By the Seashore est entièrement équipé, charmant et relaxant, et fait une maison idéale loin de chez eux. L'utilisation gratuite d'un bateau à moteur Carolina Skiff de 16 pieds, d'une voiturette de golf pour 4 passagers, d'un kayak de mer pour 2 personnes, d'une planche à pagaie et de vélos est offerte; ils sont une merveilleuse façon d'explorer les environs. (Sinon, les bateaux à moteur, les vélos, les planches à pagaie et les kayaks sont chers à louer séparément.) Le bateau est idéal pour la pêche et la plongée en apnée, et de nombreux clients visitent leur «propre» nouvelle île privée isolée à proximité chaque jour!
'By the Seashore' a été construit en 1930 et a été la première pension de famille où les visiteurs de l'île de Spanish Wells pouvaient louer une chambre. (Si seulement ces murs pouvaient parler - je parie qu'ils nous raconteraient beaucoup d'histoires intéressantes!) Cette maison a récemment été restaurée avec amour depuis le toit et les charmants pignons et volets jusqu'aux magnifiques planchers de bois franc d'origine Abaco Pine.
By the Seashore a été le premier bâtiment sur cette propriété au bord de l'eau à Spanish Wells. Il est situé sur le point le plus élevé de l'île et offre une vue imprenable sur l'eau - sur l'océan, le port et la baie - depuis toutes les chambres de ce charmant cottage historique. Depuis le pont supérieur, on a des vues spectaculaires sur le coucher du soleil et des vues sur Harbour Island, Ridley's Head, Meeks Patch, Royal Island, Russell Island et le port avec tous les bateaux qui passent. Le chalet est construit pour profiter des brises constantes de l'océan, peu importe la direction dans laquelle elles peuvent souffler. (Plus tard, le propriétaire d'origine a également ajouté une maison d'hôtes et un garage à cette grande propriété au bord de l'eau.)
Au cours des dernières années, un grand quai avec deux grandes stations de nettoyage des poissons et des aquariums vivants a été ajouté à cette propriété. Les clients de By the Seashore peuvent utiliser gratuitement une voiturette de golf pour 4 passagers, des vélos et un bateau à moteur Carolina Skiff de 16 pieds, un paddleboard et un kayak de mer situés juste en dessous du chalet sur le quai.
Le magnifique jardin du By the Seashore propose des plantes tropicales dans un arc-en-ciel de couleurs et une variété d'arbres fruitiers tropicaux. By the Seashore est situé au milieu du village sûr, historique et familial d'Espagnol Wells Eleuthera Bahamas et est entouré de boutiques pittoresques, de restaurants, de boulangeries maison, etc. Un chemin droit de By the Seashore au nord emmènera les clients sur une courte promenade vers une plage de sable rose clair intacte et peu fréquentée.
Le rez-de-chaussée de By the Seashore offre un grand salon, une cuisine entièrement équipée avec coin repas, une chambre king, une chambre queen, une salle de bain complète, une buanderie, un porche couvert offrant de magnifiques levers de soleil sur l'océan chaque matin, et un porche arrière couvert. Les porches couverts sont d'excellents endroits pour se détendre à la fin de la journée et saluer les passants dont beaucoup s'arrêteront pour discuter amicalement. Le porche arrière offre un espace pour les repas en plein air et les grillades au barbecue.
Le dernier étage de By the Seashore propose une grande chambre avec deux lits queen, une chambre en mezzanine ouverte avec un lit queen, une salle de bain complète et une grande terrasse avec une vue imprenable sur les couchers de soleil fantastiques sur les îles environnantes où les clients peuvent lire un livre, bronzage, ou tout simplement se détendre.
Étant donné que By the Seashore est situé au sommet d'une colline en pente douce, il y a rarement une journée sans brise douce, ce qui signifie que le chalet est très confortable la plupart des jours de l'année avec des invités profitant des fenêtres ouvertes, des ventilateurs à aubes et de l'air frais . (Il y a aussi la climatisation offerte pour les clients qui doivent se faire plaisir. La climatisation n'est généralement pas requise à cet endroit d'octobre à juin inclus. )

If you're looking for a quaint house with island charm and killer views then you've found the right spot! Ahhh, island life, getting around by golf cart, friendly people and pristine beaches! And the hosts...sone of the most amiable and easy to reach people ever! My family of 4 had a great time and while there were a few little issues, all it took was a phone call to fix. Lorraine, Kalina and Brent were easily reachable, even on Christmas and made our holiday trip feel more like staying with friends. If we are blessed enough to return to Spanish Wells, renting from them would be my first choice!

With so many details from the taxi and ferry to the golf cart rental Kalina made sure everything went smoothly for us.

Amazing!
This was my first trip to Spanish Wells and I must say this was truly amazing. By the Seashore was very comfortable and clean. Golf carts where provided as well as bikes and anything else we could ask for. Onsite laundry was great, as well as wifi for those who need to check in with work which was very dependable. There was a group of 8 of us and we managed to fit in this property just fine. The island itself is fantastic. The people are very friendly, we took an excursion one day from Captain Scuba (recommended local fisherman) and has a blast exploring nearby sites and we also bought some locally caught seafood which was fantastic.

Beautiful old home, fun amenities
Beautiful old home on a hill, Loved walking to the little beach past the cemetery. We used the SUP board, the Kayak and the little outboard boat and enjoyed them all. The Beauregards were very hospitable, loved the golf carts we rented and the mangoes they brought. The home was cute and cozy. The flies got bad on one occasion but we were able to buy product to get rid of them. Also the room at the top of the stairs by the cute upper balcony door was too warm to sleep in but the attic room with 2 full beds was perfectly cool for the kids. We enjoyed having coffee on the front porch in the morning, watching the amazing stars from the balcony and cooking for the family in the kitchen. Also used the grille and the garden area and liked having the laundry room-extra porch to hang our swim gear. The island of Spanish wells was like home for a week and we would Highly recommend staying at By The Seashore, Thank you!

This was our 2nd trip and we stayed at the same house "By the Seashore". We picked this house because we've looked and looked at other places and always find that you win some you lose some. By the Seashore has it all! The house is huge and it came with a boat and golf cart. The boat allows us to go and explore other islands near by and find our own snorkeling spots. We also love it because it's 2 story and it sits on top of a hill and it has a huge balcony on both top and bottom. It's a great place to catch some cool tropical breeze even when it's warm out. Also the boat parked only a few feet away at a dock where you can use to clean your catch of the day. We will be back on our 3rd trip to the same house real soon and I can't wait!!! It's home to us now!!! Thanks Lorraine and we'll see u soon!!! Rick and Van Lusk

We are happy to have you as our guests at By the Seashore. We are delighted that you found that By the Seashore had it all. The house is the first guest house on the island of Spanish Wells, so, it is quite spacious. Our guests do enjoy the extras such as the motor boat, kayak, paddle board, dock with the aquariums, and golf cart. Indeed, By the Seashore offers the best views of both the ocean and the harbor, and there always seems to be a sea breeze blowing through the house. We are looking forward to your third visit later this month! See you soon! Lorraine, Capt. Smiley, and Capt. Scuba.

Great location with a rustic charm
My father and I stayed here for a fishing trip. We primarily chose this property because of the small boat that it came included with. We were on a fishing trip, and the boat opened so many more areas compared to a Kayak.
Kalina was a wonderful help from day one... things can be a little..... relaxed in the Bahamas when it comes to being organized, but she was world class, which helped calm any worries. She even potentially saved our lives when we misjudged the amount of fuel left in the boat and were stranded. She called around and arranged for someone to come help us.
The location is perfect!
They also have a backup emergency water supply, which unfortunately we had to use multiple days during our trip.
My only nitpick would be that the AC units are the type that hang out of the window, and as a result, I suspect that bugs and flies can get into the house easier. We had multiple insects and mosquitos regularly coming into the house, and though I'm aware a modern AC setup is expensive, I think it would be a wise investment. I also would add a door for the area between the kitchen and the outdoor area, as an extra level of protection.
Anyway, overall, we had a wonderful time, and would definitely recommend it.

Touch of Paradise!
Kenny Chesney summed it up best...one by one we slide from reality with nowhere to go and nowhere to be...
My Husband and I visited Spanish Wells for 11 days on our honeymoon and loved every moment. We would hop on the golf cart and explore this fantastic little island then head to the beach to soak up some sun. Most days, we were the only people on the beach and I never saw more than 6 or 8 at one time.
We did bring snack food from home and picked up meats, veggies and toiletries from the Food Fair. We ate most breakfast and lunch at the villa and grilled out a few nights but typically went out for drinks and dinner. Most of the restaurants and stores accept credit/debit cards but the international fees will add up quickly so bring cash.
The Shipyard had one of our favorite foods with the sticky conch and fish tacos and the Sandbar on Russell Island had amazing tuna poke wonton nachos. Take a look at both of their face book pages for weekend menu specials. The Sandbar also has live music on Sunday from 2-4 and the location is perfect! Wreckers on 15th Ave has happy hour from 4-6 and the food was decent but the staff was more than friendly and they are located at the yacht club. On Friday nights, Budda's snack shack on 12th Ave has karaoke around 9 and a green rum punch that was quite tasty! The kitchen is in a bus and they have a spirits store on site.
Every evening we rode to the west end beach to see the most beautiful sunsets, you do not want to miss these!
We look forward to the next time we can go and hopefully stay even longer. I highly recommend visiting this touch of paradise, you will not want to leave!

My new favorite vacation spot
We had a great vacation in Spanish Wells. The house was a good fit for our group of eight. Great location, clean, comfortable beds with everything we needed for the week. It was so nice to be able to leave the windows open and get breezes through the whole house. We also took advantage of the grill to cook all the fresh fish we caught. Running around on the bikes, golf carts and boat were such a nice change from our usual automobile filled lives! We're looking forward to coming back some day.

It is, indeed, a prime location on top of the hill where you can enjoy fabulous views and gentle breezes throughout the cottage.

Love Spanish Wells
This was the first trip to the Bahamas for our family and it hopefully will not be our last. We really enjoyed our stay at By the Seashore and had an incredible time on the island. The house itself is a really cool historic structure. It is clean and well maintained and has all the basics that you'll need for your stay. The included golf cart is a huge plus as were the boat, kayak, and paddle board. We put them all to good use. We took the boat to Pierre Rock and a couple other small islands and had a great time snorkeling and exploring. We took the golf cart everywhere. The beach is incredible. Just as the other reviews have mentioned there are no crowds. And the water color and water temperature are breathtaking. We did hire a local captain for a day and went a little farther out for some reef snorkeling and spear fishing and exploring. Definitely a day we'll never forget. The whole stay on the island was one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever been on. We would love to go back. The only suggestion for an improvement we could see for By the Seashore would be access to some beach chairs.
A couple pointers for anyone making a trip to this island... If you plan to snorkel pack in your gear. We were able to get this done in our carry on's and it worked out great. Prices for groceries and gas are higher on the island. The tap water is a bit salty buy bottled water. This is not a resort island, it's not all inclusive, there are no large crowds or rowdy night life...and that (in our opinion) is one of the things that makes it so great.

Happy to hear that you loved your stay with us. By the Seashore is a charming historic home, and the location on the island is perfect. We are delighted you found that By the Seashore was clean, well maintained, and equipped with everything you needed for your stay. Yes, indeed, your family was using the golf cart, and having fun with the boat, kayak and paddle board often. The beautiful secluded beach is just a minute golf cart ride down the hill from By the Seashore, and the crystal clear ocean is so inviting. Reef snorkeling and spearfishing with your own private captain makes for an amazing day away. Our guests have access to PVC outdoor chairs, which many guests do take to the beach. (The little aluminum beach chairs only last for a week or two next to the salt water.) It was our pleasure to have you as our guests and we look forward to your return trip. Lorraine, Captain Smiley & Captain Scuba.

Spanish Wells
We had the best vacation ever! By the Seashore home coudldn't be more perfect. I can't believe it came with the boat.! We got to take it out and explored other islands near by. The boat was a must have and renting it could be so expensive. It's definintely the biggest selling point. Also, we cant believe a place like The Spanish Wells existed. Beside all the beautiful sceneries, theres just something about the island town that had brought us back to our childhood again. The simpleness and the way all the locals treated us is sureal. We did not at all felt like tourists. Everyone we've met or just passing by treated us like family. Can't get that here in the states anymore. The best part also was there's no big name resort hotels and places that make you feel like you're in a tourist trap. We can get evrything we need here. Nothing more, and nothing less. I sure hope it stays exactly the way it is. We are planning to come back as soon as possible but not soon enought. I'm sure the rest of the world have more great places too, but the Spanish Wells are like home for us now. We will cherish every moment of it close to our hearts until we return. Thanks again Lorraine for hooking us up! Please don't let the Spanish Wells change a thing.
Love and missed everyone already!

Spanish Wells Vacation
By The Seashore was one of the most relaxing vacation homes we have spent time in. Stunning views, night stars, comforts of home, centrally located. What a great vacation, wish it was longer! We cannot say enough about the wonderful people of Spanish Wells, they made our visit so special with kindness and courtesy. Where else in the world can you leave doors unlocked, your purse sitting on the beach, your bike parked on the roadside, and when you return everything is untouched? This is just part of what makes Spanish Wells so unique and beautiful. Did we mention the STUNNING beaches? Water color that will take your breath away? Spanish Wells has it over the top.

Bahamas Anniversary Trip
Spent two fantastic weeks in Spanish Wells Mar 20-April 4, 2015 celebrating our 30th. Can say enough about the Island and our accommodations at By the Sea Shore. The Beach House is in an excellent location providing quick easy access to the beach and the harbour as well as they various shops restaurants on the Island. The property is beautifully landscaped with many flowering shrubs and gardens. The interior is very well maintained and quite spacious with 4 bedrooms and 3 decks. there was only the two of us, but this rental would be excellent for larger groups. The sunset view off the upper deck is unbelievable. Getting around the Island is quite easy on foot, or using the bicycles and golf cart that comes with this rental, We used the boat included in the pkg, every day fishing, snorkeling and exploring the mangrove area. Awesome inshore/flats fishing: bones, cudas, snapper, grouper & tarpon. You may want to upgrade to one of the bigger boats Lorraine has to offer if you want to go to other Islands or the reef. If you are looking for a relaxing DYI vacation this is the place! Lorraine is an excellent host and was extremely helpful in assisting us with travel to & from Nassau. Site seers can also go to Eleuthera /Governors Harbour for a day trip. We are already planning a return trip with friends!

Thanks for spending your 30th anniversary vacation with us. It was our pleasure to meet both of you and I'm happy you enjoyed your stay. By the Seashore is centrally located and close to all amenities and conveniences. The bougainvillea in the garden puts on a fantastic show in all the colors of the rainbow. The upper deck offers 360 degree views and fantastic sunsets - a pleasant way to relax at the end of a fabulous day. You two certainly made good use of the boat; it seemed you were in it every day and all day! :) We look forward to having you stay with us again soon. Warm smiles :) Lorraine, Captain Smiley, and Captain Scuba.

Awesome Family Spring Break!
We just wanted to thank our wonderful hosts for a great week at By the Seashore! This is the first time that we have been to Spanish Wells. We have stayed on many islands in The Bahamas before including nearby mainland Eleuthera. This was the best yet. We feel that we should have found Spanish Wells sooner. By the Seashore is a very charming colorful island cottage with lots of character. When we first arrived, we first saw all the many bright colors of bougainvillea in full bloom all around the garden as well as large papaya trees full of fruit! BEAUTIFUL! We followed Capt. Smiley into the cottage, and noticed that all doors and were unlocked and open. We found it refreshingly odd that he didn't need to use any keys to let us inside the cottage! How many places in the world do people still leave all doors and windows open? The cottage is very well equipped, there are amazing water views from just about every door and window, and the sea breezes just flow through. The front porch has nice ocean views, the back porch has views down to the dock and harbour, and the top deck offers amazing 360 degree views all around the island, harbour, ocean and bay! The boat that is offered free of charge with the rental of this cottage is a huge plus for our family. The least expensive boat rental on the islands is $100/day! My husband likes to fly fish. He wasn't disappointed and caught many bonefish on this vacation. He would take the boat out early and by mid-morning the kids and I were ready to join him. We visited beautiful deserted beaches, coves, islands, and reefs by boat. The snorkeling is fantastic in this area. When feeling energetic, we cycled around Spanish Wells and Russell Island with the bicycles provided, or would take the ocean kayak out for a paddle. We could have walked or cycled to stores and restaurants, but we decided to rent a golf cart to zip around (especially when were feeling lazy --- we are on vacation after all.) Lorraine had golf cart rentals available nearby at the best prices in town. The Spanish Wells locals are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the many restaurants of Spanish Wells and Papa Scoops for fresh homemade ice cream each evening. The grocery store is Spanishis the largest that we have seen in any of the out islands that we have visited in The Bahamas with pretty good prices for The Bahamas. We have already reserved two weeks at By the Seashore for our summer vacation, so, yes, we will be back!

We really enjoyed having your family stay with us. I'm so happy that you enjoyed yourselves. Yes, By the Seashore has a charming historic cottage with a beautiful garden of hibiscus, bougainvillea, coconut trees, and papaya trees. Yes, persons do live in this area without locking doors or windows. The views and sea breezes are wonderful in this location. Your hubby was very proud of all the large bonefish he caught. You have to be a good and patient fisherman to catch those bonefish. Yes, it is nice to have a boat so you can visit uninhabited islands, cays, and beaches. It is also nice to get out to the barrier reef for snorkeling. Yep, you are not the only ones that have gotten lazy while on vacation. Many persons do end up renting a golf cart. Spanish Wells has a number of different restaurants, and Papa Scoops is loved by all. We look forward to welcoming you back for your summer vacation! See you soon :) Lorraine, Scuba, and Smiley..... :)

Brian aka Capt. Scuba is a licensed boat captain and works full time as a lobster diver. When not diving commercially for lobsters, he is a local fishing & snorkeling guide, and also offers area tours and cave exploring. (Some have called him the Crocodile Dundee of North Eleuthera.) Brent aka Capt. Smiley is also a licensed boat captain who also offers fishing and snorkeling trips, boat rentals, and golf cart rentals. He is also a local rental property manager. Lorraine is the local Spanish Wells realtor. She opened the first real estate office, Spanish Wells Realty, in Spanish Wells in 1994. Other agents and real estate franchises have come and gone, but Lorraine has been in Spanish Wells serving the needs of her real estate clients for more than 24 years, and she will be pleased to show you all the best local real estate deals (her listings or other agents' listings) when you are in town. Just give her a call if you would like any information on the local real estate market or a free real estate tour.
Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
This special historic property is really one-of-a-kind. It was built on the highest point of the island (which isn't very high,since Spanish Wells is a low lying island, but it is high enough to offer wonderful 360 degree views). This home was built in 1930 and was the first place that visitors to the island of Spanish Wells could stay. It is quaint, charming, and full of character.
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
By the Seashore offers outstanding 360 degree ocean, bay, and harbour views along with views of Harbour Island, Russell Island, Royal Island, Meek's Patch, Charles Island, Ridley's Head, North Eleuthera, and more. This rental is most unique in that it also offers a motorboat, ocean kayak, and dock right in front. It is an easy stroll from an amazing secluded beach and all conveniences offered in Spanish Wells. With the motorboat, kayak, and bicycles offered with the rental, renters can easily explore this beautiful area and even find their own private island.
