About this property
A boater's dream home with a private dock UP THE CREEK from Hope Town Harbor.
Welcome to Up The Creek – Your Private Slice of Paradise Nestled on a secluded peninsula in the tranquil waters of Hope Town Harbour, Up The Creek is a boat-access-only retreat designed for families and friends seeking a peaceful island escape. **This home is not accessible by golf cart or car. ** This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features a 100-foot private dock and offers the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and natural beauty.
Room to Roam & Relax Set on over an acre of lush tropical landscaping, the property provides ample space for outdoor fun and sun-soaked lounging. Inside, the main floor boasts two king bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom for added privacy and convenience.
Loft Living with a View The third bedroom is tucked away in a cozy loft, complete with its own ensuite bath and accessed via a ship-style ladder. While it's a favorite for adventurous guests, we recommend it only for those comfortable with climbing.
Island-Inspired Entertaining The fully stocked kitchen features a large pass-through window that doubles as a bar—perfect for serving drinks and snacks to guests relaxing on the screened-in porch. From there, enjoy serene views of the dock and harbor, whether you're sipping morning coffee or winding down after a day on the water.

Dockside Perks Tie up at our brand-new covered dock, equipped with electricity and fresh water for your convenience. After a day on the water, take advantage of the fish cleaning station to prep your catch for dinner.
Unwind in Style As the sun sets, settle into the Adirondack chairs at the end of the dock—perfect for sipping a drink, swapping stories, or simply soaking in the peaceful creek views.

Mrs. Karen, the property manager, went above and beyond helping us get checked in and throughout our trip. The dinghy included was awesome as well. We really enjoyed using it to get to and from town. We definitely plan to come back!
Up The Creek was awesome! The home was large enough and very comfortable for our family of 5. We all loved the big dock and dinghy. Taking the dinghy to the harbor every night was definitely a highlight. Jumping in our golf cart to the many great restaurants was also a fun adventure. Karen, the caretaker was super helpful! Her communication was great and her husband even helped with an early morning ferry drop off. We all would highly recommend Up The Creek!
Property was as described. You didn’t need a boat or to know how to operate a small tender to get around most of the time but the properties very cute with plenty of dock space. Karen/manager was awesome as were the owners.
We could not have had a better trip to Elbow Cay. After sailing around the Abacos, we landed at this beautiful property, complete with a dinghy for getting around the harbor. The house is located up the creek in a private area which is still very close to town. Being accessible primarily by boat was not a problem and added to the adventure of it all. The property manager, Karen, made us feel so welcome and was super helpful with everything, including finding what we needed for an injured toe! Highly recommend this house… I would definitely stay there again!!
I wish I could give more than the top "5-star rating" for this property. Not only is the property represented to a T in the VRBO listing, the property manager was nothing less than "family" (she lives a few doors down), the way she catered to us during our stay. I loved the location being separated a bit from the daily noise and road/tourism traffic and makes you feel you are on your own island with immediate access to the Cay via your own small boat to cross the creek to get to town. We did have our own boat (26' center console with twin 150's) which was easily moored to the dock and accessible at low tide without a worry on the draft. We WILL return and will be sure to check the availability of this home during our next visit! Thank you Lynsey and Karen for the best trip we have had to the islands!
Our group of 6 stayed here for 5 nights. The only difference you will notice between the actual house and the listing is that get so much more! When you read "well equipped kitchen", it really means that there is everything you could possibly need/want. The house was super clean and literally left us wanting for nothing. It's much closer to "town" than I thought it would be but you still feel like you are on a secluded island. The house manager, Karen and her husband, live down a path next to the house and were the nicest, most helpful couple you could ask for! Lynsey answered all of my emails so quickly before the trip and was beyond helpful with a few of the travel issues that arose before we got there. It was truly a pleasure having her help, along with Karen's, for our trip.I can't recommend this house enough for your visit to Elbow Cay!
