Photos and Description of the Spanish Wells vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 7, in front of a wonderful pink sand beach

Pink Sands Beach Cottage is a very beautiful new beach cottage with a direct access to a breathtaking pink sandy beach. Most of the times you will be alone, and if it gets crowded, you may have two to six people around ... 2.5 miles of stunning beach. On this part of this beach, at low tide, the ocean is a magnificent turquoise lagoon.

The cottage is ideally situated. Everything is within walking distance: supermarket, bakery, restaurant, souvenir shop, bank, ATM machine, doctor, pharmacy,...

Our caretakers will kindly pick you up at the harbour and drive you to the cottage.

This old-fashioned looking cottage gives visitors to Spanish Wells a real taste of island living. Located on quiet Saint George's Cay, this heaven is the perfect place for relaxation, for honeymooners, a romantic getaway, a quiet family vacation or if you just want to get away from the world for a while.

Spanish Wells, a prosperous island: Spanish Wells is considered one of the most quaint, clean, and prosperous islands in the Bahamas. It offers a rich history and old world and out island charm, and, yet, is very civilized. Spanish Wells is the envy of Eleuthera, The Bahamas, and even the region. It is part of the well known Eleuthera island.

The population is predominantly white native Bahamians, many of which are descendants of the first British settlers from the 1600's or Loyalists from the 1700's. People speak English, with a British accent. Spanish Wells is not a 'touristy' island.

Spanish Wells is prosperous, clean, safe, and beautiful. Spanish Wells is a neat and clean little town with most homes sporting a fresh coat of pastel paint, a real island getaway. Spanish Wells is reminiscent of an idyllic Cape Cod fishing village with swaying coconut palm trees and bright bougainvillea as background.

Spanish Wells offers everything you need: Spanish Wells has beautiful pink and white sand beaches, and water so clear that you can see your shadow on the bottom. Stretching from Spanish Wells to the northeast tip of mainland Eleuthera is a beautiful barrier reef called the Devil's Backbone which is inhabited with an abundance of marine life. This area is fantastic for snorkelers, and fishermen usually find that grouper and snapper are plentiful in this area. One mile off shore, there's great sport fishing. There's world-class bone fishing on the flats surrounding the island. One can walk around the island, wade for sand dollars on the North beach, purchase the fresh catch of the day from local fishermen, and browse the centuries-old village.

Spanish Wells offers 3 supermarkets, a bakery, 6 restaurants or take away (which serve native Bahamian and American dishes at reasonable prices), a well stocked liquor store (at Jean's bay, on main land), a medical clinic, a museum, 4 variety stores; you can purchase fresh fish, lobster!

Ideal temperatures all year round: Winter temperatures are generally in the 70's during the day and drop to the 60's at night. Summer daytime temperatures are generally in the 80's and drop to the 70's at night.

Pink Sands Cottage/Spanish Wells: outstanding!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 9, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We had been to the Bahamas a dozen times before this trip to Spanish Wells. Little did we know that it would surpass our great experiences elsewhere over the years. Spanish Wells is a prosperous [spiny lobsters] fishing port of some 1700 great people whose ancestors arrived more than 400 years ago. A great harbor, industrious and friendly townspeople, an outstanding, yes, pink sand beach, and a very relaxed way of life. And there's no better location from which to experience it than Pink Sands Cottage, right at the midpoint of this 2 mile long island.

Spic and span clean, the cottage is fully equipped, has reliable phone service and internet service, and is just about 75 paces from a beautiful 2 1/2 mile long beach. Brightly lit, well appointed furniture, decks and porches, what more could you ask for?
Close to a supermarket and other amenities? Yes, nearby.Bikes, golf cart, and kayaks? Yes, waiting just outside the door on the immaculate lawn. Even nearby crowing roosters to help make sure we didn't waste the day in bed. And even the bone fish were cooperative. Spanish Wells and Pink Sands Cottage--a perfect match. We'll be back.

One of Our Best Vacations!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 18, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
One of the most relaxing and enjoyable family vacations we have ever had! What a charming, magical place! We had read some bad reviews so we did not know what to expect – I honestly do not know what island those people were visiting – I cannot think of one negative thing to say. The house was perfect. I work for a real estate firm that manages 300+ vacation homes and I wish all of our owners were as good as you and Damien . The location is also perfect – we went around the entire island checking out some of the other homes we had seen and quickly dismissed them as future options – none compared to your home. The beach was absolutely gorgeous and the quick walk from your home is actually closer than some of the oceanfront homes in our town. You were right about having it all to ourselves. If we saw more than 6 people in a day that was a crowd. The girls snorkeled around the entire island and decided that the area in front of your home and just to the south were the best areas on the island for snorkeling. We used the bikes, kayaks and the golf cart every day – great to have these available!

We live in a friendly place, but the locals we met during our visit to Spanish Wells were some of the most gracious, friendly people we have ever encountered. We were welcomed into their homes and I came home with fresh jams, jellies and hot sauces that folks we just stopped to talk to insisted that we take. We have visited many islands in the Caribbean and this is one of the few places we have been that I felt completely safe in letting my daughters out on her their own to explore. The grocery store was a surprise - it had everything we needed. We used the grill several nights and visited most of the restaurants on the island for either lunch or dinner. Toni & Darrell were wonderful – Darrell was getting ready to go out to repair the traps and invited us on his boat for a tour – it was a very interesting and educating experience for all of us – we had no idea how they fished for the lobsters (completely different from the U.S). We look forward to spending a day fishing with him when we come back.

The week went by quickly and we were all sad to leave! We definitely will be back and hopefully will be able to stay longer than a week. Thank you again for your lovely home and a truly memorable vacation – we can’t wait to come back!

Excellent cottage,incl. service

5 of 5
Submitted: January 17, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
We (2 couples ) spent 6 days in this cottage and this cottage contributed a lot to our perfect vacation.
When we entered at the first time in the cottage, we moved very homely, because we found everything exactly according to the description. The house was perfectly clean and equipped beyond our expectation.The owner of the house provided everything what people coming for a vacation might like to use and enjoy.
We had a few email exchanges before our trip and we got all the detailed responses immediately to our questions, including additional suggestions.
We do hope, we will revisit this beautiful island again -in the same cottage.We will recommend this property to our friends.
There is one service, what we will not recommend; this is the service i.e the lack of service of Southern Air.

Owner's Response: Thank you. You are welcome anytime!

A truly enjoyable week

Submitted: September 8, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Thank you for use of your lovely, practical, sunny house. We passed a truly enjoyable week in Spanish Wells, an attractive and vital working community that added a lot to the
holiday. The character of the fishing village makes this a more "genuine" place
than it would be if there were merely sand and sun.
We hope to return one day!”
