Superlative property

We were blown away by the 360 degree views of this beautiful beach house. The accommodations in the main house were wonderful. There were plenty of Adirondack chairs on the deck, nice, comfortable couches inside and seating for 8 at the table and more at the lunch counter. The kitchen had everything you'd want, however there was one salt shaker and little else, such as no shampoo and few soap bars. We were shocked when we learned that we didn't have access to laundry for 3 weeks, but understood more when we learned the only water source is rain water. The manager did allow us to use the laundry twice, which helped considerably and they cleaned once mid stay, which we really appreciated. The North end of Elbow Cay is desirable if you like quiet, nature, and pristine beauty. All in all, a wonderful vacation.

Friends Wedding!

We traveled to Hope Town for a friends wedding. My husband and I stayed at Sandalwood with close friends of ours. The house is amazing. The pictures Do NOT do this house justice. The accommodations, location, and THE VIEWS (360). We will definitely be back and stay at this home again. We did not want to leave. Elbow Cay Properties was so easy to work with. Communication was super easy. They went above and beyond to make our trip super special.

Quiet North End Stunner

Driving up to the big house on the hill is a great way to start your vacation. The house is situated on the quieter North End of town, overlooking the beautiful beach out back and the harbor out front. The surrounding grounds are pristine and well kept. The house was clean, well stocked with the necessary gear to get you through the week. It's also large enough to accommodate the 8 people it says it can, very comfortably. Having stayed before on Elbow Cay a few times, I knew what I was getting into with the cart not being able to cross through town situation. If its a big deal for you, get two carts (one on each end). Or simply get the restaurants to pick you up from the Post Office in town. The boat dock is in great shape, and allowed for safe/proper docking and easy access across the road from the house. There is a great breeze on the top of the house, with all the doors and windows and fans there is no need for AC. Andre, the caretaker was easy to communicate with and helped pick us up at the lower dock to transport us and our luggage/groceries to the house. We only wish the home had some beach chairs and possibly more cleaning supplies. We did our best to make due with what the home had. Not a huge deal though. We really enjoyed some of the board games and puzzles to pass the morning time. Good WiFi and phone to communicate as you wish. I wish the screen on the VHF worked, it was practically useless without it, that would have made it a lot easier to communicate with some of the vendors around the area but other than that it was such a wonderful stay, we will definitely look to return again!!

Great Place On North End

The house, views, dock, beach and grounds were truly amazing. The owners are great and so is the caretaker. We’ve been to Hope Town several times but this was our first stay on the north end and it was very nice.

Beautiful View

World class views front and back of house. The patio is amazing. The north end beach is perfect and the dock was perfect. Not being able to take a golf cart all the way into town is a bummer...especially with groceries. But, the north end beach is worth it.

great time in Hopetown

Great property, good location with wrap around deck; Beautiful views from every angle. Only downside of location is not being able to use golf cart through town to see the other side of the island. Otherwise we spent most of our time on the water so having our own dock was a nice addition.

Another great stay at Sandlewood!!

This was our families second stay at Sandlewood over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Just an amazing location with access to all the best parts of Elbow Cay and surrounding Cay's. Fantastic sunrises and sunsets on all of the decks and all the amenities you would need for a small or large party. We will be back for sure!

Great beach house with bayside dock.

House was great. Only reason for the 4-4.5 Star is that we had the main fridge not work that cost us money for lost food. the replacement for the kitchen never came but the fridge started working properly 3 days into our stay when some parts were replaced. Outside of that, very pleased.

Lovely light beach house

We had a wonderful warm visit to Elbow Cay staying at Sandalwood. There was plenty of room for all three couples, with a lovely open floorplan which provided room for conversation, games, cooking, dining and music. The beach is right out the door for long walks in the sand, and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep at night. We rented a boat and kept it at the property's dock on the bay side, taking trips to other islands and to the south end of Elbow Cay. A great vacation home!
