Photos and Description of this Spanish Wells holiday house - 3 BR, 3 BA, Sleeps 9

Windswept sits on a sloping waterfront lot on the south shore of Russell Island. Just far enough away from the little fishing town of Spanish Wells so that you can enjoy your own personal paradise, but close enough to enjoy all of its benefits, like the grocery stores or gorgeous beach that is 1.5 miles of sandy perfection. If you are a fishing enthusiast there are great bonefish flats just offshore where you can spend lazy afternoons fly-fishing. At Windswept the ocean is truly your backyard with access to the water right outside your back door. With steps right down to the water you will feel as if you have your own private island. Swimming, snorkeling and kayaking can become a daily routine. A two-person kayak is available to paddle along the shore line or over to a neighboring beach. You just might get lucky enough to meet the dolphins that live around the island. After a day out on the water, come home and have a relaxing bath in the jacuzzi and then a film in the mini-cinema.

Spanish Wells is a place for those who want to vacation in a Caribbean island that is still pristine and peaceful. It is a quiet fishing village where one can relax without kitschy or loud tourist attractions. It is in a perfect location, situated between Harbour Island and Eleuthera. Harbour island, a tourist mecca, is a 25 minute ferry ride away and Eleuthera, a mere 10 minute boat ride. Both of these islands provide extensive opportunities for day trips. Spanish Wells is connected to Russells Island (where Windswept is located) by a bridge and it is the quieter of the two islands because it is just beginning to be developed. But because the island is so small it doesn't take too long to get anywhere.

spanish wells christmas

edshoegirl houston texas usa
Review Submitted: December 30, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
my family and i spent christmas week at windswept. it was wonderful. the house is beautiful and the people on the island were charming and friendly. we felt at home and as if we were amongst friends. the weather was great. we were able to snorkle and swim at the house. we rented a boat for a few days. the snorkleing was amazing. i really enjoyed the people of spanish wells and hope to return soon. i think my dad wanted to handcuff himself to the steps at windswept. thank you lucinda for your hospitality and a wonderful christmas vacation.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind review. I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much and I do hope that you and your family will return. Windswept will be there waiting for you.

Best Vacation Ever!

Wii Player Glen Rose, Texas
Review Submitted: May 27, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This house was super clean and well maintained. It was the perfect house for my husband, myself, and our two children, ages 9 & 6. The owner was the most outstanding hostess we have ever met. She really saw to our every need and made sure that we had a great vacation experience. I would highly recommend this property to people who are visiting Spanish Wells. Once you see the views from this house, you won't want to leave!

Amazing hospitality

RKH Grapevine, Texas
Review Submitted: February 3, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Our family spent 5 days at the windswept villa and really enjoyed this home. The house has amazing views of the caribbean and we loved watching the sunsets from the large balcony. This villa is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a beach outing. We had kayaks,beach chairs, kids beach toys,towels and whatever else we needed Lucinda found. Speaking of Lucinda, I have never met someone as accomodating and helpful as this home owner. When we arrived at the dock in Spanish Wells she was there waiting for us and had already rented us a golf cart. She arranged for us to go the local grocery store(even though it was closed), so that we could stock up on supplies. When we arrived at the home we could not believe the stunning views. The home offers 3 bedrooms(two upstairs and 1 downstairs) and 3 bathrooms. There is also a really cool home theatre downstairs with a full compliment of DVD's. The back of the property overlooks the ocean and there are steps that take you straight down to the water. You can launch your kayaks there or take a dive in the water. A few words of wisdom about Spanish Wells itself. This island is not a party island and the restaurants are average at best. You cannot order a drink on the island, but you can pick up liquor at the ferry crossing and bring it back with you. The secret to really enjoying this place is getting to know the locals of Spanish Wells. If you take time to open up and show a smile it will open up many doors. We enjoyed nights with Lucinda and friends while grilling fresh lobsters out on our balcony. We experienced homemade coconut icecream made fresh in our garage. We really felt like we where part of a special family in this community. What a wonderful time and we can hardly wait for our next visit. I almost forgot that this island offers exceptional beaches and great bone fishing. Go and you will return a better person!!

Beautiful home with beautiful island people

Ken and Chris Marietta, Georgia
Review Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This was the best time we ever have had in the outer Bahamas!!! The owner of the home took us out fishing, spearfishing and lobstering! The home was gorgous and even came with plenty of food (fish) to eat. We really enjoyed the small island of Spanish Wells and the locals. The weather was awesome all week. Everyone was very friendly and I feel like we have new friends for life. The spearfishing and conch gathering was awesome. We were treated like family from the first day we arrived and would recommend this spot to anyone wanting to get away from the tourist traps and really enjoy the islands as the locals do. We never made it to any of the reataurants as we ate our daily catches every day. Lucinda and her family and friends were great and we are looking forward to seeing them all again!

A Taste of Paradise

beach seeker Picton, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: May 20, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
Our family spent two wonderful weeks in Windswept this winter, and hope to return next year. The villa has a beautiful view to the south west from Russel's Island, and has a huge deck on the upper story to take advantage of the scene, complete with table and gas grill. There are stone stairs cut down to the water and a small seaside sitting area. A ladder lets you down into the waist deep sea for those who want to swim and snorkel. It was just right for my daughter's first conch diving!

Windswept was spotless. It has a beautiful and well equipped kitchen upstairs (and a second one downstairs which we didn't use) with tiled floors and exquisite decorating. Lucinda (the owner) certainly has an eye for furnishings. There are three bedrooms, two upstairs and one downstairs. Two of them look out over the sea. The upper bedroom opens via french doors to the deck, which beckoned us each morning. The bathrooms have jacuzzi tubs. Downstairs is a home theater with a widescreen tv and dvd player, and a computer which I (unfortunately?) was able to use to keep up with some work e-mails.

The beach over the bridge (3 minutes by golf cart) is absolutely stunning. It extends for a mile or two and if there were another 20 people in sight, it was a busy day.

The grocery store is very well stocked if you want to cook. If you don't, there are several restaurants with great food, although none would be considered "fine dining".

If you are looking for a quiet retreat on a friendly island with beautiful scenery and a nearly deserted beach, Windswept is for you.

Thanks, Lucinda, for sharing your house!
