Sandy Shoes was perfect for my husband and I. We loved the view from the patio and the beach area. The host answered all our questions and took care of our golf cart rental. She was professional, polite, and prompt.The house is perfect for couples or a family of four. It was very clean and neat. You will need water shoes as the entry into the sea is rocky, but that can clearly be seen in the photos which were very accurate. That is easily solved. I ordered a pair on Amazon for 7.Did not snorkel but it looked to be a nice spot for that and we saw several sea turtles swim by. We love Spanish Wells and will return.

I really can’t put into words how amazing this house was. The location is perfect - a short golf cart ride to everything, and the best snorkeling steps out your door. The house is perfect for a small family. Sunset views, sunrise views, crystal clear water, no waves, kayaks and SUPs, snorkeling gear… I could go on. Christy is what really sets this property apart from the rest. She helped arrange everything and answered all of our questions for the past 3 months as we planned for this trip. My daughters got to hold starfish right outside their back door, swam with sea turtles, and saw the most amazing sea life right behind the house. TyMan charters was also great to interact with sea turtles and do some snorkeling away from home. Peace and quiet abound - there isn’t a lot of “excitement” on the island. The restaurants were very good (The Vault and Shipyard were our personal favorites) and Papa’s Scoops is a must. We loved just cruising around on the golf cart exploring the island. The Swings over th water are a 4-minute golf cart ride away, and that beach is also very nice. We saw a little reef shark and a barracuda there. There is literally nothing bad to say about this place. It is exactly as Christy describes it and the pictures show, and we will happily be back some day.

This was our third year staying here. We love Christy and her husband. They live on the island so if anything comes up they're right there. I love the spot because you see more marine life vs the beach. Water shoes is a must. But if you want beach just hop on the golf cart, go down the road. You can see it from the house. Beautiful house. I don't think we ever turned the TV on cause your outside the whole time. But Christy is fabulous. Schedules the taxi ferry and golf cart. Cause thats all you need is a golf cart to get around. Very safe island! We're just trying to get to where we can come twice a year. Lol!

A Piece of Paradise

Everything about our trip was amazing! Christy and Shane were so helpful and always responded within minutes to any questions we had. The property was perfect, and very well appointed. The beach and access to the water was even better than advertised. The location of the property felt so private but was also just a quick golf cart ride away from the restaurants and stores. We will absolutely be coming back to the island again and would love to stay at one of Christy and Shane's amazing properties!

We had the chance to spend a long weekend with our teenage daughters, and this home was perfect! The host is magnificent and super accommodating. The house itself was in immaculate condition, had all the things we could’ve needed, and was located in a beautiful area. We would love to come back as soon as possible.

The best vacation home and hosts you could ask for!

Christy and Shane were so great, anything we asked for if they couldn’t provide it, they found someone who could. They wene far and away the best hosts we have encountered, I cannot day enough great things about them. Beautiful island with the friendliest people! The house is just as advertised, so charming, clean and modern! We could not have found a more perfect location for us. There are steps leading right into the ocean from your own private beach. We cannot wait to visit again.

Christy , Was the perfect host!. From arranging our cab and meeting us at the docks. She also showed us around the island which is beautiful. The only thing we thought there was a beach that you could walk on from the house. But with the golf cart you could be at a beach in 5min or less.

Paradise under the stars

We stayed here over Christmas with 2 teenage daughters and had a great and relaxing 6 day stay. I have never had a host as attentive and helpful as Christy. They made sure that we were met at the airport and shuttled all the way to the island, and gave us a quick tour of the island. The cottage was perfect and so relaxing. I have never seen so many stars at night as we did on this island. We even slept out under the stars on Christmas night. It was surreal. I have stayed at many rentals, but Sandy Shoes stands out and I would recommend it to anyone. (Also the starfish and snorkeling right off the shore was great..just wear water shoes).

Sandy Shoes is Shangri La!

Sandy Shoes wraps you in it’s charm the minute you walk inside. The view is spectacular, and everything you need is at your fingertips. If not, Christy, like a “Genie”, will have it on your doorstep. Shane and his brother , Shannon make a boat excursion on Seagillian interesting and fun, and wizzing around on your own golf cart is awesome. Don’t hesitate Go!

Spanish Wells Heaven

The rental property was wonderful. The water was beautiful. We rented from Christy a d Shane and also did an excursion thru them which was the highlight of the trip. Loved they had transportation for us already. And they made travel arrangements to get to the island. The house had everything we needed and even had kayaks and paddleboards which were fun as well. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. We got fresh fish and cooked ourselves one night but also ate at many of the restaurants. Definately would recommend anyone to book this stay. 5+ stars for sure!

Great place, amazing hosts, we will be back

The place was clean and included all of the amenities needed. The hosts were wonderful, picking us up at the ferry and leading us to the rental. The unit came with a golf cart which was great, and one less thing for us to deal with. Owners had a pack-and-play for us. They had kayaks, paddle boards, and beach furniture. While its not in the heart of Spanish Wells, its a small area and really easy to get around with the golf cart. We grilled lobster on the beach with the neighbors, and sat around a bonfire after the sun went down. In short, it was everything you hope a rental will be when you book. 5 out of 5

We found our Paradise!

AMAZING! Finding it hard to find all the right words to fully describe our stay at Sandy Shoes. It was our first vacation in 5 years and it did not disappoint! We wanted a place to relax, rewind and reset and that’s exactly what we got! Christy and Shane have gone above and beyond to make Sandy Shoes a true sanctuary! From help with transportation to and from the airport to a tour around the island to point out restaurants, grocery, gas station etc...we were definitely made to feel welcome! The locals were all so kind and friendly...the scenery was surreal...the peace, quiet and laid back atmosphere was just what we were seeking. Thank you, Christy & Shane for making our vacation one to remember! We WILL be back!
