We also have a sand terrace, beach chairs, snorkelling equipment, some basic water shoes in various sizes, floats and 2 Crystal Clear Kayaks for rent.

This property is amazing! They thought of everything from beach shoes, towels,coolers, toiletries, in the house. The little beach area out back and the sea view is breathtaking my son git married there. Everything is a ahort ride on golf cart. Very Beautiful. Tracy the homeowner is 100% helpful and was very responsive to messages we even talked on the phone several times as she help make sure we had everything we needed for our son's wedding set up even got us a reservation at the beach restaurant near the house. The filtered water is good too. If you come to Russell Island Spanish Wells you want to stay here. Memories made and we had a wonderful experience.

Great house for two families!
We had two families in this house with a total of 6 kids ranging in ages from 12- 6mo. It was in a great location with privacy but close to the sandbar restaurant and an easy golf cart ride to town. The house was so well stocked and made it easy to cook. I’d definitely recommend it!

Such an enjoyable trip!
We absolutely loved our stay at booze bungalow! We traveled with five children all under the age of five and the home had everything we could need! Tracy was also very willing to work with us when we had concerns that our passports were not coming in in time. It is a truly lovely home and perfect spot for anyone traveling with littles and had everything we could have needed!

Great first experience to Russell Island
The house was very well appointed and well thought out design on a beautiful oceanside with excellent snorkeling right out front. The check-in process could not have been better. We were met at the airport, brought to the ferry, picked up right away by the property manager with golf cart waiting and brought to the home with no delay. Checkout was just as smooth. The islands of Russell and Spanish wells were stunning and we cannot wait to come back!

Cute, quiet and comfortable but disappointing
We felt safe and comfortable, enjoyed the night sky and peaceful, quietness as well as the close proximity to The Sandbar restaurant. On the downside, the map location on VRBO is totally off and shows this house much closer to the bridge over to the main area of Spanish Wells so it took longer to get anywhere (obviously not too much, but worth noting). On the inside, in the master bath the sink cold water didn't work at all and the water splashes everywhere when running at a low to moderate flow. Also in the master bath the toilet 'wobbled' and looks like it leaks at the bottom, GROSS. Also, the water completely stopped on us twice, once when only 1 was being used and then again when 2 were being used at the same time with no other water running. The refrigerator took over 12 hours to cool items placed in it after we arrived, however the freezer worked fine. Would suggest an upgrade. We didn't use the upstairs at all since there were only 3 of us, but I don't see how any adult over 5'3 could stay there. Small linens; kitchen and bathroom hand towels were limited and looked like they were used for cleaning vs. face, hand or dish drying. The outside needs work - A LOT. The grass was long, the two lounge cushions down by the water were torn, beat up and very dirty. No umbrellas could be found as shown in the pictures. There isn't any beach access, so not safe for young children. The shed and items in it were very dirty and rusty. BBQ grill was not level and dirty.

We felt nothing but at home during our stay. Communication with the owner was great and fast, plus the house manager, Mitchell, was fantastic! He was so helpful. We love the island and the seclusion. It’s a very low key place that’s quiet. Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing Stay - Wish I could give 6 stars!
Our stay at Boos-Bungalow was magnificent. This was the best stocked VRBO we’ve stayed in. From toiletries, to pantry staples, sunscreen, bug spray & laundry supplies-the Enders family has thought if everything. Incredible weather, wonderful snorkeling right in the back yard (the highlight was the sea turtle & barracuda) and super convenient to the Sandbar restaurant. Spanish Wells and Russel Island are a very laid back friendly places & it was such a relaxing week. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks for everything

We'll be back!
This was our first trip to Spanish Wells and we had a wonderful time. Our stay at Boo's Bungalow was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We had four adults and one infant and we were all comfortable. We have been traveling to the Bahamas for 20+ years and have stayed in a number of vacation rentals. This was by far the best equipped and one of the nicest, if not the nicest, we have ever stayed at. We traveled with our toddler (17 month old) daughter for the first time and loved that we did not need to bring a portable crib, car seat (not needed on island) or high chair. We like to travel light and staying at Boo's Bungalow allowed us to do that. We loved the location and everything else about the house. Will definitely be back!

The property and amenities were outstanding. The beaches stupendous!! Wish we had been better prepared for all the things you need cash for. Mitchell (property manager) was very helpful. The island people are sooo friendly and helpful. Do NOT fly Silver Airways!!! Multiple delays and cancellations that resulted in tons of additional costs and hassles for us, requiring us to stay an additional night and change flights.

Paradise!
The request from our 3 kids, ranging from 14 - 20, was that our family vacation be in a tropical location, has crystal clear water, no crowds and is not commercialized. We hit a bull's eye with this home and location. This is a very cute home, clean, and a well organized and best stocked kitchen we ever encountered. We saw other vacationers now and then, but we basically lived with the locals for the week and took in their culture. Friendliest folks we ever encountered. Very safe. Easy to get around the island on golf carts. Communication was great between Tracy and Mitch. We had a flat tire on a golf cart and Mitch had it addressed immediately. We arrived to the island later than scheduled, and Mitch accommodated the changes without a hitch. Definitely check out the 'private' beach past the house just beyond where the paved road ends....we were the only ones there every time we went to it. We can definitely see ourselves returning. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home for our family to enjoy!
