Paradise!

We loved our 9 days here! Views were amazing, the pictures don’t do it justice. We made good use of the kayaks, the kitchen, and the pool. The sandbar was right down the street (an easy kayak away) and the golf cart made getting into town easy and fun. Beautiful area, loved the seclusion. Highly recommend!

It’s exactly what we were looking for. Seclusion but a great restaurant/bar next door. Property could use a little TLC but being right on the Caribbean more than makes up for that. Didn’t use the pool much but everyday in the Caribbean.

Great spot

Knowing the island, we knew we were a little “out of town” meaning an extra 5 minute cart ride. It was totally worth it. House was clean, pool was great, beautiful beach area steps from the house. House was well outfitted with anything you need. Would def stay again.

House with a view

Very nice property with great view. Owners were always available and helped out immediately when golf cart had issues. They arranged our transportation from airport to house which entails a cab to dock, ferry to island, and golf cart to house. Did the same for return. Highly recommend.

Perfect

This property works best if you are looking for a place to take it easy and just enjoy a small island. That said, there is plenty to do, and the people and the island they have built is really a special place for travelers. The grocery store is a real treat for an island. The property has what you need and Jaime took care of any arrangements we needed. So if low key, but convienent, is your game, then this place and island is for you.

Special place

Water's Edge -- and Spanish Wells in general -- is a special place. The house is near the end of Russell Island and is quiet and peaceful, with gorgeous water views literally right up to the house. The Sandbar is right next door, which makes for a convenient place to grab a meal and drinks. Jaime and Shenan make the stay extra special by doing all the transportation arranging and answering any questions promptly. We loved our time there in this beautiful little fishing village and would definitely return. (P.S. If you need to charter a boat for a snorkeling or sightseeing trip, use Seagillian, which Jaime can arrange for you! We had a wonderful half-day adventure swimming with turtles, feeding rays, and snorkeling.)

Incredible views and great hospitality!

The property was gorgeous! The views were incredible! The home is literally on top of the water. Loved the dipping pool and the amazing porch where we spent most of our time. The interior of the home was very clean and was well stocked with all the essentials for making a meal at home. The beds were very comfortable providing for an excellent night’s sleep. Jaime was a fantastic host and we always knew she was there if we needed her. She was always quick to respond and help. Highly recommend an outing with Captain Shane! A great recommendation by Jaime that did not disappoint. We cannot wait to go back! Thank you, Jaime, for helping to make our trip a magical and memorable vacation!

A little slice of paradise

What a wonderful vacation! If you are looking for a place to take a break from every day life this is it. Spanish Wells/Russell Island is a magical place and Jamie and Shannon’s house is the perfect place to relax. We saw turtles, rays, dolphins right from our deck. The cottage has everything you could need to live like you’re at home. The local grocery store has everything you need and the few restaurants were great. We enjoyed having The Sandbar right next door and breakfast at Eagles Landing was great. Jamie handled all of the travel details for arrival and departure and it was flawless. Shannon took us out on the boat for the day and we swam with turtles, snorkeled, and saw a pod of dolphins. I can’t recommend this property and their owners enough. We hope to bring family back.

Hidden gem on Russell island!

My husband and I stayed along with our son. Jaime and her family add the little touches you didn’t even know you need. Meet us at ferry with golf cart and loaded our luggage in their car. Made ride easy as not trying to hold luggage on cart. Seen someone’s luggage fall off another cart! House was nice and comfortable. Once again the little things....beautiful light fixture made from husbands ship wheel after 30 years working water...gorgeous coffee table with beautiful shells! Used kayak and stand up paddle boards almost every day. Would definitely stay again!

House is unclean, not maintained for the price.

Having stayed at 12 different VRBOs on Spanish Wells that were all clean and well maintained, this property was neither. The house wasn’t cleaned before we arrived: ceiling fans dirty, spiders and cobwebs behind doors, several light bulbs burned out, no sheets on my bed, no shower liners in showers, shower curtain moldy (owner said daughter would bring new liners on Tuesday, she never showed up) very low water pressure every day, ended up using the hose outside. The microwave was covered in rust, the owners replaced it with one that wasn’t as rusty but the open button kept popping off. Some towels were covered in holes, ended up washing all the bed lines, towels. The deck table had food on it, ended up washing it as well. Disappointing rental. The pool was nice, enjoyed it.

Quick Spring Break trip

We took our college son and a friend for Spring Break. We were looking for a chill, on the water spot and this cottage was perfect. Our first trip to the island and we cannot wait to go back! Jaime arranged pickup from airport to dock, water taxi to Spanish Wells, hopped on a golf cart to the cottage. Everything was so easy and stress free. The cottage isn’t a luxury villa, but the cutest place right on the water. We spent a lot of time on the deck just watching sea life and enjoying the beautiful weather. Everything is a short golf cart ride away. We even grilled one night instead of going out. We also rented a boat for two days and that was wonderful! I can’t say enough great things about this place. The people are so friendly, very safe community, (I don’t think we ever locked the doors) no need for dolling up or dressy clothes. All the restaurants were fantastic. Food isn’t cheap, so be prepared for that. The villa has beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, everything we needed. We didn’t take advantage of the water sport equipment, but they have anything you would need. Kitchen was well equipped and washer and dryer was a nice plus. Jaime was very responsive and her daughter too. We will be back soon!

The Best Vacation!

Amazing location and amazing hosts! This was our first trip to Spanish Wells and Jaime was quick to respond to ALL of my questions, and I sent her A LOT. She was also very responsive our entire week with anything that came up, including my husband getting a flat tire on the golf cart. We are still amazed at how quickly the "rescue team" was there and the tire was replaced. The cottage was perfect for our family of four (w/ two teenage girls). We all enjoyed relaxing on the deck and the plunge pool was nice to cool off in. The house was very clean and well appointed for the limited cooking we did. We loved our "island life" week and will be back! We also did a day charter with Seagillian Life and Captain Shenan. It was THE BEST day seeing all the sights - pigs, turtles, sand bar swings, starfish and snorkeling. Jaime reserved everything for us and it was a day that we will never forget. If this is your first trip to Spanish Wells, here is a tip - Island life is very casual. Leave all those dresses and things you might wear to dinner at an all-inclusive resort at home. I didn't wear 3/4s of what I packed including the multiple pairs of really great shoes. I barely wore makeup or spent a lot of time drying my hair. All you need are a couple good beach hats, a few bathing suits, some beach coverups, flip flops, a few hair ties and good sunscreen. Embarrassingly, I packed two suitcases for myself. In hindsight, I should have packed a few dry good snacks rather than clothes.

Beautiful views

Water's Edge is a great property on Russell Island. The water colors were amazing and we loved having access to the paddleboards and kayaks. The host picks you up from the water taxi and shuttles your luggage for you while you drive the included golf cart to the property. Bottled water is also provided which was nice because you could not drink the water from the tap, only cook with it.. Be sure to check grocery items at the house before you shop. We left some staples of condiments, coffee and sugar after our stay last week. We cooked in one night and ate out at the Shipwreck restaurant the other nights; delicious food on Spanish Wells. The food fair market had PLENTY of food to choose from and Buddha's was a great liquor store nearly across the street. Beautiful island and VRBO house.

Quaint and cozy beach cottage! Right on the water. Short golf cart ride to “town”. House is equipped with the basics. Hosts were extremely kind and always a message away! Spanish Wells/Russel Island is a very special and unique place. There isn’t a lot of hustle and bustle and people and kind to one to another.
