About this property

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.

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!

Little piece of paradise
I can’t say enough great things about our stay! The owners and caretakers were amazing! They communicated with us from the minute we inquired about the property all the way through check out. They gave great recommendations of where to book golf carts, places to eat and things to do. They even helped coordinate our arrival with a taxi and ferry to and from the island, and when our flight home got cancelled they went above and beyond to accommodate us another night. We LOVED the house, the location and Spanish Wells. A little piece of me is still there and we will be coming back again!

Family Christmas Trip
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.

Amazing place!
We loved Rake n Scrape! Like others have mentioned, the house is not large, but it is thoughtfully laid out and very clean (bedding, towels, great mattresses, etc). We loved the reclaimed ship teak kitchen counter top and the old wood shutters. The location of the house is great - close to everything in town and yet beachfront. The water in front of the house is shallow and the sandbar (also directly in front of the house) was perfect for our 3 year old to walk with us and explore. On a very minor clarifier, the VRBO listing mentioned “cable tv / basic cable” which we assumed would be Cable Bahamas like we have had at other houses in Spanish Wells, but it was just a web enabled Visio tv with apps. We wanted to watch college football bowl games but had a hard time bc streaming apps wouldn’t let us watch network tv (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC due to Bahamas location / VPN didn’t solve it either). Overall, this was one of the best houses / vacations we have ever had! We will definitely return to this house again!!

About the host

Host profile image
We are Bahamians and love our island home. We love to share our island with people who appreciate the laid back lifestyle and natural beauty of the area.

Why they chose this property

Prime location on the beach and close to everything.
Looks and feels like an old beach bungalow, but with modern amenities.

What makes this property unique

The views! Unique position on the beach allows for spectacular views in both directions on the beach as well as the ocean. Watch cruise ships, yachts and other large ships pass in the ocean just beyond the reef or watch the sandbar emerge from the water at low tide. Sunsets are our favorite time on the deck, but morning coffee watching the sun rise over Eleuthera is pretty special too.
