Beautiful cottage, impeccably clean, well appointed, with a beautiful view. Property manager was incredibly helpful, gave us a great tour of the islands, and was always available for any questions. Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful and relaxing stay.
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!
Perfect for couples or small families in each cottage. Owner's are fantastic and easy to communicate with and hospitable. The cottages are clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed.
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!
Everything we needed was there! The houses are so pretty, intimate and ocean front! The location is amazing! Paddle boards to get around in the ocean...where all the sea life shoes up! ( bring your water shoes :)
The host was always there when needed, would recommand 100%
Thanks again for sharing this piece of paradis!
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
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!
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.
They were super helpful! Had to book a few days earlier than expected and they accommodated us! Thank you! Place was beautiful and enjoyed kayaking off the shore. Property was clean and gorgeous! Would def recommend ☺️
This place is small but the space is utilized great and there is everything you would need. Nice spacious shower and new washer/dryer. Comfy beds and nicest host. We loved our stay!
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!
Best VRBO experience we've had yet. Christy is an amazing host, very responsive to any questions. She went above and beyond to help us out with anything we needed. Highly recommend!!
We loved our stay at the Anchors Away cottage. Christy was very responsive from start to finish! I was disappointed that this cottage does not have access to the beach on the property, but we loved having the golf cart to explore the island as well as the kayak at the town beach to use. We would highly recommend for any group looking for a relaxing vacation!
This place was amazing for my girlfriend and I for out short stay to Eleuthera. We loved the amenities, cleanliness, and location. The cottage was set up with everything we needed to have a fantastic couple of days. The owners met us at the ferry dock and gave us the golf cart and the check in was very easy. We liked how they had the place set up with all the cooking items we needed. I would recommend this cottage for a couple or even two couples.
We (3 adults) stayed at this amazing cottage for four days and three nights and loved every minute of it. The descriptions and pictures of the cottage were extremely accurate Christy and Shane were so helpful and even went to the grocery store for us since we were arriving on Sunday and knew the grocery store would be closed. This small act of thoughtful really made a difference and set the tone for the rest of our stay. While we were not right on the water, the views from the kitchen and back patio were spectacular. They also provided us with an option with a kayak at one of the beach locations that we took total advantage of while exploring the island.
The cottage is quiet, relaxing and was amazing. - a very easy 5 star recommendation for Sweeting Paradise!
Description was spot on and booking was simple. Christy responded immediately and continued to communicate in advance and during our stay - no question went unanswered. Shane greeted us and was the perfect host. The property is beautiful, well appointed and clean. The site is quiet and relaxing, with beach, fire pit, kayak and golf cart for exploring the island. I can easily give Sweeting’s Paradise a 5 star recommendation!
