Map & Owner's Profile
Summer Breeze Beach Villa, Spanish Wells Bahamas
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Spanish Wells
We serched for years to find the right spot. A island that will never be commercialized. Spanish Wells is a peaceful, safe, charming island town with very friendly local residents. The fishing is second to none, and the beaches are beautiful and unspoiled. There is no place like Spanish Wells in the Bahamas or all of the Carribean.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Spanish Wells is the lobster capital of the Bahamas, and there is never a shortage of fresh fish on the island. There is awesome bonefishing right on the beach in front of the house. A short boat ride from the house is the Devil's Backbone reef, for great snorkling. The house has an open floor plan that encourages social gatherings in the large living room/kitchen area or on the huge deck. The large bedrooms offer plenty of privacy, each with its own bathroom. You can star gaze at night on the deck, or roll out of bed in the morning to walk down the short sandy path to the beach with your morning cup of coffee and be the only person on the beach.

When we first booked our vacation we had very high expectations after reading all of the comments posted on this site. To our delight the vacation exceeded our expectations. Jay and Ansley were very helpful and the house was stocked with all the comforts of home. If the comment section allowed pictures you could see how beautiful the house and the Island truly is. The beach, ocean and the landscape were incredible. Our days were spent at the beach with our children and evening were spent barbequing seafood on the large deck in the evening. Make sure you get to know the people on the island as they are part of what made the trip so amazing. We met a few of the locals through “Buddha”. This lead to several parties and outings with the incredibly fun and friendly locals. One of my highlights, which will give you a sense of the Island, was meeting two lobster fisherman playing dominos at one of the local parties. I happened to mention my interest in their lobster Industry and the next day they gave us a private tour of the lobster factory and their large operational lobster boat. We then proceeded to spend the afternoon spearing lobster in the Atlantic. No matter how hard we tried, “Remy” and “Crane” the two locals who took us out would not accept compensation the tour. Not even for the gas. They very just happy to share the Spanish Wells experience. Other highlights include catching 36 fish in 4 hours with a local guide, Harbour Island tour and just relaxing at the Summer breeze.

Perfection in Paradise

What a fantastic way to get away from it all! Our stay at Summer Breeze was everything we had hoped for and more. While we had discussed taking excursions from our beach to Harbor Island, or renting a boat, the perfection of the house and the beach ended up being all we really wanted, as we spent most of our time there. The house had all the amenities we could possibly hope for. We made regular use of its grill, and the kitchen contained everything we needed for our week-long stay. Even in the heat of late July, the house was always cool and comfortable with its array of ceiling fans as well as air-conditioning. The back deck is truly humongous and great for evenings. There's even a hammock in the back yard! Free Wi-Fi kept us in contact with as much of the real world as we wanted, which wasn't much :) We made use of the tremendous collection of DVD's for some evening entertainment as well. The highlight, though, is the beach itself. Probably the most perfect beach I've ever seen. There was not a person within 500 yards of us, and the water was some of the clearest I've ever seen. You could see the shadow of the kayaks (which the house provides:) ) on the ocean floor. The water temperature was also perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and just laying back and relaxing. What was great is that the house has beach chairs, umbrellas, the aforementioned kayaks, beach towels and lots of other supplies for the beach, which takes a load off a vacationer's mind. The owners were great through every step of the process. They arranged for our transportation from the airport to Spanish Wells, checked in a couple of times during the week to make sure all was well, and were extremely friendly in all of our dealings with them. The caretaker, Johnny, was also available whenever we needed (which wasn't often given the perfection of the place.) It was sooo relaxing, and incredibly difficult to leave. We're really hoping we can come back some day soon.

We spent two weeks at Summer Breeze. Our stay was very comfortable. The house is very big. It accomodated all of us (4 adults & 4 children) easily. Everything we needed was available. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bedrooms are large and the king size beds are very comfortable. Having separate bathrooms with showers in each bedroom was very convenient. There are plenty of movies, books and toys for young children and a nice DVD selection for the grownups as well. Having flat screen TVs was a nice way to finish up our nights. The owners also provided us with kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards & an assortment of beach toys. Those made our sun drenched days at the beach, a blast! We appreciated the fact that Ansley checked in on us a few times to make sure we had all we needed. She was completely honest about everything. There were no surprises upon arrival. The caretaker Johnny, is a great guy and is always helpful. He's the go to guy if there's a problem (not that we had any) and he will answer any question you may have about the island. Spanish Wells is a beautiful community with breath taking beaches. The island is extremely safe. The people are very friendly, and nice. Don't expect to find any tourist attractions or high end restaurants there. There aren't any. What you will experience, is Spanish Well's island life. No stress, and lots of relaxation. We loved going to the beach, and finishing up our lazy days on Summer Breeze's huge deck. Grilling lobster while sipping on a cold drink and sharing laughs with our friends made our two week stay one of the best experiences we've had.

Beautiful, Relaxing, Fun Vacation Home

Summer Breeze is a beautiful home with so many fun things to do. Clean and comfortable and very close to those pink sandy beaches. We would ride bikes to see the awesome sun rises and then ride a golf cart to see the serene sun sets. Walk to the beach every day and kayak or swim in beautiful clear water. The locals are so nice and friendly. I felt so safe on this island. Just a great place to relax away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday day life and the corporate world. Spanish Wells is the best kept secret and Summer Breeze is the BEST place to stay on the whole island.

Second time around! We enjoyed the vacation even better this year than last year here at "Summer breeze villa". It was practical to find that you already know the ropes on the Island. It brings you right back to where you left off the year before. The same people working at the same place, where they remember you from the last time. It's great! It is the best place to relax and walk the perfect beach with the perfect pinkish sand. See you next year guys!

This trip was great,We were looking for a place to just get away and we definitly found it here Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short but the few days we had at the summer breeze were excellent. The house was very nice and large it was fully stocked with everything we needed, they also have great dvd collection. We bike road every morning (with the supplied bikes) around the island. Then went to the totally secluded beach ( we must have seen a total of 6 ppl on the beach our entire time there) to just hang out or go kayaking with the supplied kayaks. Ansley was great and really accommodating. Totally recommend 5/5!!!

This was a fun week, very relaxing, beautiful house, perfect beach (and that alone is reason enough to come back!). The house was stocked with everything and very comfortable, exactly what we were looking for. The ocean is steps away, easy to get to...which is important since we took the (supplied) kayak out to the water every day. Ansley and Jay were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect week, even arranging transportation from the airport to the front door. Johnny (the caretaker of the house) was around when we needed him and would stop by to say hello, just a class guy! The island of Spanish Wells is easy to get around on (though you should plan on a golf cart), friendly people, and definitely on island time. We ended up eating at home more than we thought we might as the island only has three restaurants (all with the same menu!), but when we did go out the food was really good! Ansley and Jay, thanks for a fun week!

My BEST vacation ever! The pictures on the website just don't do justice to this beautiful and tranquil island and Summer Breeze Beach Villa is in an ideal spot to enjoy all the beauty. The house had everything you might need, from the fully stocked kitchen to the luxury linens on the beds, the grill on the deck, beach chairs and towels, movies and books, and the gorgeous view from the deck. From start to finish the trip was more than I ever expected. The owners generously arranged for us to be met at the airport by David, the most polite and friendly taxi driver I've ever met. After a quick (and beautiful) ferry ride from Eleuthra to Spanish Wells we were met by the owners' caretaker, Johnny. Johnny was available and helpful our entire visit, just a few streets or a phone call away. He helped us find Captain Ryan, who took us exploring on a nearby unihabited island and snorkeling. The water is so clear you can see the bottom and the reefs were spectacular. We planned to take the fast ferry to Nassau for a day, but couldn't bring ourselves to leave Spanish Wells! The beach was just a quick walk away and beautiful beyond description. I've already reserved a week in June and just hope I can wait six months to go back! In the meantime, I just close my eyes and I'm back on the beach with the white sand, sound of the ocean, feeling the sun on my face and watching the beautiful turquoise water change colors as the clouds drift overhead in the blue sky.

My husband and I just spent the most wonderful 5 days at Summer Breeze with our daughter in law and our 2 grandchildren ages 4 & 8. We have visited Spanish Wells at least 5 times in the past year.By far Summber Breeze was the most comfortable and thought out house that we have stayed in. The house is very spacious and the bedrooms very comfortable. The linens are first class and plenty of them. Convenient laundry facilities. The beach is one of the most beautiful in the Bahamas. I think in the time we were there we saw about 3 people at any given time. What more can I say, just pack your bags and go.

The Perfectly Equipped Island Getaway

Summer Breeze is equipped with every ammenity you could possibly need to take full advantage of the beautiful island of Spanish Wells. The kayaks will put you in the midst of the beautiful turquoise water where you might, as we did, spot dolphins and stingrays. If relaxing on the beach is more your style, the short path to the beach, proximity to the house, and use of beach chairs makes it unbelievably easy to spend time on the practically private beach. Several days we were still lingering in the water after 6pm! We started each day with a bike ride, and also used the bikes to run to the grocery store and local shops. Once we had our groceries, it was actually fun to prepare meals in the open kitchen, and to dine at either of the large tables, inside or out. Before and after meals, it was fun for the kids to play on the huge deck where we could see them, and for us to sprawl out in one of the lounge chairs and recount the day's events. We were three families, and the three bedrooms and baths gave each of us some privacy, while allowing us plenty of time to be together, whether eating, watching one of the movies provided, or playing one of the many board games they keep. And what is better on a beach vacation than having a washer and dryer right in the house? What we didn't put in the dryer, we hung on the line which extends the whole length of the porch. Spanish Wells is charming, and a vacation there is relaxing and memorable if you are lucky enough to choose the right rental property. We are so happy to have experienced Summer Breeze, and we hope to return!
