About this property

Beachfront - Royal View Villa

Your dream vacation awaits you at Royal View. This cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental with open loft is located on Russell Island, Spanish Wells. Spanish Wells is an island community located in The Bahamas. It is very close to the much larger island of Eleuthera, and is about 48 miles from the country's capital city of Nassau. Our waters glisten from the bright, warm rays of the sun. These waters are crucial to the mainstay of the island, lobster fishing, but they are also one of the factors that lure visitors to our shore. Our mile long beach is just minutes away from the cottage and will seem like your own as it is never crowded, this is the perfect place for your vacation getaway.

The newly renovated beachfront house comes with a golf cart to get around town easily. This rental is equipped with smart TV and High Speed Internet. You can keep up to date with family and news from back home. Dine at one of the restaurants in Spanish Wells or be your own chef, with a full kitchen the choice is yours. You also have the convenience of a full laundry right in the cottage. Our back yard has the most amazing view from the deck overlooking Meeks Patch and Royal Island.

You may want to get in on a fishing excursion or a beaching experience where you can visit with the swimming pigs at one of our nearby islands which we will be glad to arrange for you. Also available are day trips to Harbour Island and Eleuthera. Boat rentals are also available and we recommend that you book these in advance. Kayaks and paddleboards come with this rental so you can kayak 5 minutes away to The Sandbar a tiki bar on the beach and have a refreshing cocktail or lunch, Spanish Wells is known as the fishing capital of the Bahamas. The fishing snorkeling and diving in the area is second to none. Spanish Wells is also considered one of the safest, cleanest, and most pristine areas of the Bahamas. The locals are very friendly people who take pride in their community, heritage and work.

Royal View is easy to get to with daily flights from Florida into North Eleuthera International Airport or Nassau International Airport, There is also a Bahamas Fast Ferry out of Nassau that comes into Spanish Wells daily weather permitted this service is not always reliable if they have a charter or if the weather is bad they will cancel without notice.

Beautiful views and wonderful hospitality!

The property was gorgeous! The views of the water from the home’s porch were fabulous! The home was clean and was well stocked with kitchen items, etc. Beds were very comfortable. The porch furniture could use some updating, but was still functional for its intended purpose and understanding how difficult it is to keep things looking “new” in the island elements. Jaime was a fantastic host who was always there when we needed her. Highly recommend an outing with Captain Shane! A terrific recommendation by Jaime that did not disappoint! A truly magical and memorable vacation!

Private Peaceful Paradise

Our family of 6 stayed 5 nights on this stunning property. The hosts make everything run smooth from start to finish. Their Seagillian Boat Charter is a must!!! Can’t wait to return.

Wonderful place to get away.

My family had a great time at Royal View. The home was as advertised. Being right on the water was a plus. We really enjoyed the paddleboards as it's always fun to try something new. The host had a taxi waiting for us at the airport and then she was waiting for us as we arrived via ferry to the island. Jamie showed us to our golf cart and then led us out to the house (approx. 15 minute golf cart drive). Jamie also helped us book an afternoon boat tour of the area (pigs, swing & snorkeling). We all agree the boat tour was the highlight of our trip. Would highly recommend Royal View.

What a lie! Not what we expected - Very outdated pictures

My family and I had a very poor experience renting this property. The pictures, shown on VRBO, are very outdated and don’t represent what you are truly paying for. In comparison to the other properties, on the island that rent for the same amount or less, this property was a complete rip off. To begin with, the deck nor anything on the deck has been maintained decently. The railing has loose parts that are dangerous for anyone that requires the rail to secure themselves before going up and down the stairs. The wooden top of the railing literally came off in my hand. Fortunately, I caught myself before falling back. The same thing happened to a good friend of ours that came over during our stay. The furniture on the deck is extremely rusted with broken legs and very weathered and torn up cushions on multiple chairs. Sadly, we were looking forward to spending a good deal of time out on the deck, enjoying the outdoor space with friends and family; however, this space could not be used safely during our stay. The owners did provide snorkeling gear for five along with 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards yet both of the kayaks and one of the paddle boards were broken and unable to be used. This was truly a big letdown as far as the outdoor amenities were concerned. Upon entering the house, we found that there was one less couch, than what the VRBO pictures show, we had a small refrigerator, that is meant for a camper, rather than the side-by-side refrigerator that was shown in the pictures and when I went to cook I didn’t have adequate cookware to handle the needs of four adults and an infant, when this property is supposed to be setup for 10 people. We didn’t even have the use of the microwave during our stay as there was no turntable and everything we tried to warm up would burn. What a joke! The refrigerator became a big issue, during our stay, as it was much smaller than the space where the double door refrigerator had been, leaving cords/cables exposed which our one and a half-year-old grandson continued to try and get. My husband tried communicating with the property owners. They responded quite rudely and blamed everything on island life and us not understanding. It was not a question of us not understanding nor island life. The pictures are misleading thus we didn’t receive what we paid for and the owners offered no resolve. We have never had such a horrible experience with renting through VRBO!
