Perfect Accommodations

Description was spot on and booking was simple. Christy responded immediately and continued to communicate in advance and during our stay - no question went unanswered. Shane greeted us and was the perfect host. The property is beautiful, well appointed and clean. The site is quiet and relaxing, with beach, fire pit, kayak and golf cart for exploring the island. I can easily give Sweeting’s Paradise a 5 star recommendation!

Perfect Experience

The location was so beautiful and relaxing. It was everything I thought it would be and more. The addition of the golf cart was wonderful as most people drive golf carts on the island. It is definitely on island time which was great. The beds were so comfortable in the inside. The house was beautifully decorated. Christie the host was wonderful, immediate responses to any needs you have. We would definitely do it again.

Perfection!

This is my 3rd booking with Fish Fever and Anchors Away. These beach houses have everything you need, they are decorated so cute, and the beds are so comfortable! With the provided golf cart, the beach, the restaurants, and shopping are minutes away! There’s also a private beachfront to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea! Communication with Christy is always a message away and she is so helpful with anything you need! A Spanish Wells vacation is always a perfect vacation..and you can’t go wrong with a stay at Anchors Away.

Wow wow wow wow! I cannot say enough good things about anchors away !! This house was amazing to stay in for a whole week, Christy made the whole process so easy by scheduling a taxi & water taxi from the airport to Spanish wells! The house included paddle boards, a kayak, beach chairs & towels, and a golf cart! This was our first time visiting Spanish wells and it’s safe to say we will be back:)

Best decision ever!

My family have been to the Bahamas many times but this was our first trip to Spanish Wells/ North Eleluthera. Christy was so helpful! Set everything up for our shuttle, ferry ride and had golf carts and a guide waiting for us when we arrived. The house & location were just perfect! SUPER comfortable beds. Christy was out of town during our stay and she STILL took care of everything including setting up a fabulous 1/2 day charter. I only wished we had a longer stay but we WILL be back!

Lovely cottage

Property was super clean and very easy to access. Communication with the host was excellent. We needed a short rental before moving to a different property and this fit the bill, but honestly we would have been perfectly fine staying at Anchor's Away for the full week. The golf cart was waiting for us right on the dock which made getting from the dock to Russell's Island simple. We used the kayaks and paddle boards while we were there as well. The "beach" on property was handy for relaxing but the access to the water is rocky so not ideal for swimming -- luckily its a short ride to SW with the most beautiful sandy beaches in the world. We would stay again!

I never write a review, however this location as well as home is review worthy. Steps away from the most beautiful crystal clear water with a immaculate charming cottage. The property was very quiet and private. Being able to take the cart into town but at the same time have privacy from being not in town was perfect. Christy and Shane very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
