LookOut Ridge offers the quintessential opportunity to properly appreciate the Island Paradise. The Bahamian roots of this property have been honored and enhanced. Its expert combination of materials will charm you. Design elements, and finely appointed furnishings create a very special retreat that is the essence of quiet, simple luxury.

Man-O-War Cay, in the Abaco Island Chain, is by far the most beautiful and charming in the Bahamas. It is truly a tropical Paradise. Rich in history,it was settled in the1700s by Loyalists wishing to remain under British rule and today still retains something of a colonial flavor. Its boat building industry is still thriving today. The people there, whether local, expat, or visitor, are incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful and exude an unaffected charm.

The area offers first class fishing, diving, and snorkeling on the third largest coral reef in the world. MOW has a great coffee shop/museum, good grocery store, hardware store, and several small shops...and all only five minutes away by boat within the harbour.

LookOut Ridge perches on one of the highest points on the island. From there you enjoy wonderful breezes and incredibly gorgeous views of the Sea of Abaco in front and the Eastern Harbour behind. The Sea of Abaco side has its own swim platform with hand hewn steps to the water. On the Eastern Harbour side is a private dock. The property is accessed only by boat, ensuring privacy and quiet. Two kayaks are available at the cottage for exploration, beach fun, or visiting the Settlement. Motor boats are available for rent in Marsh Harbour or on MOW.

Very special property features:
The beautifully preserved and enhanced hip ceiling.
The well appointed and equipped kitchen.
New HVAC with dehumidifiers.
Two huge glass sliding pocket doors that give the feeling of outside living.
Custom doors and paneling.
Incredible views.
Lush tropical growth.
Back up diesel generator. (the power occasionally goes out in the Abaco's, when it does the gen. comes on proving power)
Privacy, Privacy, Privacy. This property is only accessible by boat, insuring an utterly quiet and peaceful retreat, while only a five minute boat ride to the two public docks in town.

Many visitors rent their boat in Marsh Harbor, where you will land if flying. Man O War is a 15 minute boat ride to your dock (Dock 39) on our property. After a short flight from South Florida to Marsh Harbour. (There is also a direct flight from Atlanta) and a 12 minute taxi ride on the Ferry, you will arrive at MOW within about 20 minutes. On the way, ask the Ferry Captain to drop you off at Dock 39 in Eastern Harbour. Follow the side walk up to your Bahamian cottage at the top of the Ridge.

    We've come to Man O War for many summer vacations, but after the hurricane it's been harder to find a place to stay. This house was both a great find and affordable. It's new so it's in great shape. We loved being by the sound. It's the perfect house for a family of four. We hope to return!

    This was our second stay and we’ll be back! The house and property have so many places to relax. Every evening we watched the sun set over the sea of abaco from rocking chairs on the huge deck or from the lower swim/fishing deck. We swam from the lower swim deck where we could just walk into the water and splash around while watching the boat action (or just the beautiful scenery in the sea of abaco). We also watched the sunrises and swam everyday from the dock on eastern harbor (where the swimming is the best anywhere!).The house itself is very comfortable with all the modern conveniences you need but it feels truly magical.

    This property fit our needs perfectly. The beautiful landscaping, friendly neighbors, and great location really make this a special place to stay. The access to the harbor as well as the sea of abaco is a feature that sets this property apart. We would not hesitate to return for another stay.
