Consistently wonderful:)

Fantastic as always! We have stayed at Ross and Stella’s lovely cottage for a week in February every year since 2019. Over the years we have had many friends, children and grandchildren share the experience. It works perfectly for us because we are exploring the Bahamas in our boat, but don’t have room for more than another couple to stay onboard. The dock and 3 bedroom house at Pelican Bay make it comfortable for everyone!

Great hosts, awesome spot, clean house, perfect location! Ross was so great and even brought us down fresh conch salad. We’ve stayed at many places on Spanish Wells and this was by far our favorite property so far. We will most definitely be back!

Wonderful Bahama Vacation

During our 1,300+ mile cruise through The Bahamas, this was by far our best stay. This house was perfect in all aspects. It was perfectly setup for boaters, on the sheltered Pelican Bay. The owners couldn't have been more pleasant, providing us with local knowledge, homemade "goodies", the feeling of being "home", and privacy. This was the first time visiting the Spanish Wells area, and we fell in love with it. I would highly recommend this home to anyone, both boaters and non-boaters. We are planning on retuning next year.

This house was beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and comfortable! The beds were soooo comfortable that we didn't want to leave. The house is in a perfect location to keep the boat for the weekend and easily access when we wanted to head to the beach. Thank you Darrin and Ross!

Amazing!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 6. We rented a boat, so we spent a lot of time fishing and exploring the area by water. Ross made us feel perfectly at home. We could have chatted for hours! The manatees even paid us a visit! An amazing week!

Amazing Adventure

The property and experience exceeded expectation. The house was amazing, it had ample space for our group of 6 adults, well thought out design that provided an easy flow. A quick golf cart ride and you can find anything you need, but for us the dock in front of the house was a huge value add for our 2 boats. This tucked away location is perfect for any inclement weather, and made for easy loading/unloading of the boats after a day or fishing/exploring. Highly recommend. We will be back!
