The Story Behind Abaco Island Rentals

The Story Behind Abaco Island Rentals

Abaco Island Rentals was founded in 1998 by Julie Farrington and Leslie Sawyer after being approached by second-home owners and recurring visitors alike. The main option at the time for staying on the three-mile-long island was choosing from the two hotels on the Cay – ideal for short stays but less so for longer, more island-living stays. As long-term locals and friends, they began managing a handful of properties to now have over 30. By booking your stay with us, Julie and Leslie will not only help you plan a trip to suit your exact booking needs, but also provide you with local information and bookings to ensure a relaxing experience (including pre-booking golf carts, rental boats, boat trips/excursions and groceries) even before you arrive!


What sets Abaco Island Rentals apart is our truly personable approach, so even if it's your first trip to the island or fiftieth, we'll make sure it's a special visit. Choose from a wide selection of properties – a classic island home within the historic town, a cosy beachfront cottage, or a luxurious oceanfront home with a swimming pool – all offering a unique experience and making each stay completely different from the other.


So, why choose Green Turtle Cay?


Green Turtle Cay is a small, idyllic island off of mainland Abaco in the Atlantic Ocean. Its white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, picture-perfect village and friendly locals are just some of the reasons people return year after year. What we love about living here is the strong sense of community, laid back lifestyle, ease of access to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, and the abundance of nature – from local sea turtles (of which the island is named after) to dolphins, we truly are spoilt for choice!


We're only a short flight away from Nassau or Florida and for decades the small island has been a favourite for those who love fishing, beachcombing, and romantic golf cart rides – enjoying the truly stunning sunsets. It's ideal for couples, families, friends and groups of all sizes.


Discover easily accessible deserted beaches and uninhabited cays a short while away, spend days out fishing or snorkelling, dine out at the best restaurants, and share a beer with locals… Whatever you decide to fill your time, what is guaranteed is that you will finish each day by returning to the comfort of your vacation home away from home. The only difficult part will be picking which house to rent and saying goodbye at the end of your stay!
