A recent trip to the Bahamian island of Elbow Cay showcases a tropical paradise that most people only get to experience through the movies. I feel so fortunate that I’m able to travel to fantastic locations such as this for my work and look forward to many return trips - next time the beaches will require a more thorough inspection.
The house where we stayed was specifically placed to have a 360-degree vantage point of the island, so you can see the sunrise over the ocean in the morning and the sunset over the bay in the evening.
This residence was completed almost twenty years ago by Jaycox Architects & Associates and still has some of the best views over the island.
Bahamian shutters and covered decks are a must in this climate.
I enjoyed staying at The Abaco Inn on this visit, the views from this open pavilion were stunning.
An infinity edge pool elevated twenty feet up in the air makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. This deck sits at the peak of the largest hill on the island.
Rooftops of homes on the island peak up just over the tree canopy to get a glimpse of the stunning horizon.
