Better than perfect

This house exceeded our expectations! From the moment we pulled into the driveway we knew it was perfect. Anders was there to greet us and let us know all of the necessary info. The grounds were beautiful with many spots to relax. The inside of the house was much bigger in person. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. The a/c and fans kept the house at the perfect temperature. We watched a beautiful sunrise every morning from the couch! Tahiti beach was a short walk (and an even shorter golf cart ride) where we saw beautiful sunsets. Barbro was helpful with golf cart recommendations and very quick with responses. This house is true gem and we cannot wait to return.

Getaway for two

Great location on elbow cay, walkable to Tahiti beach and boat dock, or a short golf cart ride. Host was nearby and available if needed. House is small and quaint, but has everything you need for two. Great view of the Atlantic Ocean to watch the sunrise each day or look up at the stars at night.

Perfect place for us

This property is very private with lush landscaping ,very well maintained and off the grid. Was nice not to worry when we would hear the generators running on other houses due to the frequent power outages on Elbow, We had solar power. AC worked well and important point for us was the dock in Dorros cove as we always rent a boat.. Perfect for 2 people

Winter getaway

Great little place. Perfect for 2 people. Tahiti beach is a short walk and even shorter golf cart ride away. We literally didn’t have a single issue during our 10 day stay and never felt like we needed more space. The hammock was a great way to spend a few hours taking an afternoon nap. The solar power system worked great as did the AC units. Anders was a pleasure to deal with and all communication was quick. Looking forward to staying here again.

Wonderful! 😊

The property was perfect for what we needed; perfect for two people. Location was fantastic! Far enough away from the busyness of town and just a short golf cart ride into town. Views from the property are beautiful! Various sitting areas are great for different times of the day. Solar power worked flawlessly. Bed was very comfortable. Dock slip was great. Tahiti beach is a short walk and gorgeous! 😍 Owners were very quick to respond and helpful with all of our tourist inquiries. Definitely recommend it.

Wonderful!

Lukka exceeded our expectations! The windows and setting were moe beautiful than the pictures showed. Anders and a Barbro were very attentive and friendly. We loved the fact we were off the grid and had solar panels. 1 hr a day for generator and everything ran all day. Good AC and bed was comfortable. The kitchen was nice for us as we ate dinner on the wraparound porch 4 nights! We will be back!

This place deserves 1000 stars!

Before we ever left, we knew this was going to be a great experience. We had been communicating with Barbro for over a month, and she answered all of our questions, and even went out of her way to find us contacts for transportation and fishing guides. We had a run of bad luck trying to get to the property, mostly due to the airline, and we weren’t able to make it until the day after we were set to arrive. The hosts were extremely accommodating. When we arrived late, we were shown around the property and how to use everything. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed and wanted. The views were spectacular and the house was very well appointed. It was very easy to get into town on a golf cart and it was only a short walk (or golf cart ride) to the boat launch with a designated slip. The hosts even offered to contact the airline about trying to collect our luggage, which was lost, and when I left my credit card on another island, they picked it up for me and kept it safe. I can’t say enough good things about this listing. The house was perfect and the hosts were gracious and extremely accommodating. If I could give 1000 stars I would.

Amazing week

We rented this vacation property for our 40th wedding anniversary. At first we were unsure about renting a solar powered home but this little home did not disappoint. We had all the conveniences we needed - ac, hot water and an incredible view each day to watch the sun rise. It is equipped with a back up generator should it be needed. I think it came on briefly one morning while we were there. The home was steps from one of the most beautiful beaches in the Abaco’s. The home is well appointed with lots of towels and kitchen stuff. It has a wraparound deck to enjoy meals. We were able to tie our boat up at the dock close by for daily adventures out on the water. The owners were always responsive to our questions and went above and beyond to make our stay special! We would highly recommend this home for a couple. We look forward to going back again. Thank you Anders and Barbro for sharing your treasure with us! The Browns- South Carolina

Beautiful bungalow!

Perfect stay at this cute bungalow for two. Had all the necessities, and a really gorgeous view for the sunrise yoga. Relaxing in the hammock in the afternoon was fantastic. Bed was very comfortable and the proximity to the dock and Tahiti beach was a plus. Host was great with communication. 100% would come back!

Almost perfect getaway

I loved this retreat and would definitely stay there again. It is perfect for a couple in many ways. It is nice and has a good water view from the porch, living area, and kitchen. Only a few things would make it even better for me. I would prefer a regular coffee maker rather than espresso maker. I’d love a toaster for Vernon’s homemade bread. Also some window covers in the bedroom and living room would be nice. My husband and I had to wear sunglasses inside on sunny mornings. But otherwise it was great!

About the host

Hosted by Barbro Pilch

I discovered Hope Town and Elbow Cay over ten years ago, and immediately fell in love with this friendly Island Paradise. My brother and I are both avid travelers who always prefer a home to a hotel. We will do everything possible for you to enjoy our beautiful island home.

Why they chose this property

The views from the house, and the private, quiet setting is truly special!

What makes this property unique

After Dorian destroyed our neighborhood and did serious damage to our house, we have rebuilt using solar power. Being environmentally friendly in this fragile eco system is essential for all of us to be able to enjoy the islands for years to come.
