About this property
Oceanfront Beauty 6 KING beds/6 baths! Big Pool and Volleyball Court. or Pickle?
Southern Cross of the Abacos on Elbow Cay is one of the Finest Oceanfront Rental Properties on the Island.
Centrally located -1/2 Mile North of The Abaco Inn
1/2 Mile South to Firefly!
On da Beach Restaurant is a Short walk Away.
Southern Cross is ideally designed for families and groups of Couples- or BOTH!
Post Dorian, We have made many improvements with New Kitchen Countertops and a Large New Grilling Deck to the South!
The Island is Better than Ever. Abaco Inn has Expanded and a New Sea Spray Marina!
We have a 30 Kw John Deere Generator on Property that gets serviced monthly.
We will have added a New Deck on the South Side of the Property adjacent to the Kitchen that will be great for Cocktails and Grilling and catch the Sunset over the Sea of Abaco to the South and West.
This being built in Jan 2024. All New Deck Furniture around the Pool area.
This OCEAN Front House has 6 KING Beds and 6 Private Bathrooms .
The Living Space sits on the top Floor with 360 Views of the Ocean and views of White Sound and Marsh Harbor to the South and West.
We are one of the few Vacation Rental homes on the Island to have 6 King Bedrooms and 6 private baths! ( Isn't it nice to go on vacation with a few couples and have your own private bathroom? )
Fully outfitted Kitchen upstairs and Spacious Living Room with Oceanfront Deck, a large 12 person Dining Area and 2 adjacent upstairs Master Bedrooms.
Large Ocean Front 35 foot Pool and Decks with steps right down to the Beach!
There is even a separate Ocean front deck and gazebo area with views up and down the White Sound Beach.
We have a Large Lawn and Volley ball Court in our Backyard.
Southern Cross was designed specifically for your Vacation Rental Enjoyment. 3,000+ square feet of OCEANFRONT beach living at its finest with 35 ft beachside in-ground Pool and expansive decking.
Southern Cross offers direct beach access - Walk just steps to our beach. White sand beaches and plush dunes surround the home. We are just a little ways down from the 'surf' hot spot of the island...The islands famous Tahiti Beach is just a short golf cart ride away past the New Sea Spray Marina to the South.
Family Board Games and beach toys are at the house as well.... Lots of Recreational and Fitness options offered, We also have Large Jenga Block Game.
Of course we also offer central Air conditioning . 30 KW John Deere Diesel Generator. We do allow our tenants to access our Laundry room - washer and dryer are included for your usage.
Wifi, Satellite, Microwave, Water Filtration System , Dish Washer, gas stove, Side by Side refrigerator with water/ice dispenser...no details are left undone. We also have a propane BBQ for your grilling needs.
All of the walls in our home have white washed wood paneling, and tiled floors throughout. Two out of 6 bathrooms have full tubs with showers, and the other 4 have showers.
We take pride in our home and want to share our knowledge and experience of the island’s amenities with you . Please ask us any questions, we want to make your experience enjoyable and memorable.
We do offer as part of our rental pick up/drop off of guests and their luggage at the Hopetown Ferry Boat dock . Golf Carts are available for rent from local companies as are Boats.
The ABACO Inn is 1/2 Mile to the South, and the Firefly is 1/2 mile to the West. Mackeys Restaurant take out for breakfast, lunch and dinner is across the street- and their FOOD is great!
Please contact us with any questions about Southern Cross, Boating, Flights, golf carts, boat rentals and any other questions you may have regarding your Visit.
Come and share in the GOOD LIFE Southern Cross has to offer.
My other property, BAHAMIAN RHAPSODY- is now fully renovated and just up the beach. It is a 7 Bedroom/6 bath. Across the Street from the Ocean but has Elevated and Unobstructed views of the South End of the Island.
Current US passports are always required for entry into the Bahamas. No covid test required to enter island at this time. Please check www.travel.gov.bs for continued updates.
We HIGHLY recommend Travel Insurance for ANY Trip outside the US...Just in case....
We will reimburse for travel INSURANCE if Booked during Hurricane Season. Only for the months of August 19 thru September and October. Must be a good plan with coverage for Hurricanes, storms and flight issues and not VRBO insurance, as they do not have good coverage for hurricane events..

About the host
Hosted by Michael (Mike) Shields
We "discovered" Elbow Cay in 2013 thanks to some Close Friends. I decided to buy a property here and found a great piece of Oceanfront and wonderful builder.
With his help, we designed a 6 Bedroom, 6 bath house with the Living Space upstairs.
We think it turned out great.
