First time visitors to Abaco might wonder what is the difference between a rental home or a rental villa. There are resorts on Green Turtle Cay, Elbow Cay, Treasure Cay and elsewhere. There is an Inn on Green Turtle (not a resort) and a Lodge in Hope Town (a resort) - Confusing? Some explanation is in order. The Abaco definition of resort is a bit ambiguous but generally; Includes hotel and or resort owned property. Most include rental villas and houses (not necessarily owned by the resort). All resorts have bar(s), restaurant(s), and pool. Some are on the beach, some not, but compensate with a marina. None have a casino or disco. There is one Inn and one Lodge both are classified as are resorts. All are linked here, and described on our main page. Now we come to Rental Homes, which is self explanatory. Villas which are sometimes attached and Cottages are usually one room stand alone homes with minimum kitchen appliances: a microwave but no stove. Many of the latter are on the water with or without a dock. Finally there are numerous Eco Tourist / Adventure rentals. These are solar - 12 volt homes, some with A/C inverters but no air conditioning. Water is by cistern. Cooking by propane stove. Definitely for the adventurous and mostly found in remote areas like Lubbers Quarters.

Also note there are many more rental properties than we can possibly accommodate here. Our selection was determined by our first hand knowledge, establishment longevity and unsolicited first hand reports of others either personally or from one of the Abaco bulletin boards. Still, there are many others, so do a Google Search or check with the rental agencies linked here.

Finally: This page has been updated Feb 1, 2012 and all links were working Although we try and stay on top of things, vendors sometimes cancel web service without notice and some places close despite a posted website. If you find any discrepancies, please drop us a note by clicking here
