An amazing stay at Pa Willie’s. As someone who once lived in Hope Town it was amazing to stay at a local property. Perfect location in town. Check in process was super simple and Lory was really helpful. The kitchen is fully equipped (though we went out for dinner every night). If you’re looking for a rental with local charm in the center of town just steps away from the beach, then you will love staying here. We highly recommend that you do and can’t wait to come back next year.

Awesome week at Pa Willie's We stayed here for a week in July. The house is in a perfect location. It has everything you could need from dishes and cooking utensils to towels and linens. There are multiple Mitsubishi mini splits throughout the house, and it stays very cool during the summer. There is a gas grill in the backyard. There is laundry service in town. You can easily walk through the more historic part of town from the house. Cap'n Jack's was awesome for breakfast and dinner (highly recommend the French toast and smoothie). Vernon's and I Got the Munchies are also in town. I would recommend renting a golf cart to explore the more southern part of the cay with On Da Beach Bar, Firefly, and Abaco Inn. We also drove to pick up pizza one night at Island Sweet Delights (which also has ice cream). You can also use the golf cart to go to Tahiti Beach. The dock at Pa Willie's is very solid and was so convenient to dock our 27 ft boat. The proximity of the dock to the house makes it easy to transport stuff to and from the boat to get ready for each day. The Pa Willie's dock is close to the post office dock, which is one of the Hope Town Inn ferry stops. It is very easy to either drive the boat over to Hope Town Inn to hang out, or you can also take the ferry. The pool at Hope Town Inn is great, and the lobster grilled cheese is amazing. Lory is also very attentive and extremely easy to work with. Pa Willie's was perfect for us, and we would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Roomy Cottage Pa Willie’s is a quaint cottage in the village of HopeTown. It’s close to the beach, restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our stay and would rent it again. Lory was helpful answering our questions.

One week in Hopetown Property was very cute and comfortable. Really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Check out time was a bit too early at 9:30. For the price, a few basic upgrades would be nice. Like a better shower and kitchen.

Hope Town and Pa Willie’s was even better than we had hoped. The cottage is well equipped for a family of 4. Perfect location for beach and snorkel. Our boat and cart rentals were right across the street each day so close to the cottage.

70th Birthday Weekend Celebration Pa Willie's is just as it is described. It is not fancy by any means, but well equipped, clean and the very best location. A boat dock just steps away. Lory was wonderful to communicate with - we did have a power outage and her response was almost immediate and we were good to go in no time. Would stay there again and hope to!!!

Perfect Easy Getaway Pa Willie’s is perfectly situated in Hopetown. We enjoyed long walks every day and visiting our favorite spots by golf cart and boat, which was especially easy with the property’s dock and cart parking. We had everything we needed for our stay and everything was in working order. The bed was very comfortable and the house was very clean.

Simple Pleasures We stayed at this classic settlement home with a party of 4 adults. It was comfortable and convenient. We could sit on the porch to read or we could explore Hope Town and the north end on foot. A beautiful beach was steps away. The house provided a relaxing week after a prior chaotic week stay with family.

Charming and Comfy Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. We love Hopetown and have visited often, but this was the first time we've stayed right in town. It was really fun and the convenience was perfect for our group of four senior citizens.
