"Room was very clean and well supplied. Love having the marina there and restaurant. Food was yummy. Service a little slow for the amount of guests there. I thought the pool area could be a little more maintained as far as swept and free of debris. Overall we will be back!!"

Very responsive communication after booking and before arrival . Would definitely stay there again."

"We really enjoyed our stay. The location was awesome, right off the dock. I prefer to be downtown with walkable access to restaurants and shopping. It was also easy to receive and park our golf cart. The staff was very understanding about my work schedule and the food was great. A few more towel bars and places to hang wet things in the bathroom wouldn't go amiss but we would absolutely stay there again."

"The ocean water was incredible at Tranquiville! You can walk out into the 3-4 feet crystal clear water and it has the softest sand on the ocean floor... no rocks! We stayed out there most of the time! The main house and the casita have everything you could want or need... lots of room, cold AC, plentiful stock, and decorated well. The host are amazing as they greeted us and answered all calls immediately. We just had the most amazing time at Tranquilville! We will be back!"

"Steps Away" 3-bedroom with free 6 seater golf cart, Kayak & Paddle board.

8/10 Good
"I recommend giving more info to the client sooner than 72 hours prior to arrival; or let clients know early on that they will get info 72 hours prior. Communications could be improved.Provide clients with transportation cost info and tipping info regarding getting from airport to the ferry and the ferry itself to the dock. The process for us was very confusing and Pinders didn't offer much clarity.The Steps Away house was very nice and well maintained and clean. Loved it.Once at the rental house all was quite nice. Oh, operating the TV was the pits - some instructions would help.Our cart was a bit of a concern, but was quickly repaired and no problems occurred.All in all, a good time was had by all, and the Steps Away is a great place."

"10/10 and then some! Joanne greeted us when we got off the ferry. On the way to the house, she showed us places in town. And then we arrived at paradise! The house was everything as listed. There was any and everything that you might need, well stocked kitchen. Beach just a few steps out the back door. If you needed beach chairs, beach toys, cooler for the beach…it was here. Very cute beach theme for the house. Easy to get to grocery store, restaurants. Already looking to see when we can come back. I just hope everyone doesn’t find this hidden treasure."

Sandy Shoes, Russell Island , Bahamas

Sandy Shoes, Russell Island , Bahamas

10/10 Excellent
"Sandy Shores is the perfect quaint place to stay especially if you want a peaceful place and surroundings! The home is very clean and amenities provided were more than adequate. Christy, the host, is readily available and extremely helpful. She handles everything to get you to Sandy Shores and shows you around Russell Island to get you started. You can go to the beach or get into the water at Sandy Shores; everything is provided to get in the water and have fun! Or, you can sit on the back deck or go and sit under the provided perfect shady tiki tree and enjoy the calming sound of the blue water as you watch the sunrise or sunset. A grill to cookout is also available. Several restaurants are close by if you don't want to cook. We enjoyed Russell Island tremendously but the best part of our stay was staying at Sandy Shores with Christy as our host. We definitely plan to return to Sandy Shores!"
