Peaceful waterside retreat
We were looking for a peaceful waterside retreat and loved our stay. Jaime and Shennon were great hosts making sure we had everything we needed, arranged taxi's and boats which made our stay easy and wonderful. We will be back!!
Great view .....property needs help
The view at Waters Edge is spectacular and the beds are comfortable. Other than those 2 positives this property needs help. The deck over the water is wonderful however there is no safety railing at all. A fall off this deck onto the jagged coral below would be serious. The kitchen is functional, but small. The living area does not have one piece of furniture pictured on the web site. It is VERY tired, shabby and uncomfortable. There is a piece of plywood with a window AC unit that covers one of the living room windows that is not pictured in the photos. Bedroom AC had black mold and doors and windows either don't open, have holes in the screens, or no screens, making it impossible to open house up to hear the beautiful waves or get the nice fresh air. Baths are fine. You have to take bottles to town and buy drinking water which was information not given to us upon check-in. Took several days to figure out where and how to get drinking water.
The people on Spanish Wells are friendly and helpful, water was breathtaking but to get to a snorkeling reef you must charter a boat and if it's windy you can't get there at all. Kayaks were nice, if weather cooperates.
Very surprised at all other positive reviews of cottage. Two stars for great view and good beds.....other than that cottage needs a lot of repairs.
waking up in a dream everyday!
I love this little cottage on the water! the island is stunning in every turn and the people are super friendly! a sure enjoyable stay for anyone!
Great stay at Water's Edge
Jaime was totally on it when it came to answering any questions prior to the rental. After arriving, same timely response. Had a glitch with the cableTV service, and Shennon came out on a Sunday, in particular Superbowl Sunday, to get it resolved. View is unbeatable. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Kitchen has everything you need. Relaxing cart ride to town was actually enjoyable with all the friendly people on the scenic ride. Absolutely loved it, and would highly recommend it!
Everything we hoped it would be!!
Dear Jaime and Shennon,
First of all, the place is absolutely everything we knew it would be. Absolutely perfect for us. It was perfect for my elderly parents as well, because it was just so beautiful, it didn’t matter that they didn’t have a lot of energy to do other activities. They loved just sitting and swimming right there. We loved cooking in, and having wine and Dark and Stormy’s on the deck. The sound of the water at night was just mesmerizing. We slept great every night, and back home now away from the sea, I’m really missing those sounds!
The beauty of the water was something so incredible...we just reveled in it every day. Our earth is such a lovely home! There is such beauty if you know where to look. And your little island was just the place. Not just for the beauty, but on every level. I’d love to pack right up and move there! Everybody was so friendly, anytime it seemed we were in trouble (like finding ourselves short on gas on a holiday, or running out of Mums favorite wine after the liquor store had closed), there was somebody there to bail us out. We can’t forget all the help you were to us with the golf carts. There was never a moment that we needed something that you weren’t right there for us.
And the food! We loved every bite of the conch dish you made for us...it was so unexpected, so sweet of you, and so absolutely delicious! But of course what really went way beyond the call of duty was how you stepped up to the plate for us when our flight was canceled. We just can’t get over your kindness, picking us up, letting us come back to the house, and then not even charging us, after it made work for you. True kindness is becoming more and more rare in this world, and we were so touched, all of us, and so appreciative. All in all, we can’t begin to express what a wonderful experience we had at Waters’ Edge, and we hope that we will be able to find a vacancy again not so very long from now. I have already passed the information and your website to friends who are interested.
We left a piece of our hearts there on your island, in your little cottage, so of course we must come back!
With Sincere Affection and Thanks,
Bruce and Nancy
