Listing is accurate. It is equipped with almost everything we needed. As noted in other reviews - Don't come to watch television (it is tiny) and there is construction all around so we didn't use the back deck much. We loved being by the Abacco Inn and went there frequently. ##### mary s.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in great shape except toilet paper hook was on the floor no biggie. Home was beautiful the only thing we did not realize was that construction was all around us from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday. We love the Abacos and are excited it is all being rebuilt just did not realize it would be everyday. The only other thing I would suggest is a larger TV and better ways to access we could not use our International You Tube or Hulu there and at night with small children we needed some entertainment. The owners have done a great job with the home We will plan to come back again next year but maybe a little quieter location. It was great to see all the rebuilding that has been going on since we last visited before Hurricane Dorian. I believe her name was Jessica she was extremely helpful and as always the people were all very friendly. ##### Michele S.

Reviewer Comments: We had the best week at Shore Leave. The home was decorated fabulously, beds were extremely comfortable, bedrooms had plenty of space, open kitchen/dining/living room was great, kitchen accommodations were perfect. We shared the home with a 2nd family and everyone had plenty of space. Having a boat dock was very convenient and allowed us to easily come and go for island hoping. The location on the island was perfect, quiet but easy and quick to get everywhere to explore. When we return to the Abacos, we would definitely want to stay here again. ##### Jenna H.

Hope Town is a favorite island! ##### Kim B.
