Man O War Cay, Abacos
Nestled in the dunes along a pristine white sand beach, SEA BISCUIT is a beachfront cottage that was crafted over 50 years ago by a local boatbuilding family. A true relic of the island's craftsmen, the wooden cottage provides a place to enjoy where sea, sky, sand, and coral reefs come together. Whether you want to explore or relax, Sea Biscuit is an oasis for your beach vacation. From sandcastle building to beach combing, and from kayaking to snorkeling among the coral reefs, there are endless options for those who love the sea. Relax with a book in a beachside hammock, enjoy your coffee on the deck at sunrise, or take a nighttime stroll in the sand and under the stars. Leave the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the surf on the shore. If the sea is your refuge, you will be restored at SEA BISCUIT.
SEA BISCUIT BEACH HOUSE sleeps 6. There are 2 traditional bedrooms, both with king size beds, and there is an open loft bedroom with 3 twin beds. (The loft is only accessed by a ship's ladder, so it is not suitable for young children.) There is a simple, efficient kitchen which is connected to the dining area and family room. A second beach side dining option is located on the elevated back deck and offers dazzling views of the sky, sea and shore. The family room has a smart TV which you can use to stream your favorite show (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) or watch one of your favorites from the house DVD collection. There are games in the cupboards for family game night, and a grill out back for cooking your catch of the day. 2 Sea Kayaks are available at the house for guests to use. Air conditioning, high speed internet, and large capacity washer and dryer are available for guests. Beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas and some snorkel gear are also included. A private mooring buoy in Eastern Harbour can be used by guests, as well as the Community Docks (first come first serve), and if needed, additional dock space may be available to rent (from others).
Currently, there is a 10% discount for monthly stays.
Extended family groups may want to consider renting "Beach Happy" which is located on the adjacent property (to the west). "Beach Happy" sleeps 12 and is a beautiful home with wrap around porches, 4 bedrooms and a gourmet kitchen. Sea Biscuit and Beach Happy are located on Man O War Cay, Abaco Bahamas. Man O War was settled by British Loyalists who left the American colonies after the U.S. Revolutionary War. Early residents farmed and fished; some were wreckers who salvaged vessels that were shipwrecked on the reefs. In the 1800's the island became well known for its boatbuilding and Albury Brother's boats are still built on the island today. During your stay, you can visit the Albury's Sail Shop, Joe's Studio, and the Man O War Heritage Museum and Coffee Shop. Visitors can rent a golf cart to explore the island, or a boat to visit other islands and beaches. The Low Place is perfect for snorkeling and swimming, Fowl Cays National Park has amazing reefs for diving and snorkeling, and Tahiti Beach is highly recommended for if you want to experience an amazing cast-away tropical sand bar paradise. Also recommended: climb the Hope Town lighthouse (built in 1862) and visit the Wyannie Malone Historical Museum. Visit Firefly Sunset Resort and Abaco Inn on Elbow Key for great food, beautiful views, and a fun, island ambiance.
Information and maps for favorite things to do in and around Man O War are available for guests. Please let us know if you would like more information about travel logistics, boat rental recommendations, and Sea Biscuit amenities.
If you are interested in renting a boat, we highly recommend you do so as soon as possible upon making your reservation since boat rental demand often surpasses supply. Coach Pearl Boat Rental is located on Man O War and they will typically include use of a dock space with their rental. Please let us know if you would like a list of other boat rental businesses in the area. Rental of a golf cart is also recommended for on island convenience and adventures. (We recommend Sojer Cart Rental.)

This home is special....wonderfully furbished for a beach house and, when they say, on the beach this is true!!!! The elevated/octagonal deck is perfect for morning coffee and watching the sunrise and in the evening watching the moon rise over the water! At night we were lulled to sleep by the rhythm of the surf. There is all the equipment one could want for seaside activities...kayaks, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and on and on. The kitchen is well equipped and has staples on hand. There is a game cupboard and a nice choice of books on the shelves. The laminated info. on the home, what to do on the island, places to eat, maps of Man-o'-War and surrounding areas is comprehensive. We heartily give this home Sea Biscuit a 5 star review. The caretakers were terrific too!!! Susan & co.
We spent 2 weeks at this house on man-o-war. The property manager and owners were great! The location was perfect, our kids and wife loved swimming out front. I had to work while there and the Internet was fast. The house was stocked with everything we needed including snorkel gear and life jackets. We really enjoyed our stay and the people of MoW. Loved watching the storms blow in from under the covered deck and the hammock was great to hang out in the shade on the hot days. Great vacation! We hope to rent again in the future. Thank you Char and Sandy!!
We had a great week in this home on MOW. Thanks to Cher and the other islanders we had everything we needed. The home is comfortable and has all the necessary items to prepare meals for your family. The beach is beautiful and relaxing. Thanks for a great week!
We loved our time at the Sea Biscuit and Sandy, Char, and Glen were great to work with from booking all the way to our stay. Dave was also fantastic to rent boat from and we will be back again to Man O War and this house in the future. It’s truly a beautiful and great hole and island!
Our family had a wonderful time at Sea Biscuit! The views were amazing! Loved being right on the beach, and able to enjoy the view and breezes both rain or shine thanks to having both a covered porch and open air deck! The snorkeling, kayaking, and shell collecting right from the house kept the teens busy! The house was comfortable and well appointed, from kitchen appliances/supplies to comfortable beds and wifi, we had all we needed to enjoy our stay! Both the owner, Sandy, and the caretakers, Glen and Char, were easy to communicate with and were able to assist us with any questions we had. There were a few power outages during storms, but the back up generator came in handy! We loved exploring MOW island and surrounding islands with the rental golf cart and boat. Sandy’s email prior to our stay contained many helpful recommendations, and we also enjoying reading through the book at the house with their list of “favorite” places to explore. Thanks for a great stay! We hope to return again!
Special, so close to the ocean, slept with windows open every night MOW is a relaxed laid back community We’ve stayed all over the Abaco over 20+ yrs and this location was the best because of the beach being right outside the back deck. Dave Albury boat rentals, can’t recommend him enough, Quality man with quality product, nicest rental boat I’ve ever had…
We had a wonderful time at this property! Great location, right on the beach. Plenty of beach chairs & games/toys (boogie board, kayak, cornhole, volleyball, etc), new washer & dryer and very comfortable beds. We were able to get into the property early & stay late on our departure day, which was incredibly helpful. The caretakers even came & checked on us during a power outage and brought us a flashlight!
This was our second visit to “Sea Biscuit” and it was as delightful as our first! You won’t find a rental house on beautiful Man-O-War any closer to the beach. The house is very well appointed. Come have a great vacation!
Sandy is super easy to work with highly recommended
We so enjoyed our stay! The house is nicely furnished, stocked with everything you could want, and the location is sublime. The beach is your front yard! Man O War is a great island, you can walk to the settlement, or rent a golf cart and explore the island. We would happily rent here again!
Host was very helpful getting us to the property. Staying on this island can be intimidating. (Customs, Inter-Island Flights, Ferry schedule, etc). We missed our ferry, had to hire a charter to the island, but the host was there waiting for us, with a golf cart to transport us and our luggage. I highly recommend large families rent a golf cart, but if you're looking for a peaceful, oceanside oasis, this is it! 5 minutes from boat rental dock too. We made several island hops! When I go back, traveling withcarry-on only. Less is more! On-site laundry makes packing so much easier. Host had fishing rods, reels, and adult snorkel gear too. On-island grocery is perfect for food. Great people... at EVERY stop we made. Very welcoming.
