved the way it is decorated - simple but neither sparse nor cluttered. This might be the last time we come on our boat - and we will definitely try and get this house for our future visits.

The property was wonderful, and great location to public dock. A private dock would relive some stress. A generator would be nice for power outages. The rule of no golfcarts in town was painful there is so much to see and do on this Cay. Lisa was great and very helpful. We will be back.

Home away from home, but better view!
Loved the Boathouse! Great location. Easy access to beach, biking, shops, restaurants, water activities. Loved waking up in the mornings and having coffee on the deck overlooking the lighthouse. House was very comfortable, 2 full bathrooms and the house was well equipped for us to enjoy a home away from home.
The owner was immediately attentive to our inquiries and arrival experience. The property manager was welcoming, accommodating and helpful. Both were greatly appreciated.
Hope to return next year!

This was a last minute trip to join 4 other couples who were staying on the north end of the island. The location of this house was perfect for grabbing breakfast, dinner, shopping. It was footsteps to the ferry dock.
The inside was immaculate. Lisa the housekeeper was great and checked on us to make sure we didn’t need anything throughout our stay.
It was only 2 of us but it’s plenty of room for 4.
We loved everything about it and will be back!
