Beautiful home with wifi, tv, A/C, private dock, & backup generator power

Hurricane Dorian wrecked havoc to our beautiful island on September 1, 2019. We have been working hard to restore/rebuild our property. We are pleased to announce the opening of both our rental homes, Gully's Ridge and Gully's Nest as well as the pool.

Located on an inlet waterway fed by the Hope Town harbour, the ONLY access to our property is by boat. We are close to the settlement but in a peaceful, private setting. The home features a private dock w/ dingy provided for harbour use, wifi, Sat. TV, A/C, and backup generator power. If your party contains more than 5 people, you'll need more space than Gully's Nest provides. Please check her sister property, Gully's Ridge # 170331 which can accommodate 7 additional guests for it's availability. We look forward to welcoming you to Seagull Cottages in the near future.

The main access to our property is by boat, but there is a foot/bicycle path as well. Gully's Nest has two bedrooms suites that flank the living/dining and kitchen area of this beautiful, secluded vacation rental home. For a couple, you can rent this home as a one bedroom/one bath home for a discounted rate. Please inquire. The home also has a large screened in porch to sit and enjoy the tropical breeze, relax in the hammock, or watch your kids play in the pool just steps from the front door. The home is surrounded by fruit trees and natural vegetation which keeps the privacy and peaceful setting in tact. We are close to the settlement for your convenience of getting to the grocery stores, gift shops and restaurants and just a stone's throw away for one of the prettiest beaches in the Abacos. Traverse across the inlet waterway in the dingy provided and walk over a small hill to a gorgeous white sandy beach on the Atlantic side of the island. We also offer and give discounts to our rental guests for Deep Sea Fishing Charters with the legendary Abaco fishing guide, Cap'n Robert Lowe. Fulfill your adventurous spirit and land a big one in the Atlantic Ocean. You can also climb our historically famous red and white candy striped lighthouse. It is the last lighthouse in the world that is still manually operated. There is a wonderful museum in the settlement full of artifacts and information of how the island was settled by Carolinian's who came here after the revolutionary war to stay loyal to the queen. You can reserve an "island hopping tour" with us or rent a boat and go exploring our neighbor islands and appreciate each one for their own independent charm or go to one of our national sea parks and snorkel over the colorful reefs full of sea life. Lots of history and activities to see and do while slowing down on your vacation and relaxing with the 'island pace.'

Finally, if you have other friends or family that want to join you, we also have another 3bedroom/2bath rental home, known as Gully's Ridge, on an adjacent property. Between the two properties, we can accommodate up to 12 people. It is nice 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!

Perfect Bahamas Vacation
What a glorious and relaxing stay we had at Gully's Nest! We loved the quiet location, away from the main road but quickly accessible by the dinghy to where our golf cart awaited. The property had ideal docking for our rental boat as well. Gully's Nest was warm, inviting, and comfortable, and our hosts were so kind and hospitable. Thank you for welcoming us into your home!! We hope to return for another visit!!

Easy Living
Absolutely loved the house, the quiet surroundings, and Karen and Robert were extremely helpful. We enjoyed getting a bit more of a sense of a local flavor by getting away from the marina and meeting folks at the dock as they cleaned their fish. The house itself had everything we needed - great place

Best decision to stay here!
You won’t regret taking this stunning location. It’s water access only, but you get a little boat to head into town any time you want (3 minutes by boat may be exaggerating how long it takes!). The pool is awesome as well. Super refreshing. The lot is so private. The birds sound beautiful there and the limes from the key lime tree are delicious! Do follow Karen’s advice to do the following: 1. Take a cab from airport to marsh harbour 2. If you have time, stop at Maxwells and get your groceries. Get as much as you need and have them put it in boxes. It works!! Stop and get beer or wine as well. 3. When you get to the ferry at marsh harbour, load your stuff in a wagon and bring your stuff to the dock. They will load everything on the boat for you. 4. When you get to the last stop LODGE DOCK, karen or Robert will meet you on their boat. You literally hand your bags and boxes of food over the side into their boat. Once on property, your stuff gets loaded into a golf cart and driven up to your place. That was soooo easy!!! Charter Robert to take you fishing. He knows these waters and you will have a great time! (This is from someone who is anxious on the water!) You are in good hands with Robert and Karen. Enjoy your time there. You won’t regret staying here!!

Great Stay
We had a great time at Gully's Nest. This was our 4th trip to Abaco in 8 years (3rd time in 4 years) but our first visit to Seagull Cottages. The house is in good shape and is bigger than I expected from the photos. The five of us (one on an air mattress) had plenty of room. In addition we hosted two dinner gatherings for family and friends of at least 10-12 people with no problem. On of the the dinners was a fish dinner with fresh Mutton Snapper thanks to a fishing charter with had with Robert (Karen's husband). The pool was clean and a nice treat to have after spending the day on the water. Karen, Robert and their family live on the property and are good people, very helpful, but not intrusive. You can see them as much or as little as you want. Karen was a big help in resolving a problem I had with a golf cart rental. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the cottage, and will rent there again when back in Abaco. A reminder that the house is only accessible by boat, which was no problem for us, but must be considered when renting.

What a fabulous experience we had staying at Gullys nest in Elbow Cay. The location was perfect as it was extremely quite and peaceful but only a few minutes by boat to the picturesque little town of Hope Town. The small boat is provided free of charge which was perfect. The home itself was more than we could have hoped for. Extremely well maintained and clean with just the right amount of Bahamian flare. It was very spacious and well priced for Elbow Cay. Upon arrival Karen, the owner had picked an assortment of fruit from there own fruit trees and had this for us to snack on. We have stayed at many VRBO'S over the years and she was by far the most amazing host to date. She has lived on the Island for for many years and knows everyone. This was such a help to us when it came to booking a larger boat to check out some other islands and the golf cart we rented for a few days. She was always on hand with great suggestions for restuarants, things to see on the Island and places to visit on the other islands. She told us where to find the best beach on the island which was just across the canal from her home and where we had the entire beach to ourselves. My husband had a very badly sprained ankle which occurred the day we left for our vacation and Karen went out of her way to call around the friends on the island and found us a cane for him to hobble around on. She would bend over backwards for us and was so giving it made our trip even more enjoyable. Her husband is a local and is the best fisherman on the Island, unfortunately for us he was away fishing while we were there our we would have booked a day of fishing with him. This was highly recommended by many people we met. You will not be disappointed if you choose to spend your holiday at this home and the warmth and generosity of the host will just enhance your experience.

One of or favorites!
We first experience Gully’s Nest (2BR 2BA) when some friends invited us to join them at Hope Town. Seagull Cottages was their regular place to stay, and has also become ours in our yearly visit to Hope Town. The facilities meet our needs and desires well. The private dock and fish cleaning station are a blessing. We have our own boat, but still charter Robert for at least half a day (renters get a discount), because the experience is that good. While I go fishing, my wife chooses to lounge on the porch or by the pool, or to explore the shops in town. With the rental comes a small boat which makes going to town or exploring the harbor a simple possibility. The easy access docks make getting in and out of the boats pretty easy no matter how high or low the tide. We especially enjoy Gully's Ridge because it's close enough to the restaurants and what's happening in town, but also provides us a sense of privacy. Robert and Karen are wonderful and friendly hosts, and the dock to door service is great.
