The house was very clean. Can use some update to the kitchen & bathroon. There is no actual beach, but we were aware of this after discussing with our host Alicia. The view from the back patio was beautiful - exactly as the picture shows. We had a couple of issues upon arrival, but Jessica, the property manager was very helpful and responded immediately. We enjoyed our stay at Sand Star.

Great Trip!

Perfect place for a secluded, romantic getaway! My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and had a wonderful, relaxing time! Hanging out in the yard/porch and staring out into the ocean was just what we needed! Be sure to check out Sandbar across the street! It’s a great little place on the water!

Alicia & Jessica were both very helpful upon our arrival. They helped with booking a taxi, ferry & golf cart. We had some internet issues the first night; however Jessica was over the top helpful in helping us get it working. The house was clean and the view was amazing. The sound of the water was music to our ears. We had to leave two days early due to their not being a plane ride from North Elurerthra back to Nassau. The beach was rockier that we thought it would be; therefore, we went to the beach in town everyday we were there. The people of Spanish Wells were amazing! Everyone was so helpful and nice. The fireworks for Christmas and New Years were out of this world. The area the house was in was very quiet and easy to relax. Thank you for a great stay!

Great Getaway

We had a great relaxing 10 day stay. Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere of this home and the islands. Originally booked for 7 days and extended our stay to 10 as we found it hard to leave this paradise. Alicia was very responsive and great to work with.

Beautiful and Peaceful

Comfortable house with great porch view of the ocean. Alicia was most informative and responsive to questions, and helped make our arrival and stay smooth and comfortable. A suggestion: having a standing fan on the back porch would greatly help on hot days with no wind to not only stay cool but also blow the obnoxious flies away.

Short Stay

Small, very basic. We arrived a bit early and Property was not ready for us - eventually manager came to make beds and tidy up after check-in time. There is no beach but nice views. Furnishings and fixtures are pretty dated and cottage could use a little TLC. Overall fine but we will not likely choose this property again.
