Russell Island is home to this apartment. Dr. Albert Johnson Memorial and Glen Stewart Mansion are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Government Dock and Fisherman's Dock.
I just needed a place for a couple of nights as I was testing the waters to experience Spanish Wells for my first time. I was traveling alone and felt very safe in the area. Once I found the apartment, I had time to explore on the golf cart which was provided. Jaime answered all my questions promptly. After a long day's travel it provided me with a great place to get a good night's rest and then a new day of exploring.
We needed a place to stay for one night, and this place worked out fine. It was clean and well stocked. It was bit farther from the beach than we expected, although with a golf cart that is not an issue. So if you need an inexpensive place to stay on Spanish Wells, this fits the bill.
That said, I cannot really recommend coming to this island - especially if you want to experience the Bahamas, as there is really nothing Bahamian about this island. It is instead more more of a south Florida evangelical commune - complete with Trump flags. If that's your crowd, then you will fit right in. If not, don't waste your time and money on this island, and instead go somewhere more diverse and interesting.

Dear Josh,
I appreciate your praise for our accommodations, however please understand that your rating directly effects our property, livelihood and ability to attract future guests.
We would ask you to kindly adjust your star rating to be about the unit and rental experience.
We are sad to hear you did not enjoy the island and did not experience the diversity it has to offer. Our families date back to the 1600s as some of the first Bahamian settlers with deep histories to share.
We do not oppress our locals and welcome foreigners who may purchase property. Some chose to express their religious or political views and our community respects those rights for each to have their opinion. We’ve seen many Trump and Biden flags in 2020, and even more Steelers, Dolphins and Buccaneers flags during football season.
Property is exactly as described, not fancy but it has everything you need. Convenient location and very clean. Property manager goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. This was our 2nd stay and we would stay here again on future trips.
Cozy and homely. The property manager, Jamie Sweeting made it easy to communicate with her. Our family had a wonderful time. We plan to have an extended family trip and stay at another property managed by Jamie Sweeting.
We had a wonderful stay. We had stayed at another of Jaime’s properties last year and were very happy. This little unit has everything you need (and if it’s missing they will get it for you!) in a convenient location. Short golf cart ride to any of the beaches, restaurants or store. We will be back!
This is a 1 bedroom apartment on Russell island in Spanish wells. We enjoyed our stay here. We will return . The host is Jaime she was very accommodating. The apartment is equipped with most everything you need. We also rented a golf cart from Jaime. Which was nice & convenient. Jaime did everything she could to make our trip comfortable. Thanks
