We recently stayed at a wonderful property in Spanish Wells, booked through VRBO, and our experience was outstanding. The property was spotlessly clean and its location was extremely convenient. Just a 2-minute walk away, we found ourselves on a beautiful soft pink sand beach with shallow waters stretching as far as the eye could see, resembling a huge swimming pool. Additionally, a liquor store was just a stone’s throw away and a small market within a 3-5 minute walk. The use of the half-cart ‘buggy’ was a plus for getting around and shopping at the Food Fair supermarket, which, notably, closes most days at 5 p.m. There was also a pharmacy, very handy in case you forget your medications (I recommend seeing George Russell).
Sharon, our host, was wonderful and very helpful in arranging taxis and the ferry to the island. Among the must-do activities, I recommend renting a boat at Harbourside Rentals or taking a guided tour with Sharon’s nephew, among many other available options. Also, a visit to Papa Scoops for excellent ice cream (open from 7 to 10 p.m.) is a must, as is going to Buddhas for good food, drinks, and background country music. For a delightful meal, Wreckers. The Sand Bar, and Shipyard are excellent choices. The beach is perfect for relaxing or snorkeling. It was a fantastic place for our family of 4. We love Spanish Wells and its people. We’re eager to have the opportunity to return.
