Welcome to Fin & Tonic: Your Perfect Oceanfront Getaway
Fin & Tonic is a newly rebuilt, luxury oceanfront home (2020) designed for relaxation and adventure. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat sits just seven steps from a private, pristine sandy beach, with easy access to coral reef snorkeling. Spacious and thoughtfully designed, make your tropical dream vacation a reality at Fin & Tonic where every detail has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and adventure.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE
* Stunning Views: Enjoy panoramic 180-degree ocean views from the 800 sq. ft. Great Room, the primary bedroom, and the Oceanside guest room. Relax on 1,500 sq. ft. of beautifully furnished decks, both front-facing and oceanside.
* Prime Location: Centrally located ½ mile south of Hope Town, enjoy privacy while staying just a short walk or golf cart ride to the harbor, restaurants, and charming colonial village.
* Private Dock: Perfect for a 30’ boat or vessels with up to a 3’ draft, our dock in Nigh Creek is a 3 minute walk from the house and offers convenient access to the calm waters of the Sea of Abaco.
* Unmatched Beach Access: A sandy, walkable beach with minimal stairs is right at your doorstep. Start your mornings with coffee by the ocean and end your evenings with cocktails on the deck.
* Ideal For Families: Kids can play in the waves on a wide and sandy private beach while the grown-ups enjoy beverages on the spacious oceanfront deck.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
* Modern Amenities: Central A/C, automatic generator, fiber optic Wi-Fi (300 mbps), a chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and 2 smart TVs.
* Light-Filled Interiors: Natural light floods the home, with ocean views from the wall of windows in the Great Room, primary bedroom, and oceanside guest room.
* Outdoor Fun: Snorkel at the reef directly in front of the house or explore nearby fishing, boating, surfing, scuba diving, and more.

* Primary Bedroom: King bed with en-suite bathroom.
* Guest Bedroom 1: King bed (or two twins) with a twin daybed and en-suite bathroom.
* Guest Bedroom 2: King bed with a twin daybed and a full bathroom across the hall.
TRAVEL TIPS

You can take a short boat ride for lunch at a local beach bar or a picnic on a secluded island. Rent a boat for the week or pre book an all day excursion with a local Bahamian.
SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE
*Elbow Cay is known for being safe and welcoming. For added peace of mind, the property features three external security cameras monitoring the driveway and entry points and a safe.

About the host
Hosted by Kim
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.
