When my husband and I were trying to decide which island in the Bahamas to visit for our vacation this year, we decided that we wanted to rent a home. We had excellent experiences with Home Away in the past, so that is where we began looking. The moment we saw this property listing, we both fell in love! We decided Spanish Wells is where we would be going, because this property is where we wanted to stay. We were also looking for more of a remote island, opposed to the busy, crowded, tourist attractions and Spanish Wells definitely fit the bill.
From very first contact with Christy & Shane, they answered every question that I had, and I had many! Christy responded very promptly via emails. As mentioned in other reviews, Christy & Shane were beyond accommodating. They arranged for our transportation from the airport to the ferry, where they were waiting on the other side with a golf cart. They even took us to the grocery store on the way to the house because it was closing soon and wouldn't be open the next day.
The house was simply amazing and impeccably clean. All the basic necessities are included, along with lots of extras. They include lots of beach extras like snorkel gear, kayaks, paddle boards, beach inflatables, etc. The porch overlooking the ocean was where we spent most of our time and thank goodness for the WiFi connection! We were able to keep in contact with our family and share our daily experiences with them. I must add that the golf cart is such a huge bonus with this house!! You will save several hundred dollars, not having to rent one and it is an absolute necessity for transportation. I have stayed in houses in the U.S. that were priced much higher/night and didn't include anywhere near the amount of extras as this house and they weren't nearly as nice.
Christy & Shane both grew up in Spanish Wells. They know pretty much everything there is to know about the island, its history and Eleuthera as well. They know all the cool places to visit and the best places to eat. They are available 24/7, if you need them to be, but are certainly not a bother in any way. In fact, we ended up spending quite a bit of time with them and now we have lifelong friends. We remain in contact and plan on doing so in the future.
Believe me when I say, if you chose to stay here, there will not be any disappointments!!!
Thank you Christ & Shane for making our stay incredibly amazing!!
We hope to see you guys again, sooner the better!
