Unfortunately, with no naturally occurring water source on the island we rely solely on collecting and manufacturing our own water. As such, water is a precious commodity which is why there are NO laundry facilities available at the house. We limit the use of our laundry equipment to be used by our cleaners only. If laundry is necessary for your stay there are several options on the island from self serve laundromats to full service that will wash and fold your laundry, all for a nominal fee. Our caretaker (local) is available for any needs
________________________________
We have taken extra precautions to assure that our home remains as clean as possible. After each stay all high touch surfaces including tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, handrails, light switches, remotes, wardrobe and cabinet handles, desks, toilets, sinks, bedside tables, and kitchen and bathroom surfaces will both be cleaned and disinfected.
Although we do have a supply of hand sanitizers throughout the house we do suggest bringing extra hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray and anti-bacterial soap with you.
We do have WiFi service throughout the house and TV's where you can stream programs but please keep in mind that this is still the Bahamas so speeds and connectivity might not always be what you are accustomed to back home.

GUEST COMMENTS
"Our family of 6 and 9 month old baby had plenty of room - a great floor plan for privacy. The pool and outdoor space gives plenty of different activities."

"Fantastic house, great location in the center of Elbow Cay. Everything we needed, and more! The pool is awesome, shade in every spot on the deck and a wonderful breeze from the ocean! The two rooms downstairs are not right next to each other which was great! Bed/Bath upstairs was awesome. Unlike some houses, this one stayed cool and the generator was great because we did lose power a few times. The owners were great, as was Jamie, the caretaker. Don't look any further and book this house, you won't regret it. We will be back!"

"Great home with lovely views. Our week on Elbow Cay was paradise. We had everything we needed and the kids loved the pool. Our daughter took her first non-assisted swimming strokes in the pool! We found good places to eat and drink and Tahiti Beach was a favorite daily activity. Jaimie took care of us on the island and the owners were very responsive hosts. We hope to be back soon!"

"Catch a Wave was absolutely wonderful! The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed! The beds were so so comfortable!! Loved the outdoor space and pool! We had coffee each morning on the porch looking out towards the ocean- it was amazing. Golf cart that we rented with the house was great and the caretaker texted us to check on us and offered to help us with anything we needed. We hope to rent this house again the next time we return to Elbow Cay!!
