Best decision ever!
My family have been to the Bahamas many times but this was our first trip to Spanish Wells/ North Eleluthera. Christy was so helpful! Set everything up for our shuttle, ferry ride and had golf carts and a guide waiting for us when we arrived. The house & location were just perfect! SUPER comfortable beds. Christy was out of town during our stay and she STILL took care of everything including setting up a fabulous 1/2 day charter. I only wished we had a longer stay but we WILL be back!

Lovely cottage
Property was super clean and very easy to access. Communication with the host was excellent. We needed a short rental before moving to a different property and this fit the bill, but honestly we would have been perfectly fine staying at Anchor's Away for the full week. The golf cart was waiting for us right on the dock which made getting from the dock to Russell's Island simple. We used the kayaks and paddle boards while we were there as well. The "beach" on property was handy for relaxing but the access to the water is rocky so not ideal for swimming -- luckily its a short ride to SW with the most beautiful sandy beaches in the world. We would stay again!

I never write a review, however this location as well as home is review worthy. Steps away from the most beautiful crystal clear water with a immaculate charming cottage. The property was very quiet and private. Being able to take the cart into town but at the same time have privacy from being not in town was perfect. Christy and Shane very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Anniversary in Paradise
We had an amazing stay at Anchors Away!!! The cottage is so stinkin cute!!! We have been wanting to go to the Bahamas for a couple of years now but Covid put a big wrench in our plans! Spanish Wells and Russell Island met all our expectations and more! We usually go to all inclusive adult only resorts when it’s just the 2 of us, but we wanted to be adventurous! There is no where safer place than Spanish Wells! The locals are the most hospitable people… just 100% nice! We met some of the Sweeting family and they are just so friendly and welcoming! We loved our stay in this precious cottage that had everything you could possibly need!!! We will be coming back for sure❤️ Thank you Christy for helping and answering all our questions and being so helpful!! The gold cart was a huge bonus and that may have been one of my husbands favorite things about our trip!!!

Beautiful Location
We had a great stay here while we were on a work trip. The owners were absolutely fantastic, communicated well, and would bend over backwards for anything we needed including arranging transportation to and from the airport Location is a cool area with great views, close to the sandbar restaurant where we spent most of our time for eating. The property was perfect for my copilot and I. If we have another trip to the Bahamas we’ll definitely be staying at a sweetings property, cannot recommend them enough they were great!

Great house!
This house was everything that was advertised and exceeded our expectations! Christy and her husband went above and beyond to assist us. That included storing our luggage on our last day when we had 4 hours to kill. The house is well decorated and had everything we needed. The outside was amazing, as Christy had all sorts of yard decorations. There were coconuts painted as tropical fish hanging from trees that were very detailed, so much so we wanted to buy one! Everything looked so good we took a bunch of pictures! I would highly recommend Anchors Away for the house, as well as for the service that the Sweeting's provided! Thank you so much!

We loved our stay at the Anchors Away cottage. Christy was very responsive from start to finish! I was disappointed that this cottage does not have access to the beach on the property, but we loved having the golf cart to explore the island as well as the kayak at the town beach to use. We would highly recommend for any group looking for a relaxing vacation!

Outstanding cottage
This place was amazing for my girlfriend and I for out short stay to Eleuthera. We loved the amenities, cleanliness, and location. The cottage was set up with everything we needed to have a fantastic couple of days. The owners met us at the ferry dock and gave us the golf cart and the check in was very easy. We liked how they had the place set up with all the cooking items we needed. I would recommend this cottage for a couple or even two couples.
