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

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.

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.

STAY AWAY FROM SEA OATS COTTAGE!!!
We were very excited to finally take a vacation for the 1st time in two years and wow this place blew it. We are from Florida and used to the occasional cockroach, but not when they are in every drawer you open and about to climb onto the bed next to your sleeping baby. We arrived to find the inside a bit dirty, cobwebs in the corners of the room, floor not very clean, ants in formation, but we expected not the best at the price compared to the other listings. However, first drawer in kitchen we opened up and bam one cockroach on the kitchen utensils. Not the end of the world so we cleaned up what we could, put our clothes away and headed out to get dinner and see family. We got home a bit late and when we walked in, there was another cockroach on the kitchen counter which scurried away. We put our daughter down on the bed to sleep as we started to put our things away. My wife turned around and saw another huge cockroach on the table next to the bed about to climb onto the bed where our daughter was sleeping; my wife blew it up with a shoe. At this point my wife is beside herself as I am trying to calm her down. She opens up a drawer to grab her clothes and there is another cockroach on the clothes!!! This was the last straw. We packed up our stuff and left at midnight and never returned. I had to send a message via whatsapp to the caretaker to let him know what we have experienced and that we were leaving immediately. He tried to offer to clean up the place in the morning but there was nothing they could do that would make us feel OK to even get one minute of sleep in that place. Unfortunately, to this day the owner/property manager has not refunded us $1 for what we experienced. "It is not their policy" is what they say. This is beyond any reasoning as a host to not accept the state of their location and not assist the guest with what they had to endure. I had to take my sleeping baby after midnight to a family member's location and sleep on the couch because there was no way we could stay in that place. I urge everyone to not stay here so you do not have to go through what we did. VRBO has not helped at all either, you call and speak to someone overseas that gives you a case number. No one calls you back. No one emails you. Very unprofessional. Never again.

Island was Devistated by Hurricane Dorian
I did not take the trip because the Island of Elbow Cay was devistated by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019. The island still has no electricity or running water, most structures was heavily damaged or destroyed. The house I rented on line with Home-away (back in March 2019)and paid a deposit and purchased insurance was advertised as having electricity and A/C , a boat dock. The situation of the house prior to my arrival date was completely different. No boat dock, no running water and electricity was by generator. I am having difficulty getting my deposit back from the insurance, as they do not have a provision for Hurricane damage. I feel certain that Home-away or the owner of the home will refund my deposit if the insurance company does not.
