Sandy Shoes, Russell Island , Bahamas

Our family has had the best time here! The perfect location, and amazingly spacious house for our family. The hosts were so accommodating and made us feel at home. We can’t wait to come back!

Just exceptional!! Fantastic stay, everything just perfect!

Such a cute and comfortable home! Incredible view. Perfect!

It was all around absolutely amazing. Sweetings Paradise isn’t just a slogan! Absolute Paradise. Cristy was very nice to us and organized a lot for us. You don’t have to care about much. Thanks for the stay

Wonderful location and view

This was our first time to Spanish Wells/Russell, and it will not be our last! The Sweetings were attentive, helpful, and considerate. Our house was beautiful and spotless. We loved the private beach area and all the amenities that came with the house. We couldn't be happier!

We stayed here over Christmas with 2 teenage daughters and had a great and relaxing 6 day stay. I have never had a host as attentive and helpful as Christy. They made sure that we were met at the airport and shuttled all the way to the island, and gave us a quick tour of the island. The cottage was perfect and so relaxing. I have never seen so many stars at night as we did on this island. We even slept out under the stars on Christmas night. It was surreal. I have stayed at many rentals, but Sandy Shoes stands out and I would recommend it to anyone. (Also the starfish and snorkeling right off the shore was great..just wear water shoes).

Everything about our trip was amazing! Christy and Shane were so helpful and always responded within minutes to any questions we had. The property was perfect, and very well appointed. The beach and access to the water was even better than advertised. The location of the property felt so private but was also just a quick golf cart ride away from the restaurants and stores. We will absolutely be coming back to the island again and would love to stay at one of Christy and Shane's amazing properties!

First of all, Christy was in touch with us before we even arrived to make sure we were all set when we arrived. Then Christy and Shane met us at ferry dock with a golf cart to use during our stay and pointed out areas of interest on the way to property. The cottage is located on a beautiful, well maintained property with 2 other units, but this one is on the water. This well put together unit has a great view and there's no traffic buzzing by all day, so it's nice and quiet.The beach is right outside your door and is shared with the other units, but there are plenty of water toys, chairs, two day beds, and shade for everyone. There are two sets of stairs that lead into the water and there are turtles and fish right off the wall. Bring water shoes due to the urchins and the rocks, however. See sunrise and sunset right from your own beach!!! And if you are done with the gorgeous sunshine, or just need some A/C, the unit has good internet, Roku TV, a real washer and dryer, and some kitchen essentials (spices,foil, soap, oils, and dish-wares). And if you are coffee addicts like us, there's your standard coffee machine and a Keurig (you can buy individual pods at the grocery if you didn't bring your own). All in all a great stay in a quiet part of Spanish Wells.

We enjoyed this house so much! The location was perfect for us and I loved having both the sand and rocky shore. The house was beautiful and suited us perfectly! Christy and Shane were absolutely great also! We definitely recommend using them for a boating excursion! We can’t wait to come back!!

The house was very clean and cute, and the property is located in a very quiet area along with an amazing view. The owners were very nice and helpful with everything. We had no problems with communication or with the house at all. This is the perfect house for a relaxing stay in spanish wells.

We really wanted to love this place and give 5 stars but three things we wish we knew before we booked: 1) you are oceanfront, but there's no sand so be prepared to have water shoes 2) the water sports equipment and beach area is shared with other houses on the property, it's not yours 3) there are other houses being built on the property and it's effectively an active construction site...which means workers were milling around outside our house so there was 0 privacy for a few hours which was especially disappointing because my wife came out of the shower and saw someone through the window thinking this place was private. Other than that, the house is lovely, the hosts were very communicative (and apologetic about the construction work), but the three things above would make me book a different place had I known :(
