The outside has a secluded deck with a table large enough for your family to enjoy. We only wished it had a front porch to people watch and mirrors in the bedrooms (also in need of a full length mirror). We all said we would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

I will check with the owner about mirrors. Thanks for the suggestion!

Fabulous house and location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had nearly 3 weeks in Dunwanderin and loved every minute. It is one of the houses which survived the hurricane and is full of history and charming details. It is comfortable and very well provided. The little patio deck outside was lovely particularly in the early morning and evening. Although it doesn't have a 'view' as such, it is close to everything in Hope Town, and there are views in every direction within a few yards of stepping outside. Captain Jack's is just round the corner and Vernon's Grocery right behind. You can view the sunset within a few minutes walk to the kissing seat, and the ocean a short walk to the east, with a wonderful beach to swim in. The Lower Dock is very close and you can get the free shuttle over to the Lighthouse marina very easily. The Elbow Cay office was round the corner, so very easy to sort anything out and arrange help at departure! They couldn't have been more helpful. We would love to return - and Dunwanderin would be our first choice.

Sweet cottage in Hopetown

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 had a lovely stay at Dunwanderin. It’s right in the gated settlement area and an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, shops & groceries. Everything worked well and the house is very charming. It is not a modern, large house, but that’s not what we were looking for. By far the best part of the home was the beautiful back patio and outdoor shower. I looked forward to showering under the beautiful bougainvillea and stars every night! Great water pressure and hot water! If I were to make a suggestion to the owners- put a queen size bed in the downstairs bedroom. We we a family of 4 with a teenage son and daughter. We put them in the upstairs bedrooms and took the downstairs for a little separation. The bed was a little small. The golf cart parking was a bit of a pain, but once you settle into the pace of Hopetown it’s no big deal. Wi-Fi was great. TV not so much, but we did not care.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect for our family of five. Our adult children had the upstairs floor to themselves complete with a full bath, yet funny how we all stood in line to take a shower in the outside cabana! House cozy and clean. Kitchen fully equipped. Conveniently located behind Vernon’s Grocery and Munchies. So close to Jack’s you can walk home after a few “Jackhammers”and not get lost! Our caretaker, Francois, was kind and courteous. Thanks to all for our stay. We shall return.
