Relaxing and gorgeous beach

Starfish Cottage has everything you need to have a fantastic, relaxing vacation. A short distance to the most beautiful beach and a wonderful walk on pure white sandbar. The Bahamian natives are the nicest people.

Perfect Location

We enjoyed our stay at Starfish Cottage. It was very close the beach and the golf cart made it very easy to see all of Spanish Wells. The cottage was well equiped and the bed was very comfortable. We would love to come back and stay again.

Great Rental for Couples

My wife and I stayed in Starfish Cottage for 9 nights and loved everything about it. It was clean, comfortable and perfect size for couples. The owners and staff were super nice, responsive and arranged for our arrival without issue. Of course, Spanish Wells was simply amazing...beautiful beaches, great restaurants, boating adventures, and the people are absolutely the nicest. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect Spot

Perfect place right across from beach access. The hole was comfortable with everything needed. It also had a 5 gallon water cooler that was extremely convenient. I have been to SW many times and will stay here again. They even throw in a golf cart for the week. We enjoyed it!!

Awesome location and super functional.

It’s in an amazing location and had absolutely everything we needed. The Wi-Fi is great which is not something you particularly need here but it’s very nice to have. They coordinated everything for us perfectly. We can’t wait to come back.

Relaxation

Very nice rental. Owner met us at the dock with the golf cart and it was relaxation for the rest of the week. Unit was clean and well appointed. Perfect for just a couple or with a couple of small children. The cottage had everything we needed and getting anywhere on the island was a breeze with the included golf cart. We hit the Food Fair supermarket and cooked in a few nights and also hit most of the restaurants in town. Highly recommend both Wreckers and Shipyard. Buddahs and the Sandbar were both great for snacks and a cold Kalik. Papa Scoops is a must for an ice cream cone in the evening ... flavors change daily and you can't beat the golf cart drive thru. Sit on the beach, enjoy a good book and take nice walks around the sandbar. Plenty of rental opportunities to go fishing, snorkeling or diving if you are so inclined.

Great value

We are budget minded travelers. This rental has everything we were looking for. King size bed is sometimes difficult in Spanish Wells. It has a brand new washer & dryer which is a plus also. The rental is the best we have found in Spanish Wells so far. When you are budget minded. They included a golf cart & 5 gallon bottles of drinking water. We also had TV service for the first time in Spanish Wells.

Awesome location in Spanish Wells

Cottage was amazing for a couple, the golf cart was all we needed unless going to another island. The local residents were SO friendly and invited us to Thanksgiving and Holiday celebrations happening while we were there. Our emails were answered promptly and despite arriving a day later than expected, all went smoothly (Pinder Taxi is great).

First Christmas away

My husband and I traveled to Spanish Wells for Christmas since we couldn’t be with family this year. The property was perfect. Great location for shopping, dining, and going to the beach. The golf cart was a great plus. We were able to get anywhere in town. I definitely want to go back sometime soon.

Great trip!

Starfish Cottage was a perfect little condo for us on this trip to Spanish Wells. Quick access to everything we needed, super clean & comfortable just a wonderful little place. Had some issue with the internet though, it never worked the entire trip even after powering down, resetting, unplugging etc, so I wasn't able to login to my office & do any work in the evenings. Not a huge problem, after all who really wants to work while you're in the islands! Inclusion of the golf cart in the rental was a great plus, pretty much everyone gets around by cart & you really do need one if you're going to the Sandbar Grill on Russell Island, which was our favorite spot. We had a wonderful time on Spanish Wells, beautiful water & beaches, friendliest people ever and such a safe relaxing island, can't wait to go back!

Just what we needed.

We had the most wonderful week on Spanish Wells and are already looking forward to returning soon. Overall, our whole experience was amazing. Andre, his family and staff went above and beyond in welcoming us to their island, making us comfortable and sharing with us some island highlights. The rental process was simple and the house had everything you needed, it was comfortable and very clean. The outdoor area was beautifully done and super comfortable and the little touches (the lights in the mason jars) make this a special place. The island is clearly the pride of it’s people as it was clean and well kept. We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Thank you to Andre and his family and staff for giving us an incredible experience.

Small but perfect

Starfish rental had everything we wanted. For 2 people it’s a great get away. I personally would not house others due to the small size. 1 King bed, tub/shower, furnished kitchen, awesome patio, golf cart, tv, WiFi, bottled water for drinking (a necessity) washer/dryer, 2 bikes and kayak. It is centrally located on Spanish wells so convenient. I believe the couch folded out too but we did not use that. It is off the Main Street near ocean but not ocean front, only a few minutes walk. Cooking our own meals saved a bit. Bring a clock radio as I didn’t find one. The rental went smooth and they are very helpful getting the taxi/ferry lined up! We will be back. Be prepared for internet or tv to be sporadic Anywhere on the island. Don’t sweat it. Enjoy the beauty of the island.

Charming place in the heart of Spanish Wells!

Starting from the moment we got off the water taxi from Eleuthera to the moment we had to leave on the ferry to Nassau, it was a GREAT time on Spanish Wells. The Starfish Cottage could not have been a better place for my family of 4. Andre and his wife were the perfect hosts. The house was spotless and very comfortable. Our favorite spot was sitting out on the patio listening to our daughters play guitar and uke while sipping on rum punch. The supplied golf cart came in very handy getting around Spanish Wells and Russell Island. The beaches were pristine and the people of the island could not have been anymore pleasant. We will definitely be back to Spanish Wells.
