Steal away to the beautiful little fishing island of Spanish Wells, Eleuthera. The sea , the people, the beaches, the sunsets, the fishing and the flowers and palm trees all conspire to wash away the stress of our busy lives. The Palm House is teetering on the shore of a beautiful cove where you can walk forever before the water reaches your waist. A full service grocery store equipped down to the kiwi and wontons is a 5 minute walk away. Multiple restaurants, yacht club, liquor stores are within walking distance . Harbor Island and lovely Eleuthera are a short ferry ride away. Rent a car and drive south to check out various sites.

Paddle boards, kayak, bicycles and kite surf are provided. The Home was built in 2002 and furnished with an eye toward a perfect family get away. There are 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with an outdoor shower and very large seaside deck where most of the fun time is spent. There is a large sleeping room for children with bassinet, crib, toddler bed and two full beds in addition to the 3 queen bedrooms. Maximum number of guests allowed is now 8, including children. The kitchen is fully equipped and the home is lovingly decorated. Wi-fi is fully operational as well as a local phone landline and cable television. Come on down and be our guest. You will love this safe and peaceful ... Visually stunning ... swath of paradise , the likes of which are found no where else in the Caribbean..

Great Accommodations for Larger Families/Groups

The Palm House was a delightful fit for our family to travel with friends to Spanish Wells. This was our second trip to this quiet little island, and we hope not our last. There are many things to like about the property, but its best feature is the amazing deck looking out over the water. Thanks to Kenny & Margo for taking care of us during our visit, and Elizabetta for opening up her wonderful home.

Truly the perfect spot.

Palm House is even more glorious in person. The set up is by far the nicest we saw on the island. Beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable—Elizabeth was so helpful in every step of our planning and Margo was wonderful too. We’re already trying to find dates for our next trip. A truly perfect vacation. Thanks to Elizabeth for sharing it on VRBO!

Palm House

Great property! The Palm House is one of the best appointed properties I have stayed at. Pots, pans, lots of beds, games, beach accessories,etc. The porches are wonderful as well. The location is also convenient being close to the grocery store. The back porch overlooks the beautiful beach on the sandbar with your own personal ocean pool. We love Spanish Wells and enjoyed the home. The property caretaker, Kenny is awesome and very helpful and knowledgeable! Really nice guy

Paradise....Perfect!

Pictures could never adequately describe the beauty of Spanish Wells and the perfection of this house. The space was plenty for two families (4 adults, 5 children) and the location was perfect. Kenny and Margo took care of all of our questions and needs and after a day or so you magically become a local (or are at least treated like one). We will visit again and stay with Elizabeth without question.

Wonderful home/beach

I rented this house for a family get together with 4 couples and it was absolutely perfect. It is situated on the most amazing beach that is great for walking/swimming and beach combing. The house was perfect for all of us with a wonderfully stocked and large kitchen, great living area, bedrooms and huge deck that is right on the beach. There are a few really good restaurants within walking or golf cart driving distance and the largest grocery store on the island right around the corner. Kenny the property manager was super helpful. Would love to stay here again!!

Amazing home and island

We had an excellent vacation here. The location is unbeatable, with the beach a few steps away and a sandbar creating a calm, clear area for smaller kids to swim. The local property managers are amazing, very responsive and well-connected on the island. We were a party of 8 and the house was spacious and comfortable. The back deck is a great space, but could use some maintenance as there was a hole (which we kept covered with a chair) and some raised nails. Aside from this, we have no complaints, would recommend the propoerty, and would love to return again soon!

Palm House

Our group of six really enjoyed our stay there, house and locarion was amazing. There were just a few items that were listed on VRBO site that weren’t available. They listed a hot tub there wasn’t one, listed a dishwasher but it was broken. Also the outdoor shower was run down as well as the deck and the outdoor furniture shown in pics wasnt all there. Other than that we really enjoyed it and would stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 April 2025
Hi Anne. Our apologies on the hot tub issue. We didn't noticed that option had been selected when the listing was created and removed it immediately once Kenny was made aware by you that it was on there. None of the prior guests had mentioned it and we are very sorry we did not notice it in the listing sooner. We apologize as well on the dishwasher not being in service during you stay. There was not a replacement available on the island so we needed to purchase a new one from the US then have it sent by cargo. It took a while to get a new one installed but the dishwasher has now been replaced. We hope to make some repairs soon to the outdoor shower and deck. We thank you for your understanding and are glad you still enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you as a return guest.

Let's Keep This Our Little Secret!

The house is everything the reviews say. Close to restaurants, the supermarket, and soft-serve ice cream. Yet, you walk out the French doors onto the deck and are immediately on the beach. You can walk the beach for miles, walk the sand bar for a quarter mile or kayak out directly from the house to a shipwreck like my nervous husband and I did. The house itself offers everything you need and Kenny, a real nice guy, will come up with everything else you need. I'm going to stay here again as soon as I can!

What a Place!!

We stayed here for 7 days this summer with my family and in-laws. There were 9 of us in total and we had the best vacation ever. The house was plenty big enough for all but yet it was quaint and charming. The massive deck right on the water was the perfect spot to relax morning, noon, and night. At low tide, there is a huge sandbar just off the beach that you can walk to. We would bring our chairs out to the sand bar and play games surrounded by the beautiful aqua waters of the Caribbean. The owners of the property and the local caretakers were so helpful and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this place.

Best place ever!!

We had the best time! We loved everything about the Palm House and Spanish Wells. The home had everything that we needed. The grocery store, papa scoops, the harbor, and restaurants are all just minutes away from the Palm House. Kenny and Margo are just delightful. They are very accommodating and welcoming. Vincent also responds very timely to anything that you have questions about. We have small children and the shallow water was perfect for them to play. We loved the community and walks on the beach. My only complaint is I had to come home. You will not regret staying at this wonderful home and in this lovely beach community.

Fantastic stay!

We had an incredible stay at Palm House! The beach and ocean are right at the doorstep. We enjoyed snorkeling right in front of the house every day to see what new sea creatures we’d find. We were lucky to find a few sand dollars! We kayaked out to the nearby island which was tough, but well worth it because there is a coral reef surrounding it so the snorkeling was incredible! The beach is pristine and very pretty unpopulated so it’s very quiet and peaceful. Everything in the house was clean and comfortable. They were kind enough to leave the sunscreen and alcohol from the previous renters, so that was a bonus! Kenny was available for anything we needed from the taxi to the excursion. The grocery store was very close and we enjoyed all of the restaurants.

Amazing!!

We visited the Palm House the week of MLK 2020. We were a group of 9 with kids ranging from 3 yrs to 10 yrs old. The Palm House on Spanish Wells is a magical place! The beach in front of the house was one of the most Beautiful Beaches any of us had ever seen. The owner Liz and her Caretakers Ken and Margo were amazing and the excursions with Bruno Underwood were fantastic! Spanish Wells is a laid back island where people get around on golf carts(which we loved) and are able to truly get the R+R that we all need! Our kids didn’t want to leave! The Palm House is extremely comfortable with 2 families and the location is perfect. We all can not wait to come back!

Why they chose this property

Literally the Palm House Bahamas is how I imagine heaven.

I wake early, brew a cup of coffee and sit outside overlooking the beach while reading the news. A couple puffy scattered clouds speed by while I listen to the birds and the wind breathing on the palms. The waves crashing slightly and the fishermen's boats motoring out to sea! Poof! I realize I cannot worry about the things I cannot control!. The stresses of the world drain away such that peace overcomes me. Its an incredible feeling for someone tightly wound.

This property is my definition of peace. The community is extraordinarily safe and the views are breathtaking for those of us that love being on islands. The home is a home to build memories with our families able to sleep comfortably 12 to 15.

Get married on the beach, have a family reunion, share with another family friend, treat some work colleagues to a retreat. The home is perfectly set up for entertaining and chilling with wife and kids.

What makes this property unique

Food Fair is literally around the corner. A reasonably sized grocery store with most items one would find in the states plus some local baked items. The island has great internet service and the electricity is reliable unlike other islands. All the amenities of a decent size town but on a cay in the ocean with a population of just over 800. Quite impressive how well the island is maintained by the local government. The locals are welcoming, kind, accommodating, honest.
