About this house rental


May - 23 . Since lockdown the house has undergone a lot of renovations.

We also now have mains water to our end of the island so including our other water sources, we won’t run out of water.

The photos of house and interior were taken August 22 to May 23
All kitchen appliances are new , all bedrooms are newly decorated and beds all have new mattresses and linens.

Four Bedrooms and two Bathrooms and an outside shower

Bedrooms and beds are arranged as detailed which means we really can sleep 12 people.
Nobody will have to sleep on a sofa bed, camp bed or on a blow up mattress on the floor.

The open plan kitchen and dining area will accommodate everyone. If you want to dine outside then the Deck area has a large table able to seat 8.

House is set in mature orchards with ocean to the back and a sandy beach across the road at the front ( 50yds away ) accessed via The Sandbar restaurant ask them for access if not dining there. The house ocean side is deep enough to swim/snorkel and keep a boat close during your stay.

We have small coral reefs in the front with resident Octopus, Puffer fish and the usual brightly coloured reef fish. Rays and Turtles cruising past , there is always something to see. Dip your rod in the water and pretty sure you would get enough for grilled fish for supper.

House is secluded but not remote, and is just a short golf cart ride ( 10 Minutes ) from all the facilities in Spanish Wells Town, Bars, Restaurants, Shops, Supermarkets, Clinic, Doctors and a stunning crescent beach with warm turquoise waters and silky white sand. Beach is great for Adults and children as the water starts very shallow and is protected by an offshore reef.

Our nearest Bar and Restaurant is " The Sandbar " opposite the house on the beach. Food is good and staff friendly, also a 1 minute walk from the front door, 30 Seconds if you are desperate.


Spanish Wells is also where the 'Bo Hengy ' fast ferry from Nassau arrives at 10:30 every morning and then travels on to Harbour Island 30mins away returning in the afternoon. Government ferries to Eleuthera leave and arrive every few minutes from Spanish wells dock giving access to North Eleuthera Airport which is about 15Minutes away by Taxi.


The view is stunning and the house is part of it, from sunrise to sunset on the veranda I never tire of staring out to sea, with a drink in one hand and Fresh lobster cooking on the Grill.

Just beautiful. A great place for R and R. However, flies are a huge problem at certain times. It seems like we chose that time. And you must be armed with bug spray. Other than that, our stay was magical!

Location is beautiful, and we very much enjoyed our selves. However there were two issues that should be noted. The house is in need of maintenance. The refrigerator is poshest and needs replaced. When on vacation I don’t set an alarm, the fridge had other ideas. Could use an investment. The 2nd point is that I felt the photos and video gave the impression that the access to the water was easy, it was not. The “ramp” to the water is rocky and with waves and wind is difficult to navigate. Finally we expected two kayaks there was only one and it had a leak that wasn’t apparent until 50 yards off shore.

House was ok. Furniture is stained. Water was the main issue. It was black and smelled terrible. We bought several gallons of water to sponge bath and to drink/cook etc. No TV in Master. Bedspread was stained. Towels and linen had stains. Wouldn’t rent again.

We have throughly enjoyed our time at the Blue House, the kids had so much to do in Spanish Wells and we had our privacy on Russell Island, and there is nothing like privacy when you are on vacation ! Justin the owner responded quickly to any and all questions we had, we will definitely be back!

Spanish Wells is a beautiful island. We were three woman traveling - so safety was my main priority. Once we got there and saw the house, the deck and got in that magical water... any stress or worry melted away. You can kayak and snorkel right off the house - make sure to bring some water shoes. House is as pictured. Only drawback was the taste of the tap water - however they left us a 5 gallon water which we used to make ice / brush out teeth / etc. It really wasn't an issue other than a small surprise when you first brushed your teeth or shower. We rented a golf cart and went all over town, also took the ferry to Eleuthera. Boat tour with Crazy Roy is a MUST - Franklin our caretaker was great. He lives next door and you only seem him if you want to - he won't intrude but will always respond. Justin - homeowner responded to my logistic questions like an old friend lending me his house. I can't wait to come back and see my new friends again!!!!!

The good: The house is in a beautiful location on the ocean on Russell Island. We loved snorkeling, kayaking, relaxing in the back yard hammock and on the beautiful sand beaches around Spanish Wells. The caretaker (Franklin) and his wife were super nice and helpful during our stay. The bad: There is a lot about the house that needs maintenance. The oven did not work (not a big deal, but wish we had known before grocery shopping). Midway through our stay the icemaker/freezer started making an extremely loud noise and we had to keep the icemaker off (again a minor inconvenience). A bigger issue was the air conditioning units in the living room and upstairs bedrooms starting leaking a lot of water. The repairman came the next day and put more freon in them, but the upstairs one never worked right and it was extremely hot in that bedroom and upstairs hallway. The second major issue was we ran out of water six days into our stay. Frankie switched us over to a reserve tank and the water smelled strongly of sulfur the rest of our stay. Everything in the house (including us and our clothes) reeked of the sulfur smell. Also, a previous review from several years ago mentioned the upstairs master bedroom mattress being worn out. I guess it was never replaced because sleeping on that bed was like sleeping on concrete. It was uncomfortable enough that I ended up on the couch several nights. We would definitely go back to Spanish Wells, but would find a different house to rent next time.

Spanish Wells is a great place to unwind. The locals are accommodating and friendly. Didn’t have a bad meal and the Kaliks were always cold! Love to come back.
