What a delightful house on a spectacular beach on Elbow Cay, Bahamas. Great location to access town and all of the restaurants on the southern end. You basically have the beach to yourself! And perfect for walking. Karen the property manager was extremely helpful. Home with a generator is imperative! Highly recommend!

Fin & Tonic house

The house is cute and comfy located on the ocean side of the island. Beautiful beach. We utilized the new dock on the canal for our boat rental. Its a short golf cart ride down the road. Wish the house had an umbrella for the outside table for some shade and beach chairs to bring down to the beach. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much!!

Family Vacation

My family and I spent a week at Fin & Tonic. The house was spacious and very comfortable for our group. We enjoyed hanging out on the back patio facing the ocean. We loved hearing the ocean and having direct access to it. The location of the house it great, It’s a very easy walk to town. We opted to rent golf carts and enjoyed exploring the island on them.My only suggestion would be to add a few more sauté skillets in the kitchen. We did a lot of cooking and having a few more pans would have been great. Karen the property manager was very prompt and pleasant to deal with. We had a fantastic time and highly recommends Fin & Tonic.

Hopetown perfect stay at Fin and Tonic

Our week was absolutely perfect! Even before arriving the owner was responsive and helpful, sent me names of several boat rental companies and names to contact for day trips. I can’t say enough about Karen who is the caretaker, she was at the dock to meet us on arrival, gave us the rundown of the house and was available during our whole stay. She even took us out to an amazing reef one day since we had issues securing our own boat rental. The house itself is even better than the pictures, perfect open plan layout for a beach house with incredible views of the pristine beach right outside. We enjoyed cooking fresh caught fish (again thanks to Karen) in the well stocked kitchen, drinks on the deck admiring the ocean and unbelievable skies at night! The only thing we regretted was having to leave this beautiful home. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing family gathering spot and getaway

It couldn’t have been more perfect! The location is amazing, the views are even more amazing. We had everything we needed. Lots of space for everyone, comfortable beds, nice open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, great outdoor spaces, a back up generator so you are never without power. Perfect spot down on the beach for a wedding! Kim and Karen are both so great to work with and are great at communicating. I wouldn’t change a thing!

Best spot on Elbow Cay

This was our 5th visit to the Abacos and our second time staying on Elbow Cay and I have to say it was the nicest place we have had the pleasure of staying. I could have lounged in the living room and watched the scenery the whole week without moving! It was wonderful to have the beach right at the doorstep and the sand was so beautiful and soft. We enjoyed having several dinners on the deck as in the evening the breeze and the shade made it perfect to enjoy the views while eating. One morning we saw the most enormous crab I have seen crawl across the deck! We had dinner and lunch at the Abaco Inn and Cap'n Jacks (we were one of the co-winners for Trivia night!) and also enjoyed a wonderful meal at Firefly. With a golf cart, every place on the island, even Tahiti Beach, is very accessible. Most mornings we made breakfast with fresh bread or cinnamon rolls from Vernon and then we took day trips to Pete's and Nippers for fun on the boat and enjoyed amazing views of the fish while snorkeling at Mermaids Reef and Pelican Cays. The boat slip was so convenient and a complete bonus to the house stay. I cannot say enough good things about the location and amenities offered at the house. We would love to return and spend another week here again some time soon!

Beautiful home. Karen was wonderful. Perhaps add an outside shower and allow at least 1 day to wash.

The location of the house was perfect distance to both ends of the island. House was easy to roll into so we could get straight to enjoying our vacation. Boat slip was near by! Would have been nice to have an outside shower and to use the washer at least 1 day for our over a week stay. Besides this, everything was absolutely wonderful!

Fun & Tonic

We loved Fin & Tonic - the photos were exactly what we experienced. Great house right on the beach and about a mile from the boat dock - we rented a golf cart for transportation around the island. Karen was amazing at arranging transportation from the dock to the house upon arrival and again for departure to assist with luggage. Hope Town / Elbow Cay is an amazing little island we plan to revisit soon and frequently! A boat / golf cart rental is a must for this adorable island.

Dock is a short golf cart ride and brand new. We loved how we were right in the middle between Hope Town and Firefly resort. Amazing dinners at Firefly and Abaco Inn.

Fun Stay at Fin And Tonic

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful, newly restored property! The location of the home on the beach and the proximity of the dock were perfect. Due to the cistern water system, we were unable to wash towels and we only received one bathing, hand, and beach towel each for the week. The air conditioning is on a governor and fluctuates from 72-75 degrees which makes it pretty warm inside the home during the day. Renters should be made aware in advance that there are security cameras monitored by the owners on the front and back porches.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We have always loved everything about the beach; fishing, boating, island hopping, swimming, floating, snorkeling,and finding treasures on early morning beach walks. Our travel destination "musts" have always included locales that are non commercial, uncongested, pristine water, friendly destinations that offer unique experiences, great restaurants and ease of travel. We began a search for a second, and eventual retirement property that would fulfill our travel "musts“. In a 3 week whirlwind house hunting trip we searched the BVIs, US Virgin Islands, the Carolinas and both coasts of Florida. We were frustratingly unsuccessful. Tired and disheartened we added a few days to the end of that trip to fulfill a long standing promise to our daughter in law to see her "favorite place on earth": Hope Town, Elbow Cay. As we pulled into the harbor and saw the candy striped lighthouse, the quaint colonial homes, and the pristine water we knew we were home. The rest is history! We returned 5 times the first year expecting each time that we could not possibly love it as much as previous visits. We did and 6 months after our first visit we bought a large fixer upper very close to town and directly on the beach A total rehab ensued and Fin and Tonic was born. It is our winter home away from home. We love sharing this very special property with both families and couples. We sincerely hope you love our little slice of paradise as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Our home was 80% rebuilt post hurricane Dorian and is virtually new. The island has recovered beautifully and restaurants and bars are reopened.
