Oceanfront Cottage With Great Location

Sea Oats Cottage is a direct Oceanfront Studio tucked just behind the ocean dune, steps from the beach. It's a perfect stay for one or two people in a very desirable location three miles south of Hope Town. Most mornings start with beautiful sunrises over the ocean. Enjoy the amazing shared deck around the property which is covered to the east of the cottage and has a gazebo on the west side. The cottage is within easy walking distance of Abaco Inn. There are three small grocery stores on the island, but many of our guest prefer to stop in Marsh Harbour for groceries before taking the ferry to Elbow Cay. The picturesque Hope Town settlement, famous for the candy striped light house, is about a 15 minute golf cart ride. Golf carts and boats are available for rent from several places in the area. We have rebuilt our dock and can accommodate boats up to 24 feet. Sometimes stern anchoring may be necessary

not as advertised

The photos are misleading. No outside furniture was at the gazebo. The plastic chair at the rear deck was old and broken, actually pinched my wife's back when she sat in it. Views from the rear deck show nothing but sea oats, you have to stand and be at least 6'4" tall to see the ocean. Nails on the deck are popping up and will catch your shoes, don't go barefoot! The inside "dining area" is a small rolling folding table with 2 child sized stools. One very uncomfortable wood chair to sit in on the inside. Shower can not be adjusted, it goes from very hot to freezing cold as you stand there. The wi-fi service the owner suggests is not available. He owns both cottages and is too cheap to have a dedicated wi-fi. The Abaco Inn guest and Starlink are too weak for the TV to receive channels. Emailed the owner several times about the wi-fi and he is clueless.Definately not worth the money, camping would have been better!

cozy, nice

Wonderful hot water. TV did not work. Internet worked off and on. Slow internet when it did connect. Close to ocean -- just a few steps over the dune -- nice. Comfortable bed. Minimal number of dishes, but enough for 2 people. Refridge worked well. Eating table a little high but OK. Private dock just a little ways away from house on White Sound Bay area -- about 200 feet -- nice. Short walking distance to Abaco Inn. Recommend having a golf cart. Quiet area. Close (20') to other renter's rental unit (2 sets of renters very nice and friendly). Enjoyed stay.

Best deal in town

Pre-arrival, the owner Jon was very timely in answering my questions. Jean picked us up at the ferry dock and brought us to this adorable little beach cottage and gave us the tour and instructions. Just over the dune we watched the sunrise every morning drinking our coffee. Very comfortable, simply appointed cottage that had everything we needed.

Hope Town is my Happy Place

What you see if what you get. Great little studio on the beach. Perfect for a single or couple. Conveniently located steps from Abaco Inn. No wifi on property but who really needs it :-). Pop down to the inn if you really need to connect. We had water in the freezer and coffee on the counter. Everything else we went out for. The bed was comfy enough and with the ocean breeze we didn’t need to turn on the ac. Comes with a boat dock. Do not expect luxury, just a comfortable place to lay your head and dock your boat for the best price on the island.

Could use a spare set of sheets. Some beach towels would be nice. The bathroom lacks privacy because the surrounding walls are not floor to ceiling. I was OK with it but my Girlfriend was not.

My fiancé and I loved staying at the Sea Oats Cottage. If you are coming to surf. This is where you want to be. Within a short walking distance to all the main breaks including Indicas,hamburgers,garbonzos,rush reef,pools,etc. The unit itself is the perfect size for any couple. 15 steps out the front door and you are on the beach. The caretaker Jean is super friendly and a lovable guy. Had one hiccup during our stay and he was on it. 10/10 plan on coming back.

We loved it!

Love elbow key. Usually visited, and stayed on a boat, at Sea spray, so familiar with that area. Cottage was great! Had everything we needed, and nothing we didn’t. Met some of the family that owns the cottage, and they were very nice. The dock across the street was a nice perk too.
