Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures did not truly indicate how wonderful the house is... It was truly a fabulous house to spend a vacation on Elbow Cay! The lush garden with tiered walkway & fountain; saltwater pool with floats provided; covered porches; views to beat postcard photos; watching the boats coming and going from either porch or pool...it is ideall!! The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked. We were so surprised that the Owner provides condiments/spices/sugar/coffee filters/olive was wonderful to find these things! Gorgeous house...quality, decor, linens...we were amazed and very happy with this choice!! The settlement is lovely, blooming, quaint...walking everywhere is so convenient. Groceries and dining around the corner! The golf cart is parked only 5 minutes away because you do not drive into the settlement - easy access when we needed to ride to Firefly or Abaco Inn. Friends were in the house across the alleyway so they had the dock for our boat. Perfect! The house manager, Kristina, was great. We will be back!! Five stars!!! 🌟
