This was our 4th visit to SW. The rental was in a perfect location and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners even provided a golfcart! Communication was quick and efficient including how the owners offered and arranged our transfers on our arrival and departure days.

This property was spacious, well equipped, and had great AC. Our host Sharon was wonderful! From coordinating our airport transportation to the ferry, to the quick island tour before walking us through the property, she made it easy for us to start our adventure exploring the lovely island. Having the golf cart available really helped us explore and do more than we probably would have otherwise. We loved the proximity to the beach and even had it to ourselves a few of the evenings for sunset.

This is our second time staying in this property. We love the location, walking distance to Budda's and 50 yards to the best part of the beach. AC works great beds are comfortable and since our last visit they added a convertible pit group so property now has a King bed and two couches that convert to double beds. Front and back porches were nice options if you wanted to get sun or avoid it. We will definitely be staying at this property again.

Spanish Wells Hidden Gem

Our stay at Hidden Gem was wonderful. The beach is close and easy to get to. We have stayed in a lot of homes but this one was wonderful due to the host! Sharon greeted us at the dock and drove us around the island and showed us local spots. It made venturing out with the golf cart very easy! I would highly recommend one of her properties to stay at. You just do not find that type of interaction and kindness very often! We will be back hopefully soon! Thank you Sharon!!!!

Perfect accommodations in “Paradise”!

Can’t say enough good things about Hidden Gem! Location couldn’t be better (walk to beach, stores, and Budda’s) and Sharon and Will (hosts) couldn’t have been nicer.sharon met us at the dock upon arrival and brought us back the day we left. The apartment had everything we needed (beach chairs, BBQ grill, golf cart, kayak) for a relaxing visit to Spanish Wells. Will definitely come back to Hidden Gem as it felt like home :-)

Nice cozy place

This was a quick weekend getaway and Sharon’s place was the perfect spot for me and the husband. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was fully stocked. Place was very clean and comfortable. Sharon was also very accommodating in that she arranged the taxi and ferry service and picked us up at the dock. Would recommend staying here. She also has other places to rent on the same property.

Birthday Vacation

I had a wonderful stay at Hidden Gem. It was perfect for me - great location to everything. Comes with the buggy which is a bonus. I was able to walk to the beach and spent my days there. Sharon picked me up at the dock and showed me around the rental. She’s so sweet and kind! I will definitely stay with her again, though my April dates are taken. Gotta book early!

A week in Paradise

Was PERFECT for us. Sharon and Will are exceptional hosts. Sharon made everything so easy, from arranging a.Taxi from the airport, to the Ferry, and picked us up at the Ferry. She gave a tour, and showed the rental to us. The Hidden Gem is very comfortable, and clean, and accomadates a couple very nicely. A gollf cart for transportation comes with the rental and it was so much fun to explore, and go everywhere arond Spanish Wells, and Russell Island. They also provide Kayaks, and Beach Towels, Beach Chairs, and " Floaties" to enjoy that Beautiful Ocean! I HIGHLY Recommend Sharon and Will'S, Hidden Gem!

We had a great last minute trip which Sharon was very helpful with. She initiated the taxi driver David from the airport and greeted us at the ferry dock taking us for a quick ride through the island so we knew where everything was. This cute cottage is very ideally located with nice beach decor and the perfect layout. You can walk next door for alcohol and down the street for an amazing beach, everything else we used the included golf cart. Kayaks and paddle boards are included but we didn’t get a chance to use them because we rented a boat every day through Harbourside. The only reason for the 4 star cleanliness is due to the slight scent of mold which my fiancé is sensitive to however this place is great and we absolutely recommend.

I’m not sure why she would say that there is a scent of moles I’ve never had mold or smelt the scent of mold. We have had so many guests and never had a complaint or problem. I cleaned it myself and it was no sense of mold.

Cute little cottage just 2 minutes from a gorgeous beach! They have kayaks but we couldn’t use them because it was too windy. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Sharon, the owner, was very responsive and very helpful. The golf cart was a big plus for exploring the island. It was a very relaxing vacation! Love Spanish Wells and Hidden Gem!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Albury

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in Spanish Wells our entire life and I owned a business here for 18 years before I became a host in 2015. I look forward to meeting new people and exposing them to all the beauty are island has to offer.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I purchased this property from his father. I have always had a passion for retail and that led me to eventually build and manage vacation homes so that others can experience the beauty of Spanish Wells.

What makes this property unique

I love the island feel of the property it's less than a 2 minute walk to the beach. Being so close to the beach and smelling the salty air creates that tranquil escape that so many vacationers and locals crave.
