About this property

Oceanfront Cottage With Great Location

Sea Oats Cottage is a direct Oceanfront Studio tucked just behind the ocean dune, steps from the beach. It's a perfect stay for one or two people in a very desirable location three miles south of Hope Town. Most mornings start with beautiful sunrises over the ocean. Enjoy the amazing shared deck around the property which is covered to the east of the cottage and has a gazebo on the west side. The cottage is within easy walking distance of Abaco Inn. There are three small grocery stores on the island, but many of our guest prefer to stop in Marsh Harbour for groceries before taking the ferry to Elbow Cay. The picturesque Hope Town settlement, famous for the candy striped light house, is about a 15 minute golf cart ride. Golf carts and boats are available for rent from several places in the area. We have rebuilt our dock and can accommodate boats up to 24 feet. Sometimes stern anchoring may be necessary

Steps away from the ocean. Perfect location on the island. Jean checked on us at the beginning and end of our trip making sure we had everything we needed. Room was equipped with nice full size refrigerator, stove top, toaster over, and coffee pot. Lots of outdoor sitting and lounging areas. Just a quick walk to the marina or The Abaco Inn to dine or swim. Would love to stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Mar 2023
I am glad you enjoyed your stay in Abaco at Sea Oats. I am unsure about how the minimal furniture and kitchen would differ from expectations? The photos and description in the listing show what is in the cottage. The amenities list also is accurate. Though the kitchen is small, it does have all basic utensils and small appliances as described. For all guests, please observe pictures and know that the space size is somewhat similar to hotel room but it does offer a full size refrigerator and a good basic kitchenette in a small building. The deck and proximity to the beach is also shown and we are glad that you enjoyed both during your stay at the cottage.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed your stay. We checked the AC unit and because it did seem to have limited cooling ability we installed a new unit.

We loved it!

Love elbow key. Usually visited, and stayed on a boat, at Sea spray, so familiar with that area. Cottage was great! Had everything we needed, and nothing we didn’t. Met some of the family that owns the cottage, and they were very nice. The dock across the street was a nice perk too.

Best deal in town

Pre-arrival, the owner Jon was very timely in answering my questions. Jean picked us up at the ferry dock and brought us to this adorable little beach cottage and gave us the tour and instructions. Just over the dune we watched the sunrise every morning drinking our coffee. Very comfortable, simply appointed cottage that had everything we needed.

Nice place to get away

Few issues with the water or I would have giving 5 starts. Jean (John) very nice and helpful. The really tried to fix the water.. Had some troubles
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
Good to hear that other than the water you enjoyed a five star stay. When the water supply pump became inoperable a new one was installed within 24 hours on the weekend. Sometimes even on island time we can take care of problems quickly. Glad you enjoyed your stay, please come back and see us again to enjoy Abaco and our new water pump.

Great location. Nice dock

Could use a spare set of sheets. Some beach towels would be nice. The bathroom lacks privacy because the surrounding walls are not floor to ceiling. I was OK with it but my Girlfriend was not.

10/10 would stay again

My fiancé and I loved staying at the Sea Oats Cottage. If you are coming to surf. This is where you want to be. Within a short walking distance to all the main breaks including Indicas,hamburgers,garbonzos,rush reef,pools,etc. The unit itself is the perfect size for any couple. 15 steps out the front door and you are on the beach. The caretaker Jean is super friendly and a lovable guy. Had one hiccup during our stay and he was on it. 10/10 plan on coming back.
