Clearview

We were so happy to be able to return to Hope Town! We had watched the tragedy that was Dorian and had been waiting for the island to be ready to support guests again. Elbow Cay rentals was the first agency with homes available for rent.

While their website was being updated, Carrie sent me dozens of emails answering every question about properties, locations, amenities, prices. She was so helpful. Once we booked Clearview, Brittany then answered my every last mundane question about how things were open and operating on the island.

The house is absolutely in the perfect location with access to town, stores, the sailing club dock, the clinic. Everything.

In addition to the location, the fabulous porch was a deciding factor in choosing Clearview. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch in the morning drinking coffee and exchanging well wishes with all the Bahamians passing by. There are no people friendlier than the Bahamians. And after a long day on the boat, the porch was the perfect location to relax and drink a Sands Light while watching the sunset.

Clearview is one of the few houses that was somewhat spared by Dorian, so it has not been rebuilt from the ground up. So if you're looking for a brand new house with flashy new fixtures, new furniture, etc. this may not be your choice. But if you want the perfect, quaint beach house with amazing views, easy access, and all the comforts of home, don't hesitate.

We certainly hope to return soon.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful time. The view was great. We would really love to rent again when we return. The only problem was that the generator did not work when the power went off in the evening for two hours.
