About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Step from your porch onto the soft white sand & crystal clear water.

Rake n Scrape is a quaint bungalow on the beautiful two mile long beach of Spanish Wells. Evoking the feel of an old beach cottage but with modern amenities like air conditioning, TV and wifi. Enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour on your private deck overlooking the water, listening to the sound of the waves washing on the shore. You won't want to leave!
Many guests say they enjoy the enclosed outdoor shower so much they even used either of the indoor showers! The water is so clear with a soft, white sandy bottom that is perfect for swimming or using the included kayaks and paddle boards. In the heart of the quaint lobster fishing town of Spanish Wells, food and liquor stores are very walkable, but we recommend renting a buggy (golf cart) to explore the island and adjoining Russell Island. Lounge chairs, kayaks and paddle boards are included.

Clean and quaint accommodation in a wonderful location. It was wonderful to sit on the back deck right next to the beach. We used the paddleboards and kayaks every day. The hosts were friendly and very easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to return.

We went here for our 30th Wedding Anniversary, and loved everything about the home and the island. Everyone was so friendly and the island is not flooded with tourists. If you are looking for a relaxed trip, this is the island for you! I found the Spanish Wells forum on Facebook and joined, which allows you to see food being prepared by locals. My only suggestion is a true couch or love seat in the living room. The bench like seating was a little uncomfortable after several days.We have already talked about coming back in the future!!!Thank you for an awesome week!

This was my second time staying at this property- and it truly is amazing. Gorgeous views and just foot steps to the sand. This trip was my husband, 3 kids and myself- and the cottage was perfect. I can’t wait to return to SW, and this property.

Pure bliss

This is our second stay at Rake N Scrape, and we are already looking to plan our next vacation there. The house has everything you need, the beds are comfortable, and the beach is peaceful. The property manager, Vince, was so nice and met us at the docks, made sure we knew everything about the house, and brought us the most delicious mangoes. Spanish Wells is a beautiful island, and we look forward to visiting it again.

We loved this darling cottage. The location was perfect, just steps from the most calming bay. Inside, the beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the interesting and laidback decor.Vince and Lori were great. Vince met us at the water taxi dock to show us to the cottage and helped us work out a plan when our incoming flight got switched to a different airport. We wish we could have stayed longer.

A perfect vacation

Lori and Vince are the most wonderful hosts. Lori took care of all arrangements for transport to/from the airport as well as helping us with a golf cart rental on the island. The property was perfect for 2 couples. It has a nautical theme and is very comfortable. Lori and Vince made sure we knew how to get around, find stores and restaurants. Our stay at the beach and on the island was really good. We had personal attention and help when we needed it and felt very welcome.

Perfect beach cottage!

This cottage is absolutely perfect - decorated to feel beachy and fun and has all the essentials. The beach is literally in the front yard, and a sand bar provides the perfect protected beach. We walked the mile loop on the sand bar every day at low tide and at high tide. Vince is a terrific host and treated us to fresh coconuts from the property. The house is a short walk (or golf cart ride) from the islands restaurants and groceries. It's an ideal low-key beach vacation. We will definitely be back!
