Quiet, serene Lubbers Quarters is away from the frenzy of tourist attractions, but near all the island activities for a relaxing, fun-filled, adventurous vacation!! Abaco is a paradise for boaters, snorkelers divers, fishermen, beachcombers or those just wishing to unwind and relax.

Renting a small runabout is essential for living the island life to the fullest. A private protected slip for a boat up to 26' is included.

We can make recommendations for boat rental agencies or renting a boat with a guide.

Lubbers Quarters lies protected from ocean swells in the clear, turquoise Sea of Abaco. Located between Marsh Harbour and Elbow Cay (pronounced “key”), approximately 3 miles south of Hope Town, it is one mile long and ½ mile wide. The island offers secluded beaches for swimming, sunbathing or shell collecting, paths for walking or jogging among lush tropical flora and foliage, bird watching, and lots of peace and quiet. There are no bright lights, and the night sky is a star-studded showcase!!!

For meals and drinks out, there is "Lubbers Landing", an island style bar and restaurant on the island. Delicious desserts and homemade bread are available for delivery or pickup from Nancy Cash at Lubbers Bakery. Best rum cake anywhere!!! Michael Schreiner of Down Deep sells fresh fish and lobster (in season). Michael is also available for fishing charters and sight-seeing excursions. A 10 to 45 minute boat ride allows even more exploring, dining, and shopping opportunities. Island hopping is a favorite pastime.

Abaco is a fisherman’s paradise. Lobster may be caught in season, and conchs are available year round. Several charter captains are available for offshore fishing or bone fishing in the flats. Bring your fishing gear and catch your own in the Sea of Abaco.

Uncrowded reefs for snorkeling and diving make up some of the best marine-life adventures in the world. You can “do it yourself”, or there are several experienced dive operators available for tours, excursions, training, certification and charter. The three best reefs for snorkeling & diving are Sandy Cay Reef, Fowl Cay Reef and Johnny’s Cay. Sandy Cay Reef is in the Pelican Cays Land and Sea Park and has moorings for small boats. Fowl Cay is part of the Bahamian National Trust Preserve. All these are accessible with your rental boat or can be part of a tour with a local charter. We also can provide 'local knowledge' of off-the-beaten-path spots for exploring and snorkeling.

If you are a first time visitor to Lubbers Quarters or Abaco, please let us know. We will help you have a smooth arrival to our little island paradise.

A quiet paradise
We had an amazing time relaxing at Gone Bananas! The home has everything you could need or want. Owners Patti and David were available to help with questions and to help us navigate our first visit to the Bahamas. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful oasis away from busy tourist-type areas, this is your place. One of the most beautiful and relaxing places we have experienced. We are so thankful we choose Gone Bananas! It was a wonderful adventure we can't wait to do it again!

Lubbers Quarters Cay - Gone Bananas-Banana Split
Lubbers Quarters Cay in the beautiful Abaco Sea brought back fond memories for our grown family. After long sunny days of boating, snorkeling and visiting surrounding islands for white sandy beaches and lunches out and easy grocery shopping Gone Bananas was the perfect place to come home to at sunset. The luxury home is well appointed and was where gathered to make family meals and play games around the large dining room table . The internet was a plus as our kids could check in with work remotely. The Gone Bananas 6 seat golf cart was a bonus and we could easily get around the cay to our provided boat slip and easily get to the local restaurant, Lubbers Landing, for food and drinks. Patti and Dave greeted us upon arrival and were very accessible for any questions and tips before and during our exciting and memorable vacation.

Abaco!
I have been coming down to Abaco for over 28 years now and the area and people never disappoint. This was our first time staying on Lubbers and we really enjoyed the house. Patti and Dave were great and the house was very centrally located

We live on the island and are available for assistance and local knowledge if desired to plan your trip and activities. We are both retired and love living the island life. Our names are Patti and David Hanafourde. David is an avid racing sailor and is past Commodore of the Hope Town Sailing Club. Patti loves to snorkel and garden. She belongs to a local artist group.

Patti and husband David were featured in the Summer 2017 issue of "Abaco Life Magazine ". The article titled "Retired in Abaco" included interviews with several couples and stressed that island life demands a mix of resourcefulness, ingenuity, and a love of the islands and their people.

Why they chose this property

What we love about the Abaco Islands is less about destinations and activities than about getting lost in a wide-open palette of towns, beaches and wildernesses. Locals are friendly and quick to share stories of their island lifestyle and history.

We built this home as a guest house after our family grew and many friends wanted to visit our little island paradise. Now we enjoy sharing this unique spot in the Bahamas with guests from far and near.

What makes this property unique

Gone Bananas was built by a professional with assistance of owner. Quality construction, well-maintained. Lovely views. Tastefully furnished, and well-equipped for visitors' vacation needs.
Our large wrap around porch with ceiling fans as well as breezes is knock out for relaxing and dining alfresco. Beds are soooo comfy! High ceilings, well-equipped with books, movies, games, for your enjoyment.
