About this cottage rental

Sea Star Cottage in Spanish Wells, Bahamas is just a one minute golf cart ride away from a beautiful, white, powder-sand beach that stretches along the northern shore of Spanish Wells. Expansion and renovation of Sea Star Cottage was completed in 2016. This quaint cottage consists of 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a full size kitchen, living area, laundry room and an outdoor shower. There is a balcony off the master bedroom, a deck off the kitchen for outside dining and a lovely front porch for relaxing and entertaining. The cottage is fully air conditioned, but island weather is warm and breezy so you may want open the windows. Two bicycles are included with every rental. Truly a comfortable place to kick back and relax with all the modern conveniences. Ideally located, Sea Star Cottage is tucked away on a quiet side-street between 14th and 15th streets, yet centrally located and close to all the convenient amenities that Spanish Wells has to offer, including restaurants, bars, grocery stores, a bank, medical clinics and more.

The nearby beach is great for swimming, kayaking and exploring. There are bone-fishing flats in the shallow waters surrounding the island, and just offshore are beautiful coral reefs, perfect for snorkeling and fishing. Snorkeling and deep sea fishing trips are easily arranged. "It's better in the Bahamas!"

Our host supplied many more items than he mentions on his VBRO summary. He thought through so many situations and accounted for every probability. Super, super clean. In an absolutely quiet location. Wow. If we go back there again, this is where we'd like to stay.

Just weeks after my husband's tragic & unexpected death, I googled "Caribbean island, no cars". That's how I found Spanish Wells. I had never heard of it before. I found Sea Star cottage through another google search. This was in 2019. I contacted Colleen and she was so, incredibly kind. She helped me feel less overwhelmed about traveling alone from Canada with my barely turned three-year-old daughter. She actually met us at the boat dock and gave us a tour of the island in a golf cart before bringing us to the cottage - I will never forget that kindness. Nine months later, I returned on my own to write and reflect, read, and lie by the sea. I walked the island by night. It was beautiful. This past trip, was the first my daughter and I have made to the island since before covid. It has now been four years since my husband's death. Returning to this beautiful place - one that offered so much comfort, when I was so early in my grieving process - was a gift I can't begin to express the value of. This time a friend came to meet us for the second half of our week - very impromptu - and I feel so bad because we were told that the cottage wasn't left as clean as the previous times we'd visited. I would advise anyone coming to ensure that you do not track any beach sand inside and if you have kids - make sure they clean their hands before touching the furniture. I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to come back and cannot wait to return. We love Sea Star.

The house was in a residential neighborhood just a couple blocks off main street and a short walk to the beach. It was spacious inside with 3 outdoor decks to choose from.The full kitchen plus washer and dryer were great to have. Enjoyed our stay!

First, the beds were comfortable which is huge! That's often a problem with many rentals for me but wasn't the case here!!! Also, nice to have a TV in each bedroom in addition to the living area. Plenty of kitchen appliances though we only used the coffeemaker and pots and pans and dishes. The home was so well-equipped! I enjoyed this with my spouse and my two sisters and everyone was so pleased with this place!!! We didn't need separate entrances but for two couples who wanted to share a place and still maintain some privacy or ability to come and go separately that would be a big bonus. All of the locals were so friendly! We enjoyed the deck often. Our "go to" spot was to park behind the Methodist Church to access the beach after getting that tip soon after our arrival. It was also very nice to have a washer and dryer. We couldn't be more pleased with everything about this home. If anything, maybe some dishes could be added but that's small stuff in comparison to all of the benefits. Management was spectacular, home was comfortable and felt even larger than it appeared in photos, and was clean. I got lots of compliments from my sisters for arranging such a nice play to stay. Thanks for having us, Sea Star Cottage!!! We might be back again!
