Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Green Shutters for a week in June/2003. The house is well located in the settlement, and it fits perfectly a family of four. We did not use the extra room outside but it's ideal for one extra couple. The outside room has a bit of a smell, but it will probably go away if you leave the windows open for a day. The house is very charming, well decorated, pretty much like the photos. It has all the appliances you need, plus extra towels to take when boating/going to the beach. The team at Elbow Cay was very helpful, I would definitely work with them again and can't wait to be back in Hopetown!

The location is centered for ease of walking to anywhere...Vernon’s grocery, captain jacks, souvenirs shopping, hopetown docks. Perfect. We rented the guest house as well. Both houses had cold AC and hot water. Just out the front door is a sitting spot to take in all sunrises and sunsets.

The house is all new inside and bright and spacious. The kitchen has all new appliances and well stocked. The beach is just over the hill in front of the house, you can't see the water from the house (but you can hear the waves!)We were six people and used the two bedrooms in the house and the guest house (which is just out the front door. The guest house bathroom is a bit small but nothing wrong with it. The main house has a very large, spacious living room area with lots of places to sit and relax. The front porch was big with ceiling fans.The staff was very helpful in getting us checked in after a long flight delay.Absolutely no complaints about this house. We had such a great week, sad to leave.

You cannot beat this location on Elbow Cay. A short walk to Vernon's grocery store, Captain Jack's restaurant, and liquor store in the middle of Hope Town. A very short walk over the park hill in front takes you right to the beach. The bench at the top of the small hill is nice for morning coffee. (the small hill was a cholera burial site during the 1850's) The house itself is very nicely remodeled - single floor with a large great room (kitchen, dining area, living room, and half bath) and two bedrooms that connect to a large bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other, two singles. The next door cottage is also nice with a bedroom and bathroom. The only caveat is that there was no hot water during our stay (Feb 2022). Our family was in the Bahamas for a wedding. Showers in the main house were at best lukewarm. Showers in the cottage were always cold. This may not be an issue during warmer times of the year. There was also a lot of traffic on the road in front due to all the construction post Hurricane Dorian (this may drop off during the main tourist season). The rental provides some soap and TP, but no shampoo and the hair dryer did not work. The wifi internet was fast (60-70 mB) in the main house, but does not reach the cottage. All in all, we would definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our two daughters and my husband and I stayed at Green Shutters during a family reunion. The cottage was very clean and shipshape and there were plenty of dishes and pots and pans for us to cook with. Our daughters stayed in the house and reported the beds were very comfortable, and my husband and I stayed in the separate and comfortable mini-cottage, where we had our own bathroom. We often used the outdoor shower when coming back from swimming in the ocean, just a short walk over the hill (aka the cemetery) across the street. Two small hiccups -- the password for the internet didn't work, and the water pump malfunctioned -- were quickly fixed. We were impressed to learn that Green Shutters sheltered 75 people after Hurricane Dorian hit in 2019.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This turned out to be the most nicely furnished and organized of the 3 homes we needed. It is perfect for a couple with one or 2 little ones, then a separate little studio for Auntie. It is a hike up the steps to the widows walk, but worth the view. It is also next door to the wine bar and restaurant. A lovely stretch of beach is easily accessed across from Green Shutters.

In addition to providing all the typical amenities you would expect in a worthy vacation home, it is filled with quality fine art. And to top it off is a widow's walk providing spectacular 360 degree views, the perfect spot for Pina Coladas at sunset.
