Absolutely Wonderful!

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!

A Piece of Paradise

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!

Incredible views from and beautifully appointed home!

We had the chance to spend a long weekend with our teenage daughters, and this home was perfect! The host is magnificent and super accommodating. The house itself was in immaculate condition, had all the things we could’ve needed, and was located in a beautiful area. We would love to come back as soon as possible. We cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Great way to get away!

This is a great new property! I can't say much more than the other reviews that you will read here. We loved the location, easy access to the beach, the privacy and the golf cart! Such a great add on to the rental. Christy is a great hostess and made sure our stay was a pleasant one. Biggest problem is going to be keeping this a secret!

Wow! Such a pleasant fun place to stay! Property was amazing and just as advertised. Christy was fantastic to work with and took great care of us. We went on three excursions with Shane, Shannon, and Eli and they were a wealth of knowledge of the area. The adventure was amazing. Best Vacation Ever! We will be back. Thank you Christy and Shane!

The best vacation home and hosts you could ask for!

Christy and Shane were so great, anything we asked for if they couldn’t provide it, they found someone who could. They wene far and away the best hosts we have encountered, I cannot day enough great things about them. Beautiful island with the friendliest people! The house is just as advertised, so charming, clean and modern! We could not have found a more perfect location for us. There are steps leading right into the ocean from your own private beach. We cannot wait to visit again.

Paradise under the stars

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).

Sandy Shoes

Christy , Was the perfect host!. From arranging our cab and meeting us at the docks. She also showed us around the island which is beautiful. The only thing we thought there was a beach that you could walk on from the house. But with the golf cart you could be at a beach in 5min or less.

Sandy Shoes is Shangri La!

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!

Spanish Wells Heaven

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!

Beautiful home!!

This is a beautiful home with wonderful view of the water. We new the minute we arrived that we were going to love this home. Shane and Christy are such lovely people and really have made a spectacular home. From the inside to the outside it has everything you need. They have put a lot of care into the structure as well as the decorating and outside beach they made. Saw string rays and turtles from the steps. They are wonderful hosts and even brought us a delicious pie that Christy made. Spanish Wells never disappoints this is our 6th visit. Thank you to Shane and Christy for letting us be their guest!

Great place, amazing hosts, we will be back

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
