Spanish Wells Vacation Rental house

Our family has been to several vacation resorts, but nothing compares to the fabulous vacation we had in April 2009 staying at the Bahamas Beach House! Have you ever picked up a travel magazine and found a picture of a couple on a beach with no one else around and the kids building sandcastles, and then you go there and it's a zoo of party animals and hokey tours? Well, the photos you saw were probably taken just outside the Bahamas Beach House. When we stepped off the ferry and met Johnny, we knew we had come to the right place. Spanish Wells is perfect! It is safe, friendly and absolutely beautiful.The Beach House is clean, quaint and felt immediately like home. Although we are a small family, it could easily accommodate larger groups, and the location...what can I say when it's 34 steps to a white sandy beach with turquoise water that is as warm as a bathtub. I thought I would miss the 'all inclusive' convenience of a resort, but riding bicycles to the store to pick up fresh bread and food, and then cooking for ourselves turned out to be much more fun! Paddling the kayak around the bay was great - we were up close and personal with mantarays and various other sea creatures. It was such a treat seeing nature outside of an aquarium in their own habitat. Johnny was extremely helpful and friendly - he is a wealth of information on anything you need or want to know about the island (note to Johnny: I'm not totally converted to seafood yet but I will be back to let you try again!). The Beach House has air conditioning, but we didn't even turn it on - not due to lack of hot weather, there was plenty of that - but we opened the windows at night and let the breeze from the ocean lull us to sleep - what a treat!! We have never slept better in our lives. We also never used the indoor shower - the outside one is awesome!! The owner has supplied the Beach House with all kinds of movies and games for kids, so if you get tired of the outside (not likely) you can always relax inside. We really didn't want to leave this place - ever. I sent video & pictures over the high speed internet (faster than my service at home) and received so many comments on my facebook of people wanting to know where we were at. Would we go back to the Beach House? In a heartbeat. It really takes a family back to good old-fashioned fun, and the kids on vacation here really seem to embrace the lifestyle. Booking through the owner is safe, easy & convenient - Thanks Dave for everything!!!!!

Our trip was wonderful! We truly enjoyed Spanish Wells and its unique character. The people were friendly and helpful. The beach house was very comfortable, and we loved its proximity to the water. The hammock, bikes, and kayak were great extras. The weather was a little cool, but we had a wonderful time despite the cooler weather. And of course, Johnny was so nice and helpful. We would love to go back to Spanish Wells some day. Thanks for sharing your place.

Best,
Michele and Daniel
