The place was clean and included all of the amenities needed. The hosts were wonderful, picking us up at the ferry and leading us to the rental. The unit came with a golf cart which was great, and one less thing for us to deal with. Owners had a pack-and-play for us. They had kayaks, paddle boards, and beach furniture. While its not in the heart of Spanish Wells, its a small area and really easy to get around with the golf cart. We grilled lobster on the beach with the neighbors, and sat around a bonfire after the sun went down. In short, it was everything you hope a rental will be when you book. 5 out of 5

Awesome place!

We can’t say enough amazing things about this place or Christie and Shane! The house is the most adorable thing ever and I wanted to take it home with me! The location is great with the little beach! Nothing is longer than a 10 minute buggy ride away. They were beyond helpful every step of the way even after our arrival! We had a buggy that didn’t want to start and they met us at a restaurant within minutes to switch it out. Our weather wasn’t the greatest, but Shane knew exactly when we would have the best chance at enjoying our excursion and it did not disappoint! Make sure to book something with him!! Overall, we would recommend this property and anything else Christie and Shane are a part of! Such a lovely couple and their passion for Spanish Wells shows!

There are no words to describe this place, but I’ll try! Heaven on earth and paradise just aren’t descriptive enough. The super sweet hospitable owners went over and beyond to help coordinate arrival and departure for us and make it smooth. The place was very clean and I’m usually picky about cleanliness- we had 0 complaints. Love having a golf cart to ride. We didn’t get to use kayaks cause it was pretty windy and we were busy exploring on golf cart most time, but was nice to have anyway. Loved the outdoor bed on the beach, we watched the meteor shower and nice breeze kept bugs away. Close to main town on SW and far enough for privacy! Just a Fun “hop skip and jump” over the bridge on golf cart to SW island. Next time we are booking with Seagillian to enjoy some inshore and hopefully do more snorkeling behind house. If you’re hesitant to book on Russell island or here, don’t be! It’s completely safe(& I’m usually fearful of new places, but wasn’t there) and it was perfect location. Can’t wait to come back! Hopefully sooner than later and much longer stay. The layout was awesome. Porch was awesome. Beach behind house was awesome. Only thing I would do different is bring a lot less clothes, a wide brim sun hat, a good pair of water shoes, a good fitting snorkel, and good camera or drone. Cell phone pics just don’t do it justice. Book it, you will not regret it!

What an amazing vacation. My wife and I visited Spanish Wells for a week at the end of August-beginning of September. Sandy Shoes is a wonderful property. Absolutely gorgeous. Both the house and property are super clean. View is incredible. Christy and Shane are amazing hosts and are super nice people. Any request we had was dealt with Immediately, and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. Christy was kind enough to arrange transportation for us to and from the airport. She even took the time to give us a personal tour of the island and get us situated when we arrived. Property and hosts were 10/10. We are already planning our trip back. We cannot wait.

This trip was unbelievable! Christy and Shane were the best hosts we have ever had. Christy met us and showed us around town and we followed her to the cottage. They were so helpful finding a rental car and setting up transportation to and from the airport. The cottage was perfect and even better than advertised!

The rental property was wonderful. The water was beautiful. We rented from Christy a d Shane and also did an excursion thru them which was the highlight of the trip. Loved they had transportation for us already. And they made travel arrangements to get to the island. The house had everything we needed and even had kayaks and paddleboards which were fun as well. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. We got fresh fish and cooked ourselves one night but also ate at many of the restaurants. Definately would recommend anyone to book this stay. 5+ stars for sure!

My husband and I just returned from an amazing vacation in the Bahamas! Sandy Shoes/Sweetings Paradise was the perfect house for the two of us. The views are amazing and the location wonderful for a true-beach getaway! Thanks, Christy and Shane, for being such great hosts. You answered our questions quick, and the house was in perfect condition. Suggestions for travelers: Eat at the what appears to be the locals' favorite restaurants...Eagle's Landing, The Gap, and Budda's Snack Shack. Great food at reasonable prices. Enjoy the public park! It's honestly the prettiest location on Spanish Wells. Rent a boat. We rented a 17-ft. boat from Harbourside Golf Cart & Boat Rentals. We went to a couple of the nearby islands and just parked the boat, walked the beach, and picnicked. It was wonderful...no buildings, no people. One of the islands DID have a few full-time residents: pigs, chickens, roosters, a turkey, and some ducks. LOL Rent from Christy and Shane for the best vacation you'll ever have! Diane & Frank

Yes, it's a little bit from "town" (15 min buggy ride), but it provides a peace and tranquility that is amazing. The view is incredible. The house is clean and modern. And, Christy is awesome. We plan to come again and rent two houses to accommodate more family.

We really enjoyed our stay! Both Christy and Shane were amazing and went above and beyond to help us in getting checked in and with airport transportation. They were also super cool. Shane also has an awesome boat and does charters. The house, while not large was perfectly appointed and comfortably accommodated us and our 2 teenagers. The deck and beach area were also amazing. Would definitely stay again!

Sandy Shoes was just what we needed for a relaxing getaway! The house had all necessities and was just as advertised (maybe even better). We spent so much time relaxing on the comfy front porch overlooking the water. Christy was such a great host and made getting on and off the island and to the airport easy. She was accommodating and helpful when we had unexpected changes. We really enjoyed the nature and culture of Spanish Wells and Sandy Shoes and highly recommend it.

We had the absolute best getaway! We stayed here for our honeymoon and had an awesome time! The property is right in front of the water with many options such as paddle boarding and kayaking or just relaxing with a beautiful view! Christy was super on top of everything in terms of communication and replied quickly to all of our questions. The property was clean and exactly as pictured! All the locals were very nice and welcoming, Spanish Wells is the place to go!

Christy and Shane are the best. Immediately made new friends. House is exactly as pictured and is super cute. We will defiantly be back to Spanish Wells and we'll no doubt stay with Christy and Shane. Highly recommend spending a day or two with Shane @ Seagillian Life. Had a fantastic time!

We were traveling with our daughter and her 3 month old baby girl, the owners went above and beyond to accommodate us. The home was lovely and very clean. We would absolutely stay there the next time we visit Spanish Wells.

We had a wonderful time. The other rentals on property were empty for most of our stay so it was very quiet and peaceful. Russell Island is a short ride from Spanish Wells, so still very easy to get to the grocer and restaurants. The rocks were sharp but the snorkeling was great around them. Shane and Christy made everything easy and were extremely responsive to questions. My family looks forward to a return trip someday.

Our stay was amazing and the view is spectacular! Thank you Shane and Christy for sharing your paradise!!!

Sandy Shoes wraps you in it’s charm the minute you walk inside. The view is spectacular, and everything you need is at your fingertips. If not, Christy, like a “Genie”, will have it on your doorstep. Shane and his brother , Shannon make a boat excursion on Seagillian interesting and fun, and wizzing around on your own golf cart is awesome. Don’t hesitate Go!

We couldn’t be happier with Sandy Shoes! It’s spotlessly clean inside and out. The view is spectacular and the friendly island people won our hearts. Shane and Christy are the best hosts and we loved getting to know them!

Peace and quite - great views - amazing people
