Our first trip to Eleuthera - were happy with Russell Island location. Having the golf cart was very convenient. Christy couldn't have been nicer. Anchors Away was just as represented and we had a great time!

My family have been to the Bahamas many times but this was our first trip to Spanish Wells/ North Eleluthera. Christy was so helpful! Set everything up for our shuttle, ferry ride and had golf carts and a guide waiting for us when we arrived. The house & location were just perfect! SUPER comfortable beds. Christy was out of town during our stay and she STILL took care of everything including setting up a fabulous 1/2 day charter. I only wished we had a longer stay but we WILL be back!

Property was super clean and very easy to access. Communication with the host was excellent. We needed a short rental before moving to a different property and this fit the bill, but honestly we would have been perfectly fine staying at Anchor's Away for the full week. The golf cart was waiting for us right on the dock which made getting from the dock to Russell's Island simple. We used the kayaks and paddle boards while we were there as well. The "beach" on property was handy for relaxing but the access to the water is rocky so not ideal for swimming -- luckily its a short ride to SW with the most beautiful sandy beaches in the world. We would stay again!

New construction is a big + since we all like new things. This house is very convenient in every aspect. Location is amazing, snorkeling in the back of the house was something we all enjoyed. Christy is very caring and she help you in anyway possible. Dealing with Good people is very important. She is very professional and know how to take care of these properties.
- House is clean & comfortable
- Very well equipped and everything new
- The landscape and surrounding are gorgeous
- Must try. Highly recommended

Wow wow wow wow! I cannot say enough good things about anchors away !! This house was amazing to stay in for a whole week, Christy made the whole process so easy by scheduling a taxi & water taxi from the airport to Spanish wells! The house included paddle boards, a kayak, beach chairs & towels, and a golf cart! This was our first time visiting Spanish wells and it’s safe to say we will be back:)

Wonderful island, location and host! Beautiful peaceful spot with a water view and golf cart. VERY comfortable bed (we did not use the other). Island is wonderful and residents of the island are so friendly. I would highly recommend this rental spot!

I never write a review, however this location as well as home is review worthy. Steps away from the most beautiful crystal clear water with a immaculate charming cottage. The property was very quiet and private. Being able to take the cart into town but at the same time have privacy from being not in town was perfect. Christy and Shane very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Anchors Away!!! The cottage is so stinkin cute!!! We have been wanting to go to the Bahamas for a couple of years now but Covid put a big wrench in our plans! Spanish Wells and Russell Island met all our expectations and more! We usually go to all inclusive adult only resorts when it’s just the 2 of us, but we wanted to be adventurous! There is no where safer place than Spanish Wells! The locals are the most hospitable people… just 100% nice! We met some of the Sweeting family and they are just so friendly and welcoming! We loved our stay in this precious cottage that had everything you could possibly need!!! We will be coming back for sure❤️ Thank you Christy for helping and answering all our questions and being so helpful!! The gold cart was a huge bonus and that may have been one of my husbands favorite things about our trip!!!

We had a great stay here while we were on a work trip. The owners were absolutely fantastic, communicated well, and would bend over backwards for anything we needed including arranging transportation to and from the airport
Location is a cool area with great views, close to the sandbar restaurant where we spent most of our time for eating.
The property was perfect for my copilot and I. If we have another trip to the Bahamas we’ll definitely be staying at a sweetings property, cannot recommend them enough they were great!

This house was everything that was advertised and exceeded our expectations! Christy and her husband went above and beyond to assist us. That included storing our luggage on our last day when we had 4 hours to kill.
The house is well decorated and had everything we needed. The outside was amazing, as Christy had all sorts of yard decorations. There were coconuts painted as tropical fish hanging from trees that were very detailed, so much so we wanted to buy one! Everything looked so good we took a bunch of pictures! I would highly recommend Anchors Away for the house, as well as for the service that the Sweeting's provided! Thank you so much!
