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.

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...

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 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!

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!!!

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 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! We loved the outdoor George Foreman grill! Everyone we met was so friendly! We will be back again!

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.

Elbow Cay - wonderful place to be
House was nice - property manager is top notch. House was some what clean but a deep clean is probably due. We did not realize it is against the rules to use the laundry. The sheets for one of the unmade beds was-in the laundry and the door was not locked. We used the laundry to clean the towels, shorts, T-shirts and such as we have in any rental we have used in the past and were told after that was totally off limits, owner had a camera in the laundry which is a bit out uncomfortable.. We typically start the first load on check out but were told we should not do that after we stopped the beds and stacked the towels. We apologize for using the washer and dryer but there were no signs stating they were off limits. Very nice property but a tad warn assuming the previous storms have been rough on everyone’s property. Electric grill was not in good shape so cooking was all in the kitchen. The island is fantastic, all the people on the island are fantastic, the property manager could not have been any nicer and helpful. If you need a laundry this would not be the place to stay unless you go to the local laundry mat. Island food is every bit as good as home in charleston sc.

Longtime Abaco, first time Elbow Cay
For the last 15 years I have heard wonderful things about Elbow Cay. My expectations were exceeded by an order of 10! The island is beautiful, as expected, but the difference are all of the amazing people. I have never met more gracious and wonderful people. If Dorian wasn't bad enough the Abacos were dealt a double whammy with COVID. The resiliency and determination of the Abacos is in full view with the people of Elbow Cay. Their warmth, kindness and hospitality are rare and they truly embody the saying, grace under pressure. If you want an amazing location where you can revel in all the glory of Elbow Cay look no further than Catch a Wave. Catch a Wave is perfect for a family or a group of friends. The deck is amazing and the views surreal. Everything you need is exactly where you need it and the house is very comfortable. Personally, I can't wait to go back.

Great House
House, location and views were great...property manager was incredible..only complaint is owner had washer and dryer in a locked owners closet and a security camera on it. With children (9,6,5) it was a huge inconvenience as we packed thinking a rental house would have access to washer/ dryer. We asked owner to make an exception and she explained that cleaning clothes in the sink was a great option 🤔 We would not rent property because of that in the future... but if that’s not on your list of necessary amenities - great house.
