Devon K. from Akron, OH United States not recommends this vacation rental.
This house is a great location - next to a small private beach where we saw starfish and rays every day. The house itself needs a lot of work and wasn't as clean as it could have been.
Manager Responded on 4/24/2024
We are glad you enjoyed the location, but so sorry you were disappointed with the condition of the house. The house is only a few years old, and we are not aware of any maintenance issues. If you had mentioned that it was not perfectly cleaned, or that there were maintenance issues, the homeowner, who lives right nearby and with whom you had regular contact during your stay, would have brought the housekeeper right back in or otherwise addressed the issues.

Very lovely home, spacious bedrooms, second floor balconies off both bedrooms. Nice patio off the main bedroom. However, there is really no beach just a cut out for boats. Very nice owner she went the extra mile to get us there.

Please see the many photos of our beach area, which is right off the property. We don’t advertise kayaks, because we don’t have any, but they are easy to rent.
Great house! Wonderful house manager!

From the moment we got there (and even the day before) the house manager was right on top of all of our needs. She picked us up at the dock and showed us around the island(s). Answered every question we had super fast. And this house was perfect! Beautiful property with a swing and the best view of the ocean in my opinion. Absolutely 100% recommend!
Highly recommend for a relaxing holiday

Thoroughly enjoyed the island and how peaceful it was. This rental was in the perfect location and nicely furnished. Each room had A/C splits and the home was close to everything on both islands. Would rent here again!

Kelly A. from Webster, MA US recommends this vacation rental.
We had 6 adults on our 9 day trip and absolutely loved this property. Each of the three bedrooms were spacious with such comfortable beds. Before arriving we assumed only the balcony on the front had a view but they both did. There was a constant breeze so we enjoyed being in the kitchen with the doors open, looking out at the indescribably blue water.
The steps to the beach walk you past gorgeous hibiscus, palms, bougainvillea, papaya and meninga trees. We enjoyed spotting all kinds of sea life right out front: conch, tropical fish, turtle, sting ray and starfish.
We experienced excellent customer service from booking, to meeting us at the ferry, during our stay until we left.
We had the best excursion we have ever taken with Captain Sheldon with Exotic Excursions. He runs a clean and comfortable boat that cuts the chop on a windy day, as a 23 year commercial lobster diver is more than experienced. And he also happens to be very pleasant and calm.
Papa's Scoops on 10th is great ice cream and super nice people, Ponderosa has unique art and gifts made only on the Bahamas. For restaurants, we enjoyed Sandbar, Eagle's Landing, Wreckers and Shipyard.
I would definitely recommend this property.

Mary K. from Sunnyside, NY US recommends this vacation rental.
Our stay on Spanish Wells was wonderful and our little house was perfect! We felt at home immediately. The place is so sweet and is practically brand new! Simple pretty decor with an open layout. Wonderful painted sea mural going up the stairs, bathrooms are clean and well designed. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our family while we were there. The gardens surrounding are beautiful and the water right down the road is exactly as pictured! Pristine:) It was so quiet and had fabulous sea breeze! We were visited every night by sting rays, turtles, a shark, and beautiful birds. Did have to go far to see amazing fish while snorkeling right off the beach. The flowers are amazing and the local goats are a hoot!! The air conditioner worked perfect and the place was spotlessly clean! The grill was a great bonus since we bought fish and lobster from the local fisherman. Washer and dryer are new and worked great since we didn’t pack heavy. We traveled with our two teenage sons and were very happy that it was so safe for them to go off and explore. The golf carts are fun to zip around in. Sunsets were breathtaking. We found many beautiful beaches and the people were so helpful and welcoming. The supermarket was stacked with everything you want. Lovely local items too! From homemade local guava jam and Johnny cakes to Irish butter and sausages! A few sweat spots for dining out with great views of the water and island. Delicious ice cream from poppa scoops. Easy access to Covid screening. Joanne is a star!! She helped us plan out our trip and took care of all the details! She Knows the ferry man, the taxi drivers and the best place to rent a car on the mainland. She knows Spanish Wells very well because she was raised there. Quick ferry ride to Eleuthra for daytime exploring was amazing! The owner lives right beside the cottage and was so welcoming and kind to us! Five stars!! We will def be back:)

Karen W. from Tega Cay, SC United States recommends this vacation rental.
First off, the property is in great shape and very well taken care of. The beds were super comfortable and the living quarters were ideal. The outdoor spaces were a delight. We used all of the house! Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. The laundry was great, especially the use of the clothes line outdoors.
If you stay here, you will absolutely love the beach area. We placed our chairs in the water and soaked up the sun and the views! If you’ve never seen the Bahamian waters you’re in for a treat! We loved seeing the turtles swim by daily. If you have little ones, you can be confident of the depth of the water.
Mrs. Duckworth lives next door and was super helpful and kind. We enjoyed our visits with her. Joanne, the care taker met all our needs, don’t hesitate to reach out to her for your taxi/ferry/golf cart rentals. She is just a text or phone call away. Email her prior to leaving your home, she will have worked her magic!
All in all, it’s a great place to stay, clean, cared for and safe!

Absolutely loved our stay at Duck Out. Joanne was so helpful the entire trip and the best host we have ever had. The property was beautiful and loved having our own beach to swim however none of the beaches were crowded. The house was clean and well decorated. We are already planning a return trip.
Excellent vacation property and superbly helpful Joanne!!

Duck Out was exactly what we were looking for... the space was very clean and bright, including all the kitchen and bath necessities for our stay. The outdoor patio areas were fantastic with a beautiful variety of trees, flowers and tropical landscaping.
Highly recommended!
