Tucked between Great Guana Cay and Elbow Cay in the Abacos, little Man-O-War Cay is a beautiful and historic gem of just over 200 inhabitants, more than half of whom can trace their ancestry to the Albury family, who first settled here in the 1820s. Man-O-War's residents are also revered in the region for their excellent boat-building skills, making this the go-to local island for quality yacht repairs.

Toward the cay's north end is a magical and very private estate called Coconut Palm Bay, 14 acres of stunning property stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Sea of Abaco with beaches on both shores. Cooled by lush island breezes, this one-of-a-kind estate is the finest in the Abacos, and arguably in the whole of the Bahamas. The property's graceful 3-bedroom, 5 1/2-bathroom main house features 6,500 square feet of interior space and French doors opening onto 3,200 square feet of covered verandas and porches, all offering commanding views over beautifully landscaped grounds and uninterrupted views of the ocean and the Sea of Abaco.

Meanwhile, the 4-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom guesthouse features 2,200 square feet of fully air-conditioned interior space, plus 360 square feet of covered porch and balcony area, all offering a comfortable retreat close to the private marina. Said marina has a mean low water (MLW) depth of eight feet and features 390 linear feet of nine-foot-wide docks. The Coconut Palm Bay estate also includes a boat house and a covered boat lift with a capacity of 13,000 pounds. The property's reverse osmosis water maker can produce 5,000 gallons a day, supplementing the approximately 200,000 gallons of rainwater harvesting capacity. Access to Man-O-War Cay is a breeze from nearby Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco, just a few minutes away by ferry.
