7 Reviews of Property 279197 in Spanish Wells, Bahamas

This is a perfect setting on Spanish Wells. Great home, amenities and location. This is the best place to stay on the Island. Can not wait to return!

Roy and Linda are one of best hosts ever, they welcomed us at water taxi dock, brought us home where lobster dinner that Linda made waited for us, fresh fruits on the table, basic things already in the fridge.
House is not big, but it is very comfortable. If you are typical American you might find that kitchen elements are probably older than you are, but house is impeccably clean and has everything you will need. It has extremely well central AC that we tried not to use all the time (Roy and Linda never mentioned it, but electric bill can be quite an expense on the island). We also got golf cart which made any island errand tremendously easier or we just had fun driving around. Beautiful Spanish Wells beach was just few minutes walking or we were there in no time with golf cart.
Again, if you are American be ready for a huge surprise on Spanish Wells beach. Good people on Bahamas decided that you can have a beach house, but you cannot own the beach! This means that along 2 miles long beautiful sandy beach of north and east side of the island you can walk, stop, bring your chair and towel and stay for as long as you want, no one can put “Private property” sign – beach is something that belongs to everybody.
Second best thing on this beautiful beach is that there is almost no one there, on a two mile stretch we would see maybe 50 people at a time, you can see them, but if you do not want to hear them you can be far enough to have your perfect peace.
Weather at the end of July, beginning of August was beautiful, warm and no huge winds, water perfect never to hesitate do dip in, even if you just got out couple of minutes ago. One or two cloudy days and showers, but regardless it was more than worm and fun for kids and all of us to enjoy swimming.
If you need a boat (and I whole heartedly recommend you rent one) Roy can arrange one from another great island host Johnny Underwood. Having a 17 foot boat for a week was best decision we have made, Spanish wells beach is nice, but if you stay 10 days, well I can see it becoming a bit boring to go to the same place every day.
Boat and 50 HP outboard motor was quite sufficient and fuel friendly (I would rarely spent 6 gallon tank in a day) and we went to all surrounding islands and beaches, Royal Island, Egg Island, Harbor Island, Eleuthera Current Cut, …
We want to thank again Roy and Linda, their son Scott. Wonderful hosts, we would return tomorrow for another memorable vacation.

La proprietà è in ottimo condizione e il proprietario una persona stupenda. Mare vicinissimo - spiaggia pulitissimo e poco populato. Per una vacanza mare e relax non c'e di meglio.

Roy and Linda are wonderful hosts. Roy will greet, and Linda will cook as much as you will let them- or they will leave you alone to be as self-sufficient as you want to be. Self-sufficiency is what Spanish Wells is all about- to an extreme. The island is 10 minutes, or a whole world, away from everything else. The tiny population are descended from Dutch settlers, industrious and sophisticated fishermen, completely honest, and religious even for the Caribbean. Spanish Wells is without crime, perfect for those who can make their own fun and for young children who are learning to swim in the most gentle of warm waters. There are no resorts, but the island is perfectly manicured. The island is surrounded by reef, and there is no surf or rip tides. The town of Spanish Wells is dry- the only liquor store is on the dock as you leave Eleuthera, and this helps keep it absolutely sedate and probably too dull for the avid party crowd. The Pinder house is a 6-year-old property with all brand-new amenities. While we found everything we would want included, we are convinced that if there's anything you need, Roy and Linda will find it, build it, compose it, and potentially sing it for you. Spanish Wells is a flat, dry island with beautiful beaches, clearly for those who make their own quiet fun, and is culturally unique. We found this island after spending years traveling to the slightly larger island of Culebra (off of Puerto Rico), which has become "discovered." We hoped to find idyllic isolation, and our expectations were exceeded.

This charming, clean, well-maintained, well-equipped cottage is located in a quaint little fishing village full of incredibly friendly people. The owner is extremely available and accommodating. The included golf cart saves the renter $50-$60 daily--a must to get around. Fishing, snorkling, beaching available. We really enjoyed the entire experience of our stay in Spanish Wells in this cottage--can't beat it for the price!!! We plan to return and would highly recommend it to family and friends.
