There are no words!!! Exceptional!
We are beyond thankful to have found Ocean Gaze! We have a big family and a boat and finding a beautiful property to stay in on our annual trip to Abacos was not easy. From the moment we stepped foot in front of the house, we knew this house would be special and we were speechless.Every space in this house was perfect. Each bedroom space has its own bathroom with is ideal traveling with adults. The living spaces are beautiful and the kitchen is the heartbeat of the home! So much space for everyone to enjoy meals together and several women in the kitchen.The pictures do nothing justice at Ocean Gaze. From decor to comfort to the outside living and entertaining space at the pool, AND THAT VIEW! We hosted a dinner for our group at out home with Chef Carlton, and his wife to prepare the most beautiful Bahamian dinner. David is lovely and was so gracious with all my questions. Clara, the OG concierge was amazing and very responsive to any concerns during our stay. Cannot wait until next year as we have already booked our next trip!Thank you, David and Clara! We will see you next year!!

Wonderful Week in Ocean Gaze!
We had a wonderful time visiting Ocean Gaze, the house was exactly as pictured. The kids really enjoyed the heated pool & exploring the beach and cave right in front of the house. Clara and the homeowner were wonderful and easy to communicate with during our stay and helped in any needs we had. We did use Bradley Fox for a chef one night and wouldn’t recommend him to anyone. Terrible experience but had nothing to do with the house- just don’t book him for your occasion. We would love to come back and visit Ocean Gaze again! We had a wonderful trip! Thanks again

Great place for family gathering!
Ocean Gaze is just Wonderful. Cousins and spouses (7 couples) wanted to gather in Elbow Cay to enjoy a week of boating and fishing with a family member that keeps a boat in the marina. Ocean Gaze looked perfect on line--enough bedrooms with queen and king beds, bathrooms, pool, space and accommodations for cooking all that fish we caught. The house presented as in the pictures--relaxing and stylish. Clara the concierge was so helpful in finding us carts for the week, and helping with transporting us from the marina will all our groceries and luggage! David, the owner was responsive from the time we were even considering renting. Great sunrises and sunsets, beach access and good location for us--close to Sea Spray Marina, not far from Hope Town, Abaco Inn is close too. Many of us could walk the island. I would recommend this to any group looking for a relaxing and spacious place. It is worth the price!

We had a fantastic time. The house is in a great location on a very nice part of the beach. Kitchen was well set up, which made things easy for us. Our concierge made everything easy from golf carts to getting a private chef to booking fishing tours. We go every year, but this was the first time at this property. Would definitely stay again.

Family Vacation
This was our family's first visit to Elbow Cay. We have done a lot of VRBO rentals with our family in many locations. By far, this was the very best experience we have ever had from the host. The communication, follow up skills, management of the property, the property itself, including how well it is stocked, was truly exceptional. The concierge helped to make our trip run smooth, even with an airline groundstop. The property is centrally located, ocean views are breath taking and the house itself exceeded all expectations. It is very close to Abaco Inn, Firefly and Mackey's making incredible meals easy! We would highly recommend this property and would rent again!

60th birthday celebration
We loved our stay at OG. There were 10 women (37-65yo)! The house was big enough for everyone to have their own space/bed. The living area and kitchen are also very nice and big enough for everyone to enjoy. Clara, the caretaker was outstanding! She was always available and tended to any and all of our needs. Carlton Lebron, our chef was equally great! He catered 2 meals while we were there. The whole experience was amazing and yes…we will be back! Thank you !

Outstanding
Ocean Gaze is a stunning oceanfront property decorated with high-end furnishings and luxury linens throughout. Monogrammed bath towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided in every bathroom. The patio and deck areas are furnished with comfortable outdoor furnishings, beach towels, outdoor games and a large outdoor Bose speaker. Trust me, you will want to carve out some time to relax around the expansive deck and pool while taking in the gorgeous ocean views. The house has a great beach that is walkable. Head north and check out the cool rock formation. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly want or need to cook your meals. A great bar just off the living room. Our last night on the island, we hired Chef Carlton to prepare our dinner. What a treat! The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Clara, the concierge is friendly, responsive and prompt. My husband and I owned a vacation rental on Elbow Cay which was severely damaged by Dorian and we currently own a vacation rental in Jupiter, Fl. It takes a lot of time, energy and effort to manage a vacation property and to keep it in tip top shape. I can't praise the owner Dave enough on providing one of the very best vacation rentals on the island. Ocean Gaze feels like a 5-star resort. Thank you Dave for providing such a spectacular home for so many to enjoy.

5 Star Vacation
Words cannot describe what an amazing vacation we had at the newly constructed Ocean Gaze! From start to finish, David was the best host. Since this was our first trip to Hope Town, I had so many questions on where to buy provisions, ferry information, golf cart rental etc.. David was so quick to respond to all my questions no matter how big or small.
We were a group of 19 moms and 20 year old daughters. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Clara, the house concierge, who will help you with all your needs during your stay - restaurant reservations, ferry transportation, chef recommendations, food provisions and anything else you can think of. Clara is such a delightful person and having Clara really elevated our experience.
Where to start with this beautiful house… Ocean Gaze is by far the best equipped house I have ever rented. David has thought of everything starting with the fresh baked cookies upon arrival. The decor is just stunning, the pool and the view to die for, and a beautiful white sand beach right out front. The house has the best layout and we never felt the slighted bit crowded.
Eat at Firefly and Abaca Inn - a short golf cart ride away. There is also a small coffee shop within walking distance. Rent a golf cart, spend a day on the boat to go to Nippers and have Chef Carleton cook a delicious Bahamian meal.
I cannot recommend David and Ocean Gaze enough. We will definitely be back to Hope Town and Ocean Gaze will be my first choice every time!
