Escape to Hope Chest - Elbow Cay's Hidden Treasure

Leave your shoes and your worries behind, and enjoy the ultimate vacation in this brand-new beachfront home in Hope Town on the beautiful island of Elbow Cay, Bahamas. This secluded four-bedroom, three-bath house sits atop a spectacular bluff overlooking a beautiful Atlantic-side beach, with a healthy reef just offshore for snorkeling. It's a short walk from the charming Hope Town settlement, but is nestled in a palm grove, high above a pristine beach on a large private lot. With its open floor plan and inviting outdoor spaces, Hope Chest is designed to bring families and friends together while providing ample opportunities for privacy and solitude.

Key Features:
- Beachfront Bliss: Enjoy direct access to a stunning Atlantic-side beach, with a healthy reef just offshore for snorkeling and exploring marine life.
- Spacious Layout: With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a private first-floor study, this home provides ample space for families and friends to gather and relax.
- Open Floor Plan: The 20-foot vaulted ceiling above the "great room" creates a bright and airy space, seamlessly connecting the chef's kitchen, dining area, and living room for easy entertaining.
- Spectacular Views: Upstairs, a spacious bedroom, bathroom, and lounge area boast a balcony with breathtaking views of both the harbour area and the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
- Outdoor Living: Four distinct deck areas offer unique charm and views, including an expansive 1000-square-foot covered front porch with ocean views, perfect for al fresco dining or relaxation.
- Pets may be permitted but only on a case-by-case basis

Hope Chest combines the best of island living with the comforts of home. This newly built, architect-designed home features an open floor plan, with a 20-foot vaulted ceiling above the "great room" -- a connected space that combines a chef's kitchen with dining and living areas.

The first floor also features three large bedrooms and two bathrooms. A private first-floor study offers a quiet retreat for reading, working, or simply enjoying a moment of solitude. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom, bathroom, and lounge await, offering a separate living area with a balcony that provides spectacular views of both the harbour area and the nearby Atlantic Ocean.

Outside, you'll find four distinct deck areas, each offering its own unique charm and views. The expansive 1000-square-foot covered front porch is the main gathering place, with its ocean views and ample seating -- providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining or simply relaxing with a good book. The house is powered by a robust solar power system with a connection to the local utility, which avoids the unpredictable and disruptive power outages that are an unfortunate part of life on the island.

From snorkeling and sunbathing, to strolling along the shore and watching the sunset, to renting a boat and exploring the nearby islands and maritime parks, there's no shortage of ways to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply seeking peace and serenity, this beachfront getaway in Hope Town offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and re-connecting with friends and family. Soak up the sun, breathe in the salty sea air, and experience the unique island of Hope Town from this private beachfront retreat.

Perfection!

January 2025

Overall
5

Just had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful, comfortable home! Perfectly situated close to town but with privacy and breathtaking ocean views. We loved having direct beach access, enjoying dinners on the porch, and stargazing from the deck under the clear night sky. The host was great, sharing local knowledge and making the entire stay seamless. From check-in to check-out, everything was easy and stress-free. It was truly a memorable getaway, and we can’t wait to return!

All 5 stars!

We had an incredible time. The house was walking distance to almost everything. We rented a boat, and paid to dock it at a neighbor’s dock, so were able to do more extensive exploring. Chuck kept us very informed.

We had a wonderful time in Hopetown and staying at Hope Chest. The house was beautiful, spacious, and the perfect place to relax. It was just close enough to town to walk in, but far enough away to be a real retreat. Highly recommend!

Amazing Stay at Hope Chest in Hope Town!

August 2024

Overall
5

We recently stayed at the Hope Chest in Hope Town, and our experience was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we booked, Chuck, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless and enjoyable. He was incredibly helpful in arranging transportation to and from the airport, handling our luggage, and even connecting us with local companies to rent a golf cart, boat, and dock space. Although we were initially concerned about the weather affecting our plans, it ended up turning in our favor, allowing us to proceed as scheduled. Chuck was very understanding and willing to work with us had we needed to make changes, which gave us peace of mind. His local staff is just as wonderful—always available, super helpful, and easy to reach whenever we needed anything. One of the best parts about Hope Chest is its fantastic location. It’s so close to downtown that we didn’t even need to use the golf cart—we just strolled down the charming little street past the schoolhouse to get wherever we needed to go. It was a truly great experience. The Hope Chest is a beautiful property, and our stay here made our vacation unforgettable. We can't wait to return!

Wow!

Wow, this house and location were amazing! The constant breeze on the porch looking out at the ocean was the ultimate relaxing experience. The house is spacious and laid out so well. Accommodated our 2 families of 8 people total very well. The kitchen had everything you need to cook meals(which we did almost every night). Don’t miss out on showering in the outdoor shower! The only hiccup is power frequently goes out on the island. If it is out more than 12 hours, the solar batteries do not last. The island is working towards improving overall power grid but these are just growing pains of a small island. It’s still totally worth the visit and all of our amazing experiences while we were there. We will be going back soon!

Manager's Response

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Regarding the power situation, there was an unfortunate confluence of events: a prolonged electrical outage on the island coupled with an extended period of overcast weather, which affected our solar battery capacity. We've never had this happen before, but are actively reviewing options to minimize the possibility of issues in the future. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience with this matter, and we're glad to hear it didn't detract from your overall experience.

Excellent location with access to Hope Town Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful beach to swim and snorkel with private stairs from property. Boat access is a short walk down to town to the public dock or you could rent a dock. Once you’re on your boat there is so much to explore! Don’t worry the owner will provide the scoop on all the things to do. Golf cart not necessary but if you want to explore the south end of island thoroughly probably best, we just went by boat instead. The house is beautiful and just steps out of the settlement so you will feel like you are on your own island. It has everything you need. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. Couldn’t have had a better time. Hope to be back soon!

Our stay at Hope Chest was fantastic! The house was very clean and exactly as advertised. We had a beautiful beach view from the house and deck, and it was very easy to get to the beach to swim. The house is walking distance to the grocery and a few good restaurants. The house was very new and comfortable and had everything we needed. We were two families traveling together, and it worked perfectly. The owner and the caretakers were all attentive and very helpful with any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing House in Hope Town. True Gem.

This home in the settlement provides the best location to explore everything Hope Town has to offer. The house is in front of the beach and it provides for amazing beach activities. There’s a great snorkeling trial in front. House is clean, spacious and comfortable. In addition you have every kitchen gadget, WiFi, TV with streaming and everything else you could ask for. Whether you want to explore or stay in the house it is great.Chuck is great at communicating and has a great home keeper to help you in the check in process. The home keeper even picked us up. Check in and check out was a breeze. We were 6 and truly enjoyed staying in Hope Chest.

Very comfortable and relaxing. This place has everything you need and more. Definitely rent a golf cart in advance as you will enjoy exploring and looking around the island. On da beach and Hope town inn and marina were our favorites to eat. Mackeys has great baked foods and sea biscuits breakfast has some of the best fresh brewed coffee we’ve ever had! The views and water were amazing! Hope to get to visit again! Chuck was the best host we’ve ever had. Very responsive and friendly.
