WHAT OUR GUESTS THINK

"FALL BREAK"

“Our large group enjoyed our time in Elbow Cay at Southern Cross. The caretaker and property owner/assistant were beyond helpful in ensuring our stay was enjoyable. The property was in a great location for all of our needs.  Thankfully, the property has ample bedrooms and showers, so we were just fine. Southern Cross is a great property for families or groups of friends!

“We enjoyed the great location of the home, beautiful ocean and bay views, and excellent ocean breezes. Our stay was very enjoyable, and the home is spacious and accommodated our three families. The

Southern Cross team was

very accommodating

throughout our stay, and we

will definitely stay again…..hopefully very soon!”

“GREAT HOUSE!”

“The house was perfect for all of us. We had a big group, all ages. The communication with the property manager was almost instant. Thank you guys!
