Beautiful View

World class views front and back of house. The patio is amazing. The north end beach is perfect and the dock was perfect. Not being able to take a golf cart all the way into town is a bummer...especially with groceries. But, the north end beach is worth it.

Superlative property

We were blown away by the 360 degree views of this beautiful beach house. The accommodations in the main house were wonderful. There were plenty of Adirondack chairs on the deck, nice, comfortable couches inside and seating for 8 at the table and more at the lunch counter. The kitchen had everything you'd want, however there was one salt shaker and little else, such as no shampoo and few soap bars. We were shocked when we learned that we didn't have access to laundry for 3 weeks, but understood more when we learned the only water source is rain water. The manager did allow us to use the laundry twice, which helped considerably and they cleaned once mid stay, which we really appreciated. The North end of Elbow Cay is desirable if you like quiet, nature, and pristine beauty. All in all, a wonderful vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at Sandalwood! The house was beautiful, well equipped and very comfortable for our party of 6 adults. The bedrooms were comfortable, private and quiet and the living area ans balconies were perfect. The property management team was very professional and responsive, and provided assistance and advice whenever we asked. We were not able to rent a golf cart or boat, but we rented bikes, went on a couple of day charters, and enjoyed the beautiful private beach at the house. The walk to town for groceries, restaurants and shops was easy. We would definitely go back!.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third year we have stayed at Sandalwood. We love the northend and especially the ability of having a place where we can have family gather. WIFI was disappointing but our in home techs were able to handle it. The home is a magnificent experience. Cool winds from the Atlantic and accessible warmth from the Abaco Sea depending which side of the house you are on. A wrap around deck to cool the upper floor and air conditioning on the lower. Wonderful furnishings large upper floor for gathering. The Property Management team were very responsive to requests that we had. Definitely a memory maker.

Close proximity to Hope Town and steps away from a quiet sandy beach. WiFi reception. In secondary building was non existent. Cable TV service would have been nice in the main home but not a deal breaker. Overall we would come back again.

Friends Wedding!

We traveled to Hope Town for a friends wedding. My husband and I stayed at Sandalwood with close friends of ours. The house is amazing. The pictures Do NOT do this house justice. The accommodations, location, and THE VIEWS (360). We will definitely be back and stay at this home again. We did not want to leave. Elbow Cay Properties was so easy to work with. Communication was super easy. They went above and beyond to make our trip super special.

Paradise found

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Elbow Cay is our favorite island to visit. We have stayed at several rental properties but this one is our favorite because of the amaxing views from both sides of the house. The only negative thing is there is no AC on the top floor so you have to keep the doors open which is ok except for the bugs. There are no bedrooms on the top floor. We will stay there again.

This house in particular was absolutely perfect for us (2 couples)- close to everything, yet also secluded. Insanely gorgeous views and pure paradise.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our fourth time on Elbow but first time on the North End. Very Peaceful and quiet but close to Hopetown. Elbow Cay Properties was great as always. Caretaker met us at the dock to help with luggage. Views from the house are unreal. No issues with the lack of AC in the main living area. Wifi was a little slow and not consistent.

Sandalwood, Hopetown, Elbow Cay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sandalwood was a beautiful home located on the Atlantic side of Elbow Cay north of Hopetown. We have been coming to Hopetown since 1980 and thoroughly enjoyed our first time stay in this beautifull home. Two levels of wraparound porches offered a variety of winds, temperature, quiet getaways and a view of the Abaco sea. The beach was available out the back door. The second house offered a comfortable getaway for extra guests. The kitchen was a great size for multiple cooks and with all the amenities that would be needed. The furniture was stylish, comfortable, and appropriate for the number of people. The land around the house was expansive and provided a quiet solitude. This home is definitely on our list for a return visit.

If you want peace, a magical view, privacy and luxury then this is your place. If you are looking for something more action packed then don’t go. Elbow Cay is for those who want to slow down and escape. We had terrific help when we needed it from the team at Elbow Cay Properties. A real treat.

Quiet North End Stunner

Driving up to the big house on the hill is a great way to start your vacation. The house is situated on the quieter North End of town, overlooking the beautiful beach out back and the harbor out front. The surrounding grounds are pristine and well kept. The house was clean, well stocked with the necessary gear to get you through the week. It's also large enough to accommodate the 8 people it says it can, very comfortably. Having stayed before on Elbow Cay a few times, I knew what I was getting into with the cart not being able to cross through town situation. If its a big deal for you, get two carts (one on each end). Or simply get the restaurants to pick you up from the Post Office in town. The boat dock is in great shape, and allowed for safe/proper docking and easy access across the road from the house. There is a great breeze on the top of the house, with all the doors and windows and fans there is no need for AC. Andre, the caretaker was easy to communicate with and helped pick us up at the lower dock to transport us and our luggage/groceries to the house. We only wish the home had some beach chairs and possibly more cleaning supplies. We did our best to make due with what the home had. Not a huge deal though. We really enjoyed some of the board games and puzzles to pass the morning time. Good WiFi and phone to communicate as you wish. I wish the screen on the VHF worked, it was practically useless without it, that would have made it a lot easier to communicate with some of the vendors around the area but other than that it was such a wonderful stay, we will definitely look to return again!!

great time in Hopetown

Great property, good location with wrap around deck; Beautiful views from every angle. Only downside of location is not being able to use golf cart through town to see the other side of the island. Otherwise we spent most of our time on the water so having our own dock was a nice addition.
