We loved the location and used the gorgeous orange blooming tree as our guide home. Amenities were great. Comfortable bed. Nice outdoor space. Washer/dryer fab. Little gnat like bugs were around the kitchen area. Somehow, at some point during cleaning from previous guests, a cat got into the home, and there was cat vomit on the floor behind bathroom door that was missed by cleaning crew. It was reported. We would stay there again!

The cottage was great! Only downside was the construction going on next door. Noisy and greatly reduced our privacy. We were unable to take advantage of the patio space.

Starfish Cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped with a blender, toaster, air fryer, large refrigerator and freezer, all necessary utensils, a coffee maker with filters, and even a 5-gallon water dispenser. The bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated having a large walk-in closet along with several dresser drawers to keep our clothes organized.While the kitchen and bathrooms are a bit dated, the home offers great value for the price. The location is convenient—close to the beach and restaurants—and the included golf cart was a big plus. We enjoyed relaxing on the side patio, which has comfortable furniture. Although we didn’t use the grill, it appeared to be in great condition.Overall, we were very happy with the house and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Spanish Wells.

Great Rental for Couples

My wife and I stayed in Starfish Cottage for 9 nights and loved everything about it. It was clean, comfortable and perfect size for couples. The owners and staff were super nice, responsive and arranged for our arrival without issue. Of course, Spanish Wells was simply amazing...beautiful beaches, great restaurants, boating adventures, and the people are absolutely the nicest. Can't wait to go back!

The Harbourside crew were very friendly and ready to help make our trip great. We had a few issues with ants and also no water one morning. They were quick to fix the problems. The house is small but perfect for 2. It wasn’t listed as a duplex on the website, but it wasn’t an issue and the people on the other side were quiet. Starfish does not face the ocean. However it is only a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The location was very convenient for all our needs. Golf cart was a nice bonus to the rental. There are a few cons. They are building another rental unit behind the house and it was very loud all day because of hammers, saws, and drills. They work the weekend too. We couldn’t enjoy the lovely patio because of the noise. Two bicycles come with the house but the pedals on both bikes were broken or missing so they were unusable. There were no bikes on the island to rent and we were told it would take 2 weeks to ship new pedals to the island. Very disappointed.

Great value

We are budget minded travelers. This rental has everything we were looking for. King size bed is sometimes difficult in Spanish Wells. It has a brand new washer & dryer which is a plus also. The rental is the best we have found in Spanish Wells so far. When you are budget minded. They included a golf cart & 5 gallon bottles of drinking water. We also had TV service for the first time in Spanish Wells.

Great trip!

Starfish Cottage was a perfect little condo for us on this trip to Spanish Wells. Quick access to everything we needed, super clean & comfortable just a wonderful little place. Had some issue with the internet though, it never worked the entire trip even after powering down, resetting, unplugging etc, so I wasn't able to login to my office & do any work in the evenings. Not a huge problem, after all who really wants to work while you're in the islands! Inclusion of the golf cart in the rental was a great plus, pretty much everyone gets around by cart & you really do need one if you're going to the Sandbar Grill on Russell Island, which was our favorite spot. We had a wonderful time on Spanish Wells, beautiful water & beaches, friendliest people ever and such a safe relaxing island, can't wait to go back!

Relaxation

Very nice rental. Owner met us at the dock with the golf cart and it was relaxation for the rest of the week. Unit was clean and well appointed. Perfect for just a couple or with a couple of small children. The cottage had everything we needed and getting anywhere on the island was a breeze with the included golf cart. We hit the Food Fair supermarket and cooked in a few nights and also hit most of the restaurants in town. Highly recommend both Wreckers and Shipyard. Buddahs and the Sandbar were both great for snacks and a cold Kalik. Papa Scoops is a must for an ice cream cone in the evening ... flavors change daily and you can't beat the golf cart drive thru. Sit on the beach, enjoy a good book and take nice walks around the sandbar. Plenty of rental opportunities to go fishing, snorkeling or diving if you are so inclined.

Awesome location in Spanish Wells

Cottage was amazing for a couple, the golf cart was all we needed unless going to another island. The local residents were SO friendly and invited us to Thanksgiving and Holiday celebrations happening while we were there. Our emails were answered promptly and despite arriving a day later than expected, all went smoothly (Pinder Taxi is great).
