Unfortunately, with no naturally occurring water source on the island we rely solely on collecting and manufacturing our own water. As such, water is a precious commodity which is why there are NO laundry facilities available at the house. We limit the use of our laundry equipment to be used by our cleaners only. If laundry is necessary for your stay there are several options on the island from self serve laundromats to full service that will wash and fold your laundry, all for a nominal fee. Our caretaker (local) is available for any needs
________________________________

We have taken extra precautions to assure that our home remains as clean as possible. After each stay all high touch surfaces including tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, handrails, light switches, remotes, wardrobe and cabinet handles, desks, toilets, sinks, bedside tables, and kitchen and bathroom surfaces will both be cleaned and disinfected.

Although we do have a supply of hand sanitizers throughout the house we do suggest bringing extra hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray and anti-bacterial soap with you.

We do have WiFi service throughout the house and TV's where you can stream programs but please keep in mind that this is still the Bahamas so speeds and connectivity might not always be what you are accustomed to back home.

GUEST COMMENTS

"Our family of 6 and 9 month old baby had plenty of room - a great floor plan for privacy. The pool and outdoor space gives plenty of different activities."

"Fantastic house, great location in the center of Elbow Cay. Everything we needed, and more! The pool is awesome, shade in every spot on the deck and a wonderful breeze from the ocean! The two rooms downstairs are not right next to each other which was great! Bed/Bath upstairs was awesome. Unlike some houses, this one stayed cool and the generator was great because we did lose power a few times. The owners were great, as was Jamie, the caretaker. Don't look any further and book this house, you won't regret it. We will be back!"

"Great home with lovely views. Our week on Elbow Cay was paradise. We had everything we needed and the kids loved the pool. Our daughter took her first non-assisted swimming strokes in the pool! We found good places to eat and drink and Tahiti Beach was a favorite daily activity. Jaimie took care of us on the island and the owners were very responsive hosts. We hope to be back soon!"

"Catch a Wave was absolutely wonderful! The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed! The beds were so so comfortable!! Loved the outdoor space and pool! We had coffee each morning on the porch looking out towards the ocean- it was amazing. Golf cart that we rented with the house was great and the caretaker texted us to check on us and offered to help us with anything we needed. We hope to rent this house again the next time we return to Elbow Cay!!

Great to be back!
We returned to Hope Town after a five year hiatus due to the hurricane and pandemic. It was great to see how well the island has bounced back and so many of the familiar friendly faces. An ideal vacation for us with surprise pool toys/games/etc at the property for our kids and close proximity to Tahiti Beach which is their absolute favorite place in the world. Owner (Jane) was so helpful and available whenever needed, and Caretaker (Jack) was awesome as well, but other than that we were happily left to a peaceful family vacation on our own which was exactly what we were looking for. We'll be back!

Great house, great location, great time!
My husband and I took our sons and their wives. The house was perfect for 3 couples. The caretaker, Jack, took great care of us when needed. The house is a short walk to Sea Spray Marina where we kept a small rented boat. There is also a great Tiki bar, food truck and corn hole at the Marina. The owners answered all of my questions quickly. We had THE BEST time on this trip!!!

Multiple Challenges with Host
Property was nice and Hope Town was a great place to visit. Host was not willing to accommodate our provisioning service and could only suggest a higher cost option. Host offered to arrange golf cart rentals but claimed no six seat carts available. I found a six seat cart after two phone calls instead of renting 2 four seat carts. Not enough propane to provide hot water on day three but property manager corrected after making a call. A bathroom fixture was partially broken upon our arrival and completely broke while we were there. We were charged in full for this item repair and would have had no problem sharing the replacement cost since we failed to report the initial damage on check-in. However this was not even a consideration by the Host. Also be aware as stated in the contract you are not allowed to use the washer/dyer and this might be a challenge when traveling with larger families.

About the host

Hosted by Jane and Peter

Host profile image
We are a family of 10+, three grown sons, two wonderful daughter-in-laws, three adorable grandsons and our first granddaughter born March 2023. After growing up in the suburbs of New York and Boston we met after college in Nantucket, MA where all three of our boys were born. To escape those, long, cold, harsh winters we moved our family to Hilton Head Island, SC in 1992 where we currently live. Our kids have always had a love of the water and 'island living' (although they have chosen the more metropolitan areas of Charleston, SC and DC to live).

This 'love of the water' (and surfing) have taken us on vacations to Costa Rica, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Barbados, Mexico and now Elbow Cay.

Why they chose this property

We decided to build our DREAM vacation home after our first visit to Elbow Cay. We stayed with friends in White Sound and from the minute we got off the ferry we absolutely fell in love. It reminded us so much of our days on Nantucket and how it used to be 30+ years ago. The beaches with their beautiful coral shaded sand and crystal clear turquoise water are second to none. Not to mention how hospitable and friendly EVERYONE is. It is the perfect place to escape, unwind, relax and create many memories!!!!

What makes this property unique

Our goal was to build a vacation home in keeping with the 'Bahamas' theme of bright colors and coastal decorations, along with all the modern amenities one would want to make for a perfect stay.

Catch A Wave's location in the White Sound area has some definite advantages. First of all, being on the South side facing the ocean there is always a breeze, unlike in town or facing the Sea of Abaco. This especially makes a huge difference in the summer months. We are right up the street from the Sea Spray and a short walk to Tahiti Beach and only minutes by golf cart to other beaches and town. And.. in the summer, when power outages are a common occurrence, we have an automatic full house generator.
