Great House , Great views from balcony,Comfy beds, great lounging space , Beware of the off season.
4 couples, We all had ample space and our own Bedrooms, all of us were in upstairs bedrooms. The 2 bedrooms downstairs smell musty/damp, both had Mini-Split units, not sure if that is why. I would not have been happy staying in Either one of them. Grocery store was close. Pick up and drop off from Ferry was seamless, property manager was Great .A cooler available for guests with house with this price tag Would have been a nice touch, as those are difficult to bring, we wanted to take drinks to beach. We found one on the side of the road, cleaned it up and left it in the closet for others. I was told no Keurig was available , but in fact both that and a VERY slow drip were on the property, took long time in AM to make coffee for all of us. Off season Notice: Was not aware that SOOOOO many places were closed in the off season, I feel like that is something that you should probably disclose to renters ,as it would have made an impact on us and we would not have come at this time, would’ve waited a few weeks. We missed out on many restaurants We knew that this was hurricane season and we were taking a chance by booking, but we just weren’t aware that resorts and restaurants shut down during Sept and October . Getting to the beach isn’t super easy. It’s very sloped and the beach is Beautiful ,but not easy to relax “In” the water, if you are just looking its Amazing, it will eat you up with churning waves , you must take a golf cart to the relaxing beaches .

What a great trip!!
Our family had an amazing time! The house was perfect for our group of kids, parents and grandparents! Mike and his group of employees did such a great job of making things easier for us since it was my first trip here. From lining up taxis, to golf cart rental, groceries and any other questions we had. The house had a great breeze blowing almost all the time and we all loved the pool. Gene was always nearby with an help we needed!! I certainly will recommend this house to all our friends!

Muzzy's return
My family returned to Hope Town to spread our mother's ashes as requested. Mother was a long time visitor to Hope Town and wanted her grandchildren to see Hope Town. Bahamian Rhapsody was the perfect place to handle 8 afults and 3 children. Local contact was at ferry to meet us and help with luggage. A great stay and would highly recommend Bahamian Rhapsody.

Water issue
Everything was great. On Thursday we came back to the house and we had been in a rain storm and everyone was taking showers. Water pressure was low but we assumed it was because of all the showers. Friday the water pressure ok but not great. Saturday when we were getting ready to leave we at times had no water and we needed to use a pot to get water from the pool to flush the toilets. We could not shower or make coffee. We told Gene when he came to get us at 8:30 am.

Beautiful house in a perfect location
A fantastic house in typical Abaco style. Beautiful views of the sea and pool area. Easily accommodated our group of 11 adults and was really well equipped with very comfy beds!! Lovely decor and spacious modern bathrooms. The furniture, fixtures and fittings really did reflect the website photos. The property is in a very good spot on the island. Close to the beach and equidistant to all the great places on the island making it a sensible choice of location. On Da Beach and Firefly very nearby but a golf cart is a must. Mike was so helpful during the booking process and his team on the island - Caroline and Jean - took great care of us and made our trip very easy and relaxed. We have been to Elbow Cay many times before and know the island well. This is a property we would definitely love to book again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The arrival and check in process was extremely easy and any issues we had were taken care of (needed to reset internet). The property is centrally located and the entire island easily accessible. Great property for a large group to rent and we would rent it again.

Paradise Found
Three families. One week stay. The ladies flew and the guys took our boat over from Ft. Lauderdale. Marina just a few minutes golf cart ride away. Mike (the owner), helpers Jean, Caroline and Paulette are all top notch. Great location. Sun, fun, relaxation. Little over an hour boat ride to swim with the nurse sharks and stingrays was absolutely worth it!
