Driving up to the big house on the hill is a great way to start your vacation. The house is situated on the quieter North End of town, overlooking the beautiful beach out back and the harbor out front. The surrounding grounds are pristine and well kept. The house was clean, well stocked with the necessary gear to get you through the week. It's also large enough to accommodate the 8 people it says it can, very comfortably. Having stayed before on Elbow Cay a few times, I knew what I was getting into with the cart not being able to cross through town situation. If its a big deal for you, get two carts (one on each end). Or simply get the restaurants to pick you up from the Post Office in town.
The boat dock is in great shape, and allowed for safe/proper docking and easy access across the road from the house. There is a great breeze on the top of the house, with all the doors and windows and fans there is no need for AC.
Andre, the caretaker was easy to communicate with and helped pick us up at the lower dock to transport us and our luggage/groceries to the house. We only wish the home had some beach chairs and possibly more cleaning supplies. We did our best to make due with what the home had. Not a huge deal though. We really enjoyed some of the board games and puzzles to pass the morning time. Good WiFi and phone to communicate as you wish. I wish the screen on the VHF worked, it was practically useless without it, that would have made it a lot easier to communicate with some of the vendors around the area but other than that it was such a wonderful stay, we will definitely look to return again!!
