A Beautiful Place!

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: We loved staying at Cookie on the Rocks. The North end of Abaco is quiet and laidback. Just what we wanted! The house is beautiful and well appointed with plenty of towels (including beach towels) and sheets. The kitchen is equipped to cook with plenty of kitchen utensil and cookware. We had a good experience getting groceries delivered before we arrived through Sunkiss Priovisioning (). It was worth the provisioning fee because when we arrived in the afternoon we didn’t have to go grocery shopping and could relax and enjoy the views. We ordered water through celestial water () and had a 7 gallon container of drinking water delivered. (I would have done this ahead of time if I had known about it. Also we didn’t have to use a bunch of plastic single use bottles). Celestial picked up their container at the end of our week and issued a container refund. In the house instructions, it does say you can drink the water, but warns for some it may upset their stomachs. We decided to play it safe and order water. There is a coffee machine and a French press for coffee people (like me). Coffee selection is minimal(think Folgers) at the grocery stores (Vernon’s and LVA convenience) so if you like good coffee you might consider bringing your own. We rode our bikes back and forth to Hope Town, which worked out great. We rented them at Hope town Canvas. We rented a boat through Island Marine and moored it at the north end dock. Overall we had a great stay. The house is beautiful. Elbow Cay Properties were great, too. The beach out in the front of the house is turquoise on top of turquoise. I would recommend doing a little stargazing too. A wonderful trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the spot: beautiful gardens create privacy. The extra bedrooms are perfect when we have guests. Only suggestions: I realize everyone is not as respectful of property like we are, but a couple beach chairs and lounges would be nice. I realize the need to protect from erosion, but we had a worker there shoveling sand on the beach every day we were there, although he tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. But overall, great! We plan on coming back. We really appreciated Cliona bring the chairs and lounges. Thank you.

Amazing Place with great Beach Views and Snorkeling

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: Wow, this was an amazing beach house. North End, quiet almost private beach. 6 minute golf cart ride to town. Great lush reefs for snorkeling offshore just a couple hundred yards straight out from house. Sunrise over the ocean every morning. Loved the covered outdoor area where we played games every night. Kitchen was well stocked. Air worked great. Generator did cut on once, but we never even noticed the power glitch. When you enter the house your are treated to stunning views anyway you look towards the front. We did get gate keys from Hope town council so that we could access everything at the south end. Loved On Da Beach Bar and really had a great time down at Tahiti Beach, Cuda punch from the Thirsty Cuda pontoon boat beach bar. Capt. Jacks multiple times and fresh baked breads at Vernon's Grocery. Didn't have much luck at Munchies ( they were always out of everything ...). Restock booze at Capt. Jacks Liq/beer store. Hopetown Lighthouse and Hopetown Harbor Inn. My wife and I, along with daughter/husband and 14 year old granddaughter, each had our own bedroom and bathroom. House is spacious as well. Cooked out one night on the grill out back. Found a great beach around the back of the "loop" on the bay that was great for sunsets. Francois was great on getting us from the dock to the house and back for our departure. We all hate we had to leave at the end of our vacation. Really gets under your skin. Loved the beach just steps away and we loved the little perch halfway down the steps with the bench. Unbelievable, amazing, relaxing and very comfortable.

Best Vacation Ever!!!

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: We could not have asked for a more hospitable company to work with for our vacation. They were great for all of the accommodations with getting from the ferry to the house and back on departure. They were very prompt in response to all emails and phone call messages left. The house is on the North End and has a beautiful view and almost seems like a private beach. The house is full of supplies for cooking, beach towels galore, bug spray, and so much more for the best vacation ever. We loved the North end of the island because it was quiet. We had plenty of hot water and water supply. The view is a beautiful sunrise each morning. We used Marsh Harbor for grocery delivery and the house was fully stocked when we got to the house. The property was very clean and well-maintained. I would highly recommend this house and Elbow Cay Properties to anyone wanting great customer service and great rental property. Our golf carts were delivered to the house waiting on our arrival. The best food we ate was at Abaco Inn at the south end of the island. The best drinks we had were from Captain Jacks. We rented a boat from Blue Wave Boat Rental off Marsh Harbor. We used the north end public dock boat slips. The coffee maker in the house is coffee ground and not k-cup but it worked out fine - just wanted to let everyone know who is reading this review. The ice was equipped with several ice trays and we kept them going pouring ice into bowls in the freezer for ice supply. The only thing I can think of the house may need are beach chairs to take to the beach but other than that it was fully equipped and stocked!! The layout of the house is wonderful!!! This was by far one of the best vacations. The locals are very nice and helpful!! We never met a rude person and loved our stay!!! Please take advantage of the info list on the Elbow Cay Rental web site!! Also, you will need a gate key from the Town Council office. We plan to vacation on Elbow Cay more in the future!!

Great property!

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: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in May at Cookie On The Rocks. The house was well appointed and you could not beat the view or beach location. The only thing we wished we had known in advance was that a key was needed for a gate at that end of the island in order to access the property. It was a little hectic trying to track down the person who held the keys on the island but it all worked out! We look forward to returning to Elbow and staying at Cookie On The Rocks again!
Stayed 7 nights in May 2023

Fully equipped kitchen and plenty of space to entertain. Two detached bedrooms make everyone feel like they have their own house. House is very clean, very well kept, and the rental company is very responsive. I would definitely stay there again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd visit to Cookie and we will be back again! The house is Perfect for 5, Plenty spacious, well laid out and comfortable. We really like the location in the Abacos, close enough to town (with a cart) and North Dock makes it easy to access a rental boat to go north or south.

Riding out Nicole

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice home, Elbow Cay Properties was very supportive durring a Tropical/Cat 1 storm. The storm did create some issues that you can not blame on the property, access to beach was lost and a constant running generator. However, issue not related to the storm is the North End location, very rough road to and from the house to the settlement. In addition, we rented 2 carts (twice the cart cost)since carts are not allowed in the settlement only to see everyone driving carts through the settlement. Highly recommend Elbow Cay Properties but would advise staying away from the North End. My ratings are what we would have had without the storm.

Amazing Place to stay!!!

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: We loved the house. It is beautiful, clean, amazing access to the beach. Our family of 4 (2 teens) hand all the space we needed. We snorkeled right from the beach, house had everything we needed. Furniture was very comfortable and allows us to view the water from every where. Generator kicked on each time the power went out and we had all the water we needed. The north side is so private we rarely saw anyone else on the beach. We rented bikes to get around the island. But if you are comfortable with boating, renting a boat would be the way to go. There are socks close to the house you can use if you rent a boat or bring your own. We had the best time and would recommend this place to anyone!!!

Words can't describe!

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: What an AMAZING experience we had at Cookie! It was so perfect in absolutely every way! Francois was so friendly at pickup, the place was pristine and everything worked perfectly, the decks were where we spent most of our time together and the private beach, oh my word! I just couldn’t imagine a better stay in Hopetown! Francois was of course right on time, sweet and courteous on our sad day of departure as well. For anyone looking at the house on your website: the pictures do not do it justice!Aching to come back already!The trip to town requires bikes or a golf cart. We had both. Biking to/from town was one of my favorite parts of the week, but I like exercise! This North End property is more private and quiet than I imagine staying in town or even south of town would be. There is an issue with getting through town on the carts (not generally permitted), so if you are planning to travel South of town, be sure and plan accordingly.

Cookie on the Rocks-Elbow Cay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The island, the people and the staff of Eblow Cay Property Rentals were great. The house is a bit dated and in need of many updates-sea side corrosion has been hard on the doors and windows and during a storm there were 3 roof leaks. No A/C in the main part of the house and no TV provided so 14 days without channel cruising may have been a little long. But, overall the place was great, super sunrises and walks on the beach.

Cookie on the Rocks July 2018

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's a beautiful island and the location is great. We came by boat from Fort Lauderdale and enjoyed the area immensely. Two things spoiled the vacation.First, upon arrival we were informed that the living room and kitchen did not have air conditioning. That most definitely should have been made clear in the property description especially as this house does not naturally cool as it is surrounded by shrubbery. I had my wife, 4 children and the nanny there. The living room and kitchen is where we like to do all of our gathering and social time and it was unusable due to the intense heat. In addition, the screen to the sliding door was torn and ill fitting so wasps, flies and mosquitoes came in. One of the ceiling fans was not working properly so I requested maintenance. They came and looked at it but never fixed it. I requested fans to help. They brought only one fan that did next to nothing.Second, we were far from town and were unable to rent a golf cart. There was a golf cart sitting at the house but it was not made available to us even though they knew that I had six month old baby and I am handicapped. We had to either use the boat to go into town, walk or rent bicycles. Management should have made these issues clear in the property description so I was not blindsided by them. I certainly should not have had this experience for the money I paid.
