General Information

Twenty cottages located directly on the beach in Fresh Creek, Andros Island, Bahamas. Small Hope has 2 beaches, 1 where the cottages are and 1 swimming beach to the north of the property. Since 1960 we have been hosting scuba divers, snorkelers, fishermen, and eco-minded tourists. Small Hope is a 15 minute boat ride from the 3rd largest barrier reef in the world. Andros is also known for world-class bonefishing. We are all inclusive and have our own dock and dive center on the property. Your beachfront accommodations, all meals (great food), beverages and bar drinks, kayaks, bikes, windsurfers, nature trails, Hobie Cat, hot tub on the beach, and all hotel taxes are included in your rate. Great for couples, families, or singles as we all socialize during mealtime, but there is plenty of space for privacy. We also have a games room so that kids can have their own space.
