About
Enjoy the enchanting ocean-side estate of Leapin' Lizards, located at Turtle Hill on scenic Elbow Cay in the Abacos. Travel back in time and experience old world island charm in the ambiance of cozy beach-side living. The architecture of high Bahamian tongue and groove ceilings in every room with bead board walls creates a memorable time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The newly remodeled accommodations include seven uniquely decorated bedrooms, eight bathrooms, four kitchens with all new appliances that can easily be grouped into four distinct suites located in two buildings. Guests will notice the cozy beach feel throughout.
The two buildings are connected by an elevated walkway leading to a swimming pool and its surrounding deck. All-in-all, there are thirteen beds that can accommodate seventeen guests, plus a three full length couches for three additional guests as needed.
Visitors first encounter the main three-story building then proceed through a beautifully landscaped courtyard to an elevated swimming pool with tanning deck, finally arriving at the Beach House.
The Beach House
The Beach House has two floors and is complimented on its ocean-side deck with an elevated outdoor bed designed for sunning and stargazing. The first floor is named “Mermaids Quarters”. You enter through a fully protected outdoor patio to a living room, full-service kitchen, bedroom with a queen bed, an oversized bathroom, and its own laundry room. Just off the patio is a painted life-size aquarium for the children to enjoy and add to with their beach treasures.
The second floor of the Beach House directly faces the ocean. It offers a full-service kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. The ocean-view bedroom named “Sea Angel” has a queen bed. The accompanying bedroom named “Starfish” has two single beds.
You can exit the kitchen to the pool deck which has outdoor dining for eight. The pool deck also provides an ice maker and outdoor grille as well as its own bathroom for swimmers and sunbathers.
The Main House
Our tour of the three-story main house begins on the first floor with the “Turtles Nest”. This suite offers a full service “retro” kitchen reminiscent of the 50s, a living room with a full-size sofa and a separate bedroom with two single beds and one set of bunk beds. A large full bath is also included.
The second floor provides three bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. The first bedroom is called “Captains Quarters” and includes a king bed. Across the hall is “Curly Tails” with a queen bed. At the end of the hall is the “Crews Quarters” with one single bed and one set of bunk beds.
The third floor has a full-service kitchen and living room with access to two outdoor decks connected by wrap-around walkways. The ocean side deck is outstanding for watching spectacular island sunrises. The rear covered deck offers panoramic views of the Turtle Hill community as well as amazing Sunsets. The ocean-side deck has a table and chairs for ten people, whereas the covered rear deck has a table and chairs for eight people regardless of the weather.
This is a terrific property for weddings, family reunions and other special events. The one-word best describing Leapin' Lizards is, “Charming"!

We enjoyed the views of the ocean incredible sunsets and sunrises. The artworks around the property are amazing. I have never had a more relaxing time on vacation. You will not be disappointed. The rooms , the pool, the really neat outdoor double bed allows you to lay back watch the stars and listen to the ocean. I can only say wow and most definitely would visit again.

We took seven of our quilting friends for a needlework retreat. Lots and lots of wonderful open spaces to sit and stitch. The rooms and facilities were spectacular, comfortable, clean, and decorated with fabulous handmade quilts wallhangings, stained glass, and artwork.The views of the ocean were spectacular. We strolled on the beach and collected shells and memorabilia. We toured the little city and ate at several of the wonderful restaurants.This facility is top notch and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants a thoroughly fantastic vacation..

Leapin Lizards was the perfect property for our recent stay at Elbow Cay. The entire property and amenities were great. We enjoyed the vast decks, pool, and sunning area as well as all of the seating areas situated around the property. Property management was attentive to our needs and any request we had. Incredible views and best location on the island. Steps from On Da Beach and in between town and Abaco Inn and Firefly.

I have visited Leapin Lizards three times, it is a magnificent experience every time I visit, The setting and accommodations are spectacular, The beach is at your doorstep, the pool area is first class, if you want shade the garden room is your spot. The tropical garden can be viewed from a hammock or swing . There is an outside shower and a four poster bed on the beach side deck for sunning. Plenty of space inside for group activities or to be alone. The bedrooms and living areas are beautifully decorated as are the bathrooms in each bedroom. Fully equipped kitchens (4 of them)Leapin Lizards is just a golf cart ride away from eating establishments, the grocery store and other activities on the island. A great plae for all ages.

8 day stay, 14 people in our party and there was more than enough space for everyone. Beautiful views from the seaside deck where we watched the sunrise every day of our visit as well as the many decks and wrap around walkways that offer the ability for 360 degree views of the island. Conveniently located , thoroughly enjoyed the easy beach access and the pool and deck area were a favorite congregation spot offering sun, shade or swimming. Appreciated the many kitchens that offered individual food and drink prep as well as the third floor kitchen and family area that provided space for games and meals together as a whole group. It was an amazing vacation and the trips to Elbow Cay keep getting better each time and this was the best so far. We look forward to our next trip and hope to stay here again.
Secluded Paradise!

Leapin Lizard is the perfect get away for a large group or for a small one. We had the luxury of both being directly poolside and at the beach. The accommodations were A+. Sitting on the Oceanside deck in the morning watching the sunrise and water just breathtaking. I loved that it was centrally located on the island to be minutes away from restaurants, center of Hope Town, Tahiti Beach, and the grocery store, but situated that you felt secluded. Highly recommend this! Would definitely stay there again!

The property was warm, beautifully decorated, accommodating, and spacious. The family atmosphere was unforgettable! Our family and friends gathered together during the day and enjoyed lunch while we lounged around the pool and deck area. We really enjoyed playing in the pristine beach waters out front and trying a little bit of surfing on our adventurous days. During the evenings we would sit out on the beachfront deck in the ocean breeze and gaze the amazing night stars, while our food was grilling to perfection near the pool deck. So much to do including swimming/snorkeling, exploring the island on golf carts, playing games / cards, and excursions to surrounding islands! We most enjoyed our relaxing times. It was a treat being able to lay on a beachfront bed and get some fresh air and rays. What a delightful time! Thanks you so much for the great memories with our family and friends!

My family and I (total of 8 adults and 6 teenagers) spent our spring break at Leapin Lizards. There is so much to tell about Leapin Lizards, one will just have to stay to experience all of it. From the stunning ocean views, to the old world-vintage decor, a tranquil vibe, and proximity to town center and restaurants. Our teenagers in particular loved the privacy that they had staying in their "quarters" as well as the ability to explore the Island via golf cart (you will have to rent). We look forward to visiting Leapin Lizards and the quaint town of Elbow Cay again in the near future!!
