About this property

Panoramic ocean views, lux BEACHFRONT, dock, private beach steps.

SUMMARY
Fin & Tonic was newly rebuilt in 2020. The finishes, linens, furnishings are all new with no expense spared. This luxurious, spacious 3 bedroom plus**3 bathroom oceanfront home is 7 steps to a very private and pristine sandy beach and coral reef snorkeling. An idyllic oceanfront getaway featuring beautifully furnished 1500 sq. ft. decks on both the front and oceanside and panoramic water views from the 800 sq. foot Great Room. We are centrally located 1/2 mile south of town which affords privacy but is still just a quick walk or short golf cart ride to the harbor,restaurants and quaint, colonial settlement of Hope Town. Our dock is new and in the private enclave of protected Nigh Creek off the Hope Town Harbor, a 2 minute walk from the house. It is suitable for a 26 ft. boat.

CHRISTMAS/NYE
Fin and Tonic is available from Dec. 21-Dec. 28 and for an additional week Dec.28 to Jan. 4. There is a 11 day minimum if you would like to stay over both Christmas and New Years. We will try to work with you to accommodate your travel plans. THE CANCELLATION PERIOD ENDS 9/1/23 for this holiday period.
*Very large guest rooms have daybeds which each can pull out in to 2 twins/sleeping up to 10.

WHY WE LOVE OUR HOME
Elbow Cay is a friendly and very safe island with 12 miles of waterfront. While all of our tropical island is gorgeous, not all oceanfront properties are beachfront and not all beachfront homes are easily accessible with limited stairs. We are fortunate to live on a walkable and sandy beach accessible from a private, 7 step stairway. Coffee on the beach every morning starts our day and cocktails on the beach or decks are a calm and relaxing way to end the day. Indoors, we enjoy unobstructed, panoramic,180 degree views from the living area, primary bedroom and oceanside guest room. The private dock allows quick access from the harbor to the tranquil and easily navigable Sea of Abaco. Often, lunch is a boat ride to a beach bar or a picnic on a tiny island nearby. Golf carts are the mode of transportation and our home is ideally located for quick trips to groceries, town and oceanfront restaurants. We know we are extremely fortunate to live in Fin & Tonic 6 months of the year and take great joy in sharing it with you during the Spring and Summer months.

DETAILS
The home is totally remodeled/refurbished (2020) and is equipped with central air conditioning, an automatic emergency generator, a chefs kitchen,new stainless steel appliances(including a rare dishwasher), fiber optic wifi internet providing 300 mbps, smart TVs, a water purifier and lots of other extras. Also included are a variety of family games,grill etc. Fin & Tonic is a short beach walk down the beach to a true island bar, On Da Beach.

There is a significant amount of natural light through out and spectacular, panoramic ocean views from the great room, two of the bedrooms and the large deck. You can see the iconic lighthouse from the front deck. Snorkeling is as close as the reef right off the beach in front of the home. Fishing, boating, scuba diving, snorkel excursions and more are available with just a short walk or ride to Hope Town.

The master bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom #2 has the option of a king or 2 twins plus a twin day bed Bedroom #3 has a king and a twin day bed.

Bikes and golf carts are the primary method of transportation on the island. We recommend you rent a golf cart and/or a boat at the same time you book your stay. Exploring other islands on the tranquil Sea of Abaco is possible via boat rental and will add greatly to your stay.

Renting a golf cart and or boat is HIGHLY recommended at the time of booking. We can send you a list of rental businesses.

Elbow Cay is historically a safe place. We have 3 external security cameras that monitor the driveway and front and back doors. They are not monitored but available for review should you have an issue.

Fabulous House
We had the absolute best time and could not have been more please with the house! It's beautiful and the pictures don't do the view justice. It's even prettier! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all the pans you could ever need. We appreciated the cooler for beach days and the property manager was very helpful and kind. We absolutely loved our stay!

Family Vacation
My family and I spent a week at Fin & Tonic. The house was spacious and very comfortable for our group. We enjoyed hanging out on the back patio facing the ocean. We loved hearing the ocean and having direct access to it. The location of the house it great, It’s a very easy walk to town. We opted to rent golf carts and enjoyed exploring the island on them.My only suggestion would be to add a few more sauté skillets in the kitchen. We did a lot of cooking and having a few more pans would have been great. Karen the property manager was very prompt and pleasant to deal with. We had a fantastic time and highly recommends Fin & Tonic.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved everything about the beach; fishing, boating, island hopping, swimming, floating, snorkeling,and finding treasures on early morning beach walks. Our travel destination "musts" have always included locales that are non commercial, uncongested, pristine water, friendly destinations that offer unique experiences, great restaurants and ease of travel. We began a search for a second, and eventual retirement property that would fulfill our travel "musts“. In a 3 week whirlwind house hunting trip we searched the BVIs, US Virgin Islands, the Carolinas and both coasts of Florida. We were frustratingly unsuccessful. Tired and disheartened we added a few days to the end of that trip to fulfill a long standing promise to our daughter in law to see her "favorite place on earth": Hope Town, Elbow Cay. As we pulled into the harbor and saw the candy striped lighthouse, the quaint colonial homes, and the pristine water we knew we were home. The rest is history! We returned 5 times the first year expecting each time that we could not possibly love it as much as previous visits. We did and 6 months after our first visit we bought a large fixer upper very close to town and directly on the beach A total rehab ensued and Fin and Tonic was born. It is our winter home away from home. We love sharing this very special property with both families and couples. We sincerely hope you love our little slice of paradise as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Our home was 80% rebuilt post hurricane Dorian and is virtually new. The island has recovered beautifully and restaurants and bars are reopened.
