About this property

Palm House

Steal away to the beautiful little fishing island of Spanish Wells, Eleuthera. The sea , the people, the beaches, the sunsets, the fishing and the flowers and palm trees all conspire to wash away the stress of our busy lives. The Palm House is teetering on the shore of a beautiful cove where you can walk forever before the water reaches your waist. A full service grocery store equipped down to the kiwi and wontons is a 5 minute walk away. Multiple restaurants, yacht club, liquor stores are within walking distance . Harbor Island and lovely Eleuthera are a short ferry ride away. Rent a car and drive south to check out various sites.

Paddle boards, kayak, bicycles and kite surf are provided. The Home was built in 2002 and furnished with an eye toward a perfect family get away. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with an outdoor shower and very large seaside deck where most of the fun time is spent. There is a large sleeping room for children with bassinet, crib, toddler bed and two full beds in addition to the 3 queen bedrooms. 15 can stay here comfortably. The kitchen is fully equipped for the serious cook , and the home is lovingly decorated in the vintage beach house style. Wi-fi is fully operational as well as a local phone landline and cable television. Come on down and be our guest. You will love this safe and peaceful ... Visually stunning ... swath of paradise , the likes of which are found no where else in the Caribbean..

Palm House

Our group of six really enjoyed our stay there, house and locarion was amazing. There were just a few items that were listed on VRBO site that weren’t available. They listed a hot tub there wasn’t one, listed a dishwasher but it was broken. Also the outdoor shower was run down as well as the deck and the outdoor furniture shown in pics wasnt all there. Other than that we really enjoyed it and would stay again.

Amazing home and island

We had an excellent vacation here. The location is unbeatable, with the beach a few steps away and a sandbar creating a calm, clear area for smaller kids to swim. The local property managers are amazing, very responsive and well-connected on the island. We were a party of 8 and the house was spacious and comfortable. The back deck is a great space, but could use some maintenance as there was a hole (which we kept covered with a chair) and some raised nails. Aside from this, we have no complaints, would recommend the propoerty, and would love to return again soon!

Wonderful home/beach

I rented this house for a family get together with 4 couples and it was absolutely perfect. It is situated on the most amazing beach that is great for walking/swimming and beach combing. The house was perfect for all of us with a wonderfully stocked and large kitchen, great living area, bedrooms and huge deck that is right on the beach. There are a few really good restaurants within walking or golf cart driving distance and the largest grocery store on the island right around the corner. Kenny the property manager was super helpful. Would love to stay here again!!

Let's Keep This Our Little Secret!

The house is everything the reviews say. Close to restaurants, the supermarket, and soft-serve ice cream. Yet, you walk out the French doors onto the deck and are immediately on the beach. You can walk the beach for miles, walk the sand bar for a quarter mile or kayak out directly from the house to a shipwreck like my nervous husband and I did. The house itself offers everything you need and Kenny, a real nice guy, will come up with everything else you need. I'm going to stay here again as soon as I can!

Best vacation ever

It’s going to be hard to put this into words. We’ve been to some nice all incisive Caribbean resorts over the years and have always been happy. We wanted something different… and boy did we get it! The house and the view… we got really lucky with this house as I stumbled upon the vacancy only a few months from our week of vacation due to a cancellation. Walking the N beach of Spanish Wells a few times that this house likely has THE best location and view of any. No exaggeration. It’s extremely close to the water with zero dune or grass obstructing the view. Kenny and Margo were extremely helpful and were there for us throughout the week if we had questions. It was very hard for me to convince my family to stray away from an all inclusive resort with the always there food and drink and multiple swimming pools. If that’s your thing then this place is NOT for you. If your think is the most beautiful beach and water on earth and the ability to explore on your own amongst some super nice locals then maybe this is your spot!?!? It’s like taking a step back in time 30-40 years. We rented a boat for 4 days from Harbourside and fished / beach hopped the majority of the week. My family has had the time of their lives!!! We will be back to Spanish wells for sure! Hopefully we can plan far enough ahead to get the Palm House again! There’s much more I could say…. But words are hard to find to describe!

Back to Paradise

We have stayed at Palm House before and once again, we were not disappointed. Margo and Kenny Pinder were wonderful with helping us make excursion plans and coordinating golf cart rental and airport transportation. There were many island excursions that everyone must see including swimming with pigs, Sand Dollar beach, swimming with sea turtles and the swings with the amazing stingrays. Thanks to Paulie for taking us to all these beautiful sites. The house was a quintessential beach home with lots of space for our party of 9. I love how clean and cozy it was. The house had everything we needed including beach towels, a well-stocked kitchen, laundry, paddle board, kayak, goggles/snorkels, etc. The water and the beach were perfect with plenty of sun and lots of privacy. If you want serenity, this is the place. The locals are very pleasant and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from including our kids’ favorite, Papa’s Scoops for soft serve ice cream. Don’t be surprised to see us again in the future! Everyone was sad to go. Until next time Spanish Wells

Best place ever!!

We had the best time! We loved everything about the Palm House and Spanish Wells. The home had everything that we needed. The grocery store, papa scoops, the harbor, and restaurants are all just minutes away from the Palm House. Kenny and Margo are just delightful. They are very accommodating and welcoming. Vincent also responds very timely to anything that you have questions about. We have small children and the shallow water was perfect for them to play. We loved the community and walks on the beach. My only complaint is I had to come home. You will not regret staying at this wonderful home and in this lovely beach community.

Wonderful family holiday

From the time we stepped off the ferry in Spanish Wells we felt comfortable, safe and welcome. This island is not for the all inclusive folks, but it was perfect for us! Property was wonderful and sat right on the best beach on the island. We had two toddlers so the shallow water was perfect for them. Plenty of water toys to use to go out beyond the bar for the older ones. House was extremely clean and had everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. I can’t say enough about the property managers, Kenny and Margo…..they truly reflected the heart of this island….so warm and accommodating even though we had folks coming and going most of the time. Margo even makes the best pumpkin bread I have ever had! I might need Bon Apetit to request her recipe as she keeps it close!!!! If you like a quiet island with a wonderful beach and a house that offers all the amenities, this is the place for you! We are already trying to figure out dates for 2024 so we can all go back!!!

Amazing!

Our week was simply amazing! Kenny and Margo took care of all of our needs and made sure we were well taken care of. The house was perfect with the best views. Our family of 4 had plenty of space and thoroughly enjoyed the back porch swing overlooking the beach. Everything was within a short golf cart ride. When visiting be sure to visit Papas Scoops for the best soft serve ice cream. Underwood Charters also made our fishing trip a memorable one. A big thanks to Kenny for handling all of the bookings. We will definitely be back in the future.

Fantastic stay!

We had an incredible stay at Palm House! The beach and ocean are right at the doorstep. We enjoyed snorkeling right in front of the house every day to see what new sea creatures we’d find. We were lucky to find a few sand dollars! We kayaked out to the nearby island which was tough, but well worth it because there is a coral reef surrounding it so the snorkeling was incredible! The beach is pristine and very pretty unpopulated so it’s very quiet and peaceful. Everything in the house was clean and comfortable. They were kind enough to leave the sunscreen and alcohol from the previous renters, so that was a bonus! Kenny was available for anything we needed from the taxi to the excursion. The grocery store was very close and we enjoyed all of the restaurants.

Wonderful Property

We just returned from a wonderful 2 week stay at the Palm House in Spanish Wells. The property is located on what I feel is the most beautiful beach in the world. The house was perfect for my extended family. Comfortable rooms, large kitchen, and a cozy family room are set up well. Our favorite spot was the huge deck overlooking the beach and ocean. Low tide exposes expansive sandbars the you can walk on for hundreds of yards into the ocean which is a great place to see sea life like starfish, conch and multiple varieties of fish. There are kayaks, paddle boards and bikes available too. Most importantly, our local hosts, Kelly and Margo were amazing. The were exceptionally friendly and responsive. We loved hope to return soon!

Palm House - a wonder in Spanish Wells

This was our first visit to Spanish Wells, so we did not know what to expect. I have to say, right from the time of making the booking, our host Vincent was very communicative and helpful. He put us in touch with the caretaker, Kenny who was wonderful and really played a big part in making our holiday so memorable. Palm House is quite frankly, unbeatable in terms of location in Spanish Wells - it is a 6 minute golf cart ride from the dock, it is right on the most beautiful beach on the island and walking distance from the large grocery store. The house itself is large, with a wonderful living area, very nice sized bedrooms, a large deck literally on the beach and is kept impeccably by the caretakers. If you're visiting Spanish Wells, look no further! We will be back for sure.

Perfect!!

We stayed at the Palm house for 9 nights and our only complaint is that we didn't book it for longer. The house is comfy. It has everything -- just keep looking. Bikes, paddleboards, games, puzzles, hammock, Kayaks, chairs everywhere, every kitchen item you might want and more. Every area was big enough for the 6 of us to sprawl out without every feeling cramped. Kenny and Margo were great. They helped us with any question. If you haven't been to Spanish wells before please know that you are returning to a previous time. Things run slower. The stores close at 5. You will get to know the names of the dogs that walk the beach. The locals will stop by to say hello. You will leave with friends from far away places and plan to return on the same week to see them again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Literally the Palm House Bahamas is how I imagine heaven.

I wake early, brew a cup of coffee and sit outside overlooking the beach while reading the news. A couple puffy scattered clouds speed by while I listen to the birds and the wind breathing on the palms. The waves crashing slightly and the fishermen's boats motoring out to sea! Poof! I realize I cannot worry about the things I cannot control!. The stresses of the world drain away such that peace overcomes me. Its an incredible feeling for someone tightly wound.

This property is my definition of peace. The community is extraordinarily safe and the views are breathtaking for those of us that love being on islands. The home is a home to build memories with our families able to sleep comfortably 12 to 15.

Get married on the beach, have a family reunion, share with another family friend, treat some work colleagues to a retreat. The home is perfectly set up for entertaining and chilling with wife and kids.

What makes this property unique

Food Fair is literally around the corner. A reasonably sized grocery store with most items one would find in the states plus some local baked items. The island has great internet service and the electricity is reliable unlike other islands. All the amenities of a decent size town but on a cay in the ocean with a population of just over 800. Quite impressive how well the island is maintained by the local government. The locals are welcoming, kind, accommodating, honest.
