We had the most amazing stay in Spanish Wells at Green Turtle Cottage. The home is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. They had SO many extras and amenities available like floats, beach lounge chairs, umbrella, etc. The owners, Jody and Tara have put so much thought into how the property as a whole I laid out and kept pristine! We loved our stay and will definitely be back soon!
My family stayed in this lovely bungalow steps from one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever visited. All our needs for a relaxing family trip were met - bicycles, a golf cart, kayaks, beach loungers and chairs, and beach towels. On the beach, we watched sea turtles, rays and fish. And we spent a wonderful half-day on the ocean with Captain Kid Charters - pigs, turtles, rays, reefs and a shipwreck. We have no reservation staying in this home on the next trip to Spanish Wells.
We so enjoyed our trip to Spanish Wells!The Gene Turtle Cottage was just the place to relax and enjoy the beach and sun !It was nice to have the golf cart that came with the cottage.Jody was a great host ! I wish we had more time to talk with him to learn more about the island ! We did two of his tours with Ivan and had a blast Ivan is a great Captain!!We will be back for sure !
Loved the property. Loved the location. Owners alway responded quickly when I had questions. The golf cart provided by the owners was great too! Would and will stay there again.
Came here as a family. It was the perfect location, clean property, wonderful property managers. Close to the beach and access to chairs and shade on the beach. Close to grocery stores and delicious food. Highly recommend.
The house worked really well for our group. We were a group of 6; two parents with adult children and their friends. The proximity to the beach is awesome, and the beach itself is wonderful. We cooked most of our meals at home, and the house is stocked with most of what is needed to cook. Beds are comfortable. It was great to have two bedrooms with king beds! House was clean, and it was great to have the outdoor seating area and outdoor shower. We loved our trip!
Access to the most beautiful beaches in the world. Hosts are attentive to every detail. Hosts willing to work with you last minute on changing plans and special arrangements. Far above expectations. Loved every minute of our stay.
Beautiful place but very poor hosting.From the time we landed on the island we were not made to feel welcome.Everything is extraâŠ. No toilet paper, no soap, no shampoo, no drinkable water, no trash bags, etc. Bring everything because unless the previous guest left something behind you will have to go and purchase. Also they charge to pick you up and it is more then if you use another service.Although they charge a very hefty cleaning fee they expect you do most of the cleaning and make sure you are done and gone by 10am and they come and make sure you are gone.But the worst is there are cameras spying on you all over the property.
Jody and Tara are great hosts. This was our second time back and everything was great yet again! They are timely with responses and helpful. We would definitely recommend any of their rentals. We canât wait to visit again!! :)
The house is newer and well maintained. It has everything you need but food to get you started. The Pinders are very helpful and accommodating. The location is perfect and is a short walk to a quiet beach. There is a floating dock in the water that is the perfect place for your beverages as you soak in the crystal clear water. We will be back.
Me and my family rented the Green turtle for a week in April. The house was beyond expectations and had plenty of room for the 7 of us. Was very surprised on how big the house was on the inside. It was very clean and modern. The property was well kept and just a short walk to the beach. The free golf cart was an added bonus and was brand new. Definitely will rent again and would recommend to anyone!
The owners of green turtle cottage were great! Everything in the house was clean and in good working order. We are looking forward to renting the green turtle cottage again the next time we visit Spanish Wells.
We had an amazing vacay!! The Green Turtle Beach House was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Bonus: our own private beach access that included towels, chairs, shade, umbrellas, AND a kayak, a golf cart and bicycles!!! Wonderful and amazing!
The green turtle was fantastic! Its location is perfect and the island is just beautiful. We loved the outside shower and Jody and Tara were great to deal with, answering all my questions before we even arrived. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again. I hope we can make it back to Spanish Wells sooner than later!
This spotless new property is amazing. A few steps to the beach, cozy but spacious, and beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. We loved staying here and will be looking to book here again. Jody and Tara are wonderful and super helpful. I didnât want to leave!
We truly enjoyed our visit, the home was clean and fully stocked with extras. Our commutations with the Pinderâs could and should have been better and for that, I apologize. Thank you for your patience.
Carlos and Karen
This place was amazing. Let alone that it was on a gorgeous island with very friendly community, but it was a very short walk to the beach. We had an amazing week there. The hosts were very responsive and even checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves or needed anything. They provided multiple options for groceries, meals, places to visit, rentals, and such. We cannot express just how much we enjoyed our visit and how amazing everyone was.
We canât say enough good things about the accommodations, location and the owners Jody and Tara. They go out of their way to welcome you and make you feel right at home. Their properties are beautifully decorated and kept in pristine condition. We love Spanish Wells and will return. Fantastic experience and would highly recommend this property or any that Jody and Tara own. Go to their paradise and enjoy!! Thanks for all you did this week and we hope to see you next year upon our return!
Jodie and Kara Pinder were excellent hosts! They both met us at the dock the day we arrived, showed us around town and then gave us a run down of the rental home we were staying. The house was just as it looked online, brand new and VERY clean!! The beach was just a short walk down a nice pathway and it was a beautiful secluded beach! The restaurants on the island were all really good. It was a really peaceful and relaxing time right before we got back to the US and COVID-19 took over:(!
We had the most wonderful time! Spanish Wells was more wonderful then what we had even read and heard about! What a sweet community of people. It was super relaxing and so much fun for my fam. We loved staying at the Green Turtle. It was super nice, very up to date, and had all things that we needed. The owners are wonderful people that went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed and were comfortable. They also offer excursions that I highly recommend (the highlight of our trip). This is not a island to come to if you want night life or shopping BUT if youâre looking for a safe, family oriented, relaxing vacation, itâs for you! We are so thankful for our time there!
