Oceanfront, Amazing Location! On Pristine White Sand Beach w/Coral Reef Offshore

Nestled in the dunes along a pristine white sand beach, SEA BISCUIT is a beachfront cottage that was crafted over 50 years ago by a local boatbuilding family. A true relic of the island's craftsmen, the wooden cottage provides a place to enjoy where sea, sky, sand, and coral reefs come together. See our website, SeaBiscuitBahamas.com , for helpful lists, maps, and more information about SEA BISCUIT, Man O War Cay, and the Abaco region of the Bahamas.

Whether you want to explore or relax, SEA BISCUIT is perfectly located for your Bahamas beach vacation. From sandcastle building to beach combing, and from kayaking to snorkeling among the coral reefs, there are endless options for those who love the sea. Relax with a book in a beachside hammock, enjoy your coffee on the deck at sunrise, or take a nighttime stroll in the sand and under the stars. Leave the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the surf on the shore. If the sea is your refuge, you will be restored at SEA BISCUIT.

SEA BISCUIT BEACH HOUSE sleeps 6. There are 2 traditional bedrooms, both with king size beds, and there is an open loft bedroom with 3 twin beds. (The loft is only accessed by a ship's ladder, so it is not suitable for young children.) There is a full bathroom located between the main bedrooms. There is a second bathroom located in the downstairs workshop that can be also be used, and its small shower is perfect for rinsing off after beach or boating adventures. SEA BISCUIT has a simple, efficient kitchen which is connected to the dining area and family room. A second beach side dining option is located on the elevated back deck and offers dazzling views of the sky, sea and shore. The family room has a smart TV which you can use to stream your favorite show (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) or watch one of your favorites from the house DVD collection. There are games in the cupboards for family game night, and a grill out back for cooking your catch of the day. 2 Sea Kayaks are available at the house for guests to use. Air conditioning, high speed internet, and large capacity washer and dryer are available for guests. Beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas and some snorkel gear are also included. A private mooring buoy in Eastern Harbour can be used by guests, as well as the Community Docks (first come first serve), and if needed, additional dock space may be available to rent (from others).

Currently, there is a 10% discount for monthly stays.

Extended family groups may want to consider renting "Beach Happy" which is located on the adjacent property (to the west). "Beach Happy" sleeps 12 and is a beautiful home with wrap around porches, 4 bedrooms, solar power, and a gourmet kitchen.

Sea Biscuit and Beach Happy are located on Man O War Cay, Abaco Bahamas. Man O War was settled by British Loyalists who left the American colonies after the U.S. Revolutionary War, and also the Eleutheran Adventurers who sought religious freedom and settled in the Bahamas during the 1600's. The European settlers were preceded by the Bahamian Lucayans who, archelogical evidence indicates, inhabited the Abacos as early as 700 AD. The earliest residents farmed and fished; and later occupants did the same and some were wreckers who salvaged vessels that were shipwrecked on the reefs. In the 1800's the island became well known for its boatbuilding and the renown Albury Brother's boats are still built on the island today. During your stay, you can visit the Albury's Sail Shop, Joe's Studio, and the Man O War Heritage Museum and Coffee Shop. The Man O War Marina Village is open for business with boat fuel and gift shop and a restaurant coming soon. Visitors can rent a golf cart to explore the island, or a boat to visit other islands and beaches. The Low Place is ideal for snorkeling and swimming, Fowl Cays National Park has amazing reefs for offshore diving and snorkeling, and Tahiti Beach is highly recommended for if you want to experience an amazing cast-away tropical sand bar paradise. Also recommended: climb the Hope Town lighthouse (built in 1862) and visit the Wyannie Malone Historical Museum. Take your boat to Firefly Sunset Resort and Abaco Inn on Elbow Key for great food, beautiful views, and a fun, island ambiance.

Information and maps for favorite things to do in and around Man O War are available for guests. Please let us know if you would like more information about travel logistics, boat rental recommendations, and Sea Biscuit amenities.

If you are interested in renting a boat, we highly recommend you do so as soon as possible upon making your reservation since boat rental demand often surpasses supply. Coach Pearl Boat Rental is located on Man O War and they will typically include use of a dock space with their rental. Please let us know if you would like a list of other boat rental businesses in the area. Rental of a golf cart is also recommended for on island convenience and adventures. (We recommend Sojer Cart Rental.) Demand for rental golf carts can also exceed supply, so we advise guests to reserve a cart early in order to ensure availability.

Man O War Cay Grocery is an excellent little grocery store conveniently located in the settlement. It is very clean, well stocked, and open Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays).

Please note that the following days are available for booking, but no scheduled arrivals or departures are allowed on these dates: December 24-26 and December 31-January 1.

Coming Soon: Sea Biscuit Guest House! Located in between Sea Biscuit Beach House and Beach Happy is a small house that will accommodate 2 guests. It will soon be available to rent for an additional fee with either Sea Biscuit (sleeps 6) or Beach Happy (sleeps 12) or independently. Please contact us for more details and for availability.

Island Paradise
Very nice, clean beach front house. Secluded and quiet. Sandy was very responsive to questions before booking and helpful with local knowledge. Be prepared for possible power outages which were few and short but can happen. We were very satisfied with the property and would stay there again.

Beautiful ocean view
We absolutely loved Sea Biscuit. Perfect size for us . Beautiful sea views. Very comfortable in every way. Seas were rough on the Atlantic side for a few days And then settled down. Snorkeling just off the beach in front of the house. All the neighbors were super nice, too!

blissfully memorable!
This home is special....wonderfully furbished for a beach house and, when they say, "on the beach" this is true!!!! The elevated/octagonal deck is perfect for morning coffee and watching the sunrise and in the evening watching the moon rise over the water! At night we were lulled to sleep by the rhythm of the surf. There is all the equipment one could want for seaside activities...kayaks, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and on and on. The kitchen is well equipped and has staples on hand. There is a game cupboard and a nice choice of books on the shelves. The laminated info. on the home, what to do on the island, places to eat, maps of Man-o'-War and surrounding areas is comprehensive. We heartily give this home "Sea Biscuit" a 5 star review. The caretakers were terrific too!!! Susan & co.

Awesome home on the beach
We spent 2 weeks at this house on man-o-war. The property manager and owners were great! The location was perfect, our kids and wife loved swimming out front. I had to work while there and the Internet was fast. The house was stocked with everything we needed including snorkel gear and life jackets. We really enjoyed our stay and the people of MoW. Loved watching the storms blow in from under the covered deck and the hammock was great to hang out in the shade on the hot days. Great vacation! We hope to rent again in the future. Thank you Char and Sandy!!

Loved our stay!
Our family had a wonderful time at Sea Biscuit! The views were amazing! Loved being right on the beach, and able to enjoy the view and breezes both rain or shine thanks to having both a covered porch and open air deck! The snorkeling, kayaking, and shell collecting right from the house kept the teens busy! The house was comfortable and well appointed, from kitchen appliances/supplies to comfortable beds and wifi, we had all we needed to enjoy our stay! Both the owner, Sandy, and the caretakers, Glen and Char, were easy to communicate with and were able to assist us with any questions we had. There were a few power outages during storms, but the back up generator came in handy! We loved exploring MOW island and surrounding islands with the rental golf cart and boat. Sandy’s email prior to our stay contained many helpful recommendations, and we also enjoying reading through the book at the house with their list of “favorite” places to explore. Thanks for a great stay! We hope to return again!

Salty dog summer tour
Special, so close to the ocean, slept with windows open every night MOW is a relaxed laid back community We’ve stayed all over the Abaco over 20+ yrs and this location was the best because of the beach being right outside the back deck. Dave Albury boat rentals, can’t recommend him enough, Quality man with quality product, nicest rental boat I’ve ever had…

Perfect Getaway
We had a wonderful time at this property! Great location, right on the beach. Plenty of beach chairs & games/toys (boogie board, kayak, cornhole, volleyball, etc), new washer & dryer and very comfortable beds. We were able to get into the property early & stay late on our departure day, which was incredibly helpful. The caretakers even came & checked on us during a power outage and brought us a flashlight!

Great Location and Host
Host was very helpful getting us to the property. Staying on this island can be intimidating. (Customs, Inter-Island Flights, Ferry schedule, etc). We missed our ferry, had to hire a charter to the island, but the host was there waiting for us, with a golf cart to transport us and our luggage. I highly recommend large families rent a golf cart, but if you're looking for a peaceful, oceanside oasis, this is it! 5 minutes from boat rental dock too. We made several island hops! When I go back, traveling withcarry-on only. Less is more! On-site laundry makes packing so much easier. Host had fishing rods, reels, and adult snorkel gear too. On-island grocery is perfect for food. Great people... at EVERY stop we made. Very welcoming.
