Hope Town's Top Rental: Beachfront sunsets, AC, free boat dock, & close to town!

Full description: This modern home sits on possibly the most ideal homesite on the island: An actual beach-front house, level lot, sunset view, on the calm side, perfect soft sand, crystal clear swimming waters, good privacy, and right at the top end of Hope Town. Brand new air conditioner, new chef's kitchen, open-concept, and new back-up generator, all newly renovated bedrooms, new flooring throughout (not in the pictures yet!), new stainless steel appliances including a second fridge (comes in quite handy for bigger groups!), and new clothes washer and dryer. Master bedroom with a queen bed, guest bedroom with a queen bed, and a 3rd bedroom which has two full-size beds in a bunk (adult size), and a twin bed (thus sleeps 4 in that room), and a pull out queen size bed in the main room. A 2-minute walk from the North-End Public dock ferry drop-off, free boat docking 80 meters from the house at a newly built dock, and a short bike, boat, or rental golf cart to Hope Town and the restaurants, and yes you can cart through town now and south to the rest of the island's attractions as well. It's only a 15 minute ferry or boat ride over to the dock from the mainland, which is only a 5 minute cab from MHH international airport! Great snorkeling right off the beach, especially around the reefs at the north tip. Some renters have even caught bonefish right in front of the house after seeing them swimming by from the deck! We usually have at least 1 or 2 kayaks, some floaties, a paddleboard, etc., although sometimes they are broken or go missing and it takes a bit to order new ones in from the US. We have a great relationship with the cart rental company, so they will drop off carts right at the ferry or boat dock for you, or at the house if you prefer. We also give you a full info guide, custom-curated by us, for most of the great things around the island, best practices at the house, and lots of other good info, and we email this to you well in advance of your trip so you can plan out all the best things! For restaurants, there are many amazing spots just a short cart or boat ride away including Captain Jack's, Firefly, Abaco Inn, Hope Town Inn & Marina, On Da Beach, Mackey's, Golden Kitchen, and more coming soon! However, keep in mind that one of the nicest meals you will have is BBQing looking over the beach and sea, and for that, there's a huge grocery store in Marsh Harbour near where you land (usually a great spot for a first big shop before you come across), and a small grocery store right in Hope Town. For high season (May to August) please try and book at least 6 consecutive nights; however, if you want to stay less, just inquire here and let me know what you're looking for and I will do my best to make it work!

Beach House
This was our 5th trip to Elbow and this house was perfect ! North end of Island is private so very quiet, with very little traffic . The North dock is also very nice with stern pilings so you don’t have to worry about your personal boat getting beat up by rental boats ! This property has a generator which is very important in the Bahamas.

Wonderful getaway
We had a great 5 night stay at this property. Kevin was fantastic with communication and helping prepare for our trip. He also helped us with some last minute transportation issues we had arise. The house has everything you would need. Plenty of cooking utensils. The kids loved all the water toys on the property. Very close to the settlement and north end dock. We had no issues with dock availability. I highly recommend this property to everyone. Beach behind the house is fantastic and a huge plus. Thanks Kevin for all your help.

Our Time at Beach House...
Was absolutely incredible! The house was clean and spacious for a family of 6. Also, if you walk out the back door you are on the beach in less than 30 steps. My family and I had a great time and would highly recommend staying here to other travelers. We will probably be back again next summer!

Charming beach house
Family of 5 had a wonderful time. The house was cozy and nice, and the beach was perfect. Kids played on kayaks and snorkeled to find sand dollars and starfish all day, everyday. The sunsets were gorgeous, Definitely our favorite time to be out on the beach and walking to the North. We would love to go back again and again.

Great stay in Elbow Cay
My family had a wonderful time at The Beach House on our vacation at Elbow Cay. The house was right on the beach and we enjoyed daily walks especially at low tide. We saw stingrays and dolphins and met great neighbors at the close by houses. We enjoyed our coffee every morning on the wonderful covered porch. It was our favorite thing about the house. We can’t wait to visit again soon !

Awesome Spot
The property provided everything you need to have a wonderful experience in the Abacos. The views are spectacular, particularly the sunsets. The beach out front is perfect for families with young children calm and level. Boat slip was perfect. Host is responsive to all questions should they come up while you are there and the current caretake Ashton was exceptional. Tracked us down in a boat to let us know that he got a tank of gas for the grill!!! Really can't say enough. Enjoy!!

Great Week!
We had 5 guys all over 50 stay for 5 days, primarily to fish. The place was perfect for us. The house is very well finished and well equipped with anyone would even need. It is also at the north end of the island where it is very quiet but close to town. The house is only 3 houses down and within walking distance of the North End Public Dock. We had a 30 foot center console fishing boat and the dock accommodated it perfectly. We were able to hop on and offer very easily. Kevin, the owner, was extremely nice and very communicative throughout the process, from reservation through departure. He also has a wealth of information for anything to do or see on Elbow. I would definitive recommend this house for a family vacation.

The house was very clean and the views from the porch and kitchen are incredible. Very nice living room area with comfy couches and chairs for relaxing.
