Charming and Comfy

Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. We love Hopetown and have visited often, but this was the first time we've stayed right in town. It was really fun and the convenience was perfect for our group of four senior citizens.

Perfect Easy Getaway

Pa Willie’s is perfectly situated in Hopetown. We enjoyed long walks every day and visiting our favorite spots by golf cart and boat, which was especially easy with the property’s dock and cart parking. We had everything we needed for our stay and everything was in working order. The bed was very comfortable and the house was very clean.

Simple Pleasures

We stayed at this classic settlement home with a party of 4 adults. It was comfortable and convenient. We could sit on the porch to read or we could explore Hope Town and the north end on foot. A beautiful beach was steps away. The house provided a relaxing week after a prior chaotic week stay with family.

Great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’re a family that keeps coming back to Hopetown and this was the best place to stayed based on our family needs. The beach was a quick walk away for the kids and so was the playground. The kitchen was well stocked with what was needed to cook. Great place overall.

Perfect week in Hope Town

A very traditional Bahamian home in the heat of heart town. Has everything you need except food. A stop at Marsh Harbor grocery might be a good idea if you’re picky about what you like. Three stores on the island however limited choices. You’ll definitely need a golf cart if you want to explore the island. We’ll definitely recommend this property to any of our friends heading to Elbow Csy. Lory is a wonderful house manager. Julie Boardman

Hope Town Thanksgiving

We loved our stay at pa Willie’s. The house was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed our coffee on the front porch and grilling in the back yard for supper. We loved the boat slip and being so close to the playground. Lory was very helpful welcoming us and answering any questions we had. We will be back!! Best vacation ever.

Loved Pa Willie’s

The house was comfortable and met all of our expectations. We were a bit confused as to how to get there ‐ from the Post Office Dock, walk to the second cross street and turn right... a few houses past the Methodist Church. Short walk to the beach. The only problem was that the water in the upstairs sink didn't work but everything else was wonderful!!

Great Week!

We had a great week at Pa Willies. Great location that is easy walking distance to anything in Hopetown. Easy walk from the ferry to unload at the post office dock. And the best part, Lory went out of her way to assist when i left an important item behind. Would recommend.

Sweet, Comfortable, Convenient and Easy

Following great communications with Lory - Pa Willies does not disappoint. After 25 years of holidays in the area this was our first time staying in Hope Town itself and Pa Willies made it perfect! The property is fully outfitted and a only short walk away from beaches, its included dock, Vernon’s and a just short drive to other old and new favorites. We will book again

Sweet Place

My husband and I spent a wonderful week with friends in this sweet, historical cottage. Located in the middle of the settlement, we walked every where. Or grabbed a shuttle ferry to cross the marina to the picturesque lighthouse. The owner was nearby and very attentive. The cottage is cozy and restored with comfort in mind. Loved the front porch.

Perfectly situated home away from home

We were so pleased with Pa Willies when we arrived. The house is located on a quiet street yet steps away from the Post Office dock. The house was clean and cool . The beach is also just a stroll away. Golf cart parking is very close as are the shops, Capt’ Jack’s, Scoops ice cream and Vernon’s store. The playground and shuttle to the Abaco Inn and Marina are right there, too. Lori was easily reached and helful answering questions. We would love to return to Pa Willie’s next year.

Pa Willie's

The property was clean and was as advertised. Very central to Hope Town. The property was well-maintained, and Lory was very responsive, even when we (elderly geezers) couldn't figure out how to turn on the TV. She came over to help us, but we found that we just didn't need to watch TV, even during the one rainy day we had. All in all, it was a delightful place to stay. Very comfortable.

We loved the house and the location. The upstairs bedroom was a might short for my 6' tall son. We had a little trouble finding the house... we were standing in front of it, but no name on the house like most houses. But we got in... and relax after a long day's traveling. Thank you so much.

Cute 'In Town' Antique Home

Pa Willie's is an adorable cottage just across the street from Post Office Dock. Very easy to get to/from Marsh Harbour Ferry to the house. A surprise to us was a second upstairs bedroom. Tall people beware, the upstairs is not for you. The downstairs main bedroom/bath are fine for everybody. We had a few technical issues with the gas grill and oven, but the owners were very quick to come over and fix them. Super-good air conditioning! Everything was great. I would recommend that the owners provide a few folding beach chairs, otherwise, we loved our stay. Thank you!
