Perfect beach vacation home in idyllic little Bahamian settlement!
Cosy Bahamian cottage. Lots of character. Comfy beds. Beautiful harbour view from the main cottage. Gorgeous view from the separate additional cottage facing the beach and ocean. Perfect for multi generation family. Everything you need for cooking up meals and Vernon’s grocery and Skoops ice cream cafe a short walk away. Caretaker Patty took good care of us - although after check in there really wasn’t any need to contact her. Bikes available to use as well as boogie boards for kids. Internet worked great. Generator and water filter for drinking water. 5 ⭐️

Top-Notch location with amazing views
We loved our stay at Spinneydune. It was the best location in Hope Town. The front porch offered exceptional views of activity in the settlement and out in the harbour. Vernon’s and Munchie’s were a quick trip up the road and everything else in the settlement was a short walk. Patty met us at the ferry dock and took our luggage the short trip to the house. The snorkeling off the beach was good and we loved sitting in the dune deck under the shade of the coconut tree. The AC worked great in the August heat and the kitchen was well equipped. The owner and caretaker we’re quick to respond and attentive hosts. We would definitely stay at Spinneydune again.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy MacMillan

Host profile image
Our family discovered Spinneydune in the early 80's when we made a trip into Hope Town on a vacation while staying at a friends' place in the south end of Elbow Cay. Little did we know at the time what this little white and yellow original Bahamian saltbox cottage would come to mean to us as a family.

Why they chose this property

We bought the property in 1996 and completed an extensive renovation and addition in 1999. Twelve grandchildren and two hurricanes later we have decided that in order to keep it going for the next generation to enjoy we need to start sharing it with the world. We hope our guests will love it as much as we do.

With the back deck overlooking the most beautiful and isolated white sand beach you can imagine, this beach cottage has it all and you simply can not beat the location. We think it is one of the best spots on the island.

What makes this property unique

Family-friendly Island get-away located in the heart of the Historic Hope Town Settlement.
Brand new, fully automatic backup generator.
Use the Private Guest house on the beach as a suite for the in laws, a yoga studio, an office or just an extra bedroom.
Prepare a big family meal in the fully equipped kitchen.
Set the table in the beautiful side patio/terrace for an al fresco dinner under the stars.
Snuggle up in the cozy living room to play games or watch Netflix.
Enjoy the morning sunrise on the one of Abaco's finest white sand beaches steps off the back deck and end the day with a cocktail on the front porch as you sit and watch the world go by and see the sunset over the harbour.
Spinneydune has it all!
