We felt safe and comfortable, enjoyed the night sky and peaceful, quietness as well as the close proximity to The Sandbar restaurant.
On the downside, the map location on VRBO is totally off and shows this house much closer to the bridge over to the main area of Spanish Wells so it took longer to get anywhere (obviously not too much, but worth noting).
On the inside, in the master bath the sink cold water didn't work at all and the water splashes everywhere when running at a low to moderate flow. Also in the master bath the toilet 'wobbled' and looks like it leaks at the bottom, GROSS. Also, the water completely stopped on us twice, once when only 1 was being used and then again when 2 were being used at the same time with no other water running. The refrigerator took over 12 hours to cool items placed in it after we arrived, however the freezer worked fine. Would suggest an upgrade. We didn't use the upstairs at all since there were only 3 of us, but I don't see how any adult over 5'3 could stay there. Small linens; kitchen and bathroom hand towels were limited and looked like they were used for cleaning vs. face, hand or dish drying.
The outside needs work - A LOT. The grass was long, the two lounge cushions down by the water were torn, beat up and very dirty. No umbrellas could be found as shown in the pictures. There isn't any beach access, so not safe for young children. The shed and items in it were very dirty and rusty. BBQ grill was not level and dirty.

We felt nothing but at home during our stay. Communication with the owner was great and fast, plus the house manager, Mitchell, was fantastic! He was so helpful. We love the island and the seclusion. It’s a very low key place that’s quiet. Can’t wait to go back!

Our stay at Boos-Bungalow was magnificent. This was the best stocked VRBO we’ve stayed in. From toiletries, to pantry staples, sunscreen, bug spray & laundry supplies-the Enders family has thought if everything. Incredible weather, wonderful snorkeling right in the back yard (the highlight was the sea turtle & barracuda) and super convenient to the Sandbar restaurant. Spanish Wells and Russel Island are a very laid back friendly places & it was such a relaxing week. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks for everything

Our entire stay was wonderful, everyone could not believe the views and fun from our backyard. Able to enjoy sunrise and sunset by only a turn of your head. All the friendly people on the island no matter where we went. We are already planning for next year

This was our first trip to Spanish Wells and we had a wonderful time. Our stay at Boo's Bungalow was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We had four adults and one infant and we were all comfortable. We have been traveling to the Bahamas for 20+ years and have stayed in a number of vacation rentals. This was by far the best equipped and one of the nicest, if not the nicest, we have ever stayed at. We traveled with our toddler (17 month old) daughter for the first time and loved that we did not need to bring a portable crib, car seat (not needed on island) or high chair. We like to travel light and staying at Boo's Bungalow allowed us to do that. We loved the location and everything else about the house. Will definitely be back!

The property and amenities were outstanding. The beaches stupendous!! Wish we had been better prepared for all the things you need cash for. Mitchell (property manager) was very helpful. The island people are sooo friendly and helpful. Do NOT fly Silver Airways!!! Multiple delays and cancellations that resulted in tons of additional costs and hassles for us, requiring us to stay an additional night and change flights.

Thank you for sharing your home😊

Boo’s Bungalow was one of the best rentals I’ve ever visited! The location was awesome with a great water view. We loved being right across from the Sandbar restaurant! The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need with cooking supplies, snorkel gear, water shoes, kids toys, baby gear, and much much more! The communication was fantastic and everything went as planned!! We can’t wait to return!!

The request from our 3 kids, ranging from 14 - 20, was that our family vacation be in a tropical location, has crystal clear water, no crowds and is not commercialized. We hit a bull's eye with this home and location. This is a very cute home, clean, and a well organized and best stocked kitchen we ever encountered. We saw other vacationers now and then, but we basically lived with the locals for the week and took in their culture. Friendliest folks we ever encountered. Very safe. Easy to get around the island on golf carts. Communication was great between Tracy and Mitch. We had a flat tire on a golf cart and Mitch had it addressed immediately. We arrived to the island later than scheduled, and Mitch accommodated the changes without a hitch. Definitely check out the 'private' beach past the house just beyond where the paved road ends....we were the only ones there every time we went to it. We can definitely see ourselves returning. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home for our family to enjoy!

What a lovely house. The owners have done a wonderful job stocking it with all you could need, which is helpful on an island where supplies aren't at your fingertips. The property manger was available as soon as we needed him as well. Perfect spot for our trip with the girls.

Boo's Bungalow is a well-appointed home with so many thoughtful amenities it would take a long time to list them all. It was quite clean and the perfect home for a family reunion ranging from babies to grandparents. The property managers responded immediately to any questions. the location is perfect for access to the beautiful beaches on Spanish Wells.

The house and property were just beautiful! My husband, two adult kids and I enjoyed everything about Spanish Wells and the location of Boo’s Bungalow. The property manager was extremely helpful and easy to reach. We would definitely come back again!

We had an amazing time at Boo’s Bungalow. The house was beyond perfect with an amazing layout and everything you could need. Kids had their own private space and gave the adults some much needed peace ! Owner and house manager were incredibly helpful with any questions we had.

This house is exactly as advertised. It was clean, spacious (9 adults/older teens) and VERY well equipped. It was even decked out for Christmas!
The location is great (especially proximity to the Sandbar!) and the house manager (Mitchell) was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of.
This was our first trip to Spanish Wells, and we found the residents to be kind and helpful, and the beaches to be stunning!

This property was wonderful and met the needs of my family. The ease of a seamless check in and transfer from airport to the home were very much appreciated. The home is well stocked with everything we needed!

We recently returned from a week at this amazing home. We are frequent visitors to SW/RI and have stayed in many rentals here. This is the best rental we've stayed in. Firstly the house is immaculate, not run down in the slightest or even weather worn. All the windows work and all have screens, which is not always the case here. It was also spotless. The house has everything you need. Having all the food basics was great. I usually travel with spices and basics most houses don't have and it was not necessary for this trip. They even have all the best Trader Joe's spices. Rice, pasta, sauce, oatmeal, fresh coffee, beans, and so much more. We bring our own meats, and this meant a trip to the grocery store wasn't needed until 3 days in. The water filter is also fantastic to have instead of buying water. The house is set up so well. You could bring your whole family and have a huge holiday celebration and need to bring very little. The house is perfect for a couple or a very large family. The pictures don't lie even a little bit. You don't need to bring 90% of the toiletries usually brought, they provide it all. A very large family would be extremely comfortable here and never feel crowded it's big and has amazing spaces for adults and kids alike. It's also across from our favorite restaurant which was great as well. Directly on the water, and just a few minute ride to the North Side beach. We were met at the dock and the managers were easy to contact and wonderful to work with. No need was unmet. I will absolutely be back to Boos with my entire family for a holiday or reunion very soon. Trust the list of what they say is provided and pack light. We travel with just a carry on and we could left a lot of things at home staying in this house. Amazing location, fantastic amenities, clean, beyond functional. We just adore this house, and can't wait to return.

We had a great time on Russell Island and Spanish Wells. Two fantastic weeks! Mary Leigh arranged everything in advance so all we had to do was show up! No stress! The house was great. It was stocked with everything we could possibly need and then some. The floor plan allowed for together time and personal space. She also told us about a private beach a couple of minutes away by golf cart. We spent almost every afternoon there floating in the crystal blue water. We will be back!

We had such a wonderful stay! The house was fully stocked and the owner was super helpful. From the minute we stepped off the plane to getting to the house, everything was perfect. Thank you for sharing your home with our group. We hope to visit again!

A group of ladies stayed here over spring break, and omg we felt like mermaid princesses! Slept all of us easily, and comfortably. The house is well stocked and the morning sun rises are unmatched on our private beach. Outdoor shower was a hit with all campers. We enjoyed relaxing in the cozy kitchen and on the couch. We will 100 percent return! Communication was excellent with renters & they were so very helpful.

My husband & I discover the out islands back in 2019 & have been returning ever since . We now have the joy of 3 other couples that are more like family , that join us . This is our time to just get away & just be … away from the hustle . When owner says house is equipped, take that at face value . Flat irons, dryers, , toiletries, anything beach . Save the room in packing - I promise you . This home is beautifully decorated , peaceful & offers more than enough room to allow space , even when traveling in a big group .
What helped make this trip was the golf carts . We were about a 10/15 minute ride from ferry dock to house . If you park cart & it’s in way of someone , don’t be surprised when your cart is just moved , it’s just the way here .
Every night you can drive thru at Poppa Scoops for a different flavor of homemade ice cream .
Eagles landing is a great breakfast , ship yard had my favorite drink ( pineapple down) , wreckers had great food & buddas brought the music on Friday evenings .
It is so worth contacting Capt’n Smiley for a personal charter . We had certain spots we wanted to see . He took photos , videos of us jumping at Blue Sapphire & then recommended a fabulous lunch at Harbour island . I mentioned a dessert I had on a previous trip & had been unable to find since , he contacted someone & they made me one homemade ( Guava Duff 😋).
I can tell you best beach areas we went , boats we rented , our laughs , I can try to describe through our eyes the beauty of the island & people but this was our trip, our memories , our laughs. One thing I can tell you is life is short & you deserve to have your memories , laughs & to meet some of the best people of your life . Stop dreaming & thinking you can’t, I promise you you can & you will never regret it .

Wonderful. I couldnt have been more pleased. Waking up everyday to that water was just the best! The kitchen was marvelously supplied; we were able to put together a great Superbowl spread.
My husband has some mobility problems and the property presented some difficulties for him or I would have given it a 5.

This is our second visit to Boos Bungalow and we love it here. We highly recommend it. This house is well equipped, clean, private and easy to get to. Everyone here on Russell island/Spanish Wells/North Eleuthera are very friendly and very helpful. Such a beautiful place.
Thank you again!

My wife and I and our family had a truly wonderful time in Spanish Wells. We have four young children and were accompanied by three friends and my brother and his wife and small child. We never felt cramped in this beautiful and charming little salt box in the Bahamas. We loved eating fresh lobster on the back deck, watching an incredible lightning show off in the distance and listening to the night sounds, the wind in the palm trees and the waves lapping the shore. We loved exploring the island on the golf carts (the owners were incredibly helpful and informed as we were arranging this necessary means of conveyance on the island…not to mention ferry/van transfers from the North Eleuthera airport…it was all very easy to do and added to the adventure for the kids) and having sundowners and dinner at the lovely beach bar across the street. We loved swimming with the sea turtles and the local pigs on pig island. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

From the beginning of rental approval throughout our whole stay - Boo’s Bungalow was quick to respond to my questions and would proactively provide amazing suggestions on where to eat, activities, etc. Boo’s Bungalow organized all transportation to and from the airport and the golf carts for our stay. Boo’s Bungalow was the most well equipped home our family has ever stayed in and you could feel the love and pride the family puts into this home. Beyond being well equipped with anything and everything (every kitchen utensil, spice, staple, they also had amazing vegan shampoo, conditioner and soap in the bathrooms). We stayed over Christmas break and arrived to the home with a lovely Christmas tree decorated and other decorations. My kids - 8, 10, and 12 loved throwing the football around the grassy backyard, snorkeling right off the shoreline and the bedroom upstairs with a TV. Being close to the Sandbar was nice too - we would just walk over and enjoy happy hour, drinks, and food. We are forever grateful to Boo’s Bungalow for providing great memories for our family! The description online is 100% accurate for what they offer and location. Thank you Boo’s Bungalow and the Spanish Wells community!!! We fell in love with this island and hope to return.

We were a group of 6. The house is very spacious and equipped with anything you could possibly need. Tracy, the owner was so helpful before our arrival. We had a golf cart waiting for us at the dock upon arrival. Candida, the point of contact once on the island, helped us with whatever we needed. Overall, a great stay!

We had a fantastic week at Boo's Bungalow. The property is charming with sea views from every room. Tracy went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything needed to enjoy our stay, from golf carts and kayaks, to sundries and a paddle board. Candida, the property manager, was absolutely lovely, and very responsive to any requests during our stay. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy meals at the property. The upstairs ward room was a HUGE hit with the kids, and everyone had plenty of room to find a quiet space. All of the bathrooms were well appointed with plenty of space. The outdoor shower was awesome, and the laundry room had everything we needed! Everything was easy to get to, and we truly enjoyed our trip to Spanish Wells! Boo's Bungalow is a true vacation home with everything you might need for your entire party to enjoy a fabulous stay in paradise.

My family and I stayed at Boo's Bungalow for 9 nights in late July. The house was amazing, clean, spacious, air conditioned, nice deck with a great view. The “bunk” room upstairs was a favorite hangout spot.
From booking to checking out, Mary made it a breeze! She arranged the taxi from the airport to the docks, the ferry to Spanish Wells, and had the golf carts waiting for us when we arrived. Candida the caretaker of the property met us at the docks with her truck to help with the luggage as well. 5 Star service all around.
Having the Sandbar and Grill across the street was a huge bonus, we went there several times for food and drinks. Sitting at the bar with a cocktail and wings was my father in laws favorite after beach activity.
The water off the back of the house is great to float around in and snorkel. We saw a bunch of fish, starfish, shells, and sand dollars. You do need water shoes though, it is rocky with lots of sea urchins. If you have young children or older adults it could be very rough to get in and out. We were there with two older adults and found it easier to take the 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach right around the corner. It was pristine and there were never more than a few people there.
Our stay at Boo’s Bungalow was just what we needed after the last year and would definitely consider going back!

The amazingly appointed home in paradise! We will be back!

This house was perfect for a large group! There was plenty of space for 11 people! The Sandbar Bar and Grill was right across the street. Access to Satellite Beach was great. We saw so much sea life right behind the house! The whole island is beautiful! We will definitely be back!
5.0
Boo’s Bungalow was not only a slice of heaven, but it had everything we needed - and more!! From every cooking utensil & spice anyone could possibly need to cook a feast, to ample blow dryers, flat irons, and every piece of beach equipment you could imagine!
Pack your swimsuit, rent a golf cart, and get lost on Spanish Wells/Russell Island exploring hidden beaches and delicious restaurants. 11/10 we’ll be back! Thanks to Candida for helping us set up our fishing trip and allowing us to check out late.
Make sure you pack water shoes if you want to swim off the private beach in the back though - the rocks are slippery and sharp.

Fantastic property, we had a great time and will be back again. Thank you very much.

I love this place - the location, set up, amenities. It is very well stocked and perfect for a group. I would have packed less had I known. The refrigerator went on the fritz the final night. I hope it’s and easy fix. Lovely rental. Thank you.

We cannot say enough about our wonderful stay at Boo's Bungalow. It has everything described and more! Plenty of space indoors and out for our family and friends. So many extras to keep us comfortable from laundry to spices and dishes and even an outdoor shower! Lawn, sand & ocean access out the back door. We will definitely be back!
