About this property

Private Bahamian Paradise

LookOut Ridge offers the quintessential opportunity to properly appreciate the Island Paradise. The Bahamian roots of this property have been honored and enhanced. Its expert combination of materials will charm you. Design elements, and finely appointed furnishings create a very special retreat that is the essence of quiet, simple luxury.

Man-O-War Cay, in the Abaco Island Chain, is by far the most beautiful and charming in the Bahamas. It is truly a tropical Paradise. Rich in history, it was settled in the1700s by Loyalists wishing to remain under British rule and today still retains something of a colonial flavor. Its boat building industry is still thriving today. The people there, whether local, expat, or visitor, are incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful and exude an unaffected charm.

The area offers first class fishing, diving, and snorkeling on the third largest coral reef in the world. MOW has a great coffee shop/museum, good grocery store, hardware store, and several small shops...and all only five minutes away by boat within the harbour.

LookOut Ridge perches on one of the highest points on the island. From there you enjoy wonderful breezes and incredibly gorgeous views of the Sea of Abaco in front and the Eastern Harbour behind. The Sea of Abaco side has its own swim platform with hand hewn steps to the water. On the Eastern Harbour side is a private dock. The property is accessed only by boat, ensuring privacy and quiet. Two kayaks are available at the cottage for exploration, beach fun, or visiting the Settlement. Motor boats are available for rent in Marsh Harbour or on MOW.

Very special property features:
The beautifully preserved and enhanced hip ceiling.
The well appointed and equipped kitchen.
New HVAC with dehumidifiers.
Two huge glass sliding pocket doors that give the feeling of outside living.
Custom doors and paneling.
Incredible views.
Lush tropical growth.
Back up diesel generator. (the power occasionally goes out in the Abaco's, when it does the gen. comes on proving power)
Privacy, Privacy, Privacy. This property is only accessible by boat, insuring an utterly quiet and peaceful retreat, while only a five minute boat ride to the two public docks in town.

Many visitors rent their boat in Marsh Harbor, where you will land if flying. Man O War is a 15 minute boat ride to your dock (Dock 39) on our property. After a short flight from South Florida to Marsh Harbour. (There is also a direct flight from Atlanta) and a 12 minute taxi ride on the Ferry, you will arrive at MOW within about 20 minutes. On the way, ask the Ferry Captain to drop you off at Dock 39 in Eastern Harbour. Follow the side walk up to your Bahamian cottage at the top of the Ridge.

Keep this place a secret
We will be back. The house is perfect for 4 that want to enjoy a quick trip in the center of everything. Boating over from MH is 15min, the lagoon was awesome for swimming and floating around in the evening after island hopping. We got lobster, grouper, and saw tons of fish on the sea side daily. The house has everything you need, the kitchen was very well stocked, lots of towels, the beds were comfortable, and the air conditioners kept that house cold. There is a nice outdoor shower, a full size fridge, washer and dryer, and a couple other things that we weren't expecting. Absolutely super little small quaint island home. We ran out of gas, connected with the host, and had gas before I woke up in the morning. We couldn't have picked a better place. I'm only leaving this review because I promised I would. Otherwise I don't want anybody else to know about it, kidding, but hopefully its available when we look. We will definitely be back soon. Enjoy

The Best
The home is great. Clean, comfortable, quiet and great views. Very private…. Feel like you are in a botanical garden. Easy access to many local towns and things to do. Communication is always key in my business and it doesn’t get better than Britton. She was always available, sweet and helped us get in contact with the right people to fix our boat. We will be going back and will tell our boating friends about this home. 100% recommended!
