Palm 22 - Beachfront Cottage with Spectacular Views/Beach

Main Beach Cottage Description

This charming beach front cottage was built with family activities in mind. The layout provides ample space for large family gatherings and, conversely, offers multiple areas for kids to play and adults to relax. A large portion of the first floor faces the beach and has an open design where the kitchen, dining area and family room flow together creating a spacious great room. The first floor also has a bedroom, full bathroom with shower and separate laundry area for added convenience. An extra wide staircase, leading to the upstairs, has hand rails positioned at two different heights for the safety of adults and small children.

A fun atmosphere abounds on the second floor. Kids love playing on the swing, the wall to wall suspended netting, and the rope ladder. The second floor also has a master bedroom and a bunkroom, each opening to a balcony deck with incredible views of the ocean. Both bedrooms have a private bathroom with double pedestal sinks and a deep soaker tub. The master bedroom has a king size bed and the bunk room has two sets of built-in bunk beds. Also on the second floor are two semi private sleeping areas. One area is situated with two twin beds and the other area has a twin bed.

Much of the furniture in the cottage was hand crafted out of salvaged material from local ship wrecks and the artwork throughout was done by Michael Cashmore Hingley, whose artwork is featured on numerous buildings throughout Spanish Wells. The cottage is appointed with all of the needed amenities; broad band wireless internet access, cable TV, flat screen TVs, washer, dryer, microwave, dishwasher, stove, oven, refrigerator with ice dispenser/water and six- zone climate control for ultimate comfort throughout the entire cottage.

Comfort and convenience continues in the outdoor living areas. The covered, ocean side deck, running the entire width of the cottage, has Adirondack chairs and indirect lighting that is perfect for nighttime viewing of passing cruise ships and star gazing. Steps from the ocean side deck lead to an outdoor shower on the side of the cottage. This is the first stop for most guests returning from the beach where they can enjoy a clean rinse with welcoming hot and cold water. The covered porch on the inland side also runs the entire width of the cottage. A barbeque grill is located on this porch, which is convenient to the kitchen and assures untimely afternoon showers won’t interrupt dinner preparation. The adjacent lower level deck, is a nice, protected alternative if the wind is blowing hard out of the North or East.

The property spills onto a spectacular sandy beach with crystal clear, shallow, safe, warm water. The beach is protected by beautiful barrier coral reefs which tame large waves and prevent dangerous rip tides. The warm, calm water provides endless hours of entertainment for the whole family, to include snorkeling and fishing. There is a fish cleaning table with running water near the water’s edge, making it convenient to quickly clean any fish that are caught. If just hanging out and relaxing is your thing you will enjoy the hammock that is shaded by palm trees and cooled by ocean breezes.

Situated on 12th Street, the cottage location on Spanish Wells is ideal and is within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, churches and grocery stores.

Optional Guest Cottage

A recently added guest cottage on the property is now available for rent in conjunction with main beach house rental. This nicely appointed two-level guest cottage offers an additional bedroom with king-size bed plus two bathrooms (one with an indoor shower and the other with a private outdoor shower). The guest cottage also includes a kitchen, dining room and living room and would be perfect for grandparents, aunts, uncles or friends of your family. The cottage is for adults only with a max of two occupants. The nightly charge for the guest cottage is $150 per night plus a $150 cleaning fee. The guest cottage is only available to those renting the main beach house. Please contact the owner if you have any questions concerning the cottage, island or transportation options. 202 437 5499

A Slice of Heaven in Spanish Wells

Title: A Slice of Heaven in Spanish Wells, Bahamas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at a truly exceptional property in Spanish Wells, Bahamas. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking location and the unique charm of this hidden gem. It was evident that every detail had been carefully considered to create the perfect getaway experience. Nestled on the pristine shores of Spanish Wells, this residence provided a seamless blend of comfort, luxury, and warmth. The spacious living areas offered panoramic views of the turquoise waters, and the tasteful furnishings created an inviting ambiance that immediately felt like home. The bedrooms were impeccably appointed, with plush beds and ample storage space, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day filled with unforgettable island adventures. The bathrooms were equally impressive, showcasing modern amenities and a touch of Bahamian flair. What truly set this property apart was its unbeatable location. A stone's throw from the vibrant local community and surrounded by pristine beaches, it was an idyllic base from which to explore the island's hidden treasures. The beachfront access and captivating sunsets made it the perfect haven to unwind and create cherished memories with friends and family. I would be remiss not to mention the attentive and friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was nothing short of exceptional.

Incredible Stay at 22 Palm

22 Palm was the perfect house for our trip to Spanish Wells for our wedding. The beach front property perfectly meets the start of the gorgeous sand bar & had stunning views. The house is equipped with water toys to enjoy the beach. The upstairs ropes/swings was such a hit with our young nieces too. Our hosts were responsive & accommodated our early check in as well.

Absolute paradise!

The property is beyond the listing! It’s absolutely perfect and the most amazing location ! We are all sad to be home ! Most beautiful beach right outside your door ! And all the memories turned into decor indoors shows how many people have cherished it over the years ! Kids had a blast upstairs and with all the coconuts when they took breaks from sun ! It was the most thought out place to stay I’ve ever stayed in! Golf cart rides and easy access to anything around ! Can’t say enough good about it! And the host is sooo kind ! Already thinking about out return !!!!

We just got back from another amazing trip to Spanish Wells and stayed at Palm22. It was such a beautiful and tranquil place, with stunning views of the ocean and peaceful surroundings.

Magical experience

A piece of paradise set on a peaceful beach with white sand and blue waters like you have never seen. It was almost surreal how beautiful it was. Joe was an amazing host whom we were lucky enough to meet in person, so helpful and gracious. The house couldn’t have a better location and is tastefully decorated and comfortable. Perfect week connecting with our teenage daughters. If you want a quiet and restful retreat with access to some of the freshest fish in the world, this is it!

Absolutely amazing!

We had never been to the Bahamas before and after reading every review of this property, we booked. We can certainly say, we’ll be back. Maybe every year!! The island is so calm, friendly, clean and safe. We had a golf cart to travel around the island and it was so much fun. We went out, to eat, two nights, The Shipyard was awesome! And the sitting was so nice and relaxing, right on the water. We saw dolphins, turtles and sharks all in one night of eating, out in the water. During our stay, we had planned on exploring to the Preachers Cave and the Blue Hole but we just never made it. We all swam and snorkeled right on the beach and just enjoyed the property. It was seriously the most amazing vacation ever. The house had everything we needed and other visitors had left floats, so we always had some to enjoy. The house made us feel so at home. Johnny and Nancy were amazing as the managers and were always a phone call away. Even tho we had no problems at the house at all! HIGHLY recommend this house!!

A Perfect Vacation House

The view of the beautiful water from the back porch is absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time sitting there and admiring the view. The house and cottage had everything we could ever need - a perfect size for our party of 6 adults and 6 children. The ropes and swing in the kids' area (2nd floor) gave the kids lots of exercise and entertainment. Just steps from the house provides an amazing adventure. During low tide in the afternoon, part of the sand bar would appear and we could find star fish, conch shells, and other sea life - in the crystal clear water. When the water currents along the sand bar provide the most perfect ripples of clear water moving in all different directions around my feet, I have to ask myself - is this heaven or earth? Johnny and Nancy (caretakers) are lovely people and were very helpful with anything that we needed. Transportation to and from airport was much easier than expected. Despite three modes of transportation (taxi, water taxi, golf cart) - it only adds up to about 30 minutes from the airport. Joe Brandon (owner) was incredibly informative and helpful. Restaurants and stores are within walking distance or a short golf cart ride. Sandbar and Shipyard restaurants were fabulous places to enjoy a view and good food. Papa Scoops (local ice cream stand) was our favorite and our whole group looked forward to our nightly ice cream treat. Spanish Wells is another world and we feel grateful to have experienced this unique village. We will be back for more visits to Palm 22.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Brandon

Host profile image
Family man with a beautiful wife and 3 wonderful children, avid outdoors man, loving anything to do with water, 30+ years in the technology field in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US.

Picture above was taken in Spanish Wells in 2010. I was holding dinner for 5.

Why they chose this property

A long time friend invited me and my family to stay at his beach house in Spanish Wells. We went in April, 2010 and had a wonderful time snorkeling, fishing, beachcombing, building sand castles, riding bikes, watching the sunset, having ice cream, grilling what we caught spear fishing and relaxing. It was incredible and my kids still tell others that it was the BEST vacation ever. I've challenged them on their declaration but they say the trip to Spanish Wells was better than the Atlantis, Disney World, Caribbean Cruises and all of our beach trips on the east coast.
I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth! As a family we were not in a rush to get to nor distracted by any of the commercial offerings that are typical of vacation destinations. Spanish Wells is not commercialized at all; rather it is beautiful, safe, and the islanders are very accommodating.
I too enjoyed this vacation immensely so I spent the last day of our vacation looking at real estate. When my friend learned that I was interested in buying a place on the island he offered me part ownership of the beach house. We have closed the deal and are now offering a limited number of rentals to help offset expenses.
