    Boo's Bungalow - Family and dog friendly waterfront bungalow

    **Please note the pin showing our location. on the map is incorrect. We are located across from the Sand Bar and Restaurant**

    A spacious family home with enough space for your whole group! Fully equipped to handle large groups with a bunk room, family room, two master bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, play area, and great room with a dining room table to fit everyone.

    Enjoy the views that come with a waterfront property with water access. Just a short walk from the best bar on the island and a short golf cart ride away from a the public beach on Spanish Wells and more!

    Our home is kid friendly, adult friendly and dog friendly. There is a great room with a living room area, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen has been stocked with all the equipment and tools you will need to cook a gourmet dinner and mix cocktails of your choice. We also supply basic spices, coffee, tea bags, flour, sugar, rice, olive oil, vegetable oil and a Berkey water filter to make 2.5 gallons of healthy drinking water at a time. Please note there is NO DISHWASHER in this property as they tend to break down quickly due to the salt air and minerals in the water.

    All our bathrooms are stocked with towels, shower wash, shampoos, conditioner, hand soap, shaving cream, and emergency supplies of toothpaste and toothbrushes. We also have a baby bath, baby shampoo and bath wash, thermometer, first aid kits, after sun lotion, body lotion, and more. There is a bathroom next to the family bedroom with a tub, which is shared by all. The downstairs master bath has a huge two-person shower. Upstairs, the master and wardroom share a shower room, but each has its own sink/toilet room.

    Our outdoor space includes a nice big deck, lounge chairs, an outdoor dining table, grill, cooler and outdoor shower. Off the deck, you will find a laundry room for your use. We also have a sand terrace, beach chairs, snorkelling equipment, some basic water shoes in various sizes, floats and 2 Crystal Clear Kayaks for rent.

    ***A $285 cleaning fee will be collected in CASH upon arrival. You will not be allowed on the property until our property manager has received the fee.

    Please, contact the owner if you would like to bring a pet. Additional charges may apply.

    The easiest way to travel around the island is via golf cart. We can help you make reservations with a local vendor. When renting through us we make sure your cart is waiting and the dock ready for you when you arrive.

    Great first experience to Russell Island
    The house was very well appointed and well thought out design on a beautiful oceanside with excellent snorkeling right out front. The check-in process could not have been better. We were met at the airport, brought to the ferry, picked up right away by the property manager with golf cart waiting and brought to the home with no delay. Checkout was just as smooth. The islands of Russell and Spanish wells were stunning and we cannot wait to come back!

    Cute, quiet and comfortable but disappointing
    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!

    Amazing Stay - Wish I could give 6 stars!
    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

    We'll be back!
    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.
