SUMMER BREEZE BEACH VILLA

First, I have to say that I have spent hours on internet looking for the perfect place for our vacation. We were two family of 4 with kids from 12 to 15 years old. I wanted a place big enough for all of us and that would provide privacy to each family. We wanted to have a nice beach, so the kids could enjoy without any risk. We also wanted a quiet place, not full of tourists where we could relax. Summer Breeze met every criteria we had and more. The 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms gave us plenty of space. The beach was breath taking. We had seen many beaches before from different travels but this one was spectacular. And Spanish Wells being a small island, there were days when we were alone on the beach...

The house was super clean (and I am very picky about this!), well maintained and fully stocked. The caretaker Johnny was available for all our questions and needs. We rented his boat and went snorkeling. We saw dolphins, turtles and much more. It was truly paradise... If you want to disconnect from your day to day routine, this is THE place. My kids now want to move to Spanish Wells... and so do I :)

The communications and transaction with the owners went very well... Pickup was arranged for us for arrival and return without ever waiting for anyone.

Thank you Ansley for giving us the opportunity to rent your house and for making sure everything was OK for us. Thank you Johnny for your availability and thank you David for picking us up at the airport right on time!

Line, Karl and the family

WOW! I read house reviews and googled island before booking-thought I knew what to expect. Upon arrival I realized I'd discovered a hidden jewel of a vacation spot and rental home! I was greeted by genuinely nice people (Johnny-home caretaker); FANTASTIC scenery (The Ferry ride from Eleuthra that I was dreading was the FIRST highlight of trip! The water was composed of colors beyond description and the 5 min. ride wasn't long enough); Seabreeze Villa was beautiful and well maintained on outside, and inside it was clean, freshly painted-LOVED the colors, spacious and well furnished while maintaining a 'homey' relaxed feel. Traveling w/ my 4 yr old niece, I was worried she'd break something, but the house was so welcoming my 'stress' was left at the door! The huge deck was perfect for my niece to play on in the evening while I watched from the hammock in yard, the beach a 3 minute walk away-close enough for easy return for lunch and naps. We all enjoyed the kayaks, from my 70 yr old Mom to my 4 yr old niece. Don't miss the kayak trip to the 'Big Rock' that is just to left of beach! All kinds of sea life...rays, tropical fish, it was like snorkeling from a kayak. The sand was white or pink, shells abounded (don't go for a walk without a pail!) and virtually private...we saw maybe 20 people a day. Whether you rent a boat from Johnny or charter a fishing trip with Capt. Ryan DON'T miss going out on the water for a day (or 2 or 3!). The look on my niece's face when the 3 dolphins appeared by the boat was priceless! Take time to visit Egg Island, a deserted island perfect for shelling, lunch and an afternoon swim. Also, before arrival, I was a bit worried the 'young adult' members of my group wouldn't have enough to do, as the island is small, dry (no alcohol/ bars--stock up at Ferry Dock before leaving Eleuthra or call 'Buddha <all phone #'s you may need in guest book>)...as it turned out we ran out of time before we ran out of activities! Bikes, beach chairs and toys, coolers, floats, kayaks, fishing equip...all and more we found (as owners promised) in the basement. The wireless internet kept me in touch with work (or not, my choice), There were TV's in every room-I didn't turn one on the entire trip!-my niece enjoyed the large selection of kid's DVD's. The 1st nite I got in bed and found high thread count sheets I knew I was in Vacation Heaven! My only complaint is that I had to leave, Thanks Ansley and Jay for sharing your home, I'll be back.

I have been to Summer Breeze 3 times and each time has been fabulous! The home continues to provide luxurious and easy beach living. I live in South Florida so my beach standards are very high and Summer Breeze will remain my place to go to get away! It rained 5 out of the 9 days when I was there in May, so I spent a lot of time lying on a lounge on the large deck reading my books (or books from the home library when I finished mine) or just watching the storms roll in on the ocean. Long naps on the couch during the day were easy because the home is so comfortable. The decor is soothing, calming and comfortable. Great TV for those starless cloudy nights. Didn't miss any of my favorite shows! The kitchen had anything I needed, especially to prepare local lobster for the new state of the art grill, which was used a lot! When I did get to go to the beach, the bathrooms in the home provided long hot showers, though I did think about a long hot bath! Ryan took us out shelling and fishing again and he continues show me new and beautiful sights. I felt so safe with him when the seas got really rough, though that was the best day of fishing! As always, Johnny was pleasantly available for anything asked of him. He really gives of himself, like family!
Thanks Ansley for keeping such a beautiful beach home for me to run away to! I will be back. Dubbie
