Site Information:
Scotia - Vacation Rental
Elbow Cay is the beautiful Bahamian island where we have our second home, which is available for vacation rental.
|
More Info:
- Secluded home with 350' of private waterfront & dock on White Sound
- Family island charm with modern conveniences
- Cool Cuban tile floors for barefoot enjoyment
- Open, breezy floorplan with paddle fans throughout
- Spacious deck for sunset watching
- Sleeps four ( you want to get away, right?)
How could a vacation at Scotia go? It would probably begin by flying into Marsh Harbour where you clear customs. From there you take a taxi to the ferry dock. On the way, ask the driver to find out if there is a charter to White Sound. If there is, it can probably be shared, or you might just want to charter for yourself. If you are comfortable navigating new waters you could have your rental boat waiting for you in Marsh Harbour.
That taken care of, you would then have the driver take you to one of the two supermarkets, where the taxi will wait while you shop, or you might get another taxi when you are through. Once on the ferry, have the captain call Sweeting Construction and let our caretakers, Ricky and Betty Sweeting, know where to meet you.
On the first day you might take a camera tour of the island. A right turn at the foot of our lane will take you up on the ridge where you will look left to the ocean and right to the Sound. Continue to the end of the island, where you can look across Tilloo Cut. Then circle by Tahiti Beach. On your way back you might want to stop off at the Abaco Inn for something refreshing, and talk with the staff about dinner. Both the Abaco Inn and Rudy's Place will pick you up and bring you home if you have dinner there.
If you're really ambitious, you might then want to walk into Hopetown. Be sure to go by way of the footpath as this goes along the shoreline and cuts half a mile off the interior road route. The town itself has several nice places for lunch or dinner: Hopetown Harbour Lodge, Club Soleil, or the "fast food" Bahamas style places like Captain Jack's or Harbor View. Hopetown has several small grocery stores, drug stores, gift shops, a surf and sail shop, and the Dive Shop, all open weekdays but not Sunday.
A days outing to Man-O-War should not be missed with a thought to buying some of the well made items at The Sail Shop. The days will pass all too fast as you occupy yourself with whatever suits your fancy, be it chartered trips, snorkeling forays or fishing ventures. Just beach walking, shell collecting, sunning and enjoying the "nothing needs doing" atmosphere is enough for some. The pace of life is as you set it.
Nearby Attractions:
There are no casinos, no nightclubs, no golf or tennis courts, just sun, sand, sea and fish and peaceful days. We feel Scotia is a place to come to for quiet and renewing, returning to wherever refreshed and with pictures on film or in the mind that cannot be matched anywhere. Our home is in a wonderful location that insures privacy, and yet is only a "block" from the paved road.
Amenities:
- Two bedrooms: 1 queen bed, 2 twin beds
- Two ceramic tile bathrooms
- Living room
- Dining room / game area
- Tables lower level
- Large kitchen
- Utility room
- Chest freezer available to monthly renters

Caribbean Travel Tip
Residence or Investments in the Caribbean
You will need a passport and visas to reside in or to conduct or start a business in the Caribbean. Although some Caribbean countries welcome retirees or others of independent means as long-term residents, requests for work permits are rarely granted. Before you travel, apply to the country's embassy or consulate in the United States to obtain a visa if you wish to reside, go into business, or work in the country.
U.S. citizens who wish to invest in the Caribbean, such as in real estate or a business, should first thoroughly investigate the company making the offer and, in addition, learn about the investment climate in the country. A good resource is the Trade Information Center of the U.S. Department of Commerce, telephone 1-800-USA-TRADE. The Center can tell you how to access the National Trade Data Bank. Among the things you can learn are how to find out if the company is registered with local authorities and how to get in touch with local trade associations. Before signing a contract for a timeshare or other real estate, you may wish to consult with a lawyer. You will need to check whether the contract contains the same safeguards as do similar contracts in the U.S., such as the retention of timeshare rights if the property is sold. You should also determine whether the builder or seller has a clear title.
