Beautiful waterfront home w/ private dockage within HT Harbour

Hurricane Dorian wrecked havoc on our beautiful island on September 1, 2019. We have been working hard ever since to restore/rebuild our property and are fully operational again. We look forward to welcoming you back to Seagull Cottages.

IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 7 PEOPLE, OUR SMALLER HOME, GULLY'S NEST, LISTING # 3872224 MUST ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR LARGE GROUP. PLEASE ALSO CHECK THAT LISTING'S AVAILABILITY AND BOOK THAT PROPERTY AS WELL. PRICES ARE POSTED ON THE OTHER LISTING.

The 3 bedroom/2bath home, known as Gully's Ridge can accommodate up to 7 people. If you have a larger crowd, rent the 2 bedroom/2bath home on the adjacent property, known as Gully's Nest, which can accommodate up to 5 people. Ideal for families, couples and/or fishing fanatics. We offer the Best of the Abacos - luxurious fully furnished rental homes with private docks on an inlet in the Hope Town Harbour. The main access to the property is by boat, although there is a foot/bicycle path to the property. We are close enough to town for all the conveniences the settlement has to offer, including restaurants, grocery stores, and gift shops, but yet we are far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and private setting. Head out in a rental boat to explore neighboring islands, walk a pristine beach, snorkel our spectacular reefs, visit the historical lighthouse and museum or take a charter and go deep sea fishing with the Legendary Bahamian fisherman, Cap'n Robert Lowe or a tour charter to go island hopping and see the wildlife. Relax at the end of the day in the comfort of the air conditioned home, in a hammock on the screened porch or dock, or stroll around the gardens and orchard. The homes are immaculate and we pride ourselves on the personal attention given to make your dream vacation extra special. Come enjoy the islands with your extended family or group of friends in one private setting. It is nice to be able to travel together, but great to be able to retire to your own space if desired. Come on down to see us! We are sure you won't want to leave!

Hope Town oasis
Our group had a wonderful time in Hope Town. Karen & Robert were excellent hosts. I loved how personable & accomodating Karen was. The homes were perfect & so clean. Each house was provided with a small dinghy which we used to go to dinner & was extremely convenient. The pool was a nice touch after all day on the boat. Karen communicated so well with us before, during & even after we crossed back over to Fl. on our boat. My husband & I really enjoyed hearing the stories about their life in the Bahamas & how they recovered from the hurricane. Wow...tough people! I highly recommend checking out this home. We cannot wait to return!

Hopetown Bungalow
A very pleasant home located in the heart of Hopetown, Abacos. Located across from Hopetown Inn and Marina. A short boat ride to Tahiti Beach, Firefly, and Abaco Inn. Owners were pleasant to work with. Also, rented a boat from Barefoot Boat Rentals and golf carts from Getaway Golf Carts. The island has recovered nicely from Hurricane Dorian and has a fresh new look!

Great property for boaters who want seclusion with good docking and a cleaning station. A rental golf cart would have given better access to the island. Great place and great hosts.

Amazing Property and Hosts
This property is absolutely amazing. Karen and Robert are wonderful people, hosts and fabulous communicators. The layout of the house is absolutely perfect with a main room that has the kitchen, dining room and living room all together. This made it so everyone could be together while meals were prepared and eaten. The screened in porch is so large and perfect for listening to the ocean, relaxing or even eating a meal. The bedrooms are ample size and the beds are so comfortable. The closets and drawers are perfect for storing clothes and it was so nice to have ample hangers in the closet. The sunrise view from the dock and the screened in porch is breathtaking and well worth the early rise. The dinghy was perfect for getting across the canal. I would not change a thing other than I wish the fruit would have been ready for picking. I highly recommend you stay at this property! We will definitely be back!

Great place for a family
The house is really well located with deep water access , we had no problem docking our 32 ft boat. Everything was clean and in good operating order, the AC is really cold. Karen was extremely helpful and did everything to make our stay even better. We had an 8 months old with us, some of us flew in , other cross by boat from Florida and Karen’s communication and pertinent information made it very easy for all of to travel to Hope Town. We’ll come back.

This is a must do experience!
We loved this place! Karen and Robert were perfect hosts! They were there to pick us up as we got off the ferry and helped us every step of the way during our stay. We enjoyed using the dingy to travel into town, and eating the fish we caught while we were out with Robert. The house was clean and well decorated. Our only regret was not staying longer!

Peaceful and welcoming
Karen & Robert took great care of us. They were friendly and welcoming - waiting for us at the ferry when we arrived, getting us settled into the house and arranging for a rental boat. The house was comfortable, had every amenity you could need/want, and was in a relaxing garden setting. The house is a very close boat drive to a beautiful beach, the downtown area where there is a small grocery, restaurants, and more. We traveled with our two kids (age 9 & 11) and felt very comfortable and safe at the house and traveling about the island. We have traveled with our kids when they were younger as well and would certainly book a stay in this rental. Only thing to note with younger kids is there is a stair from the porch to the ground floor (though this is enclosed in screens which can be locked) and the canal and pool (also enclosed by a gate) are very close by. As long as you keep an eye on your little ones it would be a great location. Lots to explore and enjoy in the area. Karen was always ready with answers to our questions and gave helpful suggestions. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and encourage you to do the same!

Great house + great hosts = great vacation!
We had an incredible vacation and the house/property were exactly as advertised (probably prettier than the pictures). Karen met us upon arrival. She helped us unload all our things from our boat (we came by boat from FL). The kids enjoyed the use of the little boat that comes with the house to go exploring or go across to the beach. Nothing is walkable. Everything is by boat. There are tons of turrtes & we even had a manatee visit the dock twice. Karen gave us fresh key limes from the trees on the property. We had one issue with the a/c and it was replaced before we came back from our day out on the boat. Try to get that kind of service in the states! You have everything you need in the kitchen. There is a charcoal grill. Bring your own charcoal. One thing- there is no washer/dryer, but Karen will do your laundary for a small fee. The pool is small, but perfect for after boat relaxing time. Her husband did a 1/2 day charter for us & it was amazing. Lots of mutton snappers. The evening stars are spectacular. Make sure you go out to the dock at night. We were lucky enough to see the international space station fly by one night. It was a perfect vacation with wonderful hosts. We hope to return!

Fantastic property in a great location
This house is great! First, the location is perfect. It is protected enough to give you privacy, but close enough to all Hope Town has to offer! The dinghy that is provided is the perfect mode of transportation. The dock is huge and allowed us to keep our boat on the property. The house was immaculate. Hands down the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in....and perfectly suited for our family. The screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and the pool was great to cool off in after a day on the boat. Karen is the kindest person and really cares about the property and the guests!!

Absolutely Awesome! Not enough room on here to say how great this property is!
First off, the house was immaculate when we arrived. Not a thing was out of place nor, not sparkling clean. Karen and her husband are extremely pleasant and have created a very relaxing and inviting compound. Karen thought of everything for our stay. Attention to detail is very important to us and Karen had that covered to a T. The location is perfect. The use of the whaler is exceptional for running into town. We will be back next summer. Thanks for making our stay great Karen!

The property is beautiful! We love the garden and the quiet surrounding this home.
We love the Bahamas and completely enjoyed Gully's Ridge! Karen and family are exceptionally nice. We wish that we were still there. We particularly enjoyed the skiff. We would hum the tune of Gilligan's Island when riding in it. In addition, this is a great home for kids. They enjoyed the pool and the garden as much as the adults did. The only suggestion that I have is to warn families that there may be no trash bags, saran wrap, sandwich bags and foil etc. before they arrive at this wonderful and well kept home. This way supplies can be purchased beforehand and not after. In fact, these items could have been brought from the states at a reasonable cost which would have stocked the home for months.

Perfect in every way
This is the "real" Bahamas, with total comfort and charm. We spent a week at Karen and Robert's well-appointed cottage with our two small children and au pair, and we could not possibly have been more comfortable or entertained. We took the boat across the creek in the morning to an immaculate beach, then took advantage of the pool after naptime for a quick dip. The screened-in porch, with hammock, was prime spot to watch the sunrise. A really magical place.
