Hope Town House | Dunwanderin-Historic Cottage in the Heart of Hope Town w/dock

2 Bedroom House in Hope Town, Elbow Cay

A charming cottage in the heart of Hope Town settlement, Dunwanderin showcases its late 1800s origin yet is fully renovated and modernized with all desirable amenities. Nestled within lush native vegetation on quiet Lover’s Lane, only steps away are a beautiful ocean beach, the scenic harbor and famous lighthouse, quaint shops, eateries, grocery store, public docks, and its very own boat slip.
With friendly locals and a tranquil, family-friendly environment, Elbow Cay offers an alternative to the cruise ships, mega-resorts, “compounds”, and crowds of many Bahamian destinations.

About the owners: William and Lynn are from New Bern, NC and honeymooned on Elbow Cay in 1982. They designed, built, and maintained a popular 6-bedroom oceanfront rental house just south of town for 25 years before falling in love with and purchasing Dunwanderin. They take great pride in keeping the house in excellent condition and are constantly making improvements. Sharing their island home with renters when they are absent is their pleasure.
