About this property

Secluded, Private, Beachfront Villa W/ Motorboat, Kayaks & SUP

Conch Shell Beach Villa offer free use of a 16' motorboat, 2 tandem ocean kayaks and a stand up paddleboard. This charming beachfront villa is located in the quiet western area of the beautiful 2.5 mile long delicate pink sand beach of Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Bahamas. This area of Spanish Wells Bahamas offers some of the best bonefishing in the Bahamas. Conch Shell Beach Villa is located on more than 1.6 acre of beach front property so that it offers much more privacy than most of the beachfront rental properties in the area (which are typically situated on 1/8 acre or less). Spanish Wells is very safe, and the locals are helpful (and sometimes even entertaining.) This lovely vacation villa rental offers a private entrance and a large private garden with many coconut palm trees, an abundance of flowering trees, sea grape trees, coco plum trees, and large native Bahamian shade trees. This villa is located in an area of large beachfront estate lots (most 2+ acres) where there is no public beach access; so, this is the most quiet and secluded stretch of beach in Spanish Wells. The beachfront garden is a great place to relax in the hammock and peacefully read a good book.

The Villa:: The interior of the home is decorated in the very colorful island tradition with much of the furniture of wicker and rattan. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large great room, and a full kitchen. The villa offers every convenience including cable TV, DVD/CD player, washer & dryer, microwave, paddle fans in every room, and air-conditioning throughout. Free unlimited high-speed internet is available. Marvelous ocean views are offered from the great room and kitchen!

There is an expansive covered front porch that offers up the most amazing views of the turquoise blue ocean. This is a great place to relax and read a book on the chaise lounges in the shade, or to dine outside while taking in the view. Adjacent to the porch is an outside shower so that one can rinse off salt and sand before entering the house.

A paddleboard, and 2 tandem ocean kayaks are offered with the vacation rental with which one can use to explore the area. A 16' new fiberglass boat with motor is also offered for those that love fishing, snorkeling, and sightseeing. With the boat one can explore nearby islets, islands, cays, deserted beaches, and some of the Spanish Wells Bahamas area's most beautiful reefs. The boat is moored right in front of the villa making it very convenient to use at anytime. Otherwise, motorboats, kayaks, and bicycles are very expensive to rent separately if you can find any to rent. Golf cart rentals are plentiful in Spanish Wells and can easily be rented starting at $225/wk. = $32/day with discounts available for longer stays. We'd be happy to help you with a golf cart rental for your stay.

Conch Shell Beach Villa is located on an idyllic beach with powder soft pinkish sand. The beach is calm, tranquil, and warm with no rocks, rough surf, or riptides, and the ocean is so clear you can see your shadow on the bottom.

Fishing charters, snorkeling trips, cave tours, golf cart rentals, and larger boat rentals are available. It is best to reserve these at the same time as the villa. Please request further information if you are interested.

Spanish Wells: is very safe with friendly, helpful locals. The Spanish Wells area is well-known for its great fishing and snorkeling. The Devil's Backbone Barrier Reef is just offshore. Terrific bonefishing can be had right in front of Conch Shell Beach Villa.

In Spanish Wells Bahamas, you will never run out of things to do until you want to. The native Bahamian quilt makers, the local straw vendors & the museum are always fun to visit. A visit with local fishermen as they bring in their fresh catch each day can be both informative and delicious. A trip on the Fast Ferry to nearby Harbour Island is a delight, and you won't want to miss the local restaurants, the home bakeries, and the best fishing and snorkeling that the Bahamas has to offer.

Spanish Wells is reminiscent of an idyllic Cape Cod fishing village with swaying coconut palm trees and bright bougainvillea as background. Winding little roads lead a visitor around brightly painted cottages sporting gables and wooden shutters.

Note: The rental rates are for accommodations at Conch Shell only. A motor boat, ocean kayaks, and Stand Up Paddle Board are offered free of charge for your use at your own risk. Note: An energy surcharge is applicable on this rental for any electricity bills in excess of $200/wk. Please see our rental form for rules and cancellation policy on this site.

SWIMMING PIGS, TAME SEA TURLES, STINGRAYS, DOLPHINS.... OH MY!!

We can help you with reserving fishing charters, snorkeling trips, boat and golf cart rentals, and booking a now famous " SEAVENTURE". Its best to reserve these at the same time that you reserve the villa. Capt. Smiley, the property manager of Sunnyside Beach Villa, along with his brother Capt. Scuba are licensed captains that enjoy taking our visitors on fishing, snorkeling, boating, and land excursions. Many of our guests say that their excursion with Capt. Smiley or Capt. Scuba is one of the very best parts of their vacation. The captains also rent boats and golf carts at the best prices in town. Call us at Spanish Wells SeaVentures or Spanish Wells Realty, Ltd. to reserve your boat, golf cart, and / or excursion.

SeaVenture reviews:
"Can't say enough good things about Capt. Smiley and our snorkeling trip with him. He got a big cooler filled with ice & drinks, we brought along some lunch and snacks, and so began one of the best days ever. We went swimming with the pigs (amazing fun). We went to Egg Island and saw beautiful colorful marine life in really shallow water that the kids could really enjoy. We boated to other islands and beaches, had a beach picnic, found some conch, sand dollars, and amazing shells, snorkeled in beautiful sea gardens, and a couple of us were brave enough to jump off a cliff! I could go on and on, but shan't. We will definitely hook up with Captain Smiley again when we return to Spanish Wells." Michael Goodroe, CA, USA.

“We loved our day away with Captains Ron & Smiley! They took us to deserted beaches, amazingly beautiful reefs, and we even caught a bunch of nice snappers for dinner! They hooked fish for the youngsters and let them reel them in. They were very patient and accommodating. We saw beautiful starfish, a huge ray, many beautiful fish, and as we were going back to the dock at the end of a great day, we saw a group of dolphins - with mamas and babies. Wow what a day! I highly recommend a day away with Spanish Wells SeaVentures. It was the highlight of our trip!" Lorna Palowski, NC, USA.

“We had a great time exploring North Eleuthera with Capt. Scuba. Historic Preacher’s Cave, other hidden caves, a magnificent blue hole, the truly amazing Glass Window Bridge, Queen’s Bath, and he took us to pick fresh mangoes from his farms – delicious! He’s very knowledgeable about the area having grown up “in the bush”! On a different day Capt. Scuba took us spear fishing. (He’s a local commercial lobster diver when he’s not doing tours and fishing trips for folks like us.) We caught groupers, snappers, lobsters, and other fish on which all 5 of us feasted for days. All in all we had two great days with Capt. Scuba.” Mary Monnaco, FL, USA

A Little Slice of Heaven

The Conch Shell House was the perfect size for our group. The house had everything that we needed for our one week stay. It was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed exploring the property and the beach. They had the largest hermit crabs we had ever seen and all of the coconuts one could want. We even spotted bunnies a time or two. The walk to the beach is short and the view is breathtaking. We also used the boat a time or two. I would definitely stay here again.

Tropical paradise

For a quiet beach vacation in an unbelievably beautiful location I can not imagine a better option. Soft white sand beach with shallow water and not a soul in sight. Sitting on the patio looking at the turquoise sea is a delight. The house is simple and comfortable with everything you need... Great washer and dryer, good internet. Lorraine, Brent and Kalina we're incredibly accommodating and helpful.

Beautiful

Spanish Wells is a very friendly and safe island. The house was perfect for our family and we used the kayas and bikes daily. We went fishing with Brent and caught many fish. Swimming, snorkeling and paddle boarding by the house is great. We saw turtles and even a Manatee one evening. We fell in love with the island and hope to return soon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us.

If you are looking for the perfect place to unplug and unwind, this is your spot. Privacy and tranquility abound! The home was very well appointed...all you need to bring is a bathing suit. Walk down the short path and you'll find your private beach. And boat! And kayaks! And tiki hut where you can sip cocktails and watch the amazing sunset. The Beauregards are delightful and attentive. Lorraine couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. We look forward to a repeat vacation next year! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise!

Wonderful haven

We had a wonderful month at the Conch Shell Beach Villa. The house sits on a beautiful beach with mostly calm and shallow crystal clear water. We saw lots of sea life there. The house is very cute with absolutely everything you need. It’s clean and everything works perfectly. We had one issue with the internet and Lorraine got right on it and it was fixed within 24 hours. Both her and Brent were very attentive and super helpful at all times. We also rented a golf cart from Lorraine. Easy as 1, 2, 3! Loved everything about our stay there. Highly recommended!

Paradise Awaits!

Conch Shell Villa meets all expectations you have for a calm, peaceful, laid-back vacation. The house is charming. It is a little rustic, but very clean and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The beachfront is breathtaking. We spent every sunset on the beach either paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing. The golf cart worked like a charm and we enjoyed using the skiff as well. Communication with the hosts was seamless, and we enjoyed two days on the water with Captain Smiley and Seaventures where we saw turtles, stingrays, and even caught enough fish for dinner! Overall, Conch Shell Villa is exactly what you want if you're looking for a place to get away from it all and enjoy time with family and friends. 100 percent recommend!

Amazing

My girlfriend and I stayed for 7 days in early October. We should have stayed longer. Spanish Wells itself, is a neat little island. Everything slows down. It is not crowded and built up like a tourist area usually is. You can travel every where on a golf cart, which is included. It is very safe and the views are amazing. Do yourself a favor and book a boat tour with captain smiley. The scenery you see will leave you speechless. The villa is clean with everything you need. It is on the beac, but has some small vegetation between the villa and the beach. The beach itself is gorgeous. We cannot wait to go back

Very relaxing vacation in a paradise

We spent one week at Conch Shell Villa at the end of August 2022. We had a wonderful time. The house is in front of a beautiful beach with turquoise, warm and quiet waters populated by sea turtles. We enjoyed the sunset long walks on the beach till the nearby sand banks. The house is fully equipped with everything you might need and even more (kayaks, paddle board, boat, golf cart etc) and the manager was very welcoming and helpful. The island is very safe and everyone was very kind with us. The restaurants nearby are excellent (we tried the shipyard, the wreckers and the sandbar), the grocery store very close. The boat excursion with seaventure was the best part, we saw so much marine wild life and breathtaking sceneries. We loved this relaxing vacation on this paradise island! Paola & Guido

Loved it!

Spent a week at conch shell in June...it was perfect....from Lorraine, Ron, and Brent’s hospitality, to the gorgeous property, to the private serene beach, to gorgeous sunsets, to the boat that we used every day! The villa is really great and even cuter than the pics...we also loved Spanish wells, it’s nice and quiet...not a ton of restaurants but we loved wreckers and went there several times (saganaki and pizza are incredible!)...the grocery is surprisingly really good and had all that we needed...we enjoyed cooking in a few nights. Tips: bring lots of cash (there is an atm on island if needed), and definitely you’ll want to buy bottled water there, liquor is about the same price as in states. Also note, we debated staying at the cove (which is gorgeous) and French leave resort but after seeing the main island as compared to Spanish wells, we were really happy with our choice!!! Overall an incredible week! We would come back ina heartbeat!

Slice of paradise

Rustic beach cottage on the most gorgeous beach. Spanish Wells is the perfect size for a family getaway - not touristy or too crowded. The house is dated but it’s what we expected and had everything we needed. A huge bonus that the house came with a little skiff. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding waters. Lots of good food on the island. Def recommend renting a golf cart. Groceries are expensive, but we brought a good bit from home. The beach is just a short walk through the path from the house and is quiet and tranquil. We had the whole beach to ourselves most days! We enjoyed snorkeling right on the beach, looking for conchs and starfish and enjoying the sea life. Our four year old son had the best time with many new experiences! We also had a great time going to see the turtles, pigs, and rays with Capt. Smiley and Mrs. Kalina! We will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later!

Very clean house with great amenities

We loved our stay at the conch shell beach house. It was very clean and had comfortable sheets, pillows and towels to use. We loved having use of the kayaks and the small motor boat at the beach. It was very windy on the beach during our stay so it was a bit difficult for us to use the paddle board. There was great snorkeling around the beach as well. The beach was very quiet and private feeling. We mostly only saw a couple or so walk by every once in a while. We took the sea ventures boat tour and it was the highlight of the trip by far. All the communication about the house was great and everything from transportation from the airport to the ferry, from the ferry to the house, etc. was handled by the caretakers and was seamless. The only thing I would recommend is that the pull out couch be replaced or fixed. We had 5 guests, so someone had to use the couch’s bed for sleeping and the bed was broken. She ended up sleeping on top of the couch instead which was a bit uncomfortable for a week’s stay. The house was perfect for 4 people though. Overall, we loved our stay in Spanish Wells and are planning our return trip.

Absolutely amazing!

We all were very disappointed to have to leave this amazing place. This home has some of the best views that I have yet to see. The moment we walked through the door, we noticed it was very clean, smelled good, & had a comfy feeling to it. We were greeted when we first arrived & shown around the property. They were very nice & thoughtful. We used the kayaks, paddle board, the boat for a little bit, & to get around the island we rented their golf carts. It was an awesome experience for all of us! The house is pretty much set up with the essentials. We took the sea tour with SeaVentures, which was a different kind of an amazing experience. We did some snorkeling, stopped on a sand bar in the middle of nowhere & got out to pay in the water, looked at some deserted islands, & cliff jumping (well only one us jumped...the rest of us chicked out). Capt Smiley is awesome & Kalina (I hope I remember her name correctly) is super sweet. They both went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. They even brought us some fresh mangos (we loved them) to try. I can not say enough about the place. The views are perfect, the water is so clear, the people are super friendly, and the atmosphere is laid back. You can't ask for anything more!!! We will definitely be back!

Ideal location

Conch Shell Villa is situated in an ideal location with gorgeous views from the porch. The very short walk to the beach is super easy and leads to the powdery white sand and blue water that brings us all to the Caribbean in winter. I walked/ran the beach in both directions several mornings and encountered maybe 10 people total all week. The boat is a nice perk—we took it out once—do mind the tides before setting out. The two person kayaks are also fun! The house is outfitted with all you need for eating in—we did so for breakfast and lunch everyday—and has plenty of bath and beach towels. We love having a washer and dryer available so we can pack lightly. The property is dated, and it shows, mostly in the bedrooms and bathrooms. In one of the bedrooms there was no space to put clothing other than the closet with a few usable hangers. Minor, but annoying when you have to live out of your suitcase for a week. The window unit AC in one bedroom was incredibly loud. While the temps ranged from low to high 70’s the house became very warm during the day, and we used the AC in both bedrooms and the living area. The owners did come take a look at the AC but the problem was not resolved and they expressed surprise that we needed AC. Our golf cart, which we rented through the owners, was incredibly slow. Not only did cars pass us but so did other golf carts. The owners did swap out the golf cart but we were told that all of the rental golf carts were slow, and the replacement was indeed equally slow. Overall, Spanish Wells is a great place to visit if you are ok with relaxing, eating, drinking, and repeating. For first timers, remember the prices for everything are much, much higher than in the states. We loved the Shipyard, Budda’s, and Wreckers (go early for happy hour drinks and appetizers—we went at 6 one evening and waited TWO hours for TWO pizzas for the four of us), and Sandbar is by far the best food and service and location. Definitely stock up on groceries and beer when you arrive on Saturday as the grocery store and liquor stores are closed on Sunday.

Paradise Found

We have been vacationing in the Eleuthera & Spanish Wells area for 15 years, and have rented private homes each year in South, North, and Central Eleuthera. 7 years ago we rented Conch Shell Beach Villa, and we have returned to Conch Shell Beach Villa for each of the past 7 years. The villa itself is comfy, light, airy, and always clean. We have stayed there with other couples and with our daughter and her children. Everyone we bring to the villa loves it, and they all ask when they can return. My little granddaughter always says that she wants to “go back to her pink house!” You really can’t find a better beach for little ones anywhere. The beach in front of the villa is shallow, warm, calm, & sandy; it is just like bath water, a place where they want to play all day. The boat at the villa is a huge plus. (Otherwise, the least expensive boat rental on the island is about $500/wk.) We love taking the boat out to the wonderful barrier reef just off shore. We’ve seen turtles, colorful sea fans, whole sand dollars, sea stars, and beautiful fish of every description. We’ve also had the wonderful experience of swimming with friendly dolphins in the wild; an amazing experience that the entire family will never forget. We have also been boating around Spanish Wells, Pierre Rocks, Russell Island, Royal Island, Egg Island, Meek’s Patch, North Eleuthera, and the lovely Ben Bay Beach; there’s something new to explore and discover on each little island. We’ve also had fun tooling around the town of Spanish Wells on the bicycles, and my daughter and her husband made it a practice to go kayaking each and every morning. Conch Shell is on an extra large beachfront property with the most amazing 30+ feet tall coconut palms and other tropical foliage. All the homes around Conch Shell are also on a few acres of property, and there is no public beach access in the area. Quite often we never see another soul on the beach. There is an excellent large grocery store in Spanish Wells, just ½ mile from the villa; it offers just about everything that we are used to in the U.S. There are wonderful home bakeries where we purchase fresh piping hot bread and pastries at 10:30 a.m. each morning. There are a number of restaurants that serve Bahamian and American dishes that are reasonably priced. The cracked conch, conch chowder, and grilled lobster are excellent choices. The owners are wonderful people and have become good friends. We will return next year!

Excellent comfortable villa

We stayed in this quiet clean safe villa with another couple we’ve been friends with a lifetime. The villa was very nice and secluded with wonderful landscaping to make our tropical retreat perfect. We did not need the A/C at all. Kitchen is well equipped. The local grocery stores are very nice. Grocery prices are double what we pay in the Midwest but we expected that. . Gas is also. Accommodation prices are high also. One thing to remember is they have started bring your own bags or carrying devices for you groceries we did not realize this whey we first shopped. The villa is dated but comfortable. The beds are Kings and were ok as far as comfort goes. Bedding was nice. The two bathrooms are adequate and appreciated. Living area is roomy with ok furniture it could be a little more comfortable but definitely sufficient. Water pressure and supply was good. Drinking water we bought as tap water is salty. The front porch was our favorite place well accommodating with chairs and an outdoor table for dining. It was really windy the first half of our vacation on Spanish Wells but the villa is protected by lots of trees and shrubs making a comfortable outdoor patio environment. The extra equipment was an added bonus though due to high winds we were unable to take much advantage of this time. The path to the beach is a winding trail of sand surrounded on both side of tropical shrubbery and palms. This added a whimsical secret path feeling we enjoyed several times each day. The grounds are well kept and several types of birds and wildlife along with two local cats that frequent the property we enjoyed. If we were to make suggestions it would be a larger living rm TV with swing out wall mounting and a wall mounted TV for each bedroom with DVDs or Roku to access your Netflix or Amazon to retire to. These are luxuries that add value to your rental property and will make your guests feel at home. Newer mattresses and living furniture would also be a plus. With that said it is a very comfortable home. We did rent the golf carts from the manager while there they were in need of attention as far as steering and running (the carburetor and belt needs a little attention) and I’m sure as with all rental just needs known and will be attended to we have no doubt. The management were very accommodating, friendly, and on top of everything brought to their attention. Conch shells are only allowed in checked luggage we found! Love the beaches and harbor area

Best Beach Getaway

My husband and I took our boys (ages 24, 27) for a family getaway. This was a perfect place because it was a very laid back place with plenty to do. The owner arranged our transportation from the airport to the home. We sincerely appreciated her hospitality and incredible service while we were here. Having a private beach with chairs, kayaks, bicycles, and a boat was incredible. We used the boat to explore other small islands, cliff jump and swim in some of the most beautiful clear turquoise water that we have ever seen. We used the grill for several dinners and found everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. We rented a golf cart to get around on the island and I would highly recommend it! The local places to eat and shop were great and people were most friendly. We did a half day charter with Brent to snorkel, go to the swings and a really cool sandbar. We saw turtles, rays, lots of fish and even a few sharks! This is the absolute best vacation we have ever taken! I would highly recommend this wonderful place for anyone wanting a relaxing of the beaten path, tropical beach vacation.

Loved taking long walks around the island by the water. Paddle boards were fun to use. Our 2 days with Uncle Robs Adventures was so fun and will definitely use him again!

About the host

Hosted by Brent Beauregard

Host profile image
We are a local family living in Spanish Wells Eleuthera Bahamas. Our family dates back to the original Eleutheran Adventurers, the first European settlers in The Bahamas, dating back to 1648, who shipwrecked on Devil's Backbone Reef just off of Preacher's Cave in nearby North Eleuthera.. 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 and will be pleased to show you all the best local real estate deals (her listings and all 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. We love sharing our piece of Paradise with our new friends.

Why they chose this property

Conch Shell Beach Villa is located on more than 1.5 acre of beach front property so that it offers much more privacy than most of the beachfront rental properties in the area (which are typically situated on 1/8 acre or less). This lovely vacation villa rental offers a private gated entrance and a large private garden with many coconut palm trees, an abundance of flowering trees, sea grape trees, coco plum trees, and large native Bahamian shade trees. This villa is located in an area of large beachfront estate lots (most 2+ acres) where there is no public beach access; so, this is the most quiet and secluded stretch of beach in Spanish Wells.

What makes this property unique

Conch Shell Beach Villa offers a boat, golf cart, SUP board, ocean kayaks, and bicycles with the rental free of charge on a quiet and secluded beachfront property. Conch Shell Beach Villa guests receive discounts with Spanish Wells SeaVentures.
