A spacious family home with enough space for your whole group! Fully equipped to handle large groups with a bunk room, family room, two master bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, play area, and great room with a dining room table to fit everyone.

Enjoy the views that come with a waterfront property with water access. Just a short walk from the best bar on the island and a short golf cart ride away from a the public beach on Spanish Wells and more!

Our home is kid friendly, adult friendly and dog friendly. There is a great room with a living room area, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen has been stocked with all the equipment and tools you will need to cook a gourmet dinner and mix cocktails of your choice. We also supply basic spices, coffee, tea bags, flour, sugar, rice, olive oil, vegetable oil and a Berkey water filter to make 2.5 gallons of healthy drinking water at a time. Please note there is NO DISHWASHER in this property as they tend to break down quickly due to the salt air and minerals in the water.

All our bathrooms are stocked with towels, shower wash, shampoos, conditioner, hand soap, shaving cream, and emergency supplies of toothpaste and toothbrushes. We also have a baby bath, baby shampoo and bath wash, thermometer, first aid kits, after sun lotion, body lotion, and more. There is a bathroom next to the family bedroom with a tub, which is shared by all. The downstairs master bath has a huge two-person shower. Upstairs, the master and wardroom share a shower room, but each has its own sink/toilet room.

Our outdoor space includes a nice big deck, lounge chairs, an outdoor dining table, grill, cooler and outdoor shower. Off the deck, you will find a laundry room for your use. We also have a sand terrace, beach chairs, snorkelling equipment, some basic water shoes in various sizes, floats and 4 Inflatable paddle boards and 2 Crystal Clear Kayaks for rent.

***A $285 cleaning fee will be collected in CASH upon arrival. You will not be allowed on the property until our property manager has received the fee.

Please, contact the owner if you would like to bring a pet. Additional charges may apply.

The easiest way to travel around the island is via golf cart. We can help you make reservations with a local vendor. When renting through us we make sure your cart is waiting and the dock ready for you when you arrive.

They thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient. The snorkeling just off the backyard was amazing! The outdoor shower was fabulous and, even though we brought our own, having a wide assortment of water shoes available was so great. Beautiful, well thought out beach home.

Amazing!

The house is amazing! Fully stocked, everything taken care of. We didn't have to go to the grocery store till the next day which was a blessing after traveling all day. If the tide is high one can snorkel right off the steps leading into the ocean. Location is great, only two minute walk from the Sandbar Restaurant and Bar. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained! Highly recommend!??!

Great second stay!

We returned a second time to stay at this magical place!! Enough room for 10 guests to sleep. The house is very well stocked with anything you need. It is peaceful but well located to water view and a restaurant. We had tried to use stand up paddle boards and kayaks - but neither worked (likely need repairs), but otherwise, we were so grateful for towels, life jackets, water shoes, basic foods, extra sunscreens, and so much more. If you want a unique and GORGEOUS view (you may even spot a sea turtle while snorkeling in the ocean right off the property like we did), you will love it.

Amazing!

We had a fabulous stay at Boo’s place. The home is lovely, even better than it appears online, and truly has everything you could need. Check in was seamless. Tracy and Holly (house manager) were very attentive and helpful. We really enjoyed the kayaks and SUPs and we felt that the best deep water swimming on the island is right off the backyard. We saw starfish, rays and turtles while kayaking meters from the property. Also highly recommend Aquabliss for a boat trip. Thanks Tracy and Holly for a great vacation!

Great house for two families!

We had two families in this house with a total of 6 kids ranging in ages from 12- 6mo. It was in a great location with privacy but close to the sandbar restaurant and an easy golf cart ride to town. The house was so well stocked and made it easy to cook. I’d definitely recommend it!

Heck yeah!

Although my family group changed from 8 adults and a child to three adults, everything else was perfect and quite frankly would have been for the larger group. In years of staying in VRBO, I have never been in a better equipped place. Everything needed was there both inside and outside. And yes there was room for three families. The setting was wonderful and the view spectacular. I spent many days reading in the shade on the deck looking out at the sea and cruise ships on the horizon. The Sandbar restaurant was across the street if you wanted to be served while eating or drinking on its beach. A short ride in a golf cart took you to other restaurants, shops and a well equipped, large grocery store. Couldn't get better!

Great first experience to Russell Island

The house was very well appointed and well thought out design on a beautiful oceanside with excellent snorkeling right out front. The check-in process could not have been better. We were met at the airport, brought to the ferry, picked up right away by the property manager with golf cart waiting and brought to the home with no delay. Checkout was just as smooth. The islands of Russell and Spanish wells were stunning and we cannot wait to come back!

Spanish Wells Christmas!

This house is exactly as advertised. It was clean, spacious (9 adults/older teens) and VERY well equipped. It was even decked out for Christmas! The location is great (especially proximity to the Sandbar!) and the house manager (Mitchell) was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. This was our first trip to Spanish Wells, and we found the residents to be kind and helpful, and the beaches to be stunning!
