Peace N Rice

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Elbow Cay and at Peace N Rice. We loved the location of the house as well as having a private pool. The house is a little small, but worked good for 3 adults. The listing states the house is a 3BR/3BA, but it’s actually a 3BR/2.5BA. We had a couple of maintenance issues (leaking toilet and initially dirty & seemingly leaking pool), but those were addressed by the caretaker (took a couple of days to get the pool ready for our use, but a plumber had to be contacted to fix the toilet - didn’t happen while we were there).

I would recommend this house, but it could use some TLC - here are the issues that we felt should be addressed (from both a safety and comfort concern): outside window trim is rotting; broken tiles on front porch that are sinking and are a trip hazard; leaking pool (we think - the water level was low when we got there and after water was added, it was low again by the end of the week); deadbolt on main house front door was rusted to the point that it was unusable; the kitchen sink is stained/cracked finish and just looks very dirty; kitchen utensils are starting to rust; the mattresses in all 3 bedrooms are really pitiful; some cabinet doors won’t operate properly (some hinges are rusted and some just need to be adjusted, but the appearance of the doors shows a lack of maintenance); the linens are worn out and should be replaced; there was some missing trim downstairs; interior doors in main house were splitting at the bottom. All of these items just seem to be a lack of maintenance and would make the house feel much nicer if addressed.

This house was amazing. It had everything we needed and some. The property caretaker was great and was there when we needed something. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon.

We just returned from a wonderful week at Peace n Rice. From the moment we arrived on island, Ruben our host was there for anything we needed all week. The villa is as described and the pictures are up to-date, so need to worry about what to expect. The villa is perfect for a couple of families. Can't wait to come back!

The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was in very good condition and very clean. The house was comfortable and would definitely come back to stay in this house.

The property manager did a fantastic job and was very helpful with our needs. The owner needs to do some repair to the property,wooden decks are rotten, nails sticking up,electrical issues inside,and basically wore out. Needs some love $$$$$$$
Thank you

We have visited 6 beaches as a family (Caymens, Bahamas(2x), Florida, Jamaica and Cancun). This was our favorite family trip. It was great hearing the ocean and feeling the sun 24x7. It felt like we were living on a nice boat. The house was better maintained than houses near by. It was a little chilly to go in the pool in March. We mostly played in the sand, walked on the beach, and visited sites on the island. The pros of the house are: great maintenance, had a pool, beautiful view of sunrise, private beach, great wifi, near restaurants and Tahiti beach, great HVAC/generator. Cons: gas oven ignitor not working (used lighter), most windows did not open (but large doors did), got a splinter on wooden deck (needs sanding and sealing), caretaker did not pickup the phone a single time (she needs voicemail or to pick up phone-- the main office did pick up the phone though). We recommend bringing a wetsuit for kids when it is chilly, bringing a kite, bring a sand shovel, renting golf cart, bringing apple tv with HDMI cord. If we return we would come when it is warmer (summer) so kids can swim more. Great place overall.

This was our first time on Elbow Cay, and it was truly amazing! I worried that the location would not be favorable, as I read many reviews that the north end of the island would be better. I completely disagree. You definitely need a golf cart with this property, and the golf cart allows you to explore the entire island. You can easily walk around the north part of the island while getting to see what the south end of the island has to offer! This home is on the beach, has a pool, and is plenty big for a family of up to six. One thing to note, there are two levels to this home that do not connect. There are two bedrooms on the top level and one bedroom on the bottom level. I mention this because with 3 smaller children, we only utilized the top level as the kids couldn’t stay on the bottom level alone. It was no big deal at all. We loved this property and will rent it again and again! The property manager, Rabanette, went above and beyond to help us out. She’s amazing!!

Wonderful
