Oceanfront, Amazing Location! On Pristine White Sand Beach w/Coral Reef Offshore

Nestled in the dunes along a pristine white sand beach, SEA BISCUIT is a beachfront cottage that was crafted over 50 years ago by a local boatbuilding family. A true relic of the island's craftsmen, the wooden cottage provides a place to enjoy where sea, sky, sand, and coral reefs come together. Whether you want to explore or relax, Sea Biscuit is an oasis for your beach vacation. From sandcastle building to beach combing, and from kayaking to snorkeling among the coral reefs, there are endless options for those who love the sea. Relax with a book in a beachside hammock, enjoy your coffee on the deck at sunrise, or take a nighttime stroll in the sand and under the stars. Leave the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the surf on the shore. If the sea is your refuge, you will be restored at SEA BISCUIT.

SEA BISCUIT BEACH HOUSE sleeps 6. There are 2 traditional bedrooms, both with king size beds, and there is an open loft bedroom with 3 twin beds. (The loft is only accessed by a ship's ladder, so it is not suitable for young children.) There is a full bathroom located between the main bedrooms. There is a second bathroom that can be used if needed; it is located downstairs in the workshop and has a small shower that can be used for rinsing off after beach adventures. There is a simple, efficient kitchen which is connected to the dining area and family room. A second beach side dining option is located on the elevated back deck and offers dazzling views of the sky, sea and shore. The family room has a smart TV which you can use to stream your favorite show (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) or watch one of your favorites from the house DVD collection. There are games in the cupboards for family game night, and a grill out back for cooking your catch of the day. 2 Sea Kayaks are available at the house for guests to use. Air conditioning, high speed internet, and large capacity washer and dryer are available for guests. Beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas and some snorkel gear are also included. A private mooring buoy in Eastern Harbour can be used by guests, as well as the Community Docks (first come first serve), and if needed, additional dock space may be available to rent (from others).

Currently, there is a 10% discount for monthly stays.

Extended family groups may want to consider renting "Beach Happy" which is located on the adjacent property (to the west). "Beach Happy" sleeps 12 and is a beautiful home with wrap around porches, 4 bedrooms, solar power, and a gourmet kitchen.

Sea Biscuit and Beach Happy are located on Man O War Cay, Abaco Bahamas. Man O War was settled by British Loyalists who left the American colonies after the U.S. Revolutionary War, and also the Eleutheran Adventurers who sought religious freedom and settled in the Bahamas during the 1600's. The European settlers were preceded by the Bahamian Lucayans who, archelogical evidence indicates, inhabited the Abacos as early as 700 AD. The earliest residents farmed and fished; and later occupants did the same and some were wreckers who salvaged vessels that were shipwrecked on the reefs. In the 1800's the island became well known for its boatbuilding and the renown Albury Brother's boats are still built on the island today. During your stay, you can visit the Albury's Sail Shop, Joe's Studio, and the Man O War Heritage Museum and Coffee Shop. The Man O War Marina Village is open for business with boat fuel and gift shop and a restaurant coming soon. Visitors can rent a golf cart to explore the island, or a boat to visit other islands and beaches. The Low Place is ideal for snorkeling and swimming, Fowl Cays National Park has amazing reefs for offshore diving and snorkeling, and Tahiti Beach is highly recommended for if you want to experience an amazing cast-away tropical sand bar paradise. Also recommended: climb the Hope Town lighthouse (built in 1862) and visit the Wyannie Malone Historical Museum. Take your boat to Firefly Sunset Resort and Abaco Inn on Elbow Key for great food, beautiful views, and a fun, island ambiance.

Information and maps for favorite things to do in and around Man O War are available for guests. Please let us know if you would like more information about travel logistics, boat rental recommendations, and Sea Biscuit amenities.

If you are interested in renting a boat, we highly recommend you do so as soon as possible upon making your reservation since boat rental demand often surpasses supply. Coach Pearl Boat Rental is located on Man O War and they will typically include use of a dock space with their rental. Please let us know if you would like a list of other boat rental businesses in the area. Rental of a golf cart is also recommended for on island convenience and adventures. (We recommend Sojer Cart Rental.) Demand for rental golf carts can also exceed supply, so we advise guests to reserve a cart early in order to ensure availability.

Man O War Cay Grocery is an excellent little grocery store conveniently located in the settlement. It is very clean, well stocked, and open Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays).
