The cottage is equipped with a balcony to enjoy the cool summer breezes and a glimpse of the ocean. There is a large private back yard for relaxing after a full day at the beach. The theme of the home is 'All things Nautical'. You will feel like you are a part of the Sea while enjoying a different ocean theme in each room.

We brought our kids for a 10 day family vacation to Spanish Wells. We had an amazing time. Roy and Linda were wonderful hosts and it was nice to have them next door in case we had any questions. They were very, very sweet to us and our kids. The house was well stocked with plenty of beach towels, gear for the beach, a few things we forgot (aloe) and a nice washer and dryer. The kids loved using the paddle boards and taking rides in the golf cart. There's a beautiful beach about 2 minute walk down the street. Roy let our daughters use an extra bike. The kid's also liked being right near Buddha's to walk over and order fries. Overall, we were very happy with everything and made some incredible memories. I would love to return to Spanish Wells. Thank you so much to Roy and Linda for your hospitality and kindness.

We had a lovely stay at “Conched Out” cottage. The cottage is a traditional island style painted in bight Bahamian colours which makes it so inviting. We had hot sunny weather but the cottage was air conditioned and comfortable. The kitchen had a large stove and refrigerator with large size washer and dryer facilities. The three bedrooms were very comfortable. The main bedroom downstairs had a nice size ensuite and there was a second full bathroom upstairs for the two bedrooms there. These bedrooms had individual cooling systems. There was also a deck off the upstairs hallway and the views of the setting sun were beautiful. Roy and Linda, the hosts, who live next door were so helpful and kind. We had a wonderful 5 day vacation on Spanish Wells.

I had a wonderful 3 week stay at Conched Out! The house was just as described and shown in the photos. I spent most of my time on the porch! Beds were comfortable and Roy and Linda are just lovely. Having been to Spanish Wells many times, I would definitely rent this house again! Oh, and it comes with a great buggy - bonus!

This was our first time to Spanish Wells and definitely won’t be the last. The house was centrally located and easy to walk to the beach or local bar/restaurant, Budda’s. It was well appointed and cozy. Golf carts are the primary form of transportation so the one included was great. Saved the money of renting one separately.

Having no idea what toi expect being a first visit, this could not have gone smoother. From the great communication to the giant hug when we landed on the dock, the whole trip was made so much better by having this house and the owners near. We love Roy and Linda as they are so friendly, helpful and gracious. The house was perfect and exactly as described. We wanted for nothing. We cannot wait to return.

We returned for the second year in a row, and once again had a wonderful experience! Conched Out is truly our home away from home and everything we could need is available. Linda and Roy are fantastic hosts and make us feel like we are members of their family. We will return again because Spanish Wells has a piece of our hearts. Until next time!

We have been to Spanish Wells twice. The first time, we stayed right on the ocean and yes, it was lovely. This year, we stayed at Conched Out Island Cottage it was JUST AS LOVELY! In fact, we preferred it and plan to stay at Conched Out Island Cottage again next year! This is a nearly 100 year old, traditional Spanish Wells cottage and it's not perfect or shiny new, but that's what's so great about it! You feel like you are becoming part of the community staying here. We absolutely LOVED riding the bikes from the cottage all over town. We loved being able to walk to the Island Mart for a snack. We loved being able to walk to Budda's for karaoke night! Roy will take the kayak and paddle boards to the beach for you and leave them there. Then you just hop in your golf cart and head to the beach and kayak to your heart's content, which is exactly what we did. You can kayak out to Pier Rock and snorkel. Speaking of snorkeling, you can snorkel easily all along Russell Island. You just park your golf cart at the end of any public road on the north side of Russell Island and walk right into the water. The snorkeling is excellent! (Go at high tide.) Of course, the beach is the shining star of Spanish Wells and we feel we were able to experience more of the beach because we didn't stay on it. Every day, we'd pick a different section to hang out on. Again, you just drive your golf cart to the end of any public road, park it, and walk right on to the beach. Each day, we'd pick a different road to park at and get to experience a different part of the beach. The whole thing is glorious, but each section has it's own vibe and features. You do not miss anything about Spanish Wells by staying in town. You gain an immersive experience! Roy and Linda are outstanding hosts and are super friendly. They give hugs and fresh fruit from the trees in their yard! The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and the back yard is so lovely! We took many naps in the hammock and lounge chairs. We highly recommend Conched Out Island Cottage.

Linda and Roy are fantastic. They arranged our pick up from the airport all the way to the home. Make sure to reserve an outing on the boat with them- that was our favorite part of the trip! Spanish Wells is very small but super safe and friendly. If you’re looking for a laid back vacation with lots of beach time, this is your destination. I can’t imagine a better place to stay on the island. The home is comfortable and well stocked with everything you’ll need. Thank you Roy and Linda for an unforgettable trip to your lovely home and island!

Love this house! This is our second time staying at Joe and Linda's. This is the perfect cottage. Great location, and wonderful owners. Linda had a nice meal waiting for us - a crawfish casserole, beans and rice, slaw, and Johnny cakes and guava jam. I love the layout of the house. One bedroom downstairs, and two bedrooms upstairs, so plenty of privacy. Nice backyard, and there's a kayak and paddleboards, too, although we didn't take them out.
As Joe says, not goodbye, but see you next time!
We will definitely be back. Great price, and wonderful hospitality!

We had the best time vacationing in Spanish Wells. The island itself is stunning and small - feels very private. We rarely ever saw other people at the beach. A perfect hideaway.
We (3 adults + 1 baby) spent an entire month living in the house owned by Roy and Linda. The were such amazing hosts!! They met us at the dock in the golf carts, showed us around the house, were ways available on Whatsapp, or often we'd just walk right over to their house a few steps away.
I highly recommend taking one of their boat excursions. They took us snorkeling, feeding the turtles, swimming with the pigs. It was one of the happiest days of our lives :)
We loved being so close to the water. The house comes with a kayak and paddle boards. We kayaked almost every day. Even kayaked to Eleuthera. We also appreciated the golf cart that Roy and Linda included with the rental. Entire island runs on golf carts. They are so fun to drive and the breeze when driving is so nice. We would grab ice cream from Papa's Scoops and drive to other end of the island to watch the sunset almost every night.
The house itself had everything we needed. Enough room. Lots of towels. Good internet connection. I had to work a few days and had no issues with zoom calls.
I highly highly recommend this rental. You cannot find better especially for this price. We will definitely be back.

Roy and Linda made everything easy! They took care of getting us from the airport in North Eleuthera to the front door of Conched Out. They were warm and welcoming. The house itself was super convenient to the beach and to any other place you wanted to be on the island. It was fully stocked and very comfortable. If we ever make it back to Spanish Wells, and I think we will, we will stay here again!

From the first messages with Dylan through the final drop off at the ferry, we had the BEST experience! Spanish Wells has a piece of our heart and we will return again. We were welcomed into the Pinder family as if we have known them our whole lives and we are so thankful. From arranging our transportation, to the warm welcoming, to the boat charter with Roy, the friendliness of literally everyone we encountered, and the ease of getting around in a golf cart...it was simply the best! There was nothing that we lacked and it was great to have a house to call our own for a week. We have two young children and they too loved every minute of their stay so I would highly encourage other families to visit too. Thank you so much to the Pinder family, we will see you again soon!

Home away from home in Paradise!
The house was clean, well maintained & stocked with everything we could possibly need. Beds, linens & towels impeccable. Roy & Linda were gracious hosts & provided local foods for us upon arrival; so appreciated after traveling. The neighborhood is peaceful & house just minutes from a beautiful beach. The back yard is beautifully landscaped with ample seating & a grill for cooking out. We can't wait to go back. Would recommend to anyone.

This original island cottage is charming and very comfortable. The hosts Linda and Roy live next door and are kind and delightful. They provide excellent and up to date information on all topics relevant to Spanish Wells. Roy met me at the dock in a golf cart and when we arrived at the cottage Linda had prepared a terrific crawfish salad for my lunch. The cottage is quiet and has a nice front porch, deck off the second floor, and backyard perfect for barbecuing. I didn't need ac or even the ceiling fans but they are there if you need them. The prettiest beach on the island is only two blocks away. I highly recommend this cottage.

From the time we were greeted so warmly at the dock by Linda to our final goodbye to Spanish Wells, our entire week was just perfect. It couldn't have been easier to have our golf cart included, the location is truly 2 minutes walking to the gorgeous beach, the cottage was perfect, prettier than the photos show...Linda and Roy both were amazing and fun hosts. We chartered Ray's boat for a half day and Linda joined and it was such a great day. Roy brought us to where we could see king conch, we saw a dolphin, met the friendly sea turtles, saw huge starfish and snorkeled with beautiful fish....and sand bar is possibly the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
We can't recommend this cottage enough if you're looking for a laid-back, relaxing vacation in paradise!

I would recommend this property to anyone. The hosts are two of the greatest people that you will meet. Linda met us at the doc and when we arrived at the cottage there was fresh crawfish salad, rice and beans, and Johnny cakes. Roy came over to welcome us as soon as he returned from his charter. We did a half day charter with Roy, swimming with pigs, turtles, and star fish. Swinging on swings in the middle of the ocean, and digging sand dollars on the sand bar. Better hosts you’ll never find. The cottage is great, two minutes to the beautiful beach. This was our second stay and we will be back again.

From the first phone conversation with Roy and Linda Pinder, it felt like we were family, not tourists. We were made so welcome to Spanish Wells. They have treated us with conch salad and boiled fish dishes. They have helped us and guided us. We also chartered their boat for a fun filled day of snorkeling and adventures with home made sandwiches and cookies. We had the best time. We love Roy and Linda and would rent this house again any chance we get! It’s well stocked with everything you need and is convenient to everything, and no way will you ever have better neighbors!

This being the 8th trip to Spanish Wells since 2016 for my little family of 3 was, by far, the MOST incredible!!Roy and Linda were FANTASTIC hosts...Upon arrival, there was a hot meal (stuffed lobster tails, twice baked potatoes, and green beans with bacon) waiting for us in the oven, along with lemon meringue pie!!ANYTHING we needed was at our disposal!Roy took us out to feed the turtles (for a fee, of course) - something we had never done before - AMAZING!!They made us a SPECTACULAR boiled fish breakfast one day.Our buggy got a flat and Roy was there within 5 minutes to change the tire!!The house itself is very clean, super well-stocked, and PLENTY roomy!!When we weren't out galivanting, we spent the majority of time on our front porch or the little upper deck.I, honestly, cannot say enough positive things about Conched Out Cottage and Roy and Linda Pinder.We LOVE everything about them and the house.I HIGHLY recommend staying here...Except for next Christmas, as we ALREADY have it booked!!!Gerald, Lari, and Chance Lett

Excellent place to stay. The Pinder's are wonderful hosts and we hope to someday go back and stay with them again. As we were there on business, this was not a vacation but they went overboard to take care of our needs. Three bedroom house with everything you need, golf cart, etc. Roy Pinder is a hoot!
