About this property
Captains View Nestled on the Beach
Captains View is a cozy two bedroom beach house overlooking the southern beach and bay of Cherokee Sound. Beach chairs and lay off chairs are nice for relaxing in the sun . The kayaks make for good fun over the shallow water or to fish from . Also included is bikes for sight seeing or trips to the grocery store . The arrangement of a 14ft boat and outboard motor is your option .This boat can give you access to areas , beaches , channels , shoreline that are not able to be walked to .The front porch is definitely the most frequently used area of the home partly because of the view but also because it provides a shady, secluded, breezy spot to relax during your vacation. It is the perfect place to have your morning coffee, read a book in the afternoon, or retire after a long day of bone fishing. The Pro kayak is a nice addition for fishing the shallows .
The House is situated only a few footsteps away from the Long Dock where you can swim ,fish ,tan ,picnic and relax. There are many flat sand bars to walk on during the low tides; they are great places to find beautiful shells and sea life . Early tides bring in the fish including the allusive 'Bonefish' that rome freely along the shallow banks of Southern Bay. 'The Long Dock ' and its uncounted wooden pieces has with stood many hurricanes sometimes with little reconstruction needed . This dock is a pillar for the community and is loved by the residents, as well as non residents , both old and young, have helped maintain its condition giving them use and enjoyment. There is loads of history to be found around Cherokee from the early days of the settlement so make sure to bring your walking tennis .There are networks of uncharted paths from several hundred of years ago to be explored . There was wooden boats ,vessels and smacks built for many years on the shore of the inner creek. The art work on the living room wall will reveal that time period . You can learn more stories like this by meeting friendly locals of Cherokee and hearing about the history of this place.
Guests can request access to Watching Bay beach, on the ocean side through a private development 'The Reserve at Watching bay '. There is property for sale , with a variety of vacant lot locations .This is all within walking distance, but bicycles are great for riding through town, especially if you need to go to the grocery store. You can also rent a vehicle in Marsh Harbour beforehand to get around the island in if you wish to leave Cherokee Settlement.
The uniqueness of this home is not only what it does have but it doesn’t have. By separating yourself from a land line phone (which we do not have in the home!) you can find other ways to entertain yourselves. Cell phones do work if needed . However, keep in mind that there is free wireless internet access available so you can bring your business with you if you insist! Cable TV will give and added option for relazation and news information if needed . We hope you will come enjoy a peaceful vacation with the ones you love at Captains View in Cherokee.

Host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Very comfortable home with awesome location! If R & R is what you are after, this is the perfect place. Just be sure to bring your bug spray!
We spent 17 nights at this home. Very clean, well maintained, fully equipped, comfortable beds. It was the perfect size for our family of 3. The location was perfect. We spent many days in the water next to the long dock. There were plenty of kayaks available. The flats in front of the home were perfect for bonefishing. The people of Cherokee are very friendly. There was a grocery store within walking distance. Glenn was a gracious host. He was there any time we had a question. Check in and check out were easy. Excited to stay again.
Had a great time staying here! The boat ran great and we were able to explore several islands, catch fish/lobsters, and snorkel right near our house. The locals were friendly and gave great fishing advice. The house was plenty of room for our family of three and had a nice sized backyard. Planning to come again next year!
Charming small 2 BR cabin, right at beach and long pier. Great for quiet and relaxing vacation. Large, well manicured yard. Kayaks and bicycles included. Very nice and well equipped kitchen. Glenn was friendly and accommodating.
As VRBO hosts ourselves, we were very impressed with the beauty of the area and the house was very clean, comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. You can't go wrong staying in here! Glenn was helpful recommending a bone fishing guide. It was a wonderful stay. Be sure to visit Elbow Cay for a fun day out!
Glenn's an amazing host! This beautiful property has a very well thought out design and it is extremely well maintained.
If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable and secluded location in Central Abaco, look no further!
5 out of 5 stars.
This trip was just what we needed. The house was clean and quaint. So close to the beach and the long dock that we took frequent walks and swims. We visited Marsh Harbour and Hope Town on Elbow Key. Pete’s bar is a must! Great food and casual atmosphere. We’ll be back!
The house and location was amazing. We loved everything about this house. Great view, great beach. We enjoyed kayaking each day, walking the dock and walking around the small but very cute town. Everyone is very nice. Glenn the host is extremely friendly and helpful. We cant wait to come back next year for a longer stay.
This is the best place to stay on the island if you're looking to kick back island style. The house is miles away from the hustle of the town with an off-the-grid feel. My husband and I spent most of our time exploring the waters of Cherokee Sound and it's quaint town. You can see nearly every star in the sky from the long dock at night. Excellent shell picking, too!
We loved staying at Captain’s View. The house is lovely and had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. Cherokee is a very friendly place and so many of the neighbours stopped to say hello. The village store is ideal for top up shopping. The garden at Captain’s View is lovely and we spent time either on the lawn or on the beach. Thoroughly recommend the house and Glenn is a great host.
This house is a small house with the possible best location in the entire area. You view from the front porch is the ocean. The check-in was very easy. The house was very clean. The only advice I have is to get very clear directions before you land at the airport. We got a bit turned around and the directions that were given to us was "Go around the circle to the really straight road. Then when you see a flag turn onto the curvy road. Go a long ways and you're there" Also, you should be aware that there is absolutely nothing to do on the island besides relax. Perfect for us but out teenage kids would have gone bonkers.
Had a wonderful 5 night stay here. Highly recommend this little piece of paradise. Enjoyed the fantastic view from the front porch, walking and swimming at the pier, enjoyed renting the boat (must do) and exploring the surrounding beaches. House is very comfortable and homey. Very small community, but does have a small convenience store stocked pretty well with necessary items. We also found a small local pub (Pete’s Pub) for lunch and drinks. You will not find a more perfect property for the price. Glenn was very quick and helpful to answer any question we had. Thanks so much for having us and sharing your home.
My mom and I stayed at Glen's for 2 weeks and it was nothing short of amazing. The house was clean, organized and well stocked. The location.. Crystal clear blue water that seemed to never end. We could see sting rays from the Long Dock! Glen was on-site when we arrived to touch base and give us advice on how to spend our next 2 weeks. There was never a moment while we were there that made us feel unsafe.
Cherokee Sound is such a pleasant neighborhood and not too far off the beaten path but it's far enough away from everything that we were able to relax without all the noise but could hop in the car to get wherever we wanted on Great Abaco. Unless you are confident that you will not need to leave the home, a rental car is a must as taxi prices can be high. There is a grocery store in Cherokee that makes deli sandwiches and frappes, but we'd definitely suggest stopping at Maxwell's in Marsh Harbour. There's a boat repair shop that has coin operated washing machines in Cherokee.
Our favorite feature at the home was the kayaks. Glen pointed out an area that we could kayak too if we wanted to be wowed. If he gives you this suggestion, listen to him because you will not be sorry. We brought our own blow-up rafts and if you like to relax- we definitely suggest bringing a blow-up raft to float on the calm waters.
All of this to say that we will definitely be back. Glen welcomed us into his home and community like family, and we couldn't be more thankful. Thank you, Glen!
We stayed in Glenn's house for 14 days! What a wonderful place to get away from it all and enjoy nature! It's the closest house to the long dock and ocean. We highly recommend booking Glenn's boat to explore this beautiful place including a secret beach accessible only by boat! Very clean and warm house, very well equipped, in an absolutely charming little neighborhood with very friendly people. Glenn was always available to answer our questions. As the house is surrounded by nature, bring a good mosquito repellent for the evening! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Glenn for opening the doors of your paradise to us!!!!
Beautiful place right by the water and the long dock. It is a very well maintained house and property. Small but well stocked grocery store with deli just 3 blocks away.
Enjoyed the quiet location, this was a true get away. The beaches and gorgeous water cannot be beat. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Thanks for a great vacation!
Smooth booking process and excellent property. Glenn has a fantastic home. We did a little bonefishing caught a few fish. Had some fun highly recommended.
