Beachfront 6br/5ba Home in Hopetown Bahamas w/ Pool, Access to Boat Slip
Welcome to Abaco Bliss, a completely renovated 6br/5ba direct beachfront single family home with private swimming pool and an amazing deck! Abaco Bliss is located on the north end of Hope Town, Elbow Cay, just behind Vernon's and Captain Jack's. We even have a nearby boat slip available for rent!
After Dorian, we spent two years rebuilding and remodeling Abaco Bliss, previously called "Town Break". With the remodel, you can now enjoy a huge beachfront resort-style party deck with a gazebo and swimming pool, new furniture (both inside and out),new floors, kitchen, appliances, bathrooms, AC, Wi-Fi, even a brand-new generator to handle the island's frequent power outages.
The large gourmet kitchen has everything you’ll need for doing your own cooking or having a chef do it for you! The comfortably-furnished family room is light and bright for enjoying time out of the sun. There are two King bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the main floor, and a new bunk room with 4 Twins and a small bathroom great for kids on the floor below. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a King bed and its own bathroom, as well as two additional bedrooms: one with two Queens, and one with one Queen, a hall bath, and a laundry room.
The house is conveniently located a short walk from the Lower Public Dock, and everything Hope Town has to offer! Situated on a beautiful sparsely-populated beach, Abaco Bliss gives you the option of spending your day alternating between the crystal clear waters of the sea and the private swimming pool. Vernon’s fresh baked bread is a 5-minute walk. The Hope Town Harbor is just down the road!
Elbow Cay is accessible by ferry from Marsh Harbor or with your own boat. We have a 30' x 10' boat slip available for rent adjacent to Captain Jacks restaurant, just a 5-minute walk to the house! Just let us know if you'd like to reserve it.
On the island, you can enjoy sunrise breakfast and coffee at the Abaco Inn, a beachfront lunch at “On da Beach” and a sunset dinner at the Firefly. Tahiti Beach is an easy cart or boat ride to the south end of the island. Or you can eat all of your meals under our oceanfront gazebo….the views are hard to beat!
Our concierge, Junior, can help with anything you’d like to arrange, from boat rental, boat slip rental (for boats larger than 30'), golf cart rental, fishing charters, boat captains, chef service and fridge filling! Junior knows everyone on the island and everything about it, so if there’s anything you need, be sure to ask him!

Great Property but could be better
Awesome outdoor area and pool. A few simple items of basic maintenance could make it much better.

Abaco Bliss - Magical
Abaco Bliss is an unbelievable property and the pictures on the web site don’t show you all the beauty of Abaco Bliss, the surrounding area and Hope Town. Kevin and Carrie, who own Abaco Bliss, were great to work with and answered any questions we had prior to booking our trip and after. Getting to Abaco Bliss was easy as we had a direct flight into Marsh Harbor and a short taxi ride to the G&L Ferry where they dropped us off on the lower public dock in Hope Town.
Junior (property manager) met us up at the lower public dock and welcomed us to Hope Town. He took all our suitcases to the house and put them inside. He made sure we had everything we needed, showed us around the house and answered any questions we had about the house, Elbow Cay and the surrounding Islands. During our stay, if we ever needed anything we just used WhatsApp to either call or text Junior and he was great with response times and attending to our needs.
If you are a cook, this house has everything you need, a full kitchen and gas grill on the deck with an awesome view.
If you are looking for restaurants, there are several on the island. Some in walking distance and some just a golf car ride away. Some of our favorites where Captain Jacks (close to the house), FireFly, Abaco Inn, Sea Spray and Mackey's Takeout.
We are already talking about returning to Abaco Bliss and Hope Town. Abaco Bliss will certainly be on our list of vacationing spots.
Thanks Kevin, Carrie & Junior

Fabulous house with amazing view
Our stay at Abaco Bliss was wonderful. The house is located on a beautiful beach. The outdoor entertaining space is great! Junior the property manager is amazing!! He is on top of any request, super helpful, any very attentive. We needed help with something and he was at the house in 10 mins. to assist us. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It is convenient to the little town, an easy walk, but felt very private. We would definitely recommend Abaco Bliss!

Labor Day Getaway
Nice property and accurate listing! Golf carts were broken but the owner rented 2 for Us. Enjoyed the pool and beach combination. Owner was very involved making sure we were taken care of.
Just be aware if you have rented golf carts you cannot drive them through the settlement to the house. This was the only negative to the stay. We have a 18 month year old and didn’t bring a stroller because we were told we could drive golf carts to the house. Walking through the settlement carrying a baby in August heat was not fun.

I vacationed with 10 friends at Abaco Bliss in late June. We had a fantastic time. The house is extremely well set up for a large group. Super long kitchen island, two dishwashers, huge stove top. Everyone felt like they had their own space, in addition to the open and roomy common areas. The beach right outside the house is beautiful. The outdoor seating by the pool can easily accommodate 20 people. The concierge service was on point. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

A Blissful stay
We had 4 families with kids ranging in ages from 1-5yrs old. The house was very functional and had the perfect amount of space. The house was very clean and had nice linens! The AC and wifi ran strong! We cooked dinner most nights in the kitchen. The 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, large fridge and ice machine kept up w this big crew. We had dinner on the deck and swam in the pool in the afternoons. The beach is steps from the pool and very private. Nice place to snorkel! The kids enjoyed watching the light house at night from the back porch. Junior was always available to help w any of our needs. We recommend renting a golf cart to get around the island. We are already planning our stay at Abaco Bliss for next summer! The house had everything we needed and more!

The Best of Abaco!
We had an amazing stay at Abaco Bliss! The owner was very attentive to our questions and booking was very simple and straight-forward. The home is very well appointed. It had all the vacation amenities you could hope for in a vacation rental-- gorgeous home, great pool and amazing beach with stunning sunrises. Every room in the home is decorated beautifully. The gourmet kitchen is totally equipped for preparing any meals and entertaining. Two ovens, two dishwashers and tons of accessories. We had four couples on this trip and we had plenty of room. It was so nice to have king beds and five bathrooms! Love the location of this home. It is within walking distance to the settlement of Hope Town and a short ride to the other side of Abaco. We would not change a thing! Looking forward to our next visit.

The most amazing place to stay!!!
A group of 9 of my friends and I rented this stunning property in Elbow Cay for a long weekend. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our extremely helpful and amazing concierge who answered all of our questions and helped us with anything we needed. The house was just as stunning as the pictures, huge outdoor deck/patio, relaxing swimming pool, and right on the beach with immaculate views. The kitchen is fully equipped along with a grill so making food for everyone was very easy. The house was extremely spacious and spotless with more then enough room to fit our group! We were able to rent golf carts which we parked a short walk away from the house which was a huge help when exploring the beautiful island. Everyone on the island was so kind and there were plenty of places to eat, drink, and relax. We all had an absolute amazing time at this property, and we cannot wait to return!! Thank you so much for making our vacation so memorable!!

Stunning House!
I was with a group of 6 couples and this house was perfect! With 2 master suites & plenty of additional bathrooms it made it easy for everyone to be ready at the same time. There are a set of bunk bed that the youngest couple stayed in and said they were very comfortable and the room stayed nice and cool which helped them sleep well.
The house itself is impeccably decorated with all the modern comforts and a fully stocked kitchen to allow you to cook without compromise.
Easy access to the beautiful and CLEAN beach was one of my favorite perks. Being able to collect sea glass while having coffee was amazing.
I highly recommend this house and it's our intent to rebook this again.

Paradise Found at Abaco Bliss
Wow! Just wow! We found our own little slice of paradise at Abaco Bliss! Just a quick walk from the ferry and on the edge of Hopetown Village, this beautiful home sits atop a hill with jaw dropping views. The home, especially the extensive pool deck and Gazebo area is absolutely stunning! The beauty of this property was carried indoors not only in the well appointed, airy beach decor but in the thoughtfulness put into the space by the owners. It was abundantly clear this home was designed with families and travelers in mind, making it easy to settle in and relax almost immediately!
The indoor/outdoor living areas provide plenty of room for families or large groups to relax, but there are also spots to have quiet moments. We especially loved the two chairs facing the pool where we had coffee and mimosas daily!
The kitchen was perhaps the best stocked of any rental home we have ever visited. It is well stocked with dishes, glasses, cutlery, utensils and spices. If you don’t want to eat out, no problem! They have truly thought of everything and Vernon’s grocery is a short 5 minute walk from the house. Prefer not to cook? Also no problem, there are three excellent restaurants within a short distance.
The bedrooms were beautifully appointed with high end bedding and comfy beds. Making it nearly impossible to rise in the mornings. There are plenty of rooms with different sleeping arrangements! Enough for everyone to have their own space!
There were electric bikes available for use as well as ample beach chairs, floats for the pool, and beach towels. We had a blast exploring the island on the bikes and they were incredibly handy for a quick trip to Munchies for ice cream (an absolute must) or to Vernons for groceries. The location of this home is the cherry on top! Close to town, a nearly private beach just steps from your pool deck and so very close to the ferry.
Kevin was a excellent host! He always responded quickly to our questions both before and during travel! We were new to Elbow Cay, but he made sure we were armed with all the island secrets to make our trip a success! We were provided with information on ferry schedules, restaurants, rentals for boating and golf carts, and more! He truly was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Thanks Kevin for helping us find our paradise at Abaco Bliss! We will definitely be back!

Abaco Bliss is pure bliss!
Home is bright, open, beautifully decorated, and the best location on Elbow Cay. From the all new, well-appointed kitchen to the ultra-comfortable living area with a beach vibe, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The bedrooms are all spacious and the bedding and linens are perfect after long days on the beach or in the pool. The pool deck and gazebo overlook the best stretch of beach on the island, and the house is a two-minute walk from town. Have been coming to the island for almost 3 decades and this is by far the most incredible home we’ve ever seen. Will be back!!
