We arrived in ELH airport, got on the shuttle to take us to the Spanish Wells dock, no problem. After we got off the ferry in Spanish Wells, our property manager was NOT there to meet us as was planned. The driver called Candida, and she came after a short wait. We rented a golf cart at Harborside and then followed her to the property.
The property was clean and as advertised. The property
itself is not very wide, maybe 50 ft. There are houses on either side of the property, but they were vacant for all of our stay. If there were people there, I am sure it would not have been that quiet. That being said, we had a very quiet and private stay.
Probably the biggest disappointment was the water access. Make sure you have some water shoes to use the kayaks or paddleboard. The shore was all rough coral with no sand. Actually, almost all of Russell Island has a very rough coral shore. If you want a sandy beach, you had to go over to SW.
It was fun exploring both Russell Island and Spanish Wells with the golf cart.
We found a couple of hidden jems, Jays conch shack on Russell Island had some tremendous conch salad, Bernards fish dock on SW we bought some tremendous FRESH lobster tails (that Bernard cut up for us while we waited) that we brought back to the house and cooked on the grill.
We ate at several of the restaurants on SW, Wreckers and the Shipyard were good. We also went to the Sandbar almost across the street from the house on Russell Island.
All in all, we had a good stay. Make sure you bring plenty of $$ as everything is more expensive there, even at the larger grocery store on SW.
