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!

I really can’t put into words how amazing this house was. The location is perfect - a short golf cart ride to everything, and the best snorkeling steps out your door. The house is perfect for a small family. Sunset views, sunrise views, crystal clear water, no waves, kayaks and SUPs, snorkeling gear… I could go on. Christy is what really sets this property apart from the rest. She helped arrange everything and answered all of our questions for the past 3 months as we planned for this trip. My daughters got to hold starfish right outside their back door, swam with sea turtles, and saw the most amazing sea life right behind the house. TyMan charters was also great to interact with sea turtles and do some snorkeling away from home. Peace and quiet abound - there isn’t a lot of “excitement” on the island. The restaurants were very good (The Vault and Shipyard were our personal favorites) and Papa’s Scoops is a must. We loved just cruising around on the golf cart exploring the island. The Swings over th water are a 4-minute golf cart ride away, and that beach is also very nice. We saw a little reef shark and a barracuda there. There is literally nothing bad to say about this place. It is exactly as Christy describes it and the pictures show, and we will happily be back some day.

Sandy Shoes was perfect for my husband and I. We loved the view from the patio and the beach area. The host answered all our questions and took care of our golf cart rental. She was professional, polite, and prompt.The house is perfect for couples or a family of four. It was very clean and neat. You will need water shoes as the entry into the sea is rocky, but that can clearly be seen in the photos which were very accurate. That is easily solved. I ordered a pair on Amazon for 7.Did not snorkel but it looked to be a nice spot for that and we saw several sea turtles swim by. We love Spanish Wells and will return.

This was our third year staying here. We love Christy and her husband. They live on the island so if anything comes up they're right there. I love the spot because you see more marine life vs the beach. Water shoes is a must. But if you want beach just hop on the golf cart, go down the road. You can see it from the house. Beautiful house. I don't think we ever turned the TV on cause your outside the whole time. But Christy is fabulous. Schedules the taxi ferry and golf cart. Cause thats all you need is a golf cart to get around. Very safe island! We're just trying to get to where we can come twice a year. Lol!
