Unfortunately, with no naturally occurring water source on the island we rely solely on collecting and manufacturing our own water. As such, water is a precious commodity which is why there are NO laundry facilities available at the house. We limit the use of our laundry equipment to be used by our cleaners only. If laundry is necessary for your stay there are several options on the island from self serve laundromats to full service that will wash and fold your laundry, all for a nominal fee. Our caretaker (local) is available for any needs
________________________________

We have taken extra precautions to assure that our home remains as clean as possible. After each stay all high touch surfaces including tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, handrails, light switches, remotes, wardrobe and cabinet handles, desks, toilets, sinks, bedside tables, and kitchen and bathroom surfaces will both be cleaned and disinfected.

Although we do have a supply of hand sanitizers throughout the house we do suggest bringing extra hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray and anti-bacterial soap with you.

We do have WiFi service throughout the house and TV's where you can stream programs but please keep in mind that this is still the Bahamas so speeds and connectivity might not always be what you are accustomed to back home.

Beautiful Time

This property was perfect for my family. The location is approximately 3 miles south of Hopetown Marina/harbor and having a golf cart is really ideal when arriving. Property set up was also amazing. Three bedrooms, spacious living quarters, and beautiful outdoors. The concierge was very property in providing anything we needed. I would highly recommend to anyone staying.

Beautiful Bahamian Beach house

The house is spotless ,very comfortable, and lovely Bahamian decor make it a delightful charming home . Everything you could possibly need is there and in good working order . The outside deck areas are massive with a lot of pretty seating in several cozy areas. An early morning coffee watching the sunrise over the ocean, followed by a dip in the pool is the only way to start the day. We stayed for 18 days. I already booked next year for a month !!

Week Vacation in Elbow

My family of 5 stayed in the house for 7 nights. The property is great and very typical of an Elbow Cay rental. It is laid back and a perfect location near Sea Spray, Abaco Inn and Tahiti beach... walking distance to all of them. Caretaker was awesome and helped us with the water and coordinating golf cart return etc. There is no washer dryer for use by the tenants which is important to know if you are staying for a longer duration.

Paradise Found

First time staying at Catch A Wave but not the last. The house was perfect and the outdoor area did not disappoint! Thank you to Hermanette & Jack the caretakers as well, were at the dock upon our arrival, rented us a golf cart for the week, even suggested Captain Mike for a charter boat experience, exploring the other surrounding islands. We would highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay with all the amenities needed for a great vacation in the Bahamas with friends! Just a short distance from the sea spray marina and just a short golf cart ride to anywhere else on elbow cay. Perfect kitchen supplies for cooking every night!

Great house, great location, great time!

My husband and I took our sons and their wives. The house was perfect for 3 couples. The caretaker, Jack, took great care of us when needed. The house is a short walk to Sea Spray Marina where we kept a small rented boat. There is also a great Tiki bar, food truck and corn hole at the Marina. The owners answered all of my questions quickly. We had THE BEST time on this trip!!!

Great to be back!

We returned to Hope Town after a five year hiatus due to the hurricane and pandemic. It was great to see how well the island has bounced back and so many of the familiar friendly faces. An ideal vacation for us with surprise pool toys/games/etc at the property for our kids and close proximity to Tahiti Beach which is their absolute favorite place in the world. Owner (Jane) was so helpful and available whenever needed, and Caretaker (Jack) was awesome as well, but other than that we were happily left to a peaceful family vacation on our own which was exactly what we were looking for. We'll be back!

Family Vacation

My family had a fun filled 9 days on Elbow Cay staying in Catch A Wave from 8/22 - 8/31. Even though it was the start of off season (which we didn't realize) and some of the restaurants/shops were closed we still did a lot. We rented a boat from Conch Pearl Boats (MOW), explored the other cays, fished, spear fished, snorkeled, bar/restaurant hopped, climbed the lighthouse, went to Tahiti beach, etc. Our family consisted of 6 adults, my husband, our two adult "kids", and their significant others and Catch A Wave was comfortable and very spacious giving everyone their own space when needed but also had plenty of spaces inside and outside to come together and just hang out and relax. I will miss waking up and having my coffee on the deck every morning listening to the waves and feeling the breeze. Jack (the caretaker) was always there whenever we needed anything, he and his wife are a big asset to Catch A Wave. We will be back...

Multiple Challenges with Host

Property was nice and Hope Town was a great place to visit. Host was not willing to accommodate our provisioning service and could only suggest a higher cost option. Host offered to arrange golf cart rentals but claimed no six seat carts available. I found a six seat cart after two phone calls instead of renting 2 four seat carts. Not enough propane to provide hot water on day three but property manager corrected after making a call. A bathroom fixture was partially broken upon our arrival and completely broke while we were there. We were charged in full for this item repair and would have had no problem sharing the replacement cost since we failed to report the initial damage on check-in. However this was not even a consideration by the Host. Also be aware as stated in the contract you are not allowed to use the washer/dyer and this might be a challenge when traveling with larger families.

Great location

Catch A Wave is lovely house with wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s got everything you could possibly want. We were there when a storm went through and power went out. It was lovely having the automatic generator. We did worry about running out of diesel but luckily the fuel barge managed to bring more to the island. The cell phone service is not the best but internet was good. It did go down a few times, but wasn’t long before it came back. Jack the caretaker was wonderful and kept in contact with us and could not do enough to make sure our vacation went well. Jane the owner was also very responsive to questions. Renting a golf cart is a must to get around the island. Easy reach to Tahiti Beach, Abaco Inn and FireFly. I would recommend shopping at Maxwells before getting the ferry over as stores only have basic supplies.
