Where to Stay

Hopetown, Elbow Cay, Bahamas

For accommodations, Elbow Cay offers a wide variety of full-service hotels and vacation home rentals. Below, we have outlined some great options! We recommend making your bookings for lodging as soon as possible.

All wedding events will take place on the south end of Elbow Cay. We recommend staying between Firefly Sunset Resort and Tahiti Beach. The main wedding event locations are The Abaco Inn and Elbow Reef for your reference.

Please do not hesitate to reach out directly to us to ask questions about the options you are looking into. We want to be sure your stay is easy and fun!

Golf carts are the main form of transportation on the island. We have a block at Getaway Carts, and there are other great companies as well.

Wherever you book, please book quickly! Golf Carts sell out fast. Coordinate with others to share a cart and we are happy to help connect you as well!

Elbow Cay Properties is the main rental company for private homes on the island. Many of their listings can also be seen on VRBO, however it is often more economical to book directly through the Elbow Cay Properties website. Below, we have highlighted a few great options!

The team can help you reach out to homeowners directly to inquire about stays shorter than the posted minimums, “Off Season” discounts, etc.

Please note that Elbow Cay Properties is closed on Sunday so the listings show that they are unavailable for check out on Sunday, however they may make an exception when you call to request.

VRBO has some great rental options for private homes on Elbow Cay also! However, be aware that some houses are also listed on the Elbow Cay Properties website where they may be cheaper to book. Below are some great options that can be booked through VRBO and there are more on the site.

When searching on VRBO refer to the graphics on the photo to the right for the area of the island we recommend staying in.

We recommend staying between Firefly Sunset Resort and Tahiti Beach. Golf Carts cannot be driven in the area in and north of the grey box indicated on the photo.

VRBO has some options that are not listed on Elbow Cay Properties, however if the property is listed on both, Elbow Cay Property will likely have the better price.

Hopetown Inn & Marina

The Hopetown Inn & Marina is a great option for anyone looking for more of a hotel. The only down side is that it is quite a bit of all wedding week events (15 minute golf cart ride) and you have to park your golf cart and then take a pontoon boat shuttle (provided by the hotel) to the property.

The Island Retreat

The Island Retreat offers single & double room accommodations, as well as suites and a private cottage with a kitchen and beach access.

Rock Point

A Waterfront Vacation Rental on Tahiti Beach right by the Ceremony Location. This home is designed to comfortably accommodate large families or groups of up to 15 guests in 5 bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath.
