Fall Break
Our large group enjoyed our time in Elbow Cay at Southern Cross. The caretaker and property owner/assistant were beyond helpful in ensuring our stay was enjoyable. The property was in a great location for all of our needs. The oven had some issues, but the owner assured us he was working to correct them. During our stay, we discovered a shower leak. The caretaker immediately addressed the issue, but sadly it couldn’t be fixed during our stay. Thankfully, the property has ample bedrooms and showers, so we were just fine. Southern Cross is a great property for families or groups of friends!

Worst rental ever
The property was not in a good condition.There is a major safety issue with a 3rd story porch and staircase with no pickets under the handrail.The power on the island went out once or twice a day.The house advertises a generator but it didn’t work. We had multiple suppers that we had to change plans because the power was out and the generator wouldn’t run.This caused us a lot of issues with meals and showers as the water is all through a pump, so no power-no water. The pool and deck doesn’t look like the pictures.While we were there, we ran out of propane, so we had to find a tank to swap to be able to cook dinner. In the kitchen, there was a cabinet door falling off the hinges. The built in showers are so narrow, you can barely turn around in them. The water pump could barely support a shower or two at a time. We had to take turns showering to have enough water to get the soap off. Most of the beds were uncomfortable. To sum it up, the house looks like it has had no maintenance done to it in years. I contacted the owner on the 3rd day to explain the difficulty we were having and he only made excuses for how bad the Bahamian people are to do work. I asked for a rate concession based on all the issues, instead they charged our deposit for a broken fixture that was broken when we got there. The house is not worth the price they charge.

Elbow has power issues
Yes. This place has a backup generator. The generator works. The automated cutover to generator did not. So long time with no lights, A/C, or water when commercial power fails. The guy eventually showed up to manually cutover.

Fantastic location!
We had a fantastic week staying at Southern Cross! This beach front house is the perfect location. It is steps from Mackey’s an all around great spot with fresh baked bread and bakery items, gourmet coffee, as well as lunch and dinner take away items- and can’t forget ice cream! Walk or take the golf cart to Abaco Inn and Seaspray for drinks or lunch/dinner. Very short golf cart ride to Firefly or On Da Beach for drinks or meal. The kitchen is well stocked with all cooking essentials and it was nice to have a good supply of spices for your use. The beds were super comfy and it was terrific that each bedroom has its own bath. The home has 2 sets of washers and dryers, and 2 refrigerators which was great. Caroline, the house manager, was very responsive to every need or question. Fabulous stay- would highly recommend!
